( MINGLE - WEEK 2 )
![]() 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! ic rulebook | locations | statuses | room assignments private conversations | ic profiles | graveyard | full navigation |

[ once again, this is said as he trails a single finger down the chiseled figure of mannequin-san. he turns to look at Kaito properly just as he invites himself in.
if Monocle happens to look more at the actual mannequin instead of Akira, he will notice that there seems to be a signature of sorts on the one good lens of his glasses. it's D.Va's logo, makeshift bunny and all. ]
I'm trapping my room. It's... a work in progress.
no subject
Says the guy trying to invite a mannequin to bed with him.
[Akira please stop hitting on the mannequin it's kind of awkward?? and his gaze is drawn towards the autograph on those glasses, but it only lingers a second before it returns to Akira]
I'd ask what kinda traps you're using, but if you told people it'd probably defeat the purpose of the trap in the first place. [ha]
no subject
[ ????
also, apparently Akira is just going to refer to him by a different nickname or actual name ― honorific optional ― every time he speaks to him. which has been a lot, so he may have to start getting creative here in the near future. ]
I thought we were under the assumption that we could trust one another. Am I not able to tell you of what I have under my sleeve?
no subject
You can, if ya wanna satisfy my curiosity. Or if you want help.
[now he's poking around the room looking for said traps. STOP. . . BEING RUDE, KAITO]
no subject
Hmm. Last time someone poked around in another person's room, they got punched in the face. [ JUST SAYING, DUDE. ] I don't mind, though. My room is yours if you need it.
[ just in case you get tired of all of those dentures and shit. ]
―This is all I have so far, to be honest. I told you it's a work in progress.
no subject
For the record, I didn't condone the punching.
[and the dentures are kind of charming?? in their own way!!]
S'not bad. . . for a start. Are the mannequins there to make it look like someone's here even when the room is empty?
no subject
[ he makes it sound like he's bitter, but he really isn't. Akira is mad at no one for what's happened. what is anger, even? ]
No. It's to show to whoever is curious that I am supposedly awake. If someone in this room is awake... maybe they'll think twice about trying to come inside.
no subject
Have you thought about putting a bucket of water above the door in case they decide to break in anyway? Oooh, or a bell, so their entrance will wake you up immediately.
no subject
[ Akira is considering the prospect of doing one or both of those options. not a bad idea either, young Kaito. great minds appear to think alike. ]
Wouldn't you be upset I took your ideas as my own, though? What if they break in my room first, get caught and then know what to expect by the time they get to yours?
[ yeeeeah he's clearly bullshitting ]
no subject
[in other words: yeah, he knows]
If I were sneaking into someone's room, the first thing I'd do is check for water buckets and alarm bells.
no subject
[ ahhh, now Kaito has Akira's creative juices flowing. the problem is finding a shovel and getting it on the ceiling somehow. ]
no subject
Now you're thinking outside the box. Why a shovel, though?
[he'd personally pick like. a sand bag]
no subject
[ SHRUGS ]
no subject
. . .
Talk about hitting below the belt. . .
[but he's thoroughly amused]
