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

Forgiven for failing to save them, or partially responsible for their being frozen permanently. I'd think you'd have to feel at least a little bad about it, unless there was literally no person there that you cared about.

[Not that that would ever be true of anybody.]

[doublecrows]

[. . . . .]

If they were gone, who would be left to pass forgiveness?

[thesettingsun]

You would, of course.

[doublecrows]

So, in essence, you're asking if I could forgive myself.

[that just makes the question even more loaded]

[thesettingsun]

That's the question. Do you have an answer?

[he's smiling so innocently, surely he's not doing this on purpose]

[doublecrows]

[it's okay Akechi can take this in STRIDE]

[(or at least make it appear as though he is)]

Perhaps I do. But perhaps it isn't one I wish to share.

[thesettingsun]

Not feeling very social? That's a shame.

After all, you still have to live with everyone else, so surely you must be trying to get along with them.

[...Unless it's hopeless, because your mask was ripped off and you can't put it back on again.]

[doublecrows]

I go about my business, while everyone else does similarly. That's really all I can ask for.

[MAKE FRIENDS, DETECTIVE. if these friends will have you]

[thesettingsun]

And how is that working out for you?

[how many times has he gotten punched]

[doublecrows]

Perfectly well.

[EXTREMELY BADLY. but he was only punched once, weirdly enough]

[thesettingsun]

Oh, good. After all, given that someone died in your place, I'd hate to hear that you weren't appreciating your survival properly.
