CHAPTER 7 ; MINGLE
CHAPTER 7 - WEEK 7 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.

Don’t look— [ At him, at this mess he’s coughed up, at how weak he is. There’s only one cut on his body, a shallow thing on his neck Akechi already knows about. Otherwise, it’s just bruising from how delicate this pathetic body is, too dark for what impact it really had, standing out against impossibly pale skin.
Still, he reaches to clutch at Goro, even if he doesn’t look up, and that’s the most he can manage between genuinely wheezing. ]

[. . . he frowns. for as big of a commotion as his entrance was, Eichi seems relatively okay? he places a hand against the cut on his neck, a warm glow engulfing it to heal that injury. next comes the bruises, which vanish underneath his touch as well]
[he definitely doesn't have much time left, and although he stays next to Eichi, he does glance up to assess Souji's condition as well]
no subject
[Wheeze, wheeze. What he really needs is an oxygen tank, alas. Akechi can probably tell from this close that Eichi's heart is beating too fast, too hard. He's overheated, somehow, trembling, and his lungs aren't getting enough air.
Not too much that Akechi can help with aside from trying to calm him.]
Souji-san? I'm sorry, where—
no subject
What am I supposed to do with you when you're like this. . .?
[calm down partner!!]
no subject
You can stay. I’d like it if you’d stay... [ Don’t leave, it’s pleading even if he tries to word it better. ] The others didn’t make it through, did they? This ink...
[ :( ]
no subject
[his other hand comes up to cradle Eichi's other cheek as well. it's weirdly gentle, compared to how demanding and forceful and rough he usually is]
I'll stay. You can tell me all about what you saw, after you rest.
no subject
[Normally, he'd have a lot to say about how he wished they could have been together, or how he wanted to see a small Akechi, or so on and so on, but there's too much that's happened. He's relieved Akechi didn't see him like he was, and... he'll try to work up to talking about it, but he's not sure how that will go either. So, he'll silently stay here and wait until he can walk.
And, apparently, carry his new swan bf back to their room. It's fine.]
