( MINGLE - WEEK 2 )

[abhoth]

SURVIVORS: 40 The sun is shining, the air conditioner units hum as they always do, and a gentle morning breeze blows against the windows. The scent of pine cones and evergreen follow you wherever you go in the motel, save for the parking lot and outdoor pool. It seems like someone was very generous with the detergent while moping the floors. The two grandfather clocks (one on each floor) will ring with each passing hour, indicating the time of day without fail. With this knowledge — they'll note the motel will continue to be surrounded by fog until 8:00 AM on the dot. It is at that hour that the fog will begin to recede. Not enough to reveal the whole city, but enough to allow residents to explore some of the buildings surrounding the motel. And speaking of the motel, it seems like the Storage room has unlocked itself overnight. How quaint. Welcome to Week 2's mingle, everyone! As of this week, we are now accepting murder proposals. If you're interested in having your character murder someone this week, please send in your proposal before Tuesday, 9:00 PM EST. We'll be contacting you on plurk over the week to finalize the details, or ask for rescheduling if necessary. As always, feel free to PM us or send us a PP over plurk if you have any questions!

CRAFTLY

[abhoth]

[This week, Craftly can be found manning the Lobby's front desk.]

[perceptions]

[Monday morning, Mira goes to the front desk to write down the names of the people on the bulletin board. When she finishes she turns to Craftly.]

Hey quick question - am I allowed to hang up something in the lobby with your permission? Like a sign?

[abhoth]

[ He looks up from his paperwork. What paperwork is here in Lovecraft time? A LOT, THAT'S WHAT. ]

Of course, so long as it is not obscene or lewd. This is a family-friendly establishment.

[perceptions]

When you say "obscene" you mean so long as it's not R-Rated, right? No nudity or cursing, that stuff?

[abhoth]

Absolutely, miss. What — dare I ask what you have in mind...?

[perceptions]

A list. [Grins.] I'll include you on it, since you're letting me hang it up!

[abhoth]

[ UNSURE UNSURE UNSURE ]

I'm... honored. I look forward to your extravagant display. I think.

[perceptions]

Thanks again!

[wristbands]

[mid-week, chie comes to the front desk with a request card for a one-piece swimsuit and sports drinks, and a rating card, as instructed. there are bags under her eyes, but at this point, who doesn't have them?]

Is there a specific place I'm supposed to turn this in?

[abhoth]

Ah yes! We will be at the front desk to offer fulfillment. You only need to provide your request and rating card and we estimate your items should arrive to your room within the next day.

[ HE SMILES GRIMLY AND TAKES IT. But, please feel out a card officially! ]

Oh... miss, do you require an extra soft pillow as well? You look dreadful.

[wristbands]

I wonder why.

[she says, though it comes out as more of a disgruntled sigh. she has some other choice words for him, but... she'll hold them in for now. instead:]

What were those... things that took us to the lake?

[abhoth]

Oh? They're our graveyard staff. They have very particular hours.

[ the graveyard shift, get it. ]

You should not worry, miss, they will not harm you or anyone else here. They merely have a role as well.

[wristbands]

You always tell us not to worry—how are we not supposed to worry with everything else going on here?

tuesday

[fauxtetsu]

Craftly...

[ If looks could kill, there would be the Innsmouth takoyaki special tonight. ]

What happened to Jake and Andersen?

[abhoth]

Ah. Hello.

[ He looks up from over his newspaper. However, his brow perks upwards. ]

Something happened to them? I was not notified of a murder occurring... Tell me, sir, have you found their bodies?

[fauxtetsu]

No I haven't, I hope I don't, so I came to see you. Their roommates haven't seen them, but both aren't the type to scare people by vanishing.

[ He furrows his brow. ]

Do the statuses of guests really only matter to you when they're murdered corpses?

[abhoth]

Don't be so rude. [ HE'S A BUSY MAN. ] It seems as those two may have gotten involved with some of the ongoings of the city. We at the Innsmouth Motel are not responsible for any no-good that may occur outside of our motel grounds.

[fauxtetsu]

[ Deep breath. He's upset but it's not doing him any favors. ]

Fine, my apologies. If you know that much, thank you for telling me.

[ ... ]

Ongoings, huh? This city is rather quiet for that.

[abhoth]

Oh, dear. You all truly believe that? In the shadows and the still of it all - you would be terrified to see what this city has to offer...

Pre Jake and Andersen's Excellent Adventure

[pinesforyou]

Hey, hey, can Dipper and I throw a birthday party? I promise I'll invite you!

[abhoth]

... If you find it in your best interest to focus your time to that, you're free to do so.

[pinesforyou]

Sweet! Where's the best place for partying? Get me a venue!

Post Jake and Andersen's Excellent Adventure

[pinesforyou]

[Mabel comes running up to him with handmade "Missing Child" posters of Jake and Andersen.]

[They say, If Found, Please Return To Mabel, Or Anyone Else That's Not a Creepy Murderer]

Hey, hey! Craftly! Where can I stick these?! Help me put them up!

[abhoth]

Miss, I'm required to stay here at the front desk. Perhaps placing them in a common area such as the lounge or dining hall would do best?

[pinesforyou]

Can't you stretch out your tentacles or get the other guys to help? I already postered those places!
