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

Well technically I've never made one of these before, and the most difficult part of it so far is that there's no metal anywhere I can use. [ he laughs a bit awkwardly ] But, um, it's no big deal, just a little craft project. I like building stuff.

[sanguinairy]

[There's a little hum in response, light and curious. Varian's out here doing his best, dang... Then:]

Is there anything that I can do to help you? I'd look for metal, but I think the only source wouldn't be very sanitary.

[Since he's thinking of the tools in the infirmary and no one needs that.]

[alchemenace]

It's fine, the fireplaces don't run hot enough for me to be able to shape metal anyway. [ ... just. casually talking about that. ] But there is something you might be able to help me with? I'm going to need to try and sand this wood down, but it's not like we have woodworking equipment lying around. I'm trying to figure out what I could use...

[sanguinairy]

[WHY DOES VARIAN DO LITERALLY EVERYTHING.]

Mm, that's true. [He's familiar with smiths, at least, and how hot their fires burn... BUT SANDPAPER STAND-INS, this he can do!!]

There may be steel wool in the kitchen... But you can also use other, rougher pieces of wood to shave and sand away things you don't want.

[alchemenace]

[ stares in tangled ]

I'd... rather not get more wood. [ it's raining. and also. his stone ax absolutely sucks for this. ] But steel wool is a great idea! Thanks, Souji.

[sanguinairy]

[im crying]

You're welcome. Would you like me to fetch you some now?

[He can't tell how far along in the leg making process it'll be needed...]
