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

lab

[concasse]

Not a damn thing.

[Sanji's no mad scientist; he's just here to check out the new rooms and frown in disapproval]

But I'm sure one of us'll know how to concoct a poison.

[wagashis]

I should hope not... but I suppose if they can get it either way, it doesn't exactly matter.

[he glances over the equipment again, looking it over thoughtfully.]

I wonder if this could be used for something more helpful, though.

[concasse]

Like medicine?

[He asks while poking at one of the broken test bottles]

We got quite a few sick bastards here... so yeah, that'd certainly help.

[wagashis]

A few sick, and a couple of injured, but nothing to treat them with.

[thanks a lot for that, murder castle.]

I unfortunately don't know medicine myself, but perhaps someone else has some idea? Or there might be a book on it...

[concasse]

Oh right, we got a library, too...

In that case, we could probably ask Varian to check shit out. Told me he was a chemist... I'm assuming that means he can pour some shit together without it blowing up.

[Oh Sanji, you hope for too much]

[wagashis]

That boy...? I suppose it's possible.

[varian hasn't caused any explosions yet?? but he doesn't seem like he'd know medicine either. still, maybe that's the best they can do.]

We'll have to see what we can find and ask him, then.

[concasse]

[Varian touches corpses, he'll be fiiiiine]

Yeah? I'll run it by him when I get the chance.

[still kinda poking around as he talks]

Mmm... maybe we can find something that'll work as a disinfectant? With as many people here who like to spar and get cut up, I'm surprised no one's dropped dead from anything.

[wagashis]

[PERFECTLY FINE...]

I intend to spend more time in the library as it is; if I find any good books on the subject, I'll be sure to let you know.

[and sure, he'll go ahead and help poke around a bit, though--]

If there's anything like that here, I'm afraid I may not recognize it.

[concasse]

Honestly? ... Same here.

I'm familiar with plants for cooking, but anything like this is outside my knowledge.

[Which begs the question...]

How is anyone gonna figure out what this shit is? Are they labelled?

[wagashis]

I'm not sure... I've avoided handling them, myself.

[best not to get too close to unfamiliar substances...]

If not, perhaps someone a little more knowledgeable could help organize.
