CHAPTER 2 ; MINGLE

[themodsgrimm]

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. full navigation. locations taken (statuses) stories (profiles) info & faq wishing well private conversations

[She nods, a hand up to her throat.]

[vigilantics]

The... well?

[disclosures]

[In a very round about way, she could say it's the well's fault.

She'll nod.]

[vigilantics]

That's... inconvenient!

Any idea of when it might stop being a thing?

[disclosures]

[She'll hold up seven fingers. Seven days? Maybe?]

[vigilantics]

It would be easier if we had something better to write with than just ink... you could talk that way.

[disclosures]

[She points up to the castle, around the third floor and mimes reading.

There are books.]

[vigilantics]

... I guess you can point at words because if we deface any of them I am pretty sure we're going to get murdered.

[disclosures]

[They're going to get murdered eventually anyway.

But that's too hard to sign so instead she just shrugs. They might be.]

[vigilantics]

Hm...

[ hopefully this won't still be a thing during trial since people might use it against her, maybe. ]

We'll figure something out.

[disclosures]

[It's one full week of this nonsense.

If she's accused of something during trial there's very little Rebecca can do to stop herself from being scapegoated.

The expression she makes is "Hope so".]

[vigilantics]

Well... maybe we can try making note cards for you?

[disclosures]

[Her expression is very "How".

She hasn't seen any notebooks anywhere.]

[vigilantics]

Uh... well some books sometimes have blank pages in them, right? Maybe people won't mind if we just... take those...

[disclosures]

[She wobbles a hand back and forth. Only sometimes.

Also defacing public property is bad!!]

[vigilantics]

[ look... so is kidnapping people. ]

Maybe we can find enough that it might carry you over a bit through trial?

[disclosures]

[She can control defacing property, but she can't control kidnapping! Rebecca's never tried kidnapping before.

Her expression is very "unsure" about that.]

[vigilantics]

Okay, you come up with a better idea then.

[disclosures]

[Hmm...

She'll sign A S L

Not that most of the people here know it, but.]

[vigilantics]

That... can sort of work, I guess?

[ there are too many people here from like a million years ago. it will go over their heads completely. ]

[disclosures]

[A T L E A S T S O M E

She just needs to be able to communicate with some people. Hopefully she makes it through the week unscathed. (DOUBT)]

[vigilantics]

I'll try to translate as best as I can...?

[disclosures]

[T H X

But also she clearly doesn't have any problems speaking...
