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

[ Well. Hello. Can she just shake his shoulder? ]

[concasse]

[She can! And Sanji will answer with a tired muffle, looking over his shoulder]

Cardia-chan...?

[discardia]

I don't really think this is the best place to sleep.

[concasse]

Yeah... probably right. Sorry.

[Oof his back? Straightening is a painful exercise in cracking his spine back into place.]

Did you need to write any letters?

[discardia]

No. I was just wanting to check on you, but you weren't in the kitchen.

[ AMAZING. ]

[concasse]

[I'M CRYING]

-- oh.

[now he just feels bad]

Sorry. I, uh... fell asleep in there yesterday.

[SANJI THAT DOES NOT HELP]

[discardia]

...

Why haven't you been sleeping in actual places with a bed?

[concasse]

H-hehe, well... y'know!

The fire dorm is pretty large with just myself in there...

[discardia]

Then you can sleep in our room.

[ okay then. ]

[concasse]

[... That moment when you are both elated and too sad to be elated.

Sanji's personal hell]

Aaaaaah, such a beacon of light Cardia-chwan is during these dull times~!

[...]

But I can promise you that's not really gonna work either.

[discardia]

... So you can only sleep if it's somewhere with no beds?

[ Sanji, what. ]

[concasse]

No...

It's not the beds.

Just the person whose... missing...

[discardia]

[ ... ah. ]

You can't sleep without Zelos?

[concasse]

[Internal screaming.

Honestly Sanji doesn't even answer so much as make panicked noises]

[discardia]

[ Wow. He seems really panicked.

But rather than correct herself, Cardia will just patiently wait for him to man up and calm down. ]

[concasse]

[honestly bless her soul for thinking Sanji is capable of ever calming down.

You saw his sorry ass with the mermaids, Cardia.

But eventually he will whimper out in a whisper:]

He's gonna get a big head if ever sees this...

[discardia]

It's all right.

[ with a gentle shoulder clasp, no less. ]

Maybe he won't. But if he does, it might make him happy.
