The Story Continues...
CHAPTER 233 Narrators Remain ;

There’s nothing to shake up the feeling of helplessness and betrayal quite like some renovations.

Residents in the castle will find a gentle rumble stirring them out of their sleep on Monday morning, and if they choose to find the source of the noise, they’ll notice a newly constructed staircase on the second floor. It stretches up, up, up and will guide the Narrators to a third floor with all types of new installments to the castle.

Go ahead, crack open a book, try your hand at some potion mixing.

What could possibly go wrong?

Just as last week, the morning that the dining hall opens, the tapestries of Ann Takamaki, Soo-won, and Dave Strider will all suddenly catch flame from the bottom, burning up and up until the entire tapestry is gone.

Anyone who ventures outside will also find that the scenery has warmed up considerably. Snow no longer dusts the ground, but rather the warm sun and pleasant chirping of birds greet you to the castle grounds. The area has also been expanded, a new jousting grounds available for play and recreation. A set of stables stands next to the grounds, but anyone who ventures inside will find only hear the occasional, phantom whinny of a horse and – find some rather large feathers?

Interesting.

Finally, partners will find themselves unable to rest peacefully yet another week. While no paranoia creeps over anyone’s shoulders, when night falls and they find themselves sleeping, they’ll instead see dreams – or rather, some memories of their partner. Apparently the Crafters would rather that you all get to know each other sooner, rather than later.

Hopefully you don’t see anything you’re not meant to.

Welcome to Week 2, everyone! Today we've introduce new castle locations and brought a new round of partner effects, so please review those, including the Outside section on the Locations page. If you'd like to have your characters interact with the laboratory, please feel free to PP the mods! We would also like to remind players to submit all of their Prologue PCs and new PCs at the Private Conversations page and review the weekly ooc notes for important details in the castle.

Something exciting will be arriving on Wednesday, June 20th so keep your eyes peeled for that as well.

Monday

[She finds herself here, trying to find any records of the previous "war games". Of course, she comes up empty save for the leather bound book.

It doesn't help her now. She doesn't think they're in the final section of their "game" with the Creators. No, they seem like they're just in the beginning stages.

There's nothing else in the book. It feels like there should be, but there's nothing there.

She flips through it multiple times, but nothing changes.

Eventually she'll give up on it and start looking around the library for other works.

If she finds something interesting too high up for her to reach she'll gesture at whoever's nearby and point up at it.]

Tuesday

[At least there's a nice bath. She'll sink in and stay for a good few hours. It's a lot. Everything that's been happening over these past two weeks is... a lot. None of the people who were killed or executed were particularly important to her. But that doesn't mean learning about how they died and seeing them get executed gets any easier.]

Too short?

[Way to be obvious about it, Fitzgerald.]

[But he'll be nice this time, mostly because he is the tallest person in this entire damned place - he reaches it easily before handing it down to her.]

What's so interesting about this particular book?

[She's much too short. 5'3" is a pain to reach for things.

But she's happy to have it in her arms.

In response, she'll flip the title over to him "ASL: American Sign Language".]
