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

[oookay, after assessing Eichi, Akechi. . . pops to his feet and trots towards Souji]

What did you two do?

[he sounds scolding, AS THOUGH HE IS ONE TO TALK, and extends a hand]

I can take care of these wounds for you. Would you like for me to?

[sanguinairy]

[YEAH HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE SCOLDED BY AKECHI OF ALL PEOPLE!! Even if he reflexively seems to look a little guilty, like he's just used to That Tone.]

We-- [WHEEZE] ...ran into a little trouble, but things turned out fine.

[He's sure Eichi will want to explain all of the horrific details away from the ears of everyone else, if he wants anyone to hear it at all. BAD TIMES WERE HAD. In any case, he looks briefly surprised by the offer and seems to consider for a second. Fortunately, he uses his .5 weekly common sense point allotment to nod.]

--If it wouldn't be too much trouble.

[His outer wounds are all pretty manageable, at least. None of the scratches are that deep, and the bruises are sized like a small fist, even if they're like. All over the place.]

[doublecrows]

[a quick glance at the object in Souji's hands confirms a hypothesis for Akechi]

You must have been at the carnival as well.

[looks like there were Narrators on that other boat after all. . . meanwhile, outer wounds are something Akechi can handle!1 with permission given, he lays a hand against Souji's bruises and scratches. they, too, vanish in a glow of light. that should make hims mildly more bearable!1]

[he can't do much about Souji coughing up blood, though. that's beyond his power to fix]

[sanguinairy]

[Bless Akechi and his magic healing that came out of nowhere, god. Souji can at least rest without rolling all over onto bruises now!! His only pain is the eternal pain of TB Lungs™. Akechi will get a soft thank you for his help, before Souji's attention shifts.]

You were there, too? Then - the children...

[Akechi probably saw the same kinds of real spooky shit they had ended up seeing. Hm, bad. Bad times for all.]

--Are you alright?

[doublecrows]

I--

[doublecrows]

[can't answer that question. because as soon as he's done healing Souji. . .]






[he poofs into a swan]

[axilium]

[belph bursts into laughter.

i'm sorry.]

[doublecrows]

[HATRED]

[sanguinairy]

[While Belph is over there being a MENACE, Souji is just looking startled.]

—Akechi?!

[SWAN.]

[doublecrows]

[SWAN]

[do swans honk or is that just geese. anyway he can't talk, he just. flaps his wings. s. . . swan]

[he sure is a swan]

[sanguinairy]

[HE SURE IS A SWAN?? Souji's just sitting here staring at him like why is this happening.]

Are... are you alright...?

[doublecrows]

[why does anything happen anymore, Souji]

[but okay yes or no questions he can do. he's just gonna bob his head up and down in a "yes" gesture. he's fine. kind of]

[disclosures]

[. . .]

What the fuck?

[doublecrows]

[mood]

[disclosures]

... I guess this isn't as bad as some of the other things but... How long are you going to be a swan?

[doublecrows]

[HE CAN'T ANSWER THAT REBECCA]

[HE IS]

[A SWAN]

[if swans could give people flat looks that's exactly what this swan would be doing]

[vigilantics]

[ she's also laughing im not sorry ]

[doublecrows]

[EXTRA HATRED]

[fonlines]

[ ion's also present and he




okay no he can't help it, he's laughing silently just a bit into a hand even if he is trying to stifle it ]

[doublecrows]

[why is he the castle's resident buttmonkey]

[fonlines]

[ listen, detective, on a day with many bodies you failed to find any of them outside of like, a fire striker

granted you were responsible for one of them, but the others? ]

[concasse]

[YIKES]

-- You're turning back into a human at some point.

Right?

1/2

[doublecrows]

[bobs his head "no"]

[doublecrows]

[and then amends this by bobbing his head "yes."]

[if swans could roll their eyes he totally would]

[concasse]

I will marinate your ass in butter and stick you in an oven, shithead.

[DO NOT SASS HIM, CHILD]
