( 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!

Are you used to guns that involve magic?

[disinterested]

Well... yes and no. Like I said, our ideas of "magic" are probably very different. [...] Your world doesn't use quartz, does it?

[ninjay]

No.

[ a pause. he glances down at his hands. ]

We have something called eres.

[disinterested]

And how does that work?

[ninjay]

[ he hasn't spoken to anyone about how his powers work yet, but... well. it's not like they have their powers here, so it's not going to do anything. ]

There are iron eres and crystal eres. Iron is more physical. So for example, I could throw something and using my eres, I could make it explode.

[disinterested]

Is that so? Not quite like anything I've heard of.

[ninjay]

Not everyone can use them, so they're very useful in battle.

... Although that doesn't really matter here.

[ he sounds annoyed ]

[disinterested]

Sadly true. I suppose they want to even the playing field, and all.

Not that it makes much of a difference to me. Even if I had my magic, it would be rather useless in this place.

[ninjay]

Really? What is that?

[ he's nosy i'm sorry ]

[disinterested]

Manipulating quartz.

... Which is probably useless information to you if your world doesn't use quartz.

[ninjay]

A little. Is that like... the rock, quartz?

[disinterested]

Exactly that, yes.

[ninjay]

We do have things involving stones, but... I'm sure it's something completely different to yours.

[disinterested]

I suspect it's mostly the same, actually. Just that in my case, humans have developed the innate ability to manipulate it.
