( 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!

[Great. Just what Jake wanted after Sunday: more dismemberment. God, he can't even look at a meat product right now without wanting to puke let alone this but he's in here and they need to figure out as much as possible to get out of this. He considers opening Dave's, to see, well, just to see it but instead decides to try one of the unlabeled ones, mostly just wanting to confirm it's empty. Dipper can go stick his fingers in arteries or whatever.]

I don't think that's the case? I mean, um, it could very well be, but Craftly did tell me about a previous round's winners. I don't think he was lying.

[pinesfortruth]

[dipper is absolutely going to go check those hearts out, because they are in jars and that makes it less horrible than seeing the things NOT in jars, thanks. are they labelled? what do they look like???

he is still trying to keep the flashlight so that other people can see, but it's obviously gonna be directed more at the hearts now. sorry guys]

If three people are meant to survive this for real, and one fridge is missing, then maybe... [he trails off] Can one of you check for Mira's name on those? [and if it's not missing, then he's got more wacky theories!!!! they're all terrible.]

[abhoth]

[ As Jake tries to open one of the doors, he'll find that the ones that are unlabeled are locked. However, if he tugs at the latch on a labeled one, let's say Omega, they'll find a similar collection of assorted body parts. Some items missing, but honestly? It looks like their teeth and fingers are all in tact and accounted for. :)

Dipper can see that each jar is neatly labeled except for one which seemed more like a jagged swift motion, almost like it was ravenous and animalistic. That jar is labeled Mira. The neater ones are noted as Jason, Hana, Hibiki, Omega, Kamui, and Vincent. They are all human hearts, so put two and two together Hardy Boys. ]

Hn. If I were running a similar game, I wouldn't leave three survivors. One is enough.

[ he'll... leave it at that because he's not going to have this conversation right now. ]

Mira's name is here. [ He'll point to the corresponding door, and then also at the jar with her... heart... in it.

He'll make a noise of disgust at how different it is from the rest though??? Mostly because it's disgusting but also because items animalistic and uncouth and what the fuck why are y'all harvesting human hearts. ]

...Dave Strider's heart is missing. As are the... victim's... from last week.

[potentite]

[Jake shuts Omega's drawer - bye Omega, thank you your help - and frowns as he comes closer to look at them.]

Well. Mira did say 'six' but... what happened to the rest?

[pinesfortruth]

First you explode the light, then you talk about how to run a proper murdergame? Seriously, dude? Does anyone in this place know how to not sound like a potential murderer?

[HE IS SO TIRED???]

We've got seven hearts, but ten dead. That had to be her idea, so... what happened to the others one? We're missing... Dave, Marty, and Rachel. Marty and Rachel I can get, they were all. Uh. Torsoed out. But what happened to Dave's?

[and more importantly, TIME TO LOOK FOR WHAT ELSE MIGHT BE IN THIS ROOM because if dipper looks at the hearts some more he might die]

[abhoth]

[ Fun fact: Omega's skull was missing eyes. Spoopy.

The hearts were all neatly organized — as if it was absolutely strategic and purposeful. There was nothing else to note with the morgue freezers, but as they look around, they'll feel a sudden pain in their heads. All of their temples ache with pain the closer they get to the hearts until a deep, guttural voice booms in their heads.

Don't. Touch.

Luckily, Dipper gets the right idea to check things out — seems like the most interesting thing left is.... the exit. ]

[crushcard]

It was an accident.

[ THE LIGHT, AT LEAST. Not the murder game, but hell if he's going to admit to anyone that. ]

Maybe there's a reason why they're not here, if they were... unsuited, for whatever purpose.

[ Guess who's the first casualty of the spoopy voice and the pain? Yeah, this guy, because he was about to make a move to actually take one of the containers to take a closer look at the jars to see if there was anything that could identify who could be behind all this creepy organ harvesting and shit.

Yeah, guess that's not happening when he stumbles back.

Have a muted glare at the heart jars, but he'll motion towards the exit since there's nothing else in the room thank you meta text.]

[potentite]

[Oh jesus christ. Jake covers his ears when it happens, eyes squeezed shut, not that it actually blocks it out. But fuck. Okay. That sure is a sign from above.]

Well. Uh. I guess we should... tell everyone anyway...

[Jake will walk with Dipper just to make sure nothing launches out of the room at him. Look Jake doesn't trust these rooms after Dave got mauled by a monster in one?]

[pinesfortruth]

[dipper just straight up screams, jumps and flails with the flashlight and nearly drops it. he's a winner.]

YEP OKAY LET'S GO, we've seen enough, and this place is gonna stay open anyway let's just go.

[he is dragging jake out tbh HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE HERE LONGER THAN HE HAS TO BYE???]

[crushcard]

[ And Kaiba will bring up the rear just to make sure, before slamming the door shut behind him just because. ]
