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

[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.]

[psychedelica]

[ is this a toast... this feels kind of goofy, but Hikage complies, albeit somewhat awkwardly, raising his own glass. ]

What are we toasting for? There's nothing to celebrate.

[sanguinairy]

[THIS BOY...]

The drinks taste better if you toast. Kondou-san told me that once.

[They always toast, even in the middle of BLOODY WAR. They're clearly all just grateful to have survived another day, which is fair enough here too considering people are dangers to themselves as much as they are to each other, damn.]

[psychedelica]

I've never heard of that. [ a beat. he takes a sip. ] ... Maybe I just forgot it.

We didn't get killed, so there's that, I guess.

[sanguinairy]

Maybe. I don't know if it's a very common saying.

[They have weird sayings in Hino... IN ANY CASE, that is very true and he won't deny it.]

Another week to enjoy a drink is always nice.
