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.

[Reyna shrugs.]

I'm not sure it's a good thing, but... it is what it is.

I don't know either. You don't seem to be taking it that poorly.

[Another shrug!]

I can't say it's entirely unexpected, given what people have been theorizing about what causes a tapestry to drip ink. It's something of a relief - if mine wasn't, we'd have to start from square one with those theories.

[she says, casually]

The leading theory is the tapestries that drip ink are the ones who've killed before, right?

... Are you... okay? [Because she really doesn't look that old and it seems like something that would take a toll.]

[personal profile] toughchoices 2018-07-12 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
That's correct.

[So, uh. Yeah. That's a thing.] ...I'm fine. Why do you ask?

[personal profile] disclosures 2018-07-12 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
I hear killing generally isn't like... great for the psyche? Did you have a therapist, or a counselor, or something?
toughchoices: (096)

[personal profile] toughchoices 2018-07-12 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
My mother is the goddess of war. It's less damaging to me than it is to others.

[so, uh, no counselor.]

...it's fine. For people like me - it's kill or be killed. You get used to it pretty fast.

If you say so. Um. I'm not really a great therapist type- but maybe you should talk to somebody.

Even if you are kind of... made for it. [Wow, she hates this castle so much.]

[personal profile] toughchoices 2018-07-12 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[yeah, this castle. uh. sucks.]

Thank you for your ... concern. [is it concern? reyna's not exactly sure. she's not used to people worrying about her. this is weird.] But really, I'm all right.

...I'm more worried about the people whose tapestries don't bleed ink - they're the ones who must be struggling most with everything here.
disclosures: (4)

[personal profile] disclosures 2018-07-12 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[No argument on her end.

It is concern the way that an adult should be concerned about any teenager who's killed before.]


Your partner was one of the ones who didn't bleed, right?
