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

[This is stupid??? THIS IS STUPID.]

So like. Neigh. [Just..an uncertain look??]

[alttitude]

[god bless this is so stupid

jae-ha gives him a thumbs up

YOU'RE DOING GREAT, SWEETIE]

[resumed]

[I'm kicking you off the team I s2g

But okay, Nico's just...going to kind of concentrate to see if he can sense anything. How does one even make horse noises? Nico's going to...try. Once.

Gods this is so stupid, how does Percy do this with invisible horses? At least the pegasi understood English.]

[alttitude]

[jae-ha waits

and waits

listening





there doesn't seem to be a horse response coming]

.... maybe they're the ones that are shy.

[resumed]

Okay, well, they're going to have to get over it because I can't keep neighing at them hoping they'll reply. That's ridiculous.

...but it's possible, I guess. [Man, it could be either or? That's what's unfortunate here.]

[alttitude]

We ought to find a horse expert and have them tell us how to interpret this cold shoulder we're receiving.

[resumed]

Did anybody have "horse expert" on their tapestry? I don't even know anyone here who could be exceptionally good with animals. Maybe Rapunzel because of that lizard thing she has, but that's not guaranteed.

[Somewhere, a phantom horse snorts at the idea.]

[alttitude]

[GASP.]

I think they understand humor? Were they just laughing at us...

[resumed]

You'd be surprised what animals can understand. Blackjack used to have a sense of humor from what I understand, too, so. [SHRUG.] It's still weird to know they're probably there and I can't see them though. Maybe we deserve to be laughed at.

[alttitude]

Ahah, well it's not like anyone can blame us for trying.

Is Blackjack an old companion of yours?

[a pet!!!]

[resumed]

I wouldn't say we're close or anything. Reyna would know him better than I do. [But he raises his eyebrows a bit.] He's a pegasus though. Friend of a friend's.

[alttitude]

Pegasus...?

[which is]

What... is that exactly?

[resumed]

It's like a horse but it has wings. They exist where Reyna and I are from.
