The Story Continues...
CHAPTER 526 Narrators Remain ;

Now, what are the odds that this week will be as quiet as the last one?

… look, we have to at least humor the idea, don’t we?

The rumbling that awakens Narrators on this lovely Monday morning is – larger. It’s louder, it’s more intense, and it lasts longer, like one final shove. Once it concludes, the castle is quiet, almost tired in its stillness. Should anyone wander into the dining hall this week, they will find that none of the tapestries burn up in true testament that no ink had been spilt and no Narrators have left us.

Should you choose to explore the grounds and find the new additions to the castle – you’ll likely be surprised to say the very least.

In the interest of recreation, the pumpkin patch has been opened – and you’re more than welcome to see if you fare better in a pumpkin carriage better than our Cinderella did. What’s the harm in giving it a try? Or if you’re more interested in paying your respects, the shrines of the Tiger and the Dragon are both open. Shall you see what happens if you try to leave an offering? You know what they say – nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Or maybe you’ll find your friends. Your dearly departed, delightfully preserved friends in the morgue.

Reunions always bring a tear to the eye, don’t they?

As if the sky mourns with you, Narrators will find that on Tuesday afternoon, it will begin to rain. It pours and it pours and it pours… and it will show no sign of stopping until Friday evening. Plan accordingly. Stay dry.

Finally, partners had best get comfortable with the idea of touching into the spirit of generosity. They'll feel compelled to be kind to their partner, including possibly making or giving them a present. Isn't that just the sweetest? This feeling will dwell until the beginning of Thursday night's curfew.

Welcome to Week 5, everyone! Hopefully you all enjoyed your break week and are ready for your regularly scheduled murder! We would also like to remind players to submit all of their Chapter 4 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, July 11th so keep your eyes peeled for that as well.

once upon a time, there was a castle...

In this Castle lived thirty-eight Narrators, whose purpose was to fight and die for the Crafters in the guise of taking part in their war; among them was a Beauty and a Beast, who were tasked with a duty that they both found most detestable.

Striving to dismantle this war from the inside out, the Beauty attempted to kill one of the Crafters without the Beast's knowledge, and both of them were banished to the Other Side, left to rot even as the other Narrators were returned to their own stories.

Now, the last and final battle of this war is about to begin; 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 must bear in mind that what is beautiful is often cruel.

Be that as it may, the Narrators who replenish the inkwell through achievement shall be rewarded with beautiful wishes, and a desirable ending need not be writ by the ink of life.

Nor should Narrators strive to spill entirely gold or purple ink; the results could be disastrous.
