CHAPTER 5 ; MINGLE

[themodsgrimm]

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. full navigation. locations taken (statuses) stories (profiles) info & faq wishing well private conversations

[HEY REYNA. Souji is having a great time regardless of whether or not the cat is having a great time... He also pats the spot next to him, inviting her to cat town.]

I am. Cats are lovely, aren't they?

[pathcrossed]

[The cat is very lovely, thank you!! But this is one of the times it's in a less playful mood, tail twitching as it rebuffs Souji's effort with the reed; the addition of another voice gets its attention, though, and it turns its head slightly to glance at Reyna, meowing.

Welcome to cat town, you're chill, you can stay.]

[toughchoices]

I'm more of a dog person, myself. [see: aurum, who is within earshot should she whistle for him but probably preoccupied chasing a squirrel or something. still, she crouches down at the spot souji indicates and holds out her hand to the cat to give it time to get used to the idea of her hand being close before she actually tries to pet it.] But this one is pretty cute.

[hear that, cat? you're cute!!]

[sanguinairy]

[Why won't you love him and his reed, cat!!! He'll relent for now though, so Reyna can have some cat time too.]

Ah, I guess I'm ultimately more of a piglet person than anything else. [Saizo is also snuffling around somewhere, doing pig things.] But cats are nice and soft. This one, especially -- it likes to keep me company when I nap, sometimes.

[A GOOD CAT.]

[pathcrossed]

[A very good cat, thank you, it agrees!!

Reyna's hand gets a sniff, then an encouraging purr; she's welcome to pet it if she wants, she's been officially accepted. If she gets too close to its face, though, it does not seem to like that and will duck away, for the record.]

[toughchoices]

[HECK yes. time to pet the cat. she makes a point of avoiding the cat's head after the first time it ducks away - back pets it is, then! aww. how cute.]

Really? How kind of it.

[sanguinairy]

[Souji's way too endeared by this, honestly.]

Isn't it just? The animals in this castle are all very sweet. [...] Well, most of them.

[He's heard tales of the swans... Bad.]
