( 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!

They're trying to leave the Dark Room?!

[He actually seems horrified about that. Okay, maybe Emily is exaggerating! Things can be this bad, right?]

What do you mean? Have you see any around here?

[empireofrats]

Maybe. [She peers at Apollo, blinking slowly. Her face doesn't really register any kind of emotion in particular, though she doesn't seem scared.] I've seen them under the door. At the bottom.

They have hands like the Innkeeper, and they stick them under it to the outside.

[Well that's horrible. Apollo takes a deep breath, calming down. So there are tentacled things in the Dark Room...well it was obvious there was something in there]

Well, don't worry. Those things won't get out. You don't have to hide, everything will be okay.

[He hopes. He has no idea how those things behave, but he hopes it won't turn out to be as awful as he's imagining it to be]

[empireofrats]

[Again, she looks out at Apollo for a long moment, thinking.]

Maybe we should go inside instead. We can lock the door. Even if we turn into ghosts, it'll be okay.

There's monsters already out here.

[vitamin_a]

[Just what he needed, more paranoia to add to what he already had. Thank you, little girl]

I pass. I have no interest in turning into a ghost anytime soon. We don't even know if ghosts exist.

[empireofrats]

[Welcome. SORRY, SHE'S PARANOID TOO. Thanks, night terrors.]

But if you stay out here, you'll end up like Hana and Kamui. Unless someone kills you first.

[vitamin_a]

I can take care of myself. Nobody'll be able to kill me.

["...more like I hope nobody even tries to kill me". Apollo doesn't have that much faith on his ability to fight back or anything]
