CHAPTER 2 ; MINGLE
CHAPTER 2 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.

I'm free~ And I'm hungry! If food is made specifically for me, that'll make me happy! I'll eat all of it! I won't let it go to waste, no matter how disgusting!
no subject
In any case, Sandalphon hates waste, so he appreciates that Natsuo would avoid creating it. He turns the cookbook around and lifts it toward him. ]
Hm. Since you're so insistent, what do you want to eat?
no subject
Fried rice! Chanpuru! Something where you just toss whatever together, and then you can't mess up!
no subject
We'll see about that. You'll have to show me some of the steps.
[ Drawing the book back to himself, he closes it. ]
Seeing as you're hungry, I suppose we can get started now.
no subject
Alright, let's go! Sanji's got one of his knives back, so we'll be able to cut things up in there now too! You can leave that part to me!
no subject
How fortunate. We won't have to use the butter knives anymore.
[ That was incredibly tedious. In any case, onward to the kitchen. ]
no subject
They make it to the kitchen, Natsuo rushing forward before Sandalphon to stick his head past the doorway before waving him in. ]
Good. Sanji's not here to yell at us for messing the place up. We gotta be fast.
no subject
The cook is irritable, because he cares about his place of work. As long as we're careful, why the rush?
no subject
[ Do you think they'll be careful? Sandalphon, maybe, but Natsuo got this reputation of being a hellraiser and he suspects Sanji wouldn't let him within 50 feet of the kitchen unless he were supervised. ]
no subject
[ Well, he'll be doing most of the cooking, so it shouldn't be a problem. He steps inside the kitchen. ]
Why don't you read the steps to me, and I'll do the rest? Of course, you can handle anything that requires cutting.
no subject
You're good at following instructions, right? 'cause I won't know if you're doing something wrong, so you have to do it exactly as I say!
[ Ingredients first, which he'll read out, to lay on the counter and measure as needed ]
no subject
What's next?
no subject
[ Lots of things that are done side by side instead of step by step, but between Natsuo reading everything out loud and Sandalphon following directions, he isn't worried about everything getting out of hand. He can chop just fine, wash things if needed— Sandalphon gets the harder jobs of measuring and stirring things to make sure nothing burns, keeping an eye on the stove or whatever to make sure nothing gets neglected.
It's a pretty tough cookbook, definitely not a 5-step blog recipe. ]
no subject
Sandalphon has little choice but to delegate the basic tasks. It's simple enough to keep track; doing everything at once, however, is a different story. There's little time to think as he focuses on keeping up, and perhaps that's a good thing.
Don't expect anything amazing. At least it's not a complete disaster. ]
no subject
You've cooked before? Or you like it? Is that why you were reading a cookbook?
no subject
[ —which is why, at that exact moment, something starts to smell like it's burning. He blinks, then extracts the charred ingredients and looks around to ensure that everything else is all right. ]
no subject
Natsuo hovers around behind him, peeking out to check the damage. It's not completely charred through like he's used to seeing when he watches one of his neighbors back home cook, and sometimes recipes call for slight charring?? Uh. ]
It's okay! We'll just take the black stuff off and it's okay! You're doing a good job!
