CHAPTER 7 ; MINGLE

[themodsgrimm]

The Story Continues... CHAPTER 7 - WEEK 715 Narrators Remain ; Just before Narrators awake, those who are still attached to partners will dream of the two of them together – and then the sudden snap of a red string that connects the two of them. Once they awake, they’ll find the entire section of the rulebook pertaining to Partners has disappeared entirely. Apparently the time for partnerships is over. In addition, the castle has begun to empty out. Perhaps Narrators will notice it now especially on this morning, as their footsteps echo and the halls lack the familiar faces they’ve come to know. Upon entering the dining hall, the tapestries of Evan Hansen, Lord El-Melloi II, Natsuo, Fon Master Ion, Fane, Varian, and Zelos Wilder will all catch flame and disappear as the fire engulfs them entirely, leaving nothing behind. Yet one oddity seems to have enchanted the castle this week – there are the sounds of running footsteps and the familiar laughter of those who have departed. Should you choose to follow this noise, you’ll be led to the Puppet Room. The door will shut behind you – you’ll catch be movement out of the corner of your eye. Yet instead of a puppet entering the stage and re-enacting a dramatic scene, it will just suddenly appear… closer to you. It lingers there, and makes no other move. Welcome to Week 7, everyone! We would also like to remind players to submit all of their Chapter 6 PCs and new PCs at the Private Conversations page and review the weekly ooc notes for important details in the castle. Something odd will be arriving on Wednesday, July 25th so keep your eyes peeled for that as well. full navigation. locations taken (statuses) stories (profiles) info & faq wishing well private conversations

monday, the menagerie:

[After the absolute horror show of the past few days, it's... probably no surprise that Veronica has decided to subject herself to animal therapy. That is, she's currently laying down on the ground, letting the tiger cubs walk all over her. Should anyone approach, she'll turn her head to look at them.]

... Whatever you're going to say, save it.

[Just let her sink into despair in peace.]

tuesday, puppet room:

[Anyone who passes by the puppet room on Tuesday afternoon will suddenly hear a loud, shrill scream. Should they decide to investigate... They'll find Veronica inside the room, with one of the puppets next to her.

... It looks like she just got startled.]

wildcard:

[Remix one of the above scenarios or come up with your own!]

menagerie

[axilium]

[veronica...]

... I was just about to say that you look like you're living your best life?

[asswipe]

[... squints at him.]

Are you really sure it's my best life.

[She's still recovering from knowing two of her friends are now Kentucky Fried Chicken levels of crispy, wow. ]

[axilium]

I was being facetious.

[asswipe]

Great. Are you going keep being facetious or are you going to join me and my [uh] thirty-seven cats?

[axilium]

[that is a lot of cats.

but you know what, he's going to lie down on the ground too, so that's a yes.]

[asswipe]

[... Yeah.

She's going to start laughing when she sees he actually went for it. Oh my god.]

menagerie

[nivation]

[ Veronica is a mood. Kyouka crouches and stares at Veronica being walked over, tilts her head one way, then the other. ]

I want to do the same.

[ It looks fun(?). ]

[asswipe]

[... She pauses.

And then pats the ground next to her.]

Come on, then. Lay down. It feels great.

[nivation]

[ Kyouka lies down and doesn't make a sound as multiple tigers walk over her or when one starts kneading against her. ]

Can we stay out here until tomorrow?

[asswipe]

God, I wish.

[tiger cubs are better company than people, confirmed.]

[nivation]

Let's try.

[ Skip the castle and everyone else. Just become one with the menagerie. ]

puppet hell

[sanguinairy]

[The Wheezy Wonder hears that scream and BOY IS HE IMMEDIATELY JUST FUCKIN YEETING HIMSELF THROUGH THE DOOR. Like a full shouldered slam that leaves him coughing but it's fine.]

Veronica—?!

[BODIES??? Oh, no, nope, no bodies. No attackers. Just puppets being cursed, hm.]

[asswipe]

[WHEEZY YEET, PLEASE LOVE YOURSELF.

If Veronica was startled before, she's more startled now that Souji full shouldered slammed the door open. She takes a step back and bumps into the, uh, dead person person puppet standing next to her.]

—Souji?! [JESUS.] You scared the shit out of me, oh my god!

[Says Veronica, seconds after screaming for an entirely other reason.]

[sanguinairy]

[SORRY FOR THE HEART ATTACK FRIEND. Once registering that there's no danger to be had here, he'll just... regain some of his chill.]

I heard you screaming, so... [HE PANICKED.] --I'm sorry. Are you alright?

[He's eying that deadass puppet though, assuming that's the source of her problems. It's always the puppets in this room, except when it's the bodies.]

tuesday

[vigilantics]

[ listen. there are a few people steph is now on high alert regarding to, and veronica is definitely one of them. so when she sees her in the room and then sees... nothing else really happening, she lets out a sigh of relief.

okay. good. she's still okay. ]

What happened?

[asswipe]

[Look, listen. :/ Let her die!!]

... N— Nothing. Nothing happened, sorry.

[Said while looking at Steph and. Pointedly not looking at the creepy ass dead person puppet standing next to her. It may or may not be Varian's depending on how awful the castle is feeling today.]

[vigilantics]

[ she glances in that direction but very quickly looks away. steph realizes that any puppet that freaked veronica out enough would probably do the same to her. ]

Let's... get out of here.

[asswipe]

... That's... a good idea. Let's do that.

[the puppets just wanted to be friendly. it's fine.]

[vigilantics]

[ TIME TO BOUNCE. ]
