( 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!

Tuesday evening and on

[pinesforyou]

[So everyone has heard from Jay that Anderson and Jake are missing.]

[Well, Mabel has a plan!! She has a bunch of handmade "Missing Child" posters of Jake and Andersen. They say, If Found, Please Return To Mabel, Or Anyone Else That's Not a Creepy Murderer]

[And she's either waving them at your face or trying to stick them in various places around.]

If you see something, say something! And put a plate of cookies out for them or something!

[Feel free to help her out, or don't. Fair warning, if you're not helpful, she might just glue one of those posters to you]

C'mon, we gotta find them!

[crimsonsparrow]

[Ah, yes, the girl who may or may not have had dealings with demons. Suzaku will take a few posters to distribute because he's a good sport who is also very helpful. Except that he frowns at them.]

This line here specifies you as the keeper of these children?

[Also he's pretty sure Andersen isn't technically a missing "child" at all but that seems like a critique for another day.]

[pinesforyou]

[Thank you, Suzaku, for helping and not probing her about her Checkered Past]

[Andersen's shorter than the average 13 y o, so he definitely counts as a child]

Something like that! I'm a great guardian, I'm very mature for my age.

[winks!]

But basically, you can hand them over to anyone that isn't a creep.

[crimsonsparrow]

[Did...did she just wink at him? He definitely can't stop the uncharacteristically dumbfounded expression that surfaces on his face.]

And who exactly constitutes as "a creep" in this scenario? Anyone tentacle-armed?

[Not to, you know, single anyone out...]

[pinesforyou]

Wink, wink.

[Not only did she wink, she also said it out loud. What a saucy broad]

Tentacles are fine as long as they keep them away from skirts and other anime cliches! I'm talking about, like, murder creeps. Or people who are really weird.

[gestures at Girge]

[disinterested]

[Well, for now, Girge is just standing around, watching her stick up posters.]

Put out a plate of cookies? Are we trying to attract bugs or lost children?

[pinesforyou]

Can't it be both?

[Have a Winning Smile, Mr. Sociopath]

[disinterested]

[Mr. Sociopath is unimpressed by your Winning Smile.]

I don't think Jake and Andersen will be lured in by swarming bugs.

[pinesforyou]

[Mr. Sociopath, she's gluing a flyer on your chest now.]

[Mr. UNHELPFUL Sociopath]

Oooor they'll see the cookies and make a mad dash for them before the bugs get here.

[Taps her head]

Smart.

[disinterested]

[Thanks for the fashion statement???]

... Ah, yes. What a foolproof plan. And if they're slower than the bugs?

[splinten]

[....]

You're a good kid, Mabel.

[shut up he doesn't have emotions he's fine]

[pinesforyou]

I'm a great kid.

[aww Dirk]

[she looks pleased, though]

And my brother's a great detective! He's really good. I bet he'll find them.

[splinten]

Yeah, you are.

[Good! She should be.]

I trust in your word for it.

[.......



well at least they eventually get to see Dipper prevent BURNING A CORPSE so that's nice]

[pinesforyou]

[and they find Jake!!! Mabel's got a leg to stand up on here]

What kind of food do you think would lure them out? Cookies? Hot dogs? Steak?

He is! He found out who killed wax Grunkle Stan and outsmarted a crazy triangle demon.

[splinten]

Okay, important question here, did the crazy triangle demon have anything to do with the wax Grunkle Stand murderer?

[Also. Food. Hm.]

Jake eats a lot of fresh fruits, but he hasn't had any fast food before. Anything like a hamburger or fries, or yeah hot dogs, would lure him right out.

[pinesforyou]

In this case, no. They were two separate occasions!

[but where will they find hot dogs]

To the kitchen!

... Or the butlers!!!

[splinten]

[MABEL]

Let's ride.

[Or: walk]
