( MINGLE - WEEK 3 )


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!

What is all this stuff? Can I see?

[ okay she knows he already said yes, but. she wants to read them all!!! ]

Belongings of the Mayor's, I would assume. I took them from his office.

[He hands Clem the papers to start with. The first is a neatly folded letter. It reads:

MISS KIRKLAND,

It has come to my attention that the radio tower has been scheduled to begin construction July 14th in the South of Yuggoth. I am very pleased to hear this! I was over the moon knowing we were one step closing to another blessing. This city has seen so many hardships over the years and yet, it thrives. I would like to schedule a public tour first thing on such day for groundbreaking. Ms. Phillips has been donated generously with her foundation and I believe with this radio tower, we can finally accomplish the impossible.

I request you schedule a barber ahead of time, I'd like to look cleanly shaven for the photographers.

- Mayor Johnson

[ she reads it over slowly, taking her time, then sets it down in front of her so that he can take it back if he wants to. ]

Isn't this... Worded kind of weird?

I thought so, too. I hardly know what to make of it. I found it in a typewriter, as if it had just been written.

[He props his head up on one one hand as he turns the paper back around on the paper to look it over idly himself. If Clem moves onto the other two papers, she'll find an invitation to the Higher One's commencement ceremony at the Yuggoth Church, and a small thank you letter from a "Abigail Phillips" for the Mayor's endless support for her research for something called the "HP Formula".]

[ although she pulls up the invitation next, she's still preoccupied with the first paper. ]

Maybe they didn't have time to rewrite it. But the public tour part sounds weird, and the Ms. Phillips has been donated thing is weird, too...
crimsonsparrow: (your stupidity makes me smile)

Hmm?

[He finds the sentence she's indicating and reads it over more thoroughly. Slowly, his eyes light up--and he can't help it, he laughs.]

You're right!

[Clever girl.]

I initially thought it some sort of typographical error...but you have the right of it, this looks intentional! Some sort of human sacrifice, perhaps?

[How absolutely sublime! Well, he can't really say for sure that's what it is, but, well, it's fun to think about. Delightfully gruesome.]

I wouldn't put it past this place. But it doesn't seem - I don't know. If it was a human sacrifice, what does her foundation matter?
crimsonsparrow: (poetic wind)

Maybe they were all eliminated together?

[Who really knows. Suzaku just likes thinking of the worst possible option.]

Maybe they knew too much. It seems odd to me that they'd be threatened when the other letter indicates she had the support of the mayor, but maybe her research uncovered something it shouldn't have?

[Maybe she knew too much...?]

We should just get an evidence board or something so everyone can put up copies of whatever they know on it. That way everyone could figure everything out.

Because I sure can't.
