( 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!

A stupidly noble sacrifice.

[ It's said without much bite though, because the words don't have much of a derogatory tone to them - he still thinks that Dave Strider paid for his carelessness with his life, but according to what Violet had conveyed, the monster had already been killed by the time they had found Dave's body, so at the very least, Seto has some measure of respect for Dave being able to take out a creature that none of them decidedly want roaming around the motel. ]

Take out this room, and you leave the motel in darkness. [ He's guessed as much earlier from the sudden blackout, but glancing over at the boxes and the smudged and illegible writing of the labels is enough to confirm that guess. ]

... And in the dark, no one can see you.

[ Kaito probably can't see it since Seto isn't facing him, but there's a grim look on his features. It's not difficult to guess the kind of conclusion he's drawn from this - easier to get away with murder. ]

Where do you think the monster came from? It can't have been hiding here all this while.

[and in the dark, no one can see you]

[he makes a face, because. yeah. he's definitely on the same page as Seto, here. someone is going to take advantage of this in order to kill]

I don't know.

[he answers as he approaches a panel and brushes his fingers over the switches]

I actually assumed it was hiding in here the entire time. Like. . . I dunno. Sleeping, I guess.
