( 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!

[ Master? That gets a tilt of her head. ]

Your master granted you your physique?

[fauxtetsu]

Uh, it's hard to explain in full, but I was summoned by them from a weapon.

[ He laughs. ]

It's a lot easier to do things and serve them like this.

[restlessgods]

[ Very interesting. ]

Would you be willing to share a bit more with me? I haven't heard anything like this before.

[fauxtetsu]

I'm a tsukumogami. Objects that live to be a hundred or so years old can gain sentience, and through that, sages can give that sentience a body of their own through some magic.

[restlessgods]

Oh, that is very interesting.

[ She sort of understands it despite magic not existing in her world. ]

How old are you?

[fauxtetsu]

[ He closes his eyes, trying to figure out the math. ]

About 361 years.

[restlessgods]

[ She tilts her head. ]

That makes you quite wise.
