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.

@Joan as a matter of fact we are.
A CBer who is participating in this ski lodge, that is.
Yes.

Day Seven pt. Two
Luna-Starr stood in a group with her teammates, listening to Klirscales outline their plan.
“And while the distraction is going on at the north end of their base,” she said timidly, “Luna-Starr, Indigo Feather, and Bakerloo will swim up to the south end using the lake, and steal their flag. It’ll probably be somewhere in that pile of boulders near the end of the lake.”
They all nodded in assent and broke up, each going to do their job. The murderer’s accomplice slipped up to them.
“You know the plan, I know,” they whispered. “Just pull the pin. They won’t even suspect. Just do your job, and make sure nobody knows it was us.”
The murderer nodded, grinning.
A few moments later, Indigo Feather, Luna-Starr and Bakerloo were swimming strongly towards the Red base. They surfaced for a few seconds and listened. Hearing excited cries from the other side of the boulders that they could see even from there, they dived again and kept swimming. They emerged at the edge of the lake and immediately began to search for the flag.
“I see it!” Bakerloo said presently, and pointed. Luna-Starr stretched to see over his shoulder.
“Yeah. Yeah, that’s it. Let’s go.” They went forward swiftly, remembering that the distraction could only last for so long.
As they neared the flag, a sense of victory already flooding their muscles, the murderer slipped up behind them silently. Laughter danced in their eyes. They pressed themself (themselves? idk) against the wall of boulders and pulled a metal rod out, then dashed away and into the lake with a splash. They winced at the sound, but quickly realized that no one would have heard it over the sound of boulders crashing. They swam away as fast as they could.
“What was that sound?” asked Mahriel. She had been startled by a loud crash, very nearby. They all turned around, mostly Blue team members, as a few Reds had been tagged and sent to Blue base. A collective gasp rose in seconds as the stack of boulders suddenly became less than half as tall as it had been before.
“Luna-Starr! Bakerloo, Indigo Feather!” cried the Blue team. They rushed over as soon as the boulders had stopped moving and began to dig. Klirscales stood off, shaking violently.
Vansix and Lila, summoned by the crash, flew over a moment later. “What happened?” Lila asked.
Klirscales shakily said, “The boulders fell and we think they crushed Luna-Starr, Bakerloo, and Indigo Feather!”
The pair gasped and joined the digging group. The search went on for a while, with no avail. Though they shifted stones for over an hour, they eventually had to admit a disturbing fact: None of the three CBers could be found.

Wow.... that progressed rather quickly.
Are you Nyx? @Vansix and Lila
(October 8, 2020 - 10:01 am)
.....Yes. You guessed me!
I lasted longer than expected, SI-wise at least. I usually get guessed in days.
(October 8, 2020 - 1:04 pm)
Oh neat! Congrats on lasting this long! XD

Thank you!

TOP! We will be continuing this when NaNoWriMo ends, hopefully we can finish it while we're taking a break from our novel. *sheepish laugh* We're writing it in 18,000-word parts, and we're taking a two-week break from it starting December 1st, so expect a new part around that time!
If that last part seemed like we were trying to get rid of a lot of CBers at once, it was necessary to have a group death.
Taking some inspiration from a Harry Potter ski lodge a year or two ago. That's your hint for the time being.

TOP!

Question for everyone still alive (TheaterGirl, Joan B. of Arc, Nihil, Niko, HeroesOfOlympus, Mahriel), for the benefit of the next post: Who is okay with being portayed as if they believed in ghosts?
Yes, Niko is also alive, but as we now know that we are Nyx, there is no need for us to keep pretending that Nyx is a separate entity.

Oh, Hi! Forgot I was in this xD
Um, yeah, I'd be fine with that!
