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

Please address any complaints, concerns or criticism to that guy—

[ again, he points a thumb at Sanji.

flinching as he does ]

Seriously, he's in bad shape— he's talking tough shit but he almost didn't make it in there.. okay? Just, help him out.

[concasse]

[From the floor, where Sanji is very pointedly not moving:]

Shut up.

Let the lady yell at us if she wants.

[He is going to die a gentleman if he's gonna die at all.]

[function]

[ sternly, to zelos: ] The both of you are. [ but then, to sanji: ] I'm not yelling.

[ ... anyway... any complaints from either of them before she tries picking up sanji herself? because otherwise she's just gonna do it, nbd ]

[holybind]

[ No complaints, actually despite how much pain Zelos is in? This gets a shit eating smile out of him.

He staggers over to 2B so he can look over her shoulder at Sanji ]

Can't believe it took you almost dying to get physical contact with a woman. I'm proud of you partner!

[ And then he stumbles a little cause dizzy, blood loss, u know ]

1/2

[concasse]

[2B is more than welcome to scoop Sanji up! Be careful with that right side -- it's where most of the bleeding comes from, seeing as something literally skewered into his torso...!

Good times were had in that maze.

Also, for a half-dead man, Sanji's eyes snap open with alarming clarity, aimed at Zelos:]

I will take you to hell with me, bastard.

[concasse]

[-- Wait is a lady holding him?

A lady?

Fuck it, nevermind, Sanji is dead weight in her arms with the biggest grin as he literally passes out from delight.

And blood loss.

Probably that, too.]

M-mellorine....~

hm i probably should've remembered to track the thread

[function]

[ i mean, she could hold him by whatever's sticking out of him like a barbecue stick instead of hime carrying him. it's his choice to piss her off or not.

she grimaces as sanji goes limp, taking a moment to brace the sudden shift of his weight. she should be getting paid for this, smh. but once she secures sanji in her arms (and ignores his attempts to woo her), she turns back to zelos. ]

Can you walk, or should I look for someone else to help you?

[holybind]

No, I can manage— just worry about this bastard. Sorry if he's kind of a pain to deal with. I'll make sure he makes it up to you when he comes to.

[ And because he's a literal child he reaches over 2B to just, bop Sanji on the head. The action punctuated by him gritting his teeth cause wow everything hurts. ]

[function]

Real mature.

[ she'll shrug at him before hefting sanji over her shoulder to free up one of her arms. ]

You're lucky you're both alive.
