( 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!

The latter. Here, I went and requested them from the desk.

[ He holds out a narrow box for Percival to inspect. It contains incense sticks, according to the label. ]

May I burn two, or would you rather do it?

[ He sounds appropriately solemn and gentle in tone about it, no matter what he decides. ]

[ percival peers into the box, eyes roving over the incense. his features are stern -- but gradually do they soften at the other man's question. ]

By all means. It's...appreciated.

Is this a custom of yours?

[fauxtetsu]

[[ i forgot to include he has something to hold the incense so you're good! ]]

Yes. You light them as purification of the air, or memory of the dead.

[ Nagasone holds a pair over the candle's flame until they catch, after which he shakes out the flames. He sets them in a holder by Percival's memorial to keep them up and catch the ashes. ]

Something about the smoke and embers is soothing.
