CHAPTER 2 ; MINGLE

The Story Continues...
CHAPTER 2
33 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.

[A small, nervous chuckle.]

That's funny. Maybe you should get him a, a crown.
sanguinairy: (who is he pestering this time)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-06-21 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Ah! That's a great idea. How about a crown of flowers?

[He's not going spelunking for gold crowns around these parts, they're probably CURSED.]
selfinserting: (so i've got nothing to share)

[personal profile] selfinserting 2018-06-21 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, um, I don't know how to make one...

[But that would be Cute.]

Do you think he'd leave it on?
sanguinairy: (ponder)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-06-21 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Really? I can teach you, if you'd like. They're actually very easy to make.

[This is now becoming Flower Crown 101.]

Anyway, if he likes it, he'll leave it on! Probably.
selfinserting: (before i lead with the worst of me)

[personal profile] selfinserting 2018-06-21 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, um, y-you don't have to! Only if you want to.
sanguinairy: (have you heard?)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-06-21 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
I don't mind! The gardens here have great flowers for that.

[AWAY HE TURNS, gesturing for Evan to follow. Saizo hops off the throne and moseys along after.]
selfinserting: (before i lead with the worst of me)

[personal profile] selfinserting 2018-06-21 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
O-Okay! Um, thank you.

[He follows after quickly as they get to the garden.]
sanguinairy: (where's my bagel)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-06-21 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[TO THE BRIGHTEST BUNCHES THEY GOOO.]

What are your favorite colors?
selfinserting: (so i've got nothing to share)

[personal profile] selfinserting 2018-06-21 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Um... Blue and green, probably.
sanguinairy: (a pack of punks)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-06-21 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Good choices!

[He may be biased for blue, though... It's fine. ANYWAY!! He'll immediately start scouting around for blue flowers, figuring the green part can just be taken care of by the stems they'll need to twine together.]

What about these? Oh - and some of these?

[POINTING to god some different types of blue flower what kind of flowers are even here. NO POISONOUS ONES APPARENTLY, SO THAT'S GOOD.]
selfinserting: (pic#12103426)

[personal profile] selfinserting 2018-06-21 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
I-It's up to you, but... Let me help you with that.

[He bends down closer to the aforementioned flowers so he can help pick some out. Now that they're close to each other, though:]

Um, t-this might sound weird, but last week the wishing well did something and I'm not sure if it's still in effect, so... You're, um, going to want to be careful to not touch me at all.
sanguinairy: (needs 500 years of naps)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-06-21 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you!

[And a-pickin' the flowers they go, merrily on their way. Though he does pause at the warning, glancing over curiously.]

--Were you cursed, too?

[Not that he was, but it seems like a number of others were.]
selfinserting: (before i lead with the worst of me)

[personal profile] selfinserting 2018-06-21 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He glances back quickly, before looking back down at the flowers.]

I didn't, um, throw anything into the well. I think it's because of, um, something I wished for. It's not a big deal, so...
sanguinairy: (you don't say!)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-06-22 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I see...

[There's a little understanding nod, and he won't press any further. He's sure they all know by now just how badly wishes can go.]

Do you think it might wear off while you're here?
selfinserting: (so i've got nothing to share)

[personal profile] selfinserting 2018-06-22 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. It's, um, something that has an effect on anyone who touches me, so I don't really think it's fair for me to check. T-They would have to deal with it too if I did.

[He continues to pick flowers as he speaks.]

Um, how many do we need?
sanguinairy: (gentle judgment)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-06-22 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope it's not too troublesome, at least.

[He says, but judging by what everyone else got whacked with because of the well, he's not holding his breath. As for the flowers:]

We'll need another handful or two.
selfinserting: (pic#12103426)

[personal profile] selfinserting 2018-06-24 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
Y-Yeah, it's not too bad. I'll be okay.

[He misses physical contact, but - it's not the worst thing that's happened to anyone here by far. He nods as Souji gives him further instructions, picking more flowers.]

Where, um, where did you learn to do this?

[He's curious.]
sanguinairy: (a moron and his pig)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-06-24 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[A little nod is what he gets in response to the first part. Life is hard when you've got a Midas curse...

As for the question:]


Ah, my older sisters taught me. Since we lived near open fields that had a lot of pretty flowers, making things with them was one way we spent our time in spring and summer.
selfinserting: (pic#12103393)

[personal profile] selfinserting 2018-06-24 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
You, um, you must be close with them. That's really cool.

[He glances away from the flowers towards him for a moment.]

Is this enough?
sanguinairy: breadcrusts (makes me remember)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-06-24 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[He just smiles, leaving the first remark without comment and moving on seamlessly to address the question.]

Mm, that should be plenty. Starting is the trickiest part, but once you have a strong base, weaving the rest in will be easy. Ready?
selfinserting: (so i've got nothing to share)

[personal profile] selfinserting 2018-06-25 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Ready.

[He falls silent and gives a nod, waiting to see exactly how it's done.]
sanguinairy: (eternal youth)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-06-25 10:02 am (UTC)(link)
[And so he'll begin!! With his share of flowers, he starts the base of the crown, making sure to go slow enough that it's relatively easy to copy what he's doing.]

You just keep going like this until you have a whole circle, first.
