( 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!

[well heather, let him tell you a story about a dude with a death notebook

Actually, no. He can concede that much... up to a reasonable point.]

If there's no indication of how they do it, then they may succeed more than once. We can only hope that we were given some kind of clue in what we saw in the lounge... that, or unearth it ourselves. An incompetent detective can't hope to catch an invisible killer, after all.

You don't think we'd be able to tell if our minds were being influenced? For instance, these whispers.... [Ugh.] They're annoying, but I'm very cognizant of them.

[ungodly]

There's gotta be some kinda method to it. If the ghost could just float around and haunt or possess or drip ectoplasm on anyone they wanted to.. it'd be an unfair game, but for us. There has to be balance. Maybe.

[ it was a lot to ask for, but she didn't see the point in having this elaborate set up if they were doomed anyway. why not just massacre them? ]

Hana didn't seem like she knew.

[ no, with how resistant she is.. it was scary. ]

[godly]

A fairness. [He nods.] Likely some semblance of it. I still feel as if a lot of this is skewed against us.

[He hesitates, though. She's right, of course, Hana didn't know.]

Maybe she didn't know what to look for. We can only hope that everyone is going to be ten times more self-aware than before, knowing there's someone out there who can literally possess another.
