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.

[ it was a trap and he fell for it :( ]

Oh. Haha. Um. ... Technically I think Fane and Lord El-Melloi could too?

[ perfect recovery. ]

There's no way Lord El-Melloi would be willing to help with something like that. He'd call it a waste of time. Have you seen him? He's so grumpy.

... Not that I blame him.

Well, you said it. Murder castle. Most people here are pretty grumpy. [ ... ] But yeah, um, I guess he's not really the ... request taking kind.

I don't know about Fane. Maybe? It depends on how interesting the request is, maybe? I haven't talked to him that much.

[ there's a long pause as varian tries to think of how to delicately put this-- ]

Fane really would not make a love potion. Ever.

Did you get to talk to him a lot?

Um. Yes? We're partners.

... What's that like?

[Guess who doesn't pay any attention to other people: it's her.]

[ Rebecca plz. Varian just looks baffled ]

It's... fine? He's nice.

Really? He seems sort or like... not that.

I mean, he's definitely blunt and kind of... tactless, but that doesn't make him mean. There's just a lot of cultural differences, that's all.

I guess that's fair enough. He's an Eternal, right? I still don't really know what that means. Do you?

Sort of. The, the short of it is that his people can't die the same way humans can? And their appearance varied a lot more than ours. It's, it's pretty fascinating actually, considering the skeletal shape is practically the same as ours, but it has something to do with their life force.

I heard a little about that too. He was like, imprisoned for a really long time? But he didn't die.

Well there's lots of worlds out there, I guess that makes things less weird? More weird? I don't know.
