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

[selfinserting]

No, there isn't, but - I'm not old enough, so...

[He slides it away from her, then, putting it behind him on the counter.]

[disclosures]

Good, good. Try not to make too many mistakes that you can't get out of when you're growing up. I mean, you have plenty of time to recover from most things, but don't get involved with hard drugs.

[selfinserting]

I wasn't, wasn't exactly planning on it...?

[disclosures]

Good! Keep making good decisions. Like not doing drugs.

[selfinserting]

There aren't really any drugs here...? But, um, you too. T-Thanks.

[disclosures]

You could definitely wish them-- don't do that. I know I said it but don't do that. If you have to wish for any kind of drug go with like... pot? It'll just make you drowsy and hungry.

Unless you're allergic to it.

[selfinserting]

I'm, I'm not going to wish for any drugs! Don't, don't worry about that. Or alcohol. Or - anything. I'm not going to do anything like that.

[disclosures]

Wishing for alcohol would be a waste anyway when you can just get it here.

[selfinserting]

I still wouldn't do it even if this, this weren't here...

[disclosures]

What a good kid.

Anyway, if you ever did want to drink make sure you have adult supervision... that isn't, you know, drunk.

[selfinserting]

I've, um, I've only done it once, and... I didn't like how it made me feel, so. I, I probably won't do it again.

[disclosures]

When did you drink? Was it after a disaster? That's always the worst time.

[selfinserting]

It was, um... After the last execution.

[So, disaster sums it up pretty well.]

[disclosures]

Don't drink when you're negatively emotional it'll turn it into a crutch.

[Says the person who's drinking while stewing in negative emotions... on the other hand she's almost always stewing in them.]

[selfinserting]

I-I won't, I promise. I, I wouldn't have done it then if someone hadn't, um, offered it to me.

[A small shrug.]

[disclosures]

[She narrows her eyes at him.]

Was it Dazai?

[selfinserting]

[He shakes his head.]

No. I don't think he'd do something like that.

[disclosures]

Yeah I hear he shared a library with an alcoholic. He probably doesn't want to share a room with one.

[selfinserting]

...That's not the reason, but - that would, would have made sense.

[disclosures]

Oh, what was the reason?

[selfinserting]

Because, um, he's a good person who cares about me and doesn't want me to develop bad habits that might hurt me later...?

[disclosures]

Good. Good. I'm glad he's been a good partner to you. He's older so it's important that he's a good role model- though don't model him too much, probably.

[selfinserting]

[He nods.]

It's... nice. I've never, um, had something like that before, so...
