Ski Lodge Reboot - The Midnight Express!
When I first posted this ski lodge I ended up getting overwhelmed with school and life stuff and being unable to actually work on it. But I'm back! Without further ado, let's begin~
---
You wake up to the sound of a train whistle. It pierces through the foggy dream you’d been having, bringing you back to reality. The morning sun streams through your bedroom window. You glance around, puzzled about where the noise came from. When you’re unable to find an answer, you shrug and get ready for the day. A purple butterfly perches on your windowsill. It watches you.
Continuing on with your morning routine, you make a quick breakfast and head out the door. A warm breeze ruffles your hair, hitting you with the unexpected aroma of rose and sage. And there it is again - that high, musical train whistle in the distance. The violet-winged butterfly has followed you. Now it flutters through the air and lands on the front steps of your house. Your eyes are drawn to it, and you notice that next to it is an envelope. The folded paper parcel is a rich, deep indigo color sprinkled with gold and sealed with silver wax. Curious, you pick it up and open it. When the paper is torn, a puff of glitter is released and a crisp folded letter slides out. The letter is blank, but a voice begins to speak -
Greetings esteemed friend!
I hope I have not interrupted you, however this is the easiest way to contact you. You’re probably wondering what is going on - in which case, have no fear. The Midnight Express is currently passing through, and we would love to invite a few lucky souls to join us on a weeklong trip through the realms. The Express is no ordinary train (as you have probably gathered already). It has numerous luxurious amenities, from a state-of-the-art ballroom and dining car to a greenhouse and astral observatory. Of course, almost all of these will be available to you as a passenger on the Express, as well as all the sights and activities a tour through the realms could offer. Should you choose this generous offer, please complete the form below -

We hope to see you soon!

Admins could you please delete the most recent comment I'm an absolute idiot and accidentally revealed my identity-
I can't tell what you mean by "the most recent comment" and I don't want to delete the wrong comment. There may have been other comments posted since you wrote this. You need to tell me some specific detailed wording in the comment you want deleted. Or do you just want the name field changed? Let me know.

Never mind, don't worry about it.

Name: Tenebrous ("Tenney" for short!)
CBer or AE: CBer
Pronouns: She/her
Appearance: I'm in black and white like an old movie character, and for the most part my clothes are too; except for rare, small details of color. 5'8 with bright eyes, and a nose that's slightly on the bigger side. I don't mind it though, I rather like it. My outifit, hairstyle, and makeup look would change depending on what historical era I was dedicating myself to for the day.
Personality in exactly seven words: History obsessed, friendly yet bit awkward extrovert.
Luggage: Clothes, accessories, toiletries, chocolates (Yet again; I might be addicted), sketchbook, HB pencils, eraser, books, Swiss Army knife, First Aid kit, rose perfume, and my history notebook.
Favorite color described as poetically as possible: It gives us life, physically and emotionally. It's the shade of love, anger, tragedy, strength... All forms of beautiful, burning passion. The color flowing through our veins; thick, rich, ruby red.
Zodiac sign: I think I'm a cancer...? Sorry, I don't know much about this stuff. I was born in July.
Law or chaos?: I'd usually pick chaotic good, but seeing that that's not an option... Chaos?
Favorite fancy word (serendipity, hiraeth, etc): Chatoyant.
Anything else we should know?: My voice sounds like an old movie recording, but the quality, tone, slang, and accent would depend on what time I was dressed as.
Talking is hard for me sometimes. When I get happily excited, I fumble over my words.
(May 9, 2023 - 6:59 pm)
Please have your form up by Monday, as I'd like to start as soon as possible!

Thank you to everyone for joining! I posted this prologue last time, but I thought I'd do so again for the new guests. Part One will be out this week!

The beginning.
May 9, 2023. The Midnight Express.
A great writer once proclaimed, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” It follows to wonder, then, who the director could possibly be. Sitting as I am, surrounded by all the stars in the universe, it quite seems like there is none - that we are in fact the masters of our own fates. But alas, that is not the case. This is a mystery, after all, in fact just another facet of the great Mystery.
However, no greater power is without its own puppet strings, reins that can be harnessed and manipulated to the actors’ own desires.
Ah, but I think that’s enough musing for one night. The guests are going to be on board soon, and we must prepare - for the best, and of course for the worst. I think this upcoming week will be very interesting.
