Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
+ A Peculiar Ski Lodge +
You are walking down the road.
No, you're sitting at your desk doing homework.
Wait- now you're arguing with your parents.
Hey, weren't your parents dead in the last bit?
Whatever.
You're on Puddings Place, scrolling through the threads. Whatever the time is, you might be feeling tired. Maybe. Or maybe you're-
Just click on the thread.
Come on.
Click it...
Yes! You clicked!
You're reading through the thread, most likely feeling confused. This is most certainly peculiar.
It's about to get weirder.
Dear person who happened to stumble upon this,
Hello! You can call me The Person Who Is Running This Thing, or Peculium. I am your host! I think. Maybe there's another person who is hosting me, and they're the host! But what if...
You stop reading. This is utterly useless and confusing.
Wait, don't stop reading. I need people to write this thing. Keep going!
You might get mad at the little words on the screen, but you keep reading. I hope.
So, I would like you to come sign up for this strange ski lodge. There's no reason why you would, since you are going to die, and one of you is going to be a murderer. I mean, you'll come back.
I'm pretty sure.
Our magic is damaged, so you might be stuck inside this thread for eternity.
Let's hope that doesn't happen! Fill out this form and you will be expected to walk fifteen hundred miles to get to our mysterious building. It's rented, so please no tracking mud on the floor. Have a good day!
~Peculium
You blink. This is so confusing. But, ski lodges are fun to read. And magic isn't real, so you can't get stuck. At least, you think so.
You look at the form.
There isn't a form.
Sorry, I forgot we didn't have one yet! How exactly do you make a form? I guess it's just questions. Okay, here you go!

If You See Someone Being Stabbed, What Is Your Reaction:
You have never seen a weirder form.
Actually, have you?
Last question- Have you seen a weirder form?:
You might shrug. You might cry. You might have another reaction to this incredibly weird thread but I cannot predict it since I cannot see the future.
Alright, I think that covers everything. Go ahead and fill out the form. Be honest. I will maybe see you at the Place Where This Begins!

Thank you.

Day 1 - Part 1
"G'morning."
"Did you sleep okay?"
"No. I... I had the feeling something was about to go wrong."
"Yeah, me too."
"Hey, when the murderer comes... Can we stick together?"
"The murderer is already here."
The first kill slumped to the ground, eyes wide with the unexpected betrayal. The murderer pinned a note to the body and strode back to bed.
That morning, the guests slept in.
The first to wake (Besides the murderer, who couldn't sleep) was NoOneKnows, and Darkling soon followed. They decided that the best way to wake everyone up was a sock sliding race in the hallway, and so the sliding commenced.
Darkling won the first race, but NOK slid right past her in the second, which resulted in her bumping into the body and screaming her head off, which did a much better job of waking up the guests, if I may say so myself.
"Washagrmph! What's going on?" Moondrop emerged from her room, rubbing her eyes, and was almost trampled in the rush of people streaming down the hall.
"I don't know! NOK is screaming very loudly! Should we be panicked?" dreamiing was swept away by the tide.
"Calm down, everyone, please be quiet. We have to stay calm!" Lumi was doing her best to keep the crowd under control, but until Bakerloo stepped up and hollered for everyone to shut up and listen did silence fall.
"It's- It's- It's Twilight! S-She's dead!" NoOneKnows managed to say before the guests erupted in noise again.
"BE QUIET!" Someone screamed.
"I don't even know what happened..." NOK buried her face in her hands.
"The murderer happened."
Heads turned to see Quill holding up a thick paper covered in tiny red words.
"Read it!"
"Where did you get that?"
"How do you know?"
"Why is that even there??!"
"rEaD iT!"
"I found it... I found it on Twilight's b-body. It was pinned to her shirt. Should I..."
"READ ITTTTTT!"
"Okay, okay. Here we go.
'Dear fellow guests;
I am the murderer. I will kill every one of you. It is destiny. It is fate. I do not want to- I need to kill you. I am eager- I hate my job. Why was I chosen? I dont- I need to finish my task. The first thing you need to do is RUN PLEASE RUN I DON'T WANT TO KILL YOU ITS CONTROLLING ME I CAN'T-
The first thing you need to do is find me some weapons. Twilight was only killed because Nightfall's pocket knives were easy to steal. Now I need weapons. Real ones. You have an hour.
-The Murderer'" Quill finished reading and looked up.
"'Its controlling me...' Who could that be?" Before finishing her sentence Luna realized just exactly what that was. After all... Magicae Palace had experienced it.
It was the Mystery.
And Luna was terrified.
~~ * ~~
"How exactly do we get weapons?" woolly asked, stopping in front of a painting.
"I don't know." Firefly said.
"Cmon, dumb picture, gimme your sword!" woolly kicked the gold frame and was rewarded with a sore toe and no sword.
"Let's go find Peculium." Firefly decided, and they walked away from the painting.
After wandering the halls for quite a while, woolly pointed to a brass door with large pink letters painted onto it.
"I found Peculium." she said.
The door swung open before Firefly could knock, revealing Peculium, who had apparently dyed their hair bright green.
"Hey, kids! What can I get you? You need any help?" They asked.
"Yes, please. We would like to know how to get weapons. The murderer has, um, requested them..." Firefly trailed off.
"Oh, the murderer. Dang it. But I have an idea! We don't actually own any weapons... but you can ask for them!" Peculium smiled like that was perfectly obvious, and to be honest, it should have been.
"Then give me some weapons!" woolly shouted. She got nothing.
"Be polite, maybe. House, could you please give us weapons?" Firefly asked.
Guess what- they got some weapons. Hurray. Let's switch to Peculium... What must they be thinking?
Maybe I could prevent the disaster that the murderer will cause.
Maybe we can fight back.
Maybe the Mystery isn't as strong as it seems.
Maybe we can break it even further.
Maybe...
Maybe my guests will live.
~~
It's awfully short today.
Oh well.
Deceased: Twilight, RIPocketknives
Friends Of The Ghost In The Wall: None
MasterChefs™: None
Suspects: None... Who do you think?
Daily Puzzle: Why do you think you can ask for anything and get it in the house?
(January 11, 2021 - 7:13 pm)
RIP Twilight. Anyways, as an answer to the daily puzzle, I really don't know, but it's probably because it's magic or something like that. I suspect Quill, because they found the note first, but it really could be anyone. This is wonderfully weird, keep it up! Also TOP.
(January 11, 2021 - 11:11 pm)
Oooh! This is awesome! I love how you're using the Mystery, it's so unique. And the fact that Peculium would risk breaking the Mystery... Oh gosh, I hope Peculium realizes that breaking the Mystery would not save all of our lives... oh wow, this is going to be very interesting...
Because the house is magic! Or... maybe it's got something to do with the Mystery and such. Like, the house can summon any object as long as it existed in a prior ski lodge!
(January 12, 2021 - 8:06 am)
Aw, poor Twilight. And honestly poor murderer! Your interpretation of the Mystery is super cool, I can't wait to see where it goes. I think you can ask for things from the ghost in the wall!
(January 12, 2021 - 2:11 pm)
I love love love love love love it
:)

(January 11, 2021 - 7:31 pm)
Ooooh! I wonder who's being controlled...
(January 14, 2021 - 6:10 am)
YESSSSSS I KNOW WHO THE MURDERER IS!!!!
It's Moondrop. why?
because no one knows and darkling are eliminated due to the fact that they both slept- and woke up- so it could only be moondrop because MOONDROP AND TWILIGHT AND NOK AND DARKLING WERE IN THE SAME ROOM!!!!
*boom* you're welcome. now, let's see if Im right.
