grimmoired | CHAPTER 2 ; MINGLE

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.

Hm. You're even skinnier than I thought.

[twink twink twink]

And what's the problem with that?!

[ hE LOOKS INSULTED and will immediately sink back until only his head is above the water. ]

Nothing! I prefer men to be slim, actually.

[Oda comes to mind immediately, but... probably he shouldn't count that, given the reason for him being so thin.]

It's just fun to get a rise out of you.

You- you-

[ is dazai trying to flirt with him? is he just trying to get a rise out of waver again?

because either way, waver turns red, and not just because of the warm water. ]

D-don't say those kinds of things!

Oh? What kind of things do you mean?

[it's definitely both flirting and annoying waver at this point]

The implication that I'm your type! As if I'd want to do anything of the sort with you!

[ HE'LL JUST SCOOT AWAY THANKS ]

Would it help if I directly said that you're my type?

[Scooting closer...]

How the fuck am I your type!? [ will waver continue scooting away? yeah. ] A-and you're definitely not mine! Absolutely not, definitely not!

[SCOOTING INTENSIFIES]

Pretty boys with long hair are exactly my type~ It doesn't hurt if they smoke...

[His type is Akutagawa.]

What's your type if it isn't me, hm?

M-my type?!

[ that...actually stops waver on his tracks. he looks at dazai with a mix of anger and confusion, his mind trying to work out just what his type is.

someone ambitious. larger than life. charismatic. muscular. tanned.

wait-- ]

That's none of your business!! Stop making a fool out of me, dammit!

Aren't you the one making a fool out of yourself here? All that I'm doing is flirting.

[It's not Dazai's fault that Waver gets flustered this easily.]

Well I didn't ask you to flirt with me! Especially when you don't even m--

[ when you don't mean it.

what?! what the hell does that mean? angrily, waver decides that it's best if he simply shuts up. ]

Whatever. Leave me alone.

...What, do you want a romantic candlelit date? Here where you or anyone you get attached to might die at any time? You're usually smarter than that.

[Waver should know better than to bring feelings into it. And when Dazai is saying you have too many feelings, that's bad.]

I don't want to date you! I don't want to date anyone in this damned place because of that very same reason!

[ he'll just. splash some water in dazai's general direction. he's already had enough with becoming over-attached to people he shouldn't. ]

[Dazai splashes water back, because he's mature.]

But one night stands are out, because that's worse somehow.

Damn it, Osamu, I'm not a promiscuous bag of hormones like you!

[ more water thrown at dazai. they're five years old. ]

I'd rather be a promiscuous bag of hormones than an ice queen with my head up my ass!

[More splashing. Five year olds are more mature than these two.]

I do not have my head up my ass! You're just insufferable!

[ they're demoted to two year olds now. more splashing ]

You'd know about insufferable, wouldn't you?!

[they're gonna be yelling at each other for a while]

You were just trying to flirt with me! Is that how low your standards are?!

You might shut up for two seconds in bed. It's possible.

[yes his standards are that low]

W-what?! [ he's turning red again. damn you dazai ] I wouldn't shut up just because you want me to!

Ideally you'd be moaning too much to talk!

[he's not sorry]

Do you not have any shame!? Shut up, before I make you!

[ he's going to splash water at dazai. waver does not want to hear about this and, if he wasn't so prideful, he'd be getting up to walk away.

he is that prideful though, and knows very well that dazai will use this against him again if he does something as cowardly as run away. ]

Of course I don't have any shame, so how are you going to make me shut up?

[retroactively, a body has been found in the bathhouse]
