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

nap time....

[randori]

[ .....Well, that's fair. Books make Natsuo sleepy too, so he isn't altogether surprised about two Ions collapsed on the floor together like that.

He circles around them for a bit to see if they're not actually dead and he should be using his permanent outdoor voice for the good of warning people of another double murder, but once that's determined to not be the case, he pulls some books off the shelves- thin ones with floppy covers, and opens them up and sets them down over both Ions' eyes. ]

I'm intensely angry at how cute that tag is

[fragileprophet]

[As they both are certainly not dead and Ion's never been a terribly heavy sleeper, his consciousness rouses again when he feels something resting on his face. Slowly, disoriented, he takes hold of the bottom of the cover and tugs it downward until his eyes are free. Seeing Natsuo, he smiles, though it's only barely visible under where the book is now resting.]

Oh--hello. Did I fall asleep?

[fonlines]

[ Yup, neither of them are dead. Though this Ion's somewhat of a deeper sleeper and harder to rouse than the other one, so when the book is placed on his face he just pulls at it a little, murmuring something beneath his breath.

Is he awake or still asleep? Eh, well. ]

[randori]

Yeah, you were asleep.

[ He keeps his voice low, shuffling around the stack of books he has clamped under his arm so he can pull one out and start laying them one by one over ...less fainty fonlines ion, as per my access filter name. Like a blanket, or something, but one that threatens to fall apart when he stirs. ]
