( 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!

[um]

[what]

Who is this guy? He sounds kind of. . .

[crazy]

[pinesforyou]

Yeeeeeeaaaah, he's my crazy ex. He's, uh, in jail right now. [winces!]

Or he was... maybe Bill let him out. I'm really out of the loop.

[nowyouseeit]

And you think he's behind this?

[wow!]

What kinda guys are you dating, anyway? Ones with weird powers?

[pinesforyou]

I... honestly, I didn't really want to date him in the first place. He kind of forced me to. He's, obsessed with me and wants to make me his queen? Even though we live in a democracy.

[she's not proud] I wouldn't put it past him! He possessed his dad, set magical termites on us, built a giant robot, summoned a dream demon..... used his magical amulet to try to kill my brother.... he's a pretty messed up kid.

[that's coming from Mabel]

[nowyouseeit]

[oh 8(]

What an asshole.

[he grumbles]

You deserve someone way better than him, that much is for certain. Especially if he's the one behind this whole-- [gestures] -- thing.

[pinesforyou]

Honestly, I haven't had much luck with summer romance. [DRAMATIC TWEEN SIGH!!!] Even here, I thought I could find love in a hopeless place.... But so far it's been a no go.

[but she pointedly ignores his unFamily Friendly language and focuses on the fact that Kaito actually said something nice for once, holy crap]

....Thanks, Kaito.

[congrats on making her smile]

[nowyouseeit]

[. . . Mabel :(!!]

Have you ever thought that maybe you're trying too hard?

[look, she seems sad, even if she kind of made him ??? by hitting on him, he wants her to be happy! she looks like a good kid]

If you wait, love will come to you. Proooobably not in a place like this, but maybe afterwards.

[pinesforyou]

I thought boys liked a woman who knows what she wants....

[what a loser softy]

You really think so?

[nowyouseeit]

[smiles brightly at her]

I know so. You're still young! You've got your whole life ahead of you, y'know?

[pinesforyou]

Oh, I don't know.... I'm almost thirteen, soon I'll be starting high school.

[spoken like a true preteen]
