( 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!

...why did you have to put that new theory in my head.

[Apollo hopes this doesn't end with them turning into faceless demons. Say, now that you mention inns that seem to be awfully dirty all the time...may as well ask:]

What kind of world do you come from? I heard some of us come from rather unusual worlds, how's yours like?

[breaksouls]

Any world that's different from your own will seems unusual to you.

[Cellphones are way weirder than Normins or anything in her world.]

My world mainly consists of the Holy Midgand Empire. There's a great amount of islands scattered across the surrounding seas. It's hard to know what's unusual and what isn't, since so much would go without saying. While there is a royal family, the world is truly governed by the Abbey, an order of exorcists that preach of purity and saving mankind. But the biggest difference is likely the existence of daemons and malakhim. Oh, and the animals are different than the ones I've seen in books here.

[Then let's use this chance to become culturally diverse. Your world does seem strange, that's for sure]

So that's why you were taken everything so calmly! If it's filled with daemons and malarkey [Goddammit Apollo] then faceless men must be nothing unusual to you.

[A world ruled by exorcists...and given that Velvet's profile mentioned a daemon arm he can only guess Velvet may not be well-liked by them. He prudently decides not to ask about that]

[breaksouls]

... What do you mean? This world is incredibly strange. There's all these machines and appliances, in the town and even in the kitchen. And like I said, the animals aren't familiar either. There's no prickleboar or albatross meat available which makes cooking difficult. Not to mention all of us here appear to be human.

[There's also something to be said about calling Velvet's reaction calm...]
