( 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 nods, and very gingerly takes her wrist in his hand. like, barely, his touch is super feather light]

Akane. . .

[he lifts his gaze from the scratches to her face again, before he pulls away]

I don't see anything other than a bunch of scratches.

[She draws away from him again, skittish in her movement.]

Well, they are there! I can feel them!

[nowyouseeit]

Are you sure it's not like the-- [he jerks his head again, lifting his hand to press it against his ear. guuuh]

Whispering? Or the itchiness from last week?

[18x0]

You mean a hallucination?

[She shakes her head slowly.]

If it is, it's an extremely vivid one.

[nowyouseeit]

. . . the whispering is pretty vivid too, if ya ask me.

[why Lovecraft. why]

Just. Take care of yourself, okay? And try not to scratch too much; you're hurting yourself.

[18x0]

I know, I know.

[The bugs hurt too, though :(]

[nowyouseeit]

[let's see, let's see. . . oh!]

Oi! I got a deck of cards earlier this week. D'you know any card games?

[card games may be a good distraction??]

[18x0]

Of course, I know a lot of games.

[She can tell you all about the history of card games too, if you'd like.]

[nowyouseeit]

[actually he would find that interesting?? but anyway, he gestures towards the door]

Let's go to the lounge, yeah? There are tables and drinks there.

[he's talking about non-alcoholic ones, but hey, she's of age]

[18x0]

...Okay.

[She's never drinking alcohol again. But hey, maybe this will help distract from the bugs??]
