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

[PIRATES!!!]

[. . . in order to prevent any serious tragedies here, the kitchen knife goes flying from Akechi's grasp as soon as Sanji tackles him, pushing him face first onto the ground with a whump. the utensil skitters across the floor, coming to a stop a few feet away]

[Congratulations! wild Akechi with a knife has been captured!!]

[concasse]

[... Hm.

But what if he doesn't want Akechi and just wants that knife?

In which case -- abandon ship! Sanji casually gets right up, like he didn't just tackle this poor teen to the ground, strolling up to the knife that's clattered to the floor.

And starts celebrating]

Finally~! Back where you belong, my sweet~! [Picking it off the floor, Sanji dusts the knife off with a syrupy smile]

Did you miss me? Never fear, we'll never be separated again~!

[ :) Never again... ♥]

[doublecrows]

[this is awkward, should Akechi leave Sanji alone with his knife. . .]

[at any rate, eventually Akechi pushes himself up, giving Sanji a sharp look from his place on the floor]

That's mine.

[he stole it first, finder's keepers!!]

(ʘ‿ʘ✿)]

Eh?

Yours, you say?

[doublecrows]

[someone hold Sanji's flower]

. . .

I'm a dead man walking, and you're going to take from me the only means I have of defending myself?

[:/!!]

[concasse]

I mean, it's cute you think I give a shit, but...

[Mmmmyep.

He sure is gonna be taking this knife]

[doublecrows]

[SANJI!!]

Didn't you receive the one Varian-san stole? You don't need two knives.

[give. him. the knife!!]

[concasse]

A chef needs as many knives as he can carry, actually.

[Just.

Casually throwing the knife into the air so it somersaults and lands in his hand by the handle.

Sanji is an asshole and might be enjoying this.]

[doublecrows]

[SHOW OFF]

[it reminds him of Joker, actually. who also tended to show off those fancy knife moves of his mid-battle. jerks]

How many knives does it take to chop vegetables, precisely?

[concasse]

Five.

[doublecrows]

Is a chef's skill level directly correlated to how few knives he needs to cut vegetables? The fewer the knives, the more skilled he is?

[Akechi has a Death Wish]

[concasse]

Flattery ain't giving you the knife back.

But points for trying.

[HE TRYIN' IT]

[doublecrows]

[a frustrated noise]

You greedy-- knife hog.

[concasse]

You should see my swordsman.

[holding up three fingers]

Two for his hands, one in his mouth. That's how he fights.

[Real fuckin' story.]
