Oh, dear, rebooti
Oh, dear, rebooting again, I suppose. How many times will this be?
The second, Lila.
Oh yes, of course. Well, I suppose we must have it done again!

You collapse on your bed after getting home from school, tossing your backpack in the corner of your room. Just as you're getting comfortable, someone yells for you to go and get the mail. You run outside and look in the mailbox. Surprisingly, there is only one letter, and it's addressed to you. You open the envelope and read:
CBer,
You have been generously invited to the one and only Skywater fortress, former school of sky and sea dragons alike, but, since the dragons moved out, we have been using it as our home. Unfortunately, we being the only two dragons here, we have become lonely, and decided to invite ten CBers to stay with us for a while. You are one of the lucky few.
During your stay, you will enjoy many of the different hobbies of our former students, including sports, crafting, and much more. There will also be an amount of free time every day, during which you can do virtually anything you want. We will review the rules once you are all here, and rules include punishments for breaking them, we are sorry to say.
Did we hear you wondering how you are going to participate in dragon hobbies, when you are not a dragon yourself? We spent a lot of time contemplating that. In order to enable you to participate, we are giving you a way to become a dragon for your visit! All you have to do is fill out the form below, and a coat of dragon scales will appear in front of you. Put them on, and you will be instantly transformed into your chosen dragon form and transported to the Skywater fortress in the same moment!
You are allowed to bring two companions for free, but if you want to bring three there will be a fee of twenty dollars to pay for lodging.
Here is the attendance form. AEs and CAPTCHAs must fill it out as well.
Name:
CBer/AE/CAPTCHA:
Age:
Gender/pronouns:
Requested dragon appearance (appearance must include breed name, and we request that you have gills or other implements for underwater breathing):
Describe your personality in five words:
Favorite food:
Favorite subject in school:
Fears:
Likes:
Dislikes:
Favorite book:
Favorite movie:
Luggage:
Salutations, Vansix and Lila
Just a tiny bit confused and mostly excited, you run back to your room and find a pen. Just as you finish filling out the form, it shimmers and implodes in your hands, replaced by a glittering cape of dragon scales. You drape it over your shoulders, and just as the letter said, you transform, and the world swirls to black as you're transported to Skywater fortress.
~
Of course, we won't require you to re-fill out the form, if you were in this already.
However, we will be accepting four new CBer participants, if they are all right with arriving late. No deadline for these four to arrive, unless we finish the ski lodge. Also, to avoid confusion, here is a handy list of the original participants:
TheaterGirl, Status: Alive
Nyx, Status: Dead, day five pt. one
Luna-Starr, Status: Alive
Leo, Status: Dead, day four pt. three
Kitten, Status: Alive
Sybill, Status: Dead, day six pt. four
Barnswallow, Status: Dead, day 1 pt. 1
Agent Winter, Status: Dead, day six pt. four
Porcelain Dragon, Status: Dead, day five pt. four
Joan B. of Arc, Status: Alive
Vivian, Status: Dead, day two pt. two
Nikai, Status: Dead, day five pt. four
Niko, Status: Alive
Sage, Status: Dead, day three pt. two
Nihil, Status: Alive
~
Again, four new CBer participants are allowed to join, and they each may bring one companion if they wish.
We will repost all the original participants' filled sheets, and the existing chapters of the ski lodge. We hope you enjoy--
And that we don't have to reboot this yet again!
*the moment when I realize it's revive and not reboot*
Also, feel free to guess our identity.
I'll give you a hint: we are one of the CBers who has made a leaving/semi-leaving thread, and not one who has been impersonated.
That was two hints.
Oh, featherscales.
<owncb>
Darling, the CB is not yours.

Day seven pt. One
Bakerloo popped into his new blue-and-yellow dragon existence right on top of a breakfast table. Eight pairs of eyes stared at him in surprise and irritation, some of them. He laughed nervously and climbed off, shaking someone’s orange Jell-O off of his talon. The dragon who it had belonged to gave him an especially angry glare. “Sorry,” he whispered. “It was not my idea to land there.”
“Bakerloo, so kind of you to join us.” Bakerloo looked up at the black dragon who had spoken. “I'm Vansix, and this is Lila. Please have a seat, someone will be with you in a moment.”
Bakerloo took a seat at a table with TheaterGirl, HeroesOfOlympus, Indigo Feather, and Mahriel. “What’s everyone’s deal?” he asked TheaterGirl out of the corner of his mouth. “I mean why did everyone look at me like I was going to murder them?”
“They might have thought you were,” TheaterGirl answered. “Someone has been. We’re the only eight left out of eighteen vacationers, CBers, AEs, and CAPTCHAs alike.”
Bakerloo blinked. “Heh heh. How do you know if you're next?”
“You don’t. You wake up dead. There was going to be a closing event where everyong got resurrected or something, but that got cancelled. I dunno why.”
“Why doesn't everyone just leave?”
“Because despite the murders, most of us are still having fun,” Luna-Starr called from the other table, where she sat with Joan B. of Arc, Nihil, and Niko.
Bakerloo shuddered. “I wonder who is next….”
The murderer laughed silently as they heard the question. Little did he know.
“Okay.” Vans went along the line of CBers and AEs, making sure everyone was there. “Where’s HOO? Ah, there you are. Stay forward, please, so I can see you. Thank you. Now, as I was saying. Since the scavenger hunt was so rudely interrupted, Lila and I have decided to make up for it with a game of capture the flag!” The dragons cheered halfheartedly. Someone groaned. “I heard that. Now, the team captain for the red team will be….. Joan B. of Arc!” Joan looked surprised but pleased. “And for the blue team, since there’s an uneven number, the captain will be Klirscales!”
Klirscales slunk forward nervously to stand next to Joan. “You can pick first,” she whispered.
Joan nodded. “I pick TheaterGirl!”
Klirscales licked her lips, coughed, and said, “I pick Luna-Starr.”
“I pick Nihil!”
“HOO.”
“Niko!”
“I pick Indigo Feather.”
“I pick Mahriel!”
Bakerloo looked mildly put off about being left for last, but he went to stand with the blue team. Blue was okay. He liked blue.
“The blue team’s base will be in the willow ring in the woods,” Vans said. “The red team’s will be on the bank of the lake there. In order for your team to win, you must get the other team’s ‘flag,’” he held up two pieces of cloth, one red and one blue, “from their base and back to your own. Once you are outside your base you can be tagged by the other team. If that happens, you must go to their base and wait in their jail to be released by one of your own. Does everyone understand? Any questions? Good. Head to your bases and hide the flag, but it must be visible. No burying it in the ground, because that’s cheating.”
The two teams split up and headed towards their respective bases. The murderer sidled up to their accomplice, who had luckily been put on the same team as them. “Is it ready?” they asked in a low tone. Their accomplice nodded, a short jerk of the head.
“The ambush is prepared. Simply pull the pin and the rocks will come crashing down on them. They’ll never know what hit them.”
