( 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!

[ Even though the sticker stand was on Monday, Clementine doesn't come by wanting some until Thursday, sort of awkwardly seeking Mabel out. How 2 socialize..... ]

Hey. You out of stickers?

[pinesforyou]

[Mabel's found it a little hard to concentrate on her crafts by the time Clementine swings around, what with the paranoia and death and all, but she's knitting away at yet another sweater]

Not yet! And I can tell you've earned one.

[she puts down her knitting gear and digs out her book]

Any preferences?

[willremember]

Zero kills since I came here. That's a record.

[ things not to say in these circumstances: like half of what Clementine blurts out without thinking. ]

Any flowers?

[pinesforyou]

It's a record you should keep up! [a pause] Wait, did you kill before getting here?

[she does dig through her book to pull out a little scratch and sniff daisy]

I'll do you one better: it's a scratch and sniff.

[willremember]

Thanks. [ Clementine takes the sticker, but just holds onto it like she's saving it. ]

Yeah, walkers - or, zombies, I mean - and people. Had to. [ She's been over this a bunch so Mabel can have the abbreviated version. Also it is hard to feel ~*~dark~*~ around her??? plus this stickers got her in a pretty good mood ngl ]

[pinesforyou]

Zombies, huh? [unlike most regular people, Mabel seems to Get This and nods grimly.] Those guys are nasty. Me and Dipper and Grunkle Stan had to fight a ton of them. There's still bones and stuff in the couch!

[cherish the sticker forever, Clem]

You know about the three part harmony thingy, right?

[willremember]

[ wait there are other people here from worlds like hers?? ??? ] --You have them too? Not just - in stories?

The what?

[pinesforyou]

Yeaaaaaah. We've got all sorts of weird stuff in Gravity Falls. The zombies were technically my brother's fault, but I think they might have shown up anyway.

Three voices in perfect harmony can explode their heads! In other words-- karaoke!

[it's a secret cheat code for the walking dead]

[willremember]

... I think your world is pretty different from mine after all. But that's... Good, if that works for you.

[ if only ]

[pinesforyou]

Hey, don't knock it until you've tried it.

[just sayin]

They're pretty nasty, though. I hope we don't have to deal with a zombie invasion here -- having murders is bad enough. I don't wanna deal with the undead on top of that.

[willremember]

I think I would die if I tried it. Last thing I want to do with walkers on my tail is make more noise.

[ she shrugs though... different worlds. ]

I asked Craftly earlier, and he said nobody here will turn, so I wouldn't worry about that. There's plenty of other stuff to worry about.

[pinesforyou]

Well... maybe get one alone, then get two other people to sing with you. Worst comes to worse, you can bash its head in or something.

Whew. That's a relief. We just have to make sure nobody kills anyone else, and avoid all the... insects and... stuff....

[willremember]

I'll try it out next time I have one stuck or something. [ no she will not. ]

I don't think you can stop them. People are... Bad.

[pinesforyou]

It's a real gamechanger!

[rude]

Not all of 'em. Besides, people should know by now that if they kill people, they're going to get boiled in oil or.... whatever.

[willremember]

Not if they don't get caught. Someone got away with it last time.

[pinesforyou]

Not for long, though. My brother and I are great at solving mysteries, we're totally gonna catch that butthead ghost and whoever the other killer was.

[willremember]

Then what?

[pinesforyou]

Theeeeenn..... people finally smarten up and stop trying to kill each other! Or I beat 'em up!

[she's certainly.. optimistic (?)]

[willremember]

Then we'll have to deal with whatever punishment this place has for not following it's rules. Any plans for that part?

[ despite expectations and pessimism she genuinely means this question and isn't just trying to be mean ]

[pinesforyou]

If no one kills, then---

[wait a second, she hadn't considered that part]

Huh. I wonder what happens if nobody kills... it can't be good.

[willremember]

I kind of figured we'd find out the first week, but I guess not.
