( 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!

[ He wanted a fresh apple from the kitchen, honestly. But he stops by the table with a small, lighthearted laugh at the drawings and Mabel Lesson. ]

Those stick figures look familiar...

[ Hm... red hair, glasses, scalpels? ]

Are you saying he'll be a murderer this week? That makes things easy.

[pinesforyou]

[don't laugh at murder-sensei, gosh?]

He would have been, if not for me encouraging his artistic career.

[Girge is presumably fingerpainting at this point, so she gestures in his direction]

Bam! Murder averted!

[fauxtetsu]

[ But she takes this so seriously! He wishes it would work actually. ]

Huh... give me a second.

[ There's some origami that Hajime was folding a few weeks back in the Lobby, since she wanted to spruce up the place. When he returns from a quick dash (the faceless forgot to toss out these ones, thank goodness), he has a fox and a crab, both made with the red tourism pamphlets. ]

Which one do you think is him?

[pinesforyou]

[How could it fail!!!]

[Mabel looks suitably impressed by the origami, not realizing it was Hajime's work all along, and nudges him]

Nagasone, you rapscallion! I didn't know you could do origami! [gosh what an artistic man]

The crab, definitely.

[fauxtetsu]

[ Foolproof! The true question is who of the twins has better plans. ]

Uh... These aren't mine, just destined for the Lobby wastepaper basket... But he's definitely a crab, if you want to doodle glasses on it.

[ Good men are also honest! So he grabs the sheets of paper for manly proof of artis-... Godammit Nagasone, put that pride away. ]

But! I can definitely make another, slightly different crab! It can be... who else would be a crab? Or I can make a crane, I learned that last week...

[pinesforyou]

[Obviously Mabel. Who can resist stickers, fingerpainting, and friendship bracelets?]

[listen, Mabel will let him. Arts and crafts are open to everyone, not just creepy psychopaths]

Let's see what you got!

[fauxtetsu]

[ Give him a minute and... a thicc crab! ]

Can you fold anything, Mabel?

[ Would it also be given googly eyes and glitter? Because please, do that. ]

[pinesforyou]

[yes, she will definitely give it both googly eyes and glitter. Ta da!]

Now he's a googly crab!

[She's taking a piece of paper herself] Naturally. I'm an arts and crafts master, you know. I'll make you a friend crab!

[fauxtetsu]

[ This is oddly enjoyable, and he's an old man. Old for humans, young for a spirit ]

Alright then. This is... a nice distraction.
