( 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!

[Nah I'm kidding, she'll be right there waiting when he comes back]

[nowyouseeit]

[BYE YUKINA]

[at least he returns quickly, bottle of white vinegar in hand]

Here. I found some. This should do.

[thawedheart]

[FAREWELL, SHE'S OUT, GOODBYE]

Oh, thank you very much... [She reaches for the bottle of vinegar and flashes him a smile.] I appreciate it. I definitely don't want to go around with blood on my clothes for the whole time we're here.

[nowyouseeit]

[AND THAT IS HOW KAITO WAS STOOD UP]

Ha. Who would? And even if they give us a couple of changes of clothes in our closest, it's nice to have options.

[thawedheart]

Yes... although, most of my outfits are like this one.

["This one" being the kimono she's trying to wash, anyway. The pink dress she's currently wearing isn't a style she wears super often.]

But I've been told it's... a little old-fashioned? I wonder if Craftly-san would provide more modern clothing, if I asked.

[nowyouseeit]

Probably. But what's wrong with wearing something a little old-fashioned?

[he thinks it's cute!]

It looks good on you.

[thawedheart]

[Yukina smiles, just the teeniest, tiniest bit flattered.]

Oh... thank you. That's kind of you to say, Kaito-san. [And she's working some of the vinegar into the bloodstain... her face lights up when she scrubs it out, because-] Oh! Look, it's a little lighter already! Your suggestion worked...

[nowyouseeit]

Heh! 'Course it worked.

[he has. experience. with this. not that he's saying that aloud, of course. WHITE SUITS DO NOT TAKE WELL TO BLOOD STAINS]

Now you can wear it again without people givin' you weird looks for the random bloodstains.

[thawedheart]

[SHE'LL BELIEVE IT, especially after the stains on his suit when they first met.]

Yes, that's true. I'd rather not have someone get the wrong idea.

[Because that's an easy thing to do here, what with all the murder.]

[nowyouseeit]

Especially not here.

[with, uh. all the murder]

Thanks for cleaning up the lounge, too. Some of us like to spend time there to clear our heads.

[thawedheart]

Velvet-san did most of the work! I just helped out. [She smiles.] But, you're welcome. If it helps to make things easier for people, even a little... it's worth it.
