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

[Hm.

Reyna raises an eyebrow, then shrugs; Rebecca sort of has a point. They don't have any way of confirming anything written in here. Still, she taps the last line.

the fates of the Beauty, the Beast, and all the Narrators lost in the last two weeks lie in the hands of those who remain.]

The Narrators lost in the last two weeks... if we're to believe this, that means there's still something we can do for them.

[disclosures]

[They've lost five people in the last two weeks. Does that mean there's still something they can do for them? There's a difference between a Happily Ever After and a To Be Continued, but she can't make it out. Besides how much crueler a Happily Ever After seems to be.

There's a pause before she taps out W H A T in Morse Code.]

[toughchoices]

[Reyna's gaze snaps to Rebecca as the tapping starts.

...what, indeed.]

I'm not sure yet. [...] But I think it might be worth having someone ask our hosts about these two. [She taps "Beauty" and "Beast".] They're not titles that any of us possess, I'm pretty sure.

The hosts never seem to answer anything during trials unless it's about the murder. So their best bet will probably be before Saturday or on Sunday.

If they'll answer at all.]

[toughchoices]

...or after.

[Reyna's expression is contemplative.] If we solve the mystery again this week - without someone getting a guilty conscience and confessing, this time - maybe they'll decide we've earned it, and they'll be a little more talkative.

[She's been wondering why they got wishing well tokens the first week and not this one - and thinks perhaps this is it. The only difference she can think of is that in the first case, they were all but convinced of Sharpay's guilt before she admitted anything; in the second, there was still room for doubt.]

[disclosures]

[That did seem to be the difference between their first week and last week. So they're going to have to hope that this week's culprit either has no guilt about what they've done, or they find them quickly.

It might be Dragon this week. Do they trade off? Dragon's more straightforward when she actually answers.]

[toughchoices]

[Dragon's more straightforward, it's true. Reyna takes a few moments to think about it, then shrugs.]

Maybe it will be both of them. Or maybe it will be the Dragon again. I don't know.

...we might be able to ask beforehand, but who knows if they'll answer.

[disclosures]

[H A R D

A N S W E R

It's hard to get a solid answer out of either of them. There's a lot they seem to be keeping to themselves.]
