( 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 |

[ She draws her hand away bringing it up to fiddle with her hat a bit self consciously. ]
I'm just doing rounds. They uh... Make me feel better.

[ he notices the way she plays with her hat and, before even given the chance to think about bursting her personal bubble, reaches forward and pinches the front so that it's turned slightly to the side. ]
There. You'll look more cool to everyone while you continue doing your rounds.
[ :)?? ]
no subject
I don't think that's how it works.
[ meaning multiple things. A) that this isn't cool you weirdo and B) that she's not going back to them. and also a little of C) that she doesn't think anyone is paying attention to her when she's doing them. ]

[ she's not even going to readjust her hat just yet, which is what he immediately expected her to do. he is flattered! ]
Just walk with a bit more swag and confidence and I think you'd be set.
no subject
[ please teach her what swag is ]
no subject
I'm assuming you know what confidence is, so just to clarify... you don't know anything about swag?
[ like. come on. almost every zombie walks like a pimp, so she's got to have picked up on it through osmosis! ]

[ especially when you have voices in your head telling you to GO TO SLEEP over and over again. at least this is a proper distraction. ]
It's a really popular word for people to use back where I'm from. Especially teenagers. Kind of synonymous with "confident", so I guess I was being redundant. The point is, you need to walk like you own the place.
... I'm going to assume you will want to see an example.
no subject
But I want to see you do it.

[ Clem seems like the type of gal that could kick Akira's ass if she decided to. good thing she seems to? like him? a little???
he can't help but sigh when he realizes what he's signed himself up for, however. with hands shoved into his pockets, he stands there for a moment, trying to visualize how he should properly walk. ]
Try not to become too overwhelmed. [ he says this sarcastically, knowing this was probably a mistake the moment the words left his mouth. off he goes, walking with a certain level of weight in each step. his limbs remain loose and his shoulders roll with each sway of his hips.
... as cool as he wants to feel, when Akira forces it, Clem will probably assume he is just walking like a robot. :( ]
no subject
... Huh. Not very threatening.
