( 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!

[ Knoll actually has little faith things will be fine, but at least at Apollo's words, he'll be able to manage a small smile. ]

I think it sounds more than just cliché--it sounds just about right.

[ ... ]

Hmm, can you humor me for a little? If you returned home, what would you do?

[vitamin_a]

I'd go to my workplace immediately, see if my friends are okay.

[They must be deadly worried about him. Apollo hopes they're not in a state of continuous panic. They're competent, but it's doubtful they'll think of looking in another world]

Why the question?

[rextenebrae]

... I was just curious, that's all.

[ He begins to reach for the pot. ]

[vitamin_a]

[Here, take it]

You have been thinking of what you'd like to do once you're back at home, haven't you?

[At least that seems like the likely reason]

[rextenebrae]

[ He'll take it. ]

No. I don't even know if I will return home [ ye of little faith strikes again. ], and on the chance I do, I have already decided what I will do.

[vitamin_a]

[You really are a pessimistic person, eh, Knoll?]

And what is it?

[rextenebrae]

[ Knoll considers not answering, but he figures that it matters little. ]

... Disappear. I've done all that I can to help my fellow people, and it would not serve anyone well if I were to linger within the kingdom.

[ Living out a life as a hermit as his own personal punishment, essentially. ]
