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

[Can't believe they're both going to get cursed for shrine trespassing. Souji takes a seat on one of said pews though, and immediately makes a face.]

This isn't very comfortable... Are people meant to spend a lot of time here?

[vigilantics]

God, I hope not.

[ she immediately looks behind her towards the door, as if expecting them to suddenly shut on them like the puppet room does. ]

[sanguinairy]

[He looks over at about the same time, feeling uno concern. ...But the door doesn't shut, at least! One tiny blessing.]

Hm... Well, it doesn't seem too bad so far. Just a little dimly lit.

[vigilantics]

I wonder what it's for though...

[ it seems a little full of yourselves to have a shrine dedicated to yourself but okay. ]

[sanguinairy]

[Is that not also perfectly fitting!!]

To pay respects, maybe? [It looks pretty similar to shrines he's seen before, after all... But he shrugs a little and pats the spot next to him.] Even if it's not comfortable, it doesn't seem like anything bad happens if you sit, at least.

[vigilantics]

Yet.

[ maybe they'll become furries and scalies if they stay here too long. ]

They should have given us the play room.

[sanguinairy]

[that sentence put a curse on my crops]

Ah, we didn't get enough people to ask for it, did we...

[vigilantics]

[ it killed me just to type it i'm a ghost now ]

No... last week was pretty quiet so I didn't think of it.

[sanguinairy]

[HECK i can't believe francy died before steph]

Maybe we can suggest a trade? We can give back the infirmary and request a nicer one, too.

[vigilantics]

One that won't be terrifying to use?

[ at least now it's clean...er.... from people scrubbing it. ]

[sanguinairy]

Yes, one that won't make people sick with its contents.

[rip in rest everyone foolish enough to take the medicine.]

...Or give people tetanus.

[vigilantics]

Maybe we should barricade it?

[ she's not sure how but. ]

[sanguinairy]

Some of the things in it are still good and usable, right?

[He... he doesn't actually know...]

[vigilantics]

I... think so...?

[ and yet, she sounds extremely uncertain. ]

[sanguinairy]

...Maybe we should go through and take count of what we can actually make use of safely.

[vigilantics]

We can separate everything into "this is okay" and "do not touch" sections.

[sanguinairy]

That's a good idea. All of the medicines can go in the garbage, too.

[NO ONE NEEDS THAT.]

[vigilantics]

Exactly where it should go. I never want to see any of it again.

[sanguinairy]

You didn't end up taking anything from there, did you...?

[One mild concern.]

[vigilantics]

...

No?

[sanguinairy]

[Just giving her THIS LOOK.]

[vigilantics]

In my defense, it wasn't my fault.

[sanguinairy]

Ah. [Well, at least she didn't yeet herself into the arms of danger once more...] Did someone bring you something for the pain?

[vigilantics]

Mm. At least it won't happen again.

[ prob...ably... ]

[sanguinairy]

["PROBABLY". WHY DOES THIS CASTLE NOT LEARN FROM ITS COLLECTIVE MISTAKES.]

Most everyone knows to avoid it by now, that's true... It'd be better if they were gone, though.
