You open the mailbox, expecting to find the usual- bills, to be ignored, advertisements, to immediately throw away, some sort of catalog, to flip through and then throw away as well. But instead of these all you see is a single enveloped letter. You quickly grab it. Maybe it’s from a relative, or the old pen pal you had almost forgotten about. The address, written in elegant script with golden ink, tells a different story. You open it and unfurl a crisply folded sheet of paper, which reads-
Dear Friend,
You are cordially invited to five days’ stay at the lovely Vertumnus Manor. Consider yourself lucky- you are one of only 10 guests who will attend. Whether you are in need of relaxation or adventure, the manor will greet you. The Vertumnus Manor is located in the gorgeous Eponine Mountains* surrounded by gardens and miles of trails for hiking or horseback riding. It boasts a spectacular library and ballroom that will certainly entice you. Your stay will be luxurious and enjoyable, and at the end of the week there will be a midnight masquerade ball. If you would like to accept this generous offer** fill out the following form-

*Do not attempt to find them on a map. You will fail.
**Declining the offer will not be tolerated for any reason
You stare at the letter for a moment, and then complete the form and sign your name. When you do, the envelope opens of its own accord and pulls you into it, enveloping you into a kaleidoscope of color.

Day 1, Part 1
When the ten CBers and two AEs opened
their eyes they were all standing in the enterance hall of a spectacular
mansion. The marble-floored room stretched out into numerous winding,
shadowed hallways. Above, a crystal chandelier glittered and
illuminated them. "Wow," Lightning Girl exclaimed.
Moth blinked, their eyes wide. "How'd we get here?"
"Maybe
it was magic," Minxeline remarked, looking around the hall. She was
captivated by the mansion's sparkling lights and deep shadows.
"Of
a sort," a young voice answered. Writing jumped and grabbed the person
closest to them, which happened to be Tsuki. The others seemed just as
startled. "I didn't mean to scare you," the voice apoligized, laughing
softly. Coming down the spiral staircase at the end of the hall was a
young girl who smiled when she saw everyone. She had deep brown skin
and curly black hair that fell to her shoulders, and wore a simple
maid's dress. Her eyes, Minx noticed, were heterochromatic. The girl's
left eye was hazel, but her right was a clear blue the color of the
sea. "Welcome, guests of the Manor!" she said. "It's very nice to meet
you all. I'm Adele, and I've been entrusted with taking care of your
stay here."
"Ooh, there's a ballroom here right?" Tsuki's AE Spontaneity blurted. "Can we see it?"
"Of
course," Adele told her. "You all are free to explore the mansion until
dinner, which is at promptly six o'clock. The guest suites are
upstairs- choose whichever room you'd like." She smiled shyly and
stepped off to the side, almost out of sight.
Spontaneity
immediately ran off. "Well, there she goes," Tsuki said with a laugh.
"Does anyone want to check out the library with me?"
"YES,"
Writing exclaimed. Silver Crystal, Moth, and Lightning Girl agreed and
together they set off through one of the mansion's many halls. The five
chatted as they walked, about books and what they thought of Vertumnus
Manor. Moth thought there was something eerie about the place and the
fact that they had yet to meet their host. Everyone else wasn't too
worried, though. They all could use a break. Soon the CBers reached an
archway leading into what was, in Writing's eyes, the most beautiful
place they'd ever seen. Bookshelves stretched as far as they could see,
reaching up to the impossibly high ceiling. Scattered around the room were couches lit by soft oil lamps. And on the far wall, possibly even more stunning than the shelves of books, was a stained glass window that sparkled like a kaleidescope in a rainbow of colors. Writing sighed in ecstacy as they entered.
Quill hung back as her companions left to explore. "This is a lovely place," she said, turning to Adele. "Thank you for having us."
Adele blushed. "I-it's nothing. It was all the Lady's doing. I just assist her."
"Grenadine, right?" Quill asked, recalling the letter that had brought them here. "What's she like?"
"Oh, she's splendid. She's extremely gracious and wonderful to be around. She arranged all of this because she wanted to share the Manor. But..." The girl's eyes clouded. "Well, you'll see soon enough."

Um, question. Did I get a spot, or did I not make it in time?
(October 24, 2021 - 12:49 pm)
Yes, you are in. Also the part I posted is formatted weird, I don't know why but sorry about that everyone.
(October 24, 2021 - 2:45 pm)
If you copy and paste, it does weird stuff to your post.
(October 26, 2021 - 6:28 am)
Are we allowed to write more parts individually, or is it all just supposed to be from Lady Grenadine's perspective?
(October 25, 2021 - 10:52 am)
I believe for a ski lodge only Lady Grenadine writes it.
(October 25, 2021 - 12:28 pm)
Please post the next part soon!!!!
