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

I-I mean, things like King's Man, Magic Mirror, or Sorceror's Daughter... Most of the other titles, um, mention specific characters or stories, but those are all more - generic, I guess? So it's harder to know what they might mean.

[resumed]

That's true, too. Unless there are specific titles that match with those more vague ones. Like if you look at the list, you can sort of see who matches up like Cinderella and Cinderella's prince, or Jack and the Giant.

[selfinserting]

Oh... I didn't think of that. That's a good point. Do you think those titles are, um, for people who are partnered together?

[resumed]

Not exactly. I think that would be way too easy and self-explanatory. But I do think they split us up for a reason. I'm just not sure what yet.

[selfinserting]

If the goal is to get, um, people to get killed... The way it's set up means that happens more. I mean, so far everyone whose partner died has been okay, but... I kind of wonder h-how long that's going to last.

[resumed]

I do too. They say it's someone's ability that's saving people, but I wonder if there are limitations to that that we don't know about. It's hard to ask when we can't even guess who it might be.

[selfinserting]

There must be limitations, right...? O-Or, um, there would be no point in using the partner system.

[resumed]

I think the partner system's just designed to kill more of us faster so a limitation revolving around that sounds like it'd make sense. Maybe they can't pair certain people together no matter what or something.

[selfinserting]

I wonder if it's, um, something difficult for them to do... Like, maybe there's a limited amount of times they can do it, or they can only do it for each person once.

[resumed]

If they can only save each person once that would definitely make them more vulnerable to be murdered later down the line. I think that actually makes sense. If, let's say, Jae-Ha and Sousei broke up, if they couldn't be saved again they would both die.
