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

[ hey who else is coming out a door? in a bubble? that breaks and drops them on the floor unceremoniously? is it... a couple of idiots? maybe.

magnus is maybe the least scathed of everyone, but his arm is bent at an almost unnatural angle. which is fine, he's at least not bleeding everywhere like Some people! he's even conscious!

enough to curse, anyway. ] - Fuck, the ocean, I hate - Somone make sure Sousei isn't dead. [ now he'll just go back to coughing from water inhaling. ]

[disilluded]

[Yeah Sousei is like, literally unconscious, so for once in his life he doesn't say or do anything stupid, he's just flopped on the ground, one pant leg very, very bloody, and otherwise passed out.

Nice! Hi guys!]

[concasse]

[UM WHAT THE FUCK

SOUSEI IT WASN'T A COMPETITION

YOU WENT TOO HARD]

The hell happened to you two?!

[Sanji says, bloodied and covered in cuts and bites]

[wearys]

[ well since sousei can't come to the phone right now, ]

I think we fucked up. Also, eels. And Ursula from the Little Mermaid, maybe-- uh, like the movie, I mean.

[ glances over, squints. ]

What about you two?

[concasse]

... The fuck is Ursula?

[??? Someone please explain]

And I dunno, we saved some poor, unfortunate souls, I guess.

Almost got eaten by mermaids.

[wearys]

[ ursula > poor, unfortunate souls > mermaids. honestly magnus can't help but let out a wheezy laugh. ]

An octopus woman, or whatever, in a movie. Though this one was uh, larger and like 80 times more terrifying.

Oh, yeah, we didn't save anything. [ they didn't even save themselves. ] Someone mermaid-like might have saved us?

[concasse]

... Shit, so you two almost got killed?

[Like, at least Cardia and himself got something good out of this.

Sanji looks on with even more concern now]

[alttitude]

[it's what he deserves

anyway this is uhhhhhh bad? Jae-ha was worried about Cardia and Sanji, absolutely, but at least they were. Conscious? Yeah. Now there's someone telling him to make sure that his partner isn't dead and he's not going to be the calmest]

Your arm? You get help too.

[but at least magnus is like?? awake??

MEANWHILE SOUSEI. THIS FOOL. Jae-ha's going to listen for a heartbeat first but since he's only passed out - ]

He's breathing - what happened to him?

[one perk of sousei being passed out at the moment: he can't complain when jae-ha princess carries him]

[wearys]

It's fine, just-- uh. Maybe broken a little, maybe.

[ clearly not important. ]

Squeezed to unconsciousness by a giant tentacle monster. After getting dragged around by an eel. It wasn't great.

[alttitude]

[ . . . for fuck's sake - ]

And... what happened to you?

[sanguinairy]

[HEY MAN WHAT THE FCK

That's a bad-looking arm there Magnus but also, Sousei's unconscious, yeah. PROBLEM!!]

--Does he need a tourniquet?

[HIS LEG IS BLEEDING A LOT. Souji's already unwinding a new strip of cloth.]

[disilluded]

[his leg is also broken so pls be careful.

thanks.

it's like it got CHOMPED by something with very large teeth and very strong jaws.]

[sanguinairy]

[when sousei does anything he just goes hard as hell doesn't he, wow.

ANYWAY JAE-HA'S PRINCESS CARRYING HIM so he'll probably be........ fine. Souji will do him a favor and (carefully) tourniquet his leg above wherever the biggest bite appears to be though, so he won't lose all his precious blood before they can figure out how to help his ass.]

[wearys]

Yeah, I think so. Good idea.

[ maybe don't let sousei bleed to death. ]

[sanguinairy]

Mm, alright.

[A little nod! SOUSEI WON'T BLEED TO DEATH ON THEIR WATCH... That said--]

Your arm needs to be set, too, I think.

[He... is not a doctor.]
