Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
**********************************************
You flop down onto your bed and stare into space. You needed to do your homework, but you decide to put it off. Grabbing the Rubik’s Cube from beside your bed, you start to solve it.
Sliding the rows and columns around, you fiddle with it for a minute before finishing the top.
Suddenly, as you are about to start solving the sides, the cube floats up and starts solving itself. What the...you think. In just a few seconds, the Rubik’s Cube is solved. It hovers in the air for a moment but drops down suddenly. You hear it crash, and as you peer over the side of the bed, you see the tiles have broken off. Oh, well, you think. There goes my Rubik’s Cube.
But as you are trying to see if the cube can be repaired, your hand flutters across a piece of paper. You unfold it, trying to make sense of anything that just happened.
Dear Recipient,
I would like to invite you and 14 others to Codetwist Castle.
You are a handpicked group of highly gifted people. This trip will not only be a vacation but a test. A test of your abilities. I, unfortunately, cannot tell you what will happen if you pass, as the answer will only be revealed if you make it to the end. The trip will last two weeks. If you are a CBer, you will have a limit of one AE and one CAPTCHA. No more. If you wish to come and test your abilities, please fill out the included form. Fold it up and draw a cube on the front. Then we will receive it. We will leave on December 15th.
Sincerely, your hostess, The Codemaster.

You quickly fill out the form, fold it up, and give your best attempt at drawing a cube. The piece of paper floats in the air, then just vanishes. You hope that this will give you a good break from school. Well. That was weird.

Apologies, could everyone please list if they have any powers? Under this comment? Thank you!
(November 24, 2020 - 7:53 am)
I can...fly, go invisible, and talk to animals. I learned that last one from Chessie.
(November 24, 2020 - 12:29 pm)
I have the power to very subtly alter people's emtions around me so they don't actually realize I'm doing it. Also when I want to, I can sort of make people ignore me... not like being invisible, but just having people forget that I'm there without actually changing anything about myself.
(November 24, 2020 - 12:57 pm)
I don't want to overpower myself, so I'll just stick with the basics: Flying, the ability to turn into a dark mist, and illusions.
Gambler says "infew".
In a few what? Seconds, hours, days?

Oops sorry I didn't see this earlier. My power will be being able to teleport only within the area, so like just across a room or building.
