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 shakes her head. No, there's one left.

She holds up her hand in the shape of "0".]

[disilluded]

[Ah. Hm.]

You are right about that. There could be zero.

[... He wonders if there are that many people here who have not killed another. Maybe.]

then I wonder, next week, if we will receive that.

[disclosures]

[She points at the ink on two of the tapestries and then Rapunzel's before mouthing "why"?]

[disilluded]

I suspect--and I believe many others are starting to now--that the ink reflects those who have killed someone else at another point in their lives.

[He knows what it looks like, but--]

I am a soldier. I have done so in my line of duty. And we know Akechi's situation quite well by now.

[disclosures]

[She closes her eyes and nods. They all know about Akechi now, don't they. And it makes sense that a soldier would have killed for their country.

Rapunzel is apparently a princess. So she's probably never killed at all.

She points at Rapunzel's tapestry again and then folds her hands into two talking mouths. Has he talked to Rapunzel?]

[disilluded]

I have, yes.

[A simple nod, and:]

Unless she is a very talented actress, she is not the sort of person who I would expect to kill another at all.

[disclosures]

[She'll reread all of the skills Rapunzel has listed, acting is not one of them. Rebecca's also talked to her and she can't see Rapunzel killing anybody.

So she gives a nod back.

If that's how it is... it might be interesting to see who's going to be up there the next week.]

[disilluded]

[A simple nod.]

It is worth keeping in mind for whatever portraits may end up there next.
