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

[Thanks Waver. Nico's going to pause and he'll pick up a stack of books to hand to him. They range from fairy tales to mathematician books to books about the history of flight. What he keeps are other fairytales and books on medicine, and one on post WW2-Europe.]

Are you sure you can take all of these?

[londonstar]

[ hm. waver's going to look at the pile of books and then at nico. it's a big pile and waver's a long twink

he takes some of the books, but leaves the rest for nico to carry.]

You can help me. Follow me.

[resumed]

[SIGH. Whatever, fine. Technically this is his mess, so he picks up the rest of the pile and begins to follow as instructed.]

They're just books. They would be fine where they were, wouldn't they?

[londonstar]

It's always good to have things in order. If you took books from their spots, then you should put them back once you're finished with them. Unless you'd like to drown in a mountain of books.

[resumed]

Do you get buried a lot or...? [How insistent.]

[londonstar]

No, but I used to frequent the library back in college and I would end up with towers of books around me. It was always annoying having to carry them all back.

[resumed]

That sounds annoying. It's a library in a magical castle though. I'm sort of surprised they don't have means of putting things away themselves. Enchanted and stuff like that.

[londonstar]

It's a magic castle run by two beings that believe it's necessary to participate in a battle royal for the sake of 'balance'. It's just as likely that the books will curse you with paper cuts as they are to go back neatly in their place.

[resumed]

[That would have been a great idea, why didn't we think of that. But Nico looks a little perturbed by the idea and shakes his head.]

I would rather not. There isn't anything to heal a papercut and it's just annoying.

[londonstar]

[ theres still time ty

however, waver gives him a glance. ]

There are some that are capable of healing as their 'gift'. You could find one, maybe.

[resumed]

You think it'd work with something that minor?
