CHAPTER 5 ; MINGLE

The Story Continues...
CHAPTER 5
26 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.

I'm like halfway into accepting my decent into crazy cat lady- I think you're the crazy animal hoarder here.

I wonder where it went for so long.
sanguinairy: (ponder)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-07-11 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Well, they're all very cute, so it's hard to turn them away...

[And Saizo is just an eternal fixture in his life, so he'll just have to accept his crazy animal hoarder fate.]

I wonder that, too. I'm glad that it seems to be well-fed and in good condition, though. The animals here all seem to be very well cared for...

[Even those angryass swans.]
disclosures: (1)

[personal profile] disclosures 2018-07-11 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
That's true. All these animals hanging around are pretty hard to say no to.

[She hums quietly as she looks at Dragon's shrine.]

Maybe it's the magic of this place? Keeping all of them well cared for while we're all busy?
sanguinairy: (gentle judgment)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-07-11 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
Aren't they? They're really too cute.

[Good thing the ones in the menagerie have to stay there or the entire castle would be a zoo by now...]

That sounds as possible as anything else, though. I mean, the swans appeared out of nowhere... Who knows where they're all kept?
disclosures: (3)

[personal profile] disclosures 2018-07-11 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
I kind of want a dragon, but don't tell Tiger. I just have to go down and get one. But it's pouring out there.

[Good thing they're in Dragon's place.]

... Magic? I really hate that answer, but I think it's the best we've got.
sanguinairy: breadcrusts (makes me remember)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-07-11 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Tiger's probably gently yelling somewhere in the distance... But he nods along.]

The dragons are quite cute, too. And they all seem so spirited! The ones that I saw were giving their new friends quite a time, at least.

[rip in pieces, dragon owners.]

Yes, that does seem to be the answer in most cases here. I suppose it's better than nothing...

[personal profile] disclosures 2018-07-11 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Have you ever talked to them outside of trials and stuff?

[She nods, thinking about the dragons and tigers... but honestly she's so bad at taking care of herself that she's not so sure about taking out any of the animals out of the menagerie.]

I'm just glad we haven't run across any animal corpses. Bad enough we have to deal with people dying.
sanguinairy: (disconcerting)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-07-11 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
Tiger or Dragon?

[A curious tilt of his head. Though at the mention of animal corpses, his brow furrows a little. NO ONE BETTER EAT SAIZO IF HE DIES... He better not get a tiny noose either.]

True... Though I'd like to think no one here would be cruel enough to needlessly hurt an animal like that.

[Other people are fair game, it's fine, they're fine.]
disclosures: (6)

[personal profile] disclosures 2018-07-11 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
Either one of them.

[She looks at the shrine in front of them...]

I don't think anybody's that kind of sociopath. The animals would probably be fine.
sanguinairy: (bloody handkerchief no. 1039)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-07-11 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well... Tiger, yes. [Struggle Squad and their Struggles With Tiger™.] Have you?

[It's good they seem to be on the same page regarding their lack of sociopaths, though. Even Akechi is like, pretty okay as far as known murderers go?? Good work Akechi.]

Mm, as long as nothing changes in the castle that might affect them. I hope they're kept warm if it starts snowing again...
disclosures: (4)

[personal profile] disclosures 2018-07-12 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
No, I haven't really talked to either of them.

[She shrugs. There's nothing she really needs to talk to them about.]

God, can it just not snow again? I moved to California to get away from the snow. Why does it have to follow me into a magical murder castle?
sanguinairy: (ponder)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-07-12 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
Mm.

[A little nod! He'd also tried his best to avoid them until he broke into one of their rooms, so he gets it...

That said, with some light curiosity.]


Is that where you come from? Ah, but I agree. I don't really like cold weather much... Or rain, but I'd still rather have rain over snow.
disclosures: (1)

[personal profile] disclosures 2018-07-12 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I've been living in West Covina, California for a while now. Having the sunshine is really great.
sanguinairy: (where's my bagel)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-07-12 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Warm and sunny places really are much better for the mood and health, aren't they? I wouldn't mind living somewhere like that.
disclosures: (1)

[personal profile] disclosures 2018-07-12 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Right! Sunshine, warm weather, being two hours away from the beach- it's the ideal.
sanguinairy: (lil ol me??)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-07-13 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I've always wanted to spend time at a beach properly... Everyone seems to like going there.
disclosures: (5)

[personal profile] disclosures 2018-07-13 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
I highly recommend it! The sand gets everywhere, but you can make sandcastles and the sound of the ocean is so relaxing.
sanguinairy: (you don't say!)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-07-13 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
I've been able to hear it before! [HE SOUNDS SO EXCITED.] We marched through an ocean port once. It really was lovely... I like the birds that gather by the shore, too, but I've always wanted to go out and swim in the water.
disclosures: (1)

[personal profile] disclosures 2018-07-13 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe we'll get a chance for that. You know, eventually. After this is all done.
sanguinairy: (whatever you do)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-07-13 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
That would be nice... I think we all deserve something like that, you know? Jae-ha and Stephanie mentioned going to the beach together.
