Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
You're walking throug
You're walking through the streets of a fair, the atmosphere filled with voices, shouts, and the distinct scents of mouth-watering cotton candy and fried food. Your eyes scan the market booths, taking in their colorful banners and wares. The air is warm and sticky with humidity. You wish there was somewhere to sit and rest in the shade, but the fair is crowded and the sun beats down.
Above the dim of the crowd rises a tinny, light noise, the sound of windchimes even though there isn't much of a breeze. You follow the noise to a small booth you hadn't noticed before. It's mostly covered in deep perple cloth and from its awning hang those distinctive chimes. There's no sign indicating what it's for, but it looks shady at least. Under the awning you feel instantly cooler and breathe a sigh of relief.
"I haven't had a customer in a while," someone speaks. Their voice is like crumpled paper, crinkling and well-worn. You turn, startled, to see a woman standing behind the booth's table. She can only be described as ancient. Her skin is like bark, dark and creased, but her squinting eyes are bright. She takes in your surprised and expression. "I tell fortunes, darling. Would you like yours read?"
Why not, you decide. You take a couple of dollars from your pocket and offer them to the woman, but she pushes them back at you. She shuffles an intricately decorated deck of cards between her thin fingers and instructs you to pick one. The card you draw isn't a card at all, but a piece of folded indigo stationary.
Greetings, esteemed traveler! You are cordially invited to the world-renowned Hotel Astreum for a special stay just for humans like you. At least I hope you're human, the whole premise of this event would be wasted if not. If you choose to accept this invitation - and I dearly hope you will - be sure to pack your finest clothing, leave your shoes at home, and tell your friends and family you are only going out for a short walk in the woods.
And fill out the form, idiot.
Yes, of course. Please do.

You look around after reading this puzzling invitation and find that the fortuneteller and her tent have completely vanished. You stand in the middle of the street as crowds pass you by. You would think it was all a dream if not for the paper clutched in your hands. What is this all about? Who even are Lune and Mx. Polaris? You suppose there's only one way to find out.
We await your arrival, dear traveler.

Personality is exactly five words: Adventurous, book worm, stubborn, wild.
Packing list**: A couple good books, my sketch book and art supplies, my pocket knife (Just in case), a Polaroid camera and my ukulele.
Favorite color (make it as unique and specific as possible): My favorite color is teal. Sorta a mix of that color when your underwater and you look up toward the sun and it lights up all the dark blue and that color when your in the woods and you look up at the tree canopy. My favorite colors used to be blue and green then I realized if you mixed them together it was perfect. I associate teal with freedom and balance.

Apologies for the late notice, but I need you both to choose different numbers. Rora, 7 was already chosen by Bea, and Midnight Phantom, 25 is not between 1 and 22. These are important to the ski lodge! If it's been a few days and you haven't chosen I'll have to do it for you. For refrence, the numbers still available are 2, 3, 10, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, and 22. Thank you!
