( 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!

[he'll notice the card seems to be shuffled seamlessly into the deck! and once Kaito is finished doing that. . . he hands the cards to light]

And just to be absolutely sure, shuffle it yourself. Cut it a few times, too. Make sure it's good and buried in there.

[godly]

[Light takes the cards as instructed, and rather deftly begins to shuffle them. It's easy enough, given that he's seated and can utilize the flat surface of the table in front of him.]

Okay.

[And he cuts it a few times, too, as requested. He hands the cards back to Kaito expectantly.]

Continue.

[nowyouseeit]

[taps his knuckles against the deck when he takes it back, letting out a thoughtful hum as he does so]

[and then. . .]

Jack of Spades, right? Check your pocket. I think it decided it liked you enough to stick around. ♥

[AND, INDEED, should he check his pockets, Light will find the Jack of Spades tucked neatly into one!]

[godly]

[He's frowning, because certainly he would have felt something-

Give him a moment while he shifts in his seat, digs into his pocket, and... Yeah, that's a card he's pulling out, all right. The Jack of Spades.

He turns it around in his fingers for a moment, brow furrowing a little in surprise.]

It's... slight of hand, right?

[nowyouseeit]

[bows his head with a grin]

'Course it is. No spells at all. Just nimble hands and quick fingers.

[that sounds like innuendo, Kaito]

[godly]

Not to mention distraction with whatever flourish you decide to use with those cards.

[He hands the card back at him, mildly impressed. Some small part of his pride twinges at it, though, as he's naturally disinclined to feeling tricked, even if he had asked for it.]

You're pretty good. Usually I'm observant enough to catch someone trying to pull the wool over my eyes. Do you draw big audiences at home?

[nowyouseeit]

Big enough.

[heh. also totally not elaborating on what kind of audiences he draws, because usually it's a mixture of fans and police officers trying to arrest him]

I'm still a high school student, so I don't perform much. But I seem to have charmed my entire class, at the very least. ♥
