( 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 |

He steps forward.]
Ah... the strange message, you mean?
no subject
Yes. It was up long enough for everyone to get a good look at it, I think... I wonder what it means. [Yukina wrinkles her nose.] But leaving it up... it wasn't an option. It just wasn't.
no subject
Cold water works better.
[To get the blood out, he means. Just a tip, and he would offer to bring her detergent if he knew about the supply room.]
...I've committed the message and the strange symbol to memory. It's just a guess on my part, but I think there may be a group of people we should be wary of. Not just the Ghost.
no subject
[She's just. Not going to ask how you know that, Light "skilled at murder" Yagami.
The prospect of working with cold water doesn't bother her, either - and so she gets up to fill a tub with the iciest water she can get out of the taps. There's no hesitation when she plunges her hands back in along with the kimono to get back to work.]
...I agree with you. That message made it... pretty clear, I think. That it's not just one... [She hesitates.] Person.
no subject
But anyway, he nods, though he blinks as Yukina just pretty much plunges her hands into what must be very cold water.]
Ah... [He focuses on the matter at hand.] Yes. And if they may have been working with an entire group, that's disconcerting, since it only makes everyone distrust each other more.
...Isn't that cold? [The water, he means. Yes, he just told you to use it, but-- shouldn't she at least have reacted to some way to the temperature?]
no subject
[Mostly it's because of the completely and utterly sketchy way some of those profile cards were filled out. There's no reason for them to be described that way except to make them fearful of each other.]
It's possible that it's just one person making it sound like there's a group to make it harder to know who to trust... but I think it's... probably more likely that there is a group. It's a little early for alliances, but... it seems one has been formed.
[And it's not even for the purpose of preventing murder. Boooooo.]
...ah? [She blinks, then looks down at her hands.] It is a little, but... I'm used to it. Where I grew up, there was almost constant snow and ice, so...
no subject
[He's still watching her hands. He's pretty sure his would have gone numb by now.]
That sounds like a very difficult environment to live in...? [Said with the lilt of a question, because he's curious.]
no subject
[She sighs faintly - while she'd like to believe that people aren't going to go out of their way to hurt each other, she also can't deny that, uh, people have died? They haven't caught the killer. There is very clearly still at least one individual will ill intentions here - and probably more.]
It is, a little. Or... was. I don't live there anymore. [She shrugs, continuing to work on getting the stain out of her clothing.] The weather wasn't as difficult to bear as the people... it was like most of them had become as cold as ice, themselves.
[Then her expression brightens up just a bit.]
I like it much better where I am now - or... where I was, actually. Before we came here.
no subject
And where's that?
[He'd have no context, of course, but where individuals grew up in contrast to where they currently live sometimes said a lot about a person.]
no subject
I've been spending my time near Mushiyori City... I don't suppose you've heard of it?
no subject
I haven't. Is it a particularly large city?
no subject
[The struggle of having more life experience in the demon realm than the human one...]
I like it, though. The people there are... very friendly, and... warm? [She smiles.] And it's where my friends live, so it feels more like home to me than where I grew up.
