Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

Ski Lodge

*Warning: This is a typical ski lodge, in which there will be a murderer who slowly ticks off the other people. Some people will die, but there will only be mild descriptions of death and no gore. If these things bother you, I would recommend clicking off the thread.* 

You sit on your bed, a book resting on your crossed legs. You stare out the window, where little waterfalls of crystal drops streak down the glass, lit by moonlight. The constant drumbeat of rain on the roof is soothing, along with the soft rumblings of thunder. You open up your book, which is an exciting fantasy tale, filled with adventure and mystery and begin to read. You jump as a quiet tapping comes from your window. You glance up, looking towards the clouded pane of glass. At that moment, lightning flashes and in that split, bright, glowing second, you see a face in the window, with black, empty eyes. Then the window bursts open. You fall off your bed, a failed attempt to leap off. You press your back against the side of the bed, the wood frame digging into your spine. Your breath comes in rapid gasps, almost drowned out by the pounding rain. Something lands beside you and you start to scramble away, then realize it’s an owl. A fluffy, brown barn owl sits beside you, a small bag around its neck. It hoots quietly and ruffles its feathers, tilting its head. Slowly you reach out and touch the bag. It suddenly falls off the owl’s neck easily and drops into your hand. The owl hoots approvingly and in a burst of feathers, it swoops over your head. You stand up just in time to see the owl fly out the window. The window slams shut behind it. You blink, not sure if that really just happened. You carefully open the small leather bag. Inside is a diamond shaped gemstone and a tiny rolled up piece of paper. You set the jewel carefully on your bed and unroll the paper.
