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.

More or less? It's still not very comfortable, but I can get to point A to point B if I need to.

[ ... ]

I mostly just need to know how fast I can move in case something happens.

Do you think it's doable...?

["Can you run fast enough to not get murdered??" in more polite terms.]

...

You can do a lot when you're running on adrenaline.

[He laughs at that, but it's the tired kind of laugh that says "hopefully you won't have to".]

I suppose. In any case, you might not want to test it out quite so roughly just yet.

[Ah, there's his .5 sensibility point, used up for the week.]

[ there's a pause and then she sighs. ]

... yeah. You're right.

[A little smile. He gets it!! Staying still is Hard.]

It only hurt, right? Nothing reopened?

It only hurt. If it reopened, I'd probably be cursing a lot more.

[ it's said with the tone of someone who is used to reopening wounds. ]

[He does not seem surprised by that implication at all.]

That's good too, then! With a little more rest, I'd imagine you'll be right back at it.

[With "it" being "getting into trouble", probably.]

[ LOOK!!!!! ]

How about you? I know you were pretty sick from the cold.

I'm feeling a little better, thank you.

[He's still fckin sick and getting worse and definitely shouldn't be outside but look??? This is how he knows it's hard to sit still!!]

It's a good thing the weather warmed up this week.
