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.

[ He's good enough, and he's researched sufficiently to know the ingredients and techniques for measurement. He's no cook, but he does his best. ]

What's next?

Umm. Ingredients, preheating, peeling...

[ Lots of things that are done side by side instead of step by step, but between Natsuo reading everything out loud and Sandalphon following directions, he isn't worried about everything getting out of hand. He can chop just fine, wash things if needed— Sandalphon gets the harder jobs of measuring and stirring things to make sure nothing burns, keeping an eye on the stove or whatever to make sure nothing gets neglected.

It's a pretty tough cookbook, definitely not a 5-step blog recipe. ]

[ Thanks a lot, Natsuo.

Sandalphon has little choice but to delegate the basic tasks. It's simple enough to keep track; doing everything at once, however, is a different story. There's little time to think as he focuses on keeping up, and perhaps that's a good thing.

Don't expect anything amazing. At least it's not a complete disaster. ]

[ Look, he wants this meal to turn out well, and that means helping with meal prep but not doing any of the actual cooking. Chopping and stuff is pretty brainless, so he'll toss another wrench Sandalphon's way, that is holding a conversation in between directions. ]

You've cooked before? Or you like it? Is that why you were reading a cookbook?

This is my first time cooking.

[ —which is why, at that exact moment, something starts to smell like it's burning. He blinks, then extracts the charred ingredients and looks around to ensure that everything else is all right. ]

[personal profile] randori 2018-06-23 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh no-
Natsuo hovers around behind him, peeking out to check the damage. It's not completely charred through like he's used to seeing when he watches one of his neighbors back home cook, and sometimes recipes call for slight charring?? Uh. ]


It's okay! We'll just take the black stuff off and it's okay! You're doing a good job!
