( 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!

[every single person in l'arachel's room has had to explain running water to her three times apiece no fucking question

anyway this seems to make it click at least and no, forget dipper's numbers angst, she just wants to play with the calculator now???] My! May I see? [She's not waiting for an answer she's just fuckin going for it.]

[pinesfortruth]

[honestly, that works better as a distraction than any talk given to Dipper, because now he's just... blinking at her]

Uhhh. Sure? The division button is broken, though. You just press the buttons to make it work otherwise.

[L'Arachel squints at the calculator, presses a number button on it—] Oh! [INCREDIBLE!!! No okay she's going to sit down next to Dipper and just start pressing calculator buttons, she's amazed.] Marvelous! How efficient!

[okay no hold on she's gonna tear herself away from whatever multiplication she's doing here]

And what do you mean to achieve with this? [genuine curiosity!! she's looking over all his goddamn school supplies here too as she says it]

[pinesfortruth]

[this is actually completely distracting him from his issues, so, good job l'arachel]

Oh, well, most of this stuff is for notes-- [he shows her a sample which includes a (surprisingly decent) map of the city, general notes, what looks like a draft of a spreadsheet he's scratched out???, etc.] You know, to try and figure out everything's that going on here and keep track of it. The calculator was just in case I needed it?

[honestly he just wanted to see if he could have one]
