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

It's always magic.

[ he hates... this ... ]

[doublecrows]

We are living in a castle full of people with titles based upon popular fairy tales.

[yes. Akechi hates it too]

[alchemenace]

I'm actually curious what the, what the amount of people is that knew of these fairy tales prior to coming here versus ones that weren't.

[ because. he only knew the one ]

[doublecrows]

I knew most of them. Not all, of course, but many of the big names I easily recognized.

[alchemenace]

I've familiarized myself with them when the library opened, but I'd never heard of any of these before that. [ a beat. ] Well. Except for the obvious.

[ rapunzel's corpse looms ]

[doublecrows]

[. . . if he doesn't say their name they don't have to acknowledge the elephant in the room]

And I imagine that story differed wildly from the one in these books.

[alchemenace]

[ he just ... nods ]

By a lot? The book version was kind of... intense.

[ why did she get pregnant. ]

[doublecrows]

[WHY DID SHE GET PREGNANT]

I don't think you have to worry about it much beyond the context of this war game.

[alchemenace]

I'm less worried about why this particular fairy tale was like that and more about why... all of them... are.

[ unsure. ]

[doublecrows]

[lol]

Fairy tales aren't exactly known for being perfectly pleasant. At least, the original ones aren't.

[alchemenace]

That ... would be the part that concerns me. Yes.

[ we're in those fairy tales, asketchi!!! ]
