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

[unfortunately for us both there is no sweet death, only shirasu hurrying over when he notices souji teetering backward... he isn't much of a dashing hero, but shirasu does catch him, peering down at souji with his brow furrowed in concern.]

--perhaps you should be a little more cautious, up there.

[sanguinairy]

[He isn't a dashing hero but at least he's unfairly pretty, that's gotta count for something??

Anyway, give him a second to actually regain his sense of surroundings, since his focus is scrambled in that "whoops sure did almost pass out" way. HE'S DOING JUST FINE OVER HERE.]

Ah... thank you. [For saving everyone from finding a body so early because he cracked his noggin on the ground or something.] I wasn't feeling unwell, so I figured it would be fine.

[CLEARLY NOT. Also when is he ever actually feeling "not unwell".]

[wagashis]

These things can sneak up on you, can't they-- it may be better to avoid that for a bit.

[yeah he's pretty sure souji is always unwell and that sounds fake?

so that's why shirasu isn't putting him down, carrying him away from the ladder instead. no more of that, fainting yeet.]

[sanguinairy]

[FAINTING YEETS GONNA KEEP ON YEETING TIL THEY FAINT??

In any case, if it wasn't already obvious that Souji is chaotic chaotic aligned, he looks a little surprised by the fact that he's being carried away from the ladder... as if he was, like. Preparing to just climb right back up it as soon as he was set down or something, wow.]

--I'll feel better in just a few moments, though.

[Will he. Will he.]

[wagashis]

It's still best to take it easy first, just to be sure. Let's see... should we get you some water first? Or tea?

[shirasu is going to personally enforce this break from the ladder, okay. he is removing souji from the library.]

[sanguinairy]

[NO, HIS LADDER... HIS LIBRARY!! This is the second time in days he's been carried out of the library, why is this is life now.

That said, with a last brief backward glance at his abandoned shelf, he'll just apparently resign himself to this fate. At least he's like, the least fussy person in the world to carry. Very light, and he settles neatly into Shirasu's arms like he's Long Since Accepted that people are just going to carry him around like sick potatoes.]

Just water is fine. Thank you...

[wagashis]

There's no need for that. I'd like to think anyone else would do the same, wouldn't they...?

[shirasu's gotten a bit used to carrying, already, so it's even easier to cart around this sick potato. at least he accepts his fate.

onward to the kitchen they go!]

Were you doing a little more research?

[sanguinairy]

[HE JUST wheezylaughs at that, rather than give a direct verbal reply. This is fine, the sick potato is fine. He's also very politely keeping his face turned away from Shirasu and covering his mouth into the crook of his arm for the occasional little volleys of coughs that tickle his lungs. No TB for Shirasu...]

I suppose so... It's more like I'm just looking to see if we've missed-- anything, really.

[wagashis]

[thanks for not contaminating him he appreciates it...

but that answer makes his smile fade slightly, expression a little more contemplative with that thought.]

I think we would have found it by now, if there were... but it's always worth the attempt. Has anything come up?

[sanguinairy]

[yeah he's doing his best here to keep murdercastle from becoming tuberculosis castle.]

Most likely, but still... [This Man Is Desperate. Not as outwardly desperate as some people among their survivor pool, sure, but still kinda desperate.

Anyway, his answer probably isn't surprising; he just shakes his head.]

Nothing, yet.
