( 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 shakes his head, smile still in place. They're both suffering, he knows it. And, all this time he wondered what would have happened... if he had reached out to Prince Lyon more, if he didn't give in to those demands filled with despair. If he had just tried to help better...

Just like he was trying to do now. ]

Please..take it for now. As long as you return it after tonight, it won't really be an inconvenience.

[ He holds the book out to her. ]

[Yukina looks from the book up to his face, and when she meets his eyes, she smiles.

The smile is a little sad, and she looks almost like she might cry... but she's happy. She reaches out for the book and takes it, wrapping her arms around it and holding it to her chest. She nods once.]

Thank you so much. I'll give it back to you tomorrow morning.

[rextenebrae]

[ Knoll will nod; he looks a bit relieved that she accepted it. He's a little worried for a moment that she might cry. But, he can tell from the look of happiness in her eyes...and the way she's holding the book that she's truly happy, and that makes him feel like he's made a good choice. ]

It's no problem... I'm happy to be of assistance, and I do hope that you're able to enjoy the book as well.

[thawedheart]

I'm sure that I will.

[It looks... interesting? It's a book about friendship, so it's bound to be nice. (She hopes.)]

Maybe sometime, once I've read it... we can talk about it together, and we can find other books to read together, too.

[rextenebrae]

[ Inb4 it's about a tragic friendship. ]

I think I would like that. I cannot remember the last time I had discussed with someone about the story from a book. I suppose... there is also the fact that I took having books to read at my leisure for granted, before we were brought here.

[thawedheart]

[WELP.]

I did, too... [She sighs... then brightens up a little.] Oh! I'll ask Craftly-san for some books. Maybe we can look at them together.

[...next week, after the trial. Because chances are, someone's going to show up dead within the next 24 hours. There's no escaping that.]

[rextenebrae]

[ ... Something to look forward to! ]

Yes, we could.

[ Though, speaking of which... ]

.... Perhaps, I should also warn you that when requesting for books that he or those servants may decide to place something in there extra that he believes to be amusing, when it isn't.
