( MINGLE - WEEK 2 )
 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! ic rulebook | locations | statuses | room assignments private conversations | ic profiles | graveyard | full navigation |

...Velvet-san? You're cleaning up too?
[This is more surprising to her than it should be.]
no subject
[She is scrubbing very hard, but despite the work involved, she seems to be somewhat enjoying herself. Either way, she's decidedly calmer than she was during the trial.]
I can't drink, but I imagine it's not so pleasant smelling dried blood while you're drinking.
no subject
[Yeah, she gets where Velvet is coming from here. Cleaning supplies in hand, she'll head over to start scrubbing at a part she hasn't gotten to yet.]
I'll help. That is, if you don't mind.
no subject
[She says, now frowning as she cleans away all the muck.]
If you focus on something I'm not cleaning, it shouldn't be too much of an hindrance. But I might still have to look over your work.
no subject
[She's thorough when she works, at least. Even if Velvet does have to look over her work, it shouldn't take too long to confirm.] I'm actually pretty good at this sort of thing! Even if my profile card didn't list cleaning as a skill...
[She'll keep at it, and true to her word, she's doing a careful, thorough job with the mess.]
no subject
[And she's fine which Velvet confirms and then goes back to her own cleaning.]
Everyone has their own way of doing things, including cleaning. And inevitably, if you try to do something two different ways, it'll take longer to get it done. That's all.
no subject
[But also, they're just trying to get rid of the blood? Ultimately, as long as they accomplish that, it shouldn't be too hard to do efficiently.]
But I think there's something to be said for working together to complete a task. Look! [She smiles and gestures at the bit Velvet just cleaned off and the bit she just cleaned.] We've already cleaned twice what one person would do alone in just a small amount of time.
no subject
It'd be more consistent if I had done it myself. There are definitely tasks where having greater numbers helps, but I think cleaning goes best when one person is able to focus all their energy. You also don't have to argue about the methods used, or waste time discussing things.
no subject
[Well. Message received, then? She'll just. Clean in silence, so they don't waste time talking.
But she'll talk again once they're all finished. Velvet hasn't gotten rid of her yet.]
no subject
There. I'd say we might wanna make sure the scent of blood's gone, but in a place like this... There's a pretty overwhelming stench already.
[It's alcohol.]
no subject
...you don't like the scent of alcohol, Velvet-san?
[It is a little... pungent...]
no subject
[Rokurou and Eizen seem to like it a lot, but...]
I'm 19, so it's not like I've ever had any.
no subject
[demons don't have a drinking age
and her human friends are punks who don't give a shit about the drinking age]
no subject
no subject
[Well, that makes sense. Alcohol does seem to make people act pretty strangely - maybe people from her world just want to make sure nobody young is getting themselves into weird, alcohol-induced trouble.]
It does seem to help people relax, but I don't see the appeal, myself.
