Ski Lodge
It was raining. You wheeled your desk chair closer to your desk (surprise), turning on your laptop. Nothing to do today, nothing to think about. Life was much too boring. It always was, these days. And anyway, when you really thought about it, what on earth could happen?
Nothing, obviously. So music was the next option to help you pretend that you were this terribly busy, important person who was nEvEr bored, absolutely not. You went and started listening to one of your favorite songs, which very much sounded interesting even if today was boring enough to steal even its sparkle. And then it cut off short.
A black video flushed into color, and you stared at the screen, riveted. You were seeing a glittering hallway, an outdoor stone archway that ended in a soaring view of ocean and sky, a trellis of dawn-colored roses. "Greetings," a male voice said, off-camera. "Welcome to the Palace of the Sun. You: an honored guest. Me?" He laughed, a happy sound that matched the glow of the video, which was currently showing a room with peach-colored walls and a mosaic floor. "You'll have to come here to find out who I really am. For the moment, think of me as your mysterious host. It's much more interesting that way, isn't it?" You saw a panorama of hills, a fountain in a graceful walled garden. "So consider this your exclusive invitation to join me here. Don't worry if life is feeling gray right now. Together, we'll fly higher than the sun."
The video ended, and you missed it immediately; that sunlit other world seemed too overwhelmingly beautiful to lose. Then your printer whirred into action, though you certainly hadn't touched it, and a form presented itself to you. You picked it up.
Palace of the Sun-- Official Form: Your Passport to Friends, Sunlight, & Laughter
Name:
CBer, AE, or OC?

Out of 10, what rating would you give this form? Haha, we're joking. Hopefully, however, this wasn't too boring?
Warning: There will be chaos, laughter, and quite possibly strange disappearances. Be prepared to meet friends and uncertainty about who your friends really are. There may be questions. There may be doubts. There may even be pizzas. Enjoy!
This is primarily for AEs, but CBers are encouraged to join as well. Each CBer can also sign up an OC (please note that only one OC per CBer will be accepted). Spots close on October 1st! And one last note: I'm under an alias, so feel free to guess my identity (if it's possible, that is, which I have my doubts about).

Welcome to everyone who's joined so far! *free cookies, which is something called Ski Lodge Promotion that comes in so very handily in times like these* Since we're still lacking a couple of forms, and I may have unavailability syndrome for the rest of the week (it's a busy life, being a prince), I'm going to extend the due date for forms+reservations to October 5th. Get ready for your adventure!
(September 30, 2024 - 2:46 pm)
Ahh good last night I was like oh Styx I forgot to fill out the forms

Name: rainswept
CBer, AE, or OC? cber
Pronouns: she/her
Age: 15
Appearance: i haven't completely decided on a cbsona, but let's go w/ honey-brown hair, gray eyes on the thunderous side, self-possessed, petite, effervescent.
What are you wearing to this ski lodge? !!! i love these questions. i'll be wearing a black long-sleeve tie front top, white leggings, and a black hooded cloak. i might take along a sword.
Brief personality: passionate, kind, witty, musical, potential dynamite. whoa, never knew i could sum myself up in so few words
Opinion on unicorns: i went through an Intense Unicorn Phase when i was about five, and have had a fondness for them ever since
Favorite song (it can be any, as long as it's CB-friendly): party in the usa by miley cyrus. also girls just wanna have fun, same singer.
Opinion on talking boats: yes pleaseeee
Shipping (if AE or OC): haha i'm already shipped irl, and find it great
Do you think confetti belongs in libraries? never thought about it, but yeah, i think it does. in fact, i'm going to commit to the cause and say that all libraries should know confetti.
Would it surprise you if Dr. Seuss turned out to be a mouse? no is my go-to answer, but if we're realistic—still no lol
Would you mind if most of these questions turned out to be irrelevant to the ski lodge? they're so intriguing/surprising that i think they'd be great as part of a ski lodge. on the other hand, i'm not sure i want confetti showering down on me as i'm reading a book in a talking boat w/ a unicorn on one side of me & a dr. seuss mouse on the other, so... maybe not.
Favorite color: ochre or saffron
Are you an author? yes! i've got to share some writing on here when the frenzied pace of high school slows down a little.
In a fantasy setting, do you prefer candlelight or moonlight? both really~ i'll say candlelight, tho
You can bring either paper or pens to the Palace of the Sun. Which do you choose? pens. i cannot survive without pens.
Other: i'm so much looking forward to this! are you periwinkle, maybe, or zealatom? also, it's late and tests need to be studied for so sorry if this is hurried.
Out of 10, what rating would you give this form? Haha, we're joking. Hopefully, however, this wasn't too boring? 9/10 at least. great form = great ski lodge, right? in which case this is going to be a masterpiece.
