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

MONDAY || SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[alttitude]

[

*Grimm voice* Murdergames.

Anyway, sometime two weeks ago Jae-ha and Souji were yelling from a rooftop asking if anyone wanted to drink with them. It is now two weeks and five dead bodies later that they will be at the dining hall on Monday, because the hours are only 30 minutes and the drinks are literally bottomless.

Jae-ha announces the bet again:] Whoever finishes the most cups before the dining hall cuts us off, and remains the most sober gets to demand whatever they ask of the drunks!

[ . . . oh right.] Oh - but no murderous requests.

[Cups line up in front of them, magically filling with alcohol and bad choices.]

Shall we?

[someone will need to fucking judge who wins by the end of this]

[wagashis]

[yeah he's absolutely Not getting drunk in public, but:]

If all of you drink, then you'll need someone sober to tell which of you is the least far gone.

[someone upstanding like him obviously.]

[spondulix]

I recommend having two judges. I don't trust the opinion of one.

[HE IS HERE AND READY TO PARTY, he's already got his hand on a drink.]

[concasse]

[... Sanji, meanwhile, is gonna just walk on by like he doesn't see shit.

He is not here for this.]

[alttitude]

[and here's Jae-ha, catching Sanji's wrist as he walks by.

and not letting go]

I'm sure we can find another.

Just like we found our Chef, here to join us, no doubt!

[wagashis]

Should I be offended that you don't trust my opinion alone...? But I don't mind sharing that duty at all.

[and to sanji--]

You're already here, aren't you? You may as well join.

[axilium]

It's about time!

[belph is here for bad life decisions.]

[sanguinairy]

Oh, good, I'm glad you're joining us!

[Because food and drink competitions will just be their collective death. GOODBYE, LIVERS.]

[axilium]

As if I would miss it.

[and then we suddenly doubled the death toll this week,]

[sanguinairy]

[GO BIG OR GO HOME.]

Best of luck to you, then. We have some stiff competition, you know?

[wagashis]

I won't have to carry you back, will I...?

[just checking.]

[axilium]

Don't worry, I take responsibility for my own well-being.

[that's reassuring, right.]

[wagashis]

See to it that you do, then-- but if it comes to it I suppose I couldn't just leave you here.

[alttitude]

We need more good men like you, Belph.

[offering him a glass!!! So It Begins]

[axilium]

That goes without saying, doesn't it?

[happily taking that glass, thanks.]

[psychedelica]

[ hmmmmm he shouldn't... and yet... ]

... What are we drinking, exactly?

[ hikage are you even old enough to drink? NOBODY KNOWS ]

[axilium]

[oh my god]

You joining us, Hikage?

[psychedelica]

I'd be lying if it doesn't sound appealing.

[ a beat. ]

I'm not getting that drunk, though.

[axilium]

You say that now, but you never know.

[sanguinairy]

[HE'S OLD ENOUGH NOW.]

Sake! [...Or ale? Beer?? He hasn't actually had a sip of the cup in front of him, yet??] ...Well, you could just think up whatever you like best, too.

[psychedelica]

... Sake... All right.

[ he's a japanese grandpa at heart, he has to. As soon as he says "all right," his cup is filled magically with that. ]

I'm not really interested in competing, but I could use a drink.

[sanguinairy]

[Raising a toast to Hikage's old grandpa-ass self. In a theatrical stage whisper:]

That's a good idea. Don't tell the others, but I'm going to go easy on them, too.

[ie he's going to go easy on himself so he doesn't straight-up die.]

[alttitude]

[WE DON'T CARE ABOUT DRINKING AGES HERE]

They'll fill with anything of your choice, I think.

[this contest is so skewed there'll be no way to tell who actually has the best tolerance]

[psychedelica]

This isn't much of a competition.

[ he's calling you out, jae-ha ]

[alttitude]

That's what our judges are for!

[they were an afterthought]
