( 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!

[s. . . stares at that list]

[lifts a hand]

[pats both his cheeks]

Cute cheeks?

[perceptions]

Yeah! You don't see it?

[nowyouseeit]

I always considered myself handsome, not cute.

Cute is for girls and little kids.

[Kaito you are a kid]

[perceptions]

Uh, but you are a kid.

[nowyouseeit]

I'm 17!

[as though that'll change her opinion]

[perceptions]

Yeah. 17 is still being a kid. You're just an overgrown kid is all.

[nowyouseeit]

[snort]

Better a kid than a boring ol' adult, I guess. Still not sure whether I should be flattered about my cute cheeks or not.

[perceptions]

Don't worry, you still got plenty of years to go Kaito. I mean, assuming you get out of this alive. [EVER THE OPTIMIST, HUH MIRA...] There are some cute people your age y'know. I saw how you were looking at Velvet yesterday for example.

[nowyouseeit]

[IMMEDIATELY FLUSHES RED]

What? No, I-- was helping Dave! Do the. Injury check.

[perceptions]

Yeah you did the injury check alright. And a lot more too. [She smirks.] C'mon don't be shy. I gave her a really high rating so I know she's got it going on.

[nowyouseeit]

[rubs?? his nose?? and looks away]

She's-- she's very pretty, s'true.

[read: she is very hot]

But she also threatened to kill everyone, so that kinda knocks down her rating a bit in my book.

[perceptions]

[She pauses for a moment and then sighs.]

Kaito, you don't know anything about women do you?

[nowyouseeit]

[NOOOOO called out on his innocent purity]

. . . I know plenty about women. [well, he knows how to flirt. behind the monocle, anyway] My best friend in the world is a girl.

[that. means nothing, but okay]

[perceptions]

Wow, way to break gender barriers. [SIGH.] Look, let me give you a hint: aggressive girls are always hiding some kind of sensitivity behind them.

[here comes the mira logic kaito, ready for it?]

Velvet may say she wants to kill everyone, and she probably does want to kill everyone. But, also, I bet she's a really sweet girl once you get to know her. You just need to accept that she may go homicidal on you if you ever betray her.

[you really picked the wrong adult for this kaito. not that you asked because mira just volunteered.]

[nowyouseeit]

[. . .]








Uuuuh.

[THANKS FOR THE ADVICE, MIRA. he literally has no idea what to do with it]

Can't she not kill anyone instead?

[perceptions]

A girl has needs Kaito. [Shrug.] Relax. Craftly told her she can't murder everyone to get out of here, so we're all safe!

[nowyouseeit]

Oh, yeah, that sure makes me feel a whole lot better.

[WRY]

Anyway, s'not like I'm here in order to find a date in the first place.

[SERIOUSLY]

[perceptions]

Well no one is I suspect. But, y'know, you shouldn't let circumstances stop you. Women appreciate honesty when it comes to these matters. Worst she can do is stab you right?

[Right??]

[nowyouseeit]

[opens mouth]

[closes mouth]

You know.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks for the girl advice.

[he's just going to roll with this]
