CHAPTER 6 ; MINGLE

[themodsgrimm]

The Story Continues... CHAPTER 622 Narrators Remain ; Feels a bit… gloomy, doesn’t it? There are no rumbles to wake Narrators this week. Rather, they are left to rise as they please. The castle has not expanded, there are no new changes, rather they are left exactly with everything that they have been given – like there are no new distractions for them to pull their attention away from their own mistakes of days gone by. As they enter the dining hall, the fire that eats away at Abe no Sousei, Jae-ha, Osamu Dazai, and Reyna Ramírez-Arellano's tapestries must serve as an unfortunate reminder. How unpleasant. At the very least, the rain has stopped. So that’s one thing to look forward to. Yet it doesn’t entirely feel as though they’re… alone. Out of the corner of their eye, they might see the faint glow of a candle in the distance, or a floating fire. Should they try to follow the mirage, they’ll likely be led to another room of the castle without a single disturbance, a dead end. Except – the next time they look in the mirror, they’ll find the face of one of the dead Narrators staring back at them. Blink and then they’re gone. Partners might find this week’s effect to be a bit… inconvenient. At random points in the week, they’ll suddenly feel compelled to be honest with each other. Secrets can still remain, but communication is key in a situation like this, wouldn’t you say? Try a bit of truth – see where it gets you. Hopefully nowhere unfortunate. Welcome to Week 6, 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 5 PCs and new PCs at the Private Conversations page and review the weekly ooc notes for important details in the castle. Something curious will be arriving on Wednesday, July 18th so keep your eyes peeled for that as well. full navigation. locations taken (statuses) stories (profiles) info & faq wishing well private conversations

[ he has to hide a bit of a giggle, folding it into the palm of his hand. ]

I suppose that does explain it. I had thought that Natsuo may have simply turned out to be surprisingly talented, but that was your handiwork in the end, wasn't it?

[concasse]

... Natsuo.

...

He tried his best.

[SHAKING HIS HEAD.]

His food isn't poison like Shirasu's -- [WOW SANJI JUST THROWING ALL THE TEA TODAY] -- but you'll be feeling it for a couple of days

[fonlines]

His best was adequate, I thought...?

[ but then again he served Ion parfaits and those are his favorites though so.

still, Shirasu though- Ion's smile twists mildly wry. ]

Ah, I suppose I was allowing myself to be too generous then, in assuming it might have been something... unique, to where Shirasu comes from.

[concasse]

He tried to make me soup and it... ah.

[How to explain this]

I got a policy that I don't waste food, especially if it's given to me as a favor, but I ... struggled with that one.

[STILL ATE ALL OF IT. But this is how Sanji knows a stomach ache is in the cards for anyone who eats Natsuo's food without supervision]

No, don't bother being generous, Shirasu can't cook worth a shit and I need to ban him from the kitchen before he accidentally poisons someone.

[fonlines]

I... see...

[ well, now he's incredibly relieved that that Thursday morning didn't end poorly. ]

Well, I wish you the best of luck with that endeavour. I don't think he's quite aware of his level of skill. [ or. the lack thereof. ]

[concasse]

Tch, you're telling me.

I think his stomach and tongue are made of steel, too. Pretty damn impressive. I wish I had that.

[fonlines]

... Do you suppose he would be partially immune to poisons if someone tried such?

It seems as if it would be quite the mixed blessing. To have no sense of taste, but be so resilient... I'm not sure if it is something to envy.
