( MINGLE - WEEK 4 )

[abhoth]

SURVIVORS: 32 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 buildings surrounding the motel, it seems like the Library is now open. How quaint. As a reminder, we are now accepting murder proposals for Week 4! 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. Remember that we can't have a murdergame without any murders, 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!

Okay, I'm taking you to the lobby so I can get some ice.

[ Gently picks her up, and to the Lobby! Enjoy the TV static and usual Monday stuff as he runs off to the kitchen. ]

Okay...

[There's definitely a bit of blushing while she's getting carried in his strong manly man arms. Because Akane has good priorities.]

[fauxtetsu]

[ they are perfectly fine priorities! Hell just smile a little, if the thirst cheers her up or distracts her from the soreness. After setting her down somewhere comfy, he gets the ice and wraps it in a towel. Thank goodness he knows basic stuff like this, even when he can just be repaired when hurt. Quick fixes! ]

Can you describe what went after you? You survived though... I'm glad.

[ Setting the wrapped makeshift ice pick on her outstretched ankle. ]

[She relaxes on the couch, giving a sigh of relief at the ice. It feels nice to get a bit of rest.]

It's... very hard to describe. There were eyes and mouths all over it, and it had tendrils it used to grab me. I didn't get a very good look, to be honest.

[But hey, this is a good opportunity to explain the whole incident. Never pass up on a chance to give some sweet sweet exposition!]

It happened early in the morning... before the end of curfew, though. I heard the lock to our room rattling, like someone was trying to break in. At first I thought it was someone making an attempt on my life, but then... something reached in under the door and grabbed me by the ankle. It pulled me out into the corridor through the door - you must have seen the results when you awoke.

[fauxtetsu]

[ Honestly she deserves it. He sits near by to listen. ]

Yeah... Our door is more intact than I expected, even if it didn't mean much.

[ On one hand, he appreciates that Akane delivers the best exposition. On the other... There is no security in Yuggoth jfc. But he looks frustrated at the fact he... slept through that? Jesus. ]

How did you break free?

[18x0]

[He slept like a baby. It would have been sweet if Akane hadn't been getting mauled right there.]

I managed to grab a sharp splinter from the door and stabbed the creature. That seemed to discourage it long enough for me to escape.
