♛ Event ♛ - Shakin' in Your Boots
Despite the new residents running around, the castle has never seemed emptier. Half the class is dead, and at every mealtime the sight of the empty chairs at the long table just drives that home. The fact that for two days now, at least, you have all had some time to recover from the trial and the most recent losses is hardly any comfort. Ten dead classmates, with more to follow, no doubt. Still, at least until the next motive announcement, you can feel some form of relief… enjoy the peace while it lasts. Or so you think.
Just as you’re all sitting down for lunch, the room suddenly begins to shake. The water in the glasses and decanters ripples, the suits of armor in the Great Hall rattle, you can hear Nasha howling in confusion, the twins growling somewhere in the distance, an alarmed bark from the kitchen. The floor is roiling like a stormy ocean sea- could this be an earthquake!?
Suddenly Monoduck rushes in as fast as his little webbed feet can carry him, gesturing anxiously with his tiny wings.
“Cygnets! Please follow me to the Throne Room! That’s the safest place in the castle! Please head there and stay put until I can figure out what’s going on…!”
All of you have little choice but to follow him, and his advice, and head for the Throne Room, where hopefully you will be able to wait out… whatever this is.
