( MINGLE - WEEK 3 )

[abhoth]

SURVIVORS: 36 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 doesn't seem like there's anything out of the ordinary on this lovely Monday morning. How quaint. As a reminder, we are now accepting murder proposals for Week 3! If you're interested in having your character commit a murder this week, be sure to send in your proposal before Tuesday, 9:00 PM EST. Without any murders we can't have a murdergame, so go forth and let the bodies hit the floor! As always, feel free to PM us or send us a PP over plurk if you have any questions!

[Girge lets out an amused sound.]

"Magic powers" makes it sound more interesting than it is.

[vitamin_a]

It's always interesting when there's nothing like that in my world. [Apollo shrugs. It's actually kinda interesting to hear about -- especially because the only magic he knows is Trucy's magic tricks]

The closest I have seen is channeling spirits, and that's not the same thing at all.

[disinterested]

Hmm? Channelling spirits sounds a lot like "real" magic to me.

[vitamin_a]

It's less magic and more...spirituality? I don't know how it works, but the medium channels the spirit of someone who's deceased and gains all the physical characteristics of that person. It's the real deal, I have seen it myself.

[He sounds a bit disheartened describing that. The exact reason is something he's not willing to talk about]

[disinterested]

[Well, he won't bother to pry. At the moment, he's not all that interested.]

Considering the sorts of things that happen here, I'm in no position to doubt it, am I?

[vitamin_a]

Yes, I'd say the same if you were the one telling me that.

[Apollo sighs]

I have heard so many strange things and seen all this weird stuff I don't know what I'll think once I'm back at home.

[disinterested]

That's a little optimistic, don't you think? You may never return home, after all.

[vitamin_a]

Is it any better to think I'm going to die? I know it's not out of the question, but I'd rather not focus on that.

I need to focus on the end goal.

[disinterested]

The end goal would require you to murder others or be very, very lucky.

[vitamin_a]

...

[He's not wrong about that. Apollo is completely unwilling to murder someone, so that's definitely not an option]

...you think you can survive?

[disinterested]

Who knows? It's difficult to say in a place like this.
