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

[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?

[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]

[sanguinairy]

[i love that this has just become a congaline of people laughing at swan akechi EXCEPT FOR SOUJI WHO JUST LOOKS TIRED.]

Is this a side-effect...?
