( 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!

I believe the faceless men will likely take it, if they haven't already.

[ but she steps toward kaito, fishing dave's room key out of her pocket to hand to him. ] I thought you might not want this floating around.

[nowyouseeit]

[he nods, although it's more like he's bowing his head in respect. when she holds out the room key, he takes it from her without complaint]

. . . thanks.

[poker face, poker face, poker face. no time to grieve; they have more important things to think about]

You said he was killed by a creature. Is that monster on the loose in the motel now?

[inventurous]

You're welcome.

[ though she cringes a bit because. it feels weird to say you're welcome when she had to. take the key off of someone who died. this sucks.

she shakes her head. ] No, it should be dead. It must have been killed at the same time. And Aloy stabbed it with her spear to make sure.

[nowyouseeit]

[this super sucks. the key goes into his pocket, at any rate]

Okay. . . that's. One less thing we have to worry about. [deep exhale] Have you spoken to Dirk yet?

[because he knows Dirk is going to take this the hardest]

[inventurous]

Not beyond the announcement, he... ran off before I could say anything more. I think he needed to see for himself.

[ that. dave was dead. so yeah dirk is not taking this well, much as everyone expected. ]

I plan to later, to give him Dave's sunglasses, but I didn't want to bother him immediately with it.

[nowyouseeit]

. . . [he nods]

S'probably good for him to have some time to himself.

[. . .]

Are you okay?

[he's desensitized to bodies by now (murder mystery canon), but. he can't imagine it's easy, to suddenly find a corpse like that]
