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

[concasse]

... I mean.

Almost managed that first one.

[Listen.

He's tired.]

[holybind]

Huh, maybe I should just finish the job myself. There's certainly enough blood here for me to drown you in it.

[ ZELOS YOUR YAN ]

What part of 'tell me before you run off and get yourself maimed' do you not understand? Is it the 'before'? Is it the 'maimed'?

[concasse]

Oi, why do you think I got a choice in this?!

A bubble kidnapped me and I had to explore a haunted-ass ghost ship to get back!

[holybind]

[ he raises an eyebrow. ]

You, me, lunchbox, maze, MINOTAUR. Ring any bells?

[concasse]

[...

He's just gonna sit here pouting while bleeding half of his blood supply on the floor]

Of course you'd bring that up...

[holybind]

[ Zelos frowns, he has to physically restrain himself from actually kicking Sanji while he's down in the most literal sense. ]

Of course I would, you idiot. I told you to be careful—

[ he knows he's just nagging at this point and that it's useless. He stops himself mid-sentence with a dissatisfied groan. ]

— ugh, just. Just get patched up and don't try anything else. I'm keeping you under dorm arrest for the rest of the week.

[concasse]

[Jesus wept, you yan angel.

Also staring at Zelos.

...

...

............]

I still get to cook, right?

[holybind]

[ God can't help you here, Sanji ]

Don't piss me off anymore and we'll see about it.

[concasse]

-- That's a tall order and you know it.

[holybind]

[ Zelos just

crouches down to Sanji's level

and pats his cheek.

The smile on his face is as facetious as it gets. ]

Well, you'll just have to find a way to live up to my expectations— won't you, darling?

1/2

[concasse]

I'm not a darling, you shitty--!

[concasse]

[... Nnngh.

Gently crouching into the fetal position.

He got dizzy from yelling.]

[holybind]

Jeez..

[ Zelos makes it a point to look unimpressed, face resting on his palm.

(Secretly, he's worried) ]

Don't tell me I'm going to have to carry you.

[concasse]

Like hell!

I can walk just fine!

[... He's not gonna walk just yet but rest assured, he will crawl to his bedroom if necessary]

[holybind]

[ Yeah you know what? He's just gonna scoop Sanji right up, grunting a bit as he stands up.

He's absolutely bridal style carrying Sanji right now. ]

Shut up, will you?

[concasse]

[... No he.

Shuts up.

... Good going, Zelos, he's frozen from shock.

Enjoy the 5 seconds of silence until Sanji detonates]

[holybind]

[ Blinks slowly ]

Look alive, princess.

[ He gives Sanji a nice ol' shake ]

[concasse]

-- PUT ME DOWN BEFORE I CHOKE YOU WITH YOUR OWN HAIR, YOU SHITTY ANGEL--






[Oh he's fine.]

[holybind]

What's the magic word, darling.

[ Zelos jostles Sanji just a little. He's not bleeding that much, right? It's fine. ]

[concasse]

[Sanji wants a divorce, call the priest]

Fuck off!

[Tugging on Zelos' hair??? HE WARNED HIM]
