OK. I am probably the worst writer on CB, but I will try to make a, oh, 4-day ski lodge that does not incorporate deaths.

You are in the airplane, waiting to land back in your home country. The pilot must have made a wrong turn, because the view below you is not at all like what you're used to. The trees are pink-leaved and the grass is blue, and there are a few friendly people and animals below.
Once the airplane has stopped and you have gotten out (amidst the traveler's worst nightmare: the crowd of people also deboarding), one of the people on the island comes up to you and says, "Welcome to Unbelievable Isle. An island where anything can happen regardless of whether it makes sense or not. You have been invited to a four-day stay to make sure it is ready to be opened to the public as a tourist destination." Will you join?
She hands you a form and tells you to give it to the blue-green macaw next to you when you're done.
Strangely enough, sitting on your shoulder is a blue-green macaw.

Unbelievable Island is not responsible for people sabotaging the beds (by making them squeak) or preventing sleep due to really loud classical music or dogs barking. In the latter event, Unbelievable Isle will make its rounds at 11:00 pm (you can read a book in the meantime) and attempt to sound-proof-itize the room.

First, a ceremonial top to bring this back up:

And finally our next section! THIS MUST BE CONTINUED:
Day 1, Part 1
~~~~~~~~~
Reuby Moonight woke up at 6 AM. Her macaw, Nevermore, had silently been keeping track of her sleep and started repeating, "You only slept for an hour! You only slept for an hour!" "Shut up, Never, I know," Reuby replied, annoyed that her parrot was constantly reminding her that the hotel had been sabatoged that night.
Fortunately, Sinusoidal had personally telephoned each person to remind them that as an apology for the noise, the curfew ends at 5:42 AM. Reuby was not sure why he chose such a random time but then realised that 42 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Although she was not sure that Sine was the kind of person who would read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, given his vocalised opposition to fiction literature. She rolled over and landed on a hardwood floor coloured green. "Ouch! Isn't the floor supposed to be black?" Still filled with questions and confusion, she headed out to the dining hall for breakfast, where almost all the CBers sat. She figured that they, too, had had a hard time sleeping and went out first thing after curfew just to have something to do.
None of the rooms had been soundproofed properly. Chateau had messed up and soundproofed the outside from the inside instead of the other way around.
"Hey everyone, sorry for being late!" Sinusoidal walked in, arms full of food that he subsequently threw on the pans before the containers melted away to reveal a perfectly cooked meal. "Minute rice? Who put minute rice here, I thought we were going to have Mongolian pancakes!" Sine exclaimed. "And the Unbelievable Isle flag was replaced with a North Korean flag!" Lyric mentioned. "That's not supposed to be there!" Sine ripped the sabatoge off the table and flustered to find the Unbelievable Isle flag in his kippah. "I knew there was something strange in there last night!" "You sleep with your hat on?" Parody questioned. Sinusoidal was a bit flustured at this misunderstanding of his culture and took three minutes to explain in a clear voice that no, that is not a hat, it is a kippah or a yarmulke if you speak Yiddish. And he concluded by saying that no, he does not sleep with his kippa on but before he took it off that night he noticed a strange feeling in it and was unable to identify its origin.
Reuby sighed. The impostor had struck again twice more.

How'd you all like that?

by the way, i just realised that Parody has left when I abandoned this for so long. Nevertheless, I will keep her character in the story until I am told otherwise.

Next part out!
Day 1, Part 2: The incantation
~~~~~~~~~
Lyric stepped out of her room, still angry at whoever sabotaged their rooms. Already five more incidents had happened; a firework blew out the lights, both Turquoise, Persimmony and Nevermore had been dyed pink, and the swimming pool had been replaced with a pool of Jell-O, tricking both Moon Wolf and Poinsettia. Today they would learn how to make random objects materialise thanks to Unbelievable Isle's strange powers. Lyric planned to create soundproofing material for her room.
"OK, everyone, let's learn how to materialise. First you have to recite the incantation, 'oi korei tera qatzikwaka' which means "we are friends, land" before reciting the name of the object you want to materiallise in Unbelievi. That's a language. I can translate, but we also have dictionaries and learning books out." To demonstrate, Sine recited the incantation before saying "oee lipu unbelivi-ta" which apparently means "nine Unbelivi books" in the language, as just that materialised before them. "See, it's easy! You can take those things home, but the spell will only work here." He proceeded to translate each person's desired object to Unbelivi. When he came around to Lyric, she said "soundproofing walls". Sine replied, "Trying to fix the sabotaging problem? I applaud your integrity. Ewe nokut." "What?" "Ewe nokut. That's how you say, "soundproofing wall" in Unbelivi". "Oh. Oi korei tera qatzikwaka ewe nokut." Instantly she heard an "oof" sound in her room and looked back to find new walls, supposedly soundproofing. She heard other people recite the incantation and was surprised that it even worked.
At dinner that night, Sine was surprised to find all the food gone; another act of sabotage. Fortunately, he finally recited the incantation again with the Unbelivi word for "food" and a fully cooked meal was placed on the table. "Why don't I always use this spell?" He remarked. As Lyric went to bed that night, she finally breathed a sigh of relief as she didn't hear a thing from outside.
Suddenly, she heard a big pop, and immediately she heard dogs barking. She looked around and saw her "ewe nokut" laying on the floor. The sabotageur had struck again.

Admins, these are just words that I made up. Unbelivi isn't a real language but is inspired off a language I created. I promise those are the correct translations. I will try to use as little Unbelivi as possible (as I am gradually making up the language) and when I do I will always provide translations (i created the language so they can be whatever I choose)
(May 1, 2024 - 6:19 pm)
oooo i love the language you created and the writing in general :)
(May 1, 2024 - 10:45 pm)
Sine, this is great! I really like how you came up with your own language and how fun and culturally inclusive it is! Great work!
(May 1, 2024 - 7:22 pm)
I created my own language a few weeks ago; many words in Unbelivi are the same.
