( 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!

INFO SHARING: organ dlc edition, monday evening

[pinesfortruth]

[so after That adventure, Dipper's not waiting to make his announcement. You probably heard that sharp whistle meant to grab your attention, and also he might have dragged Jake along. sorry jake. rip. once enough people are around, he'll clear his throat]

Alright guys, the Disposal Room is open, probably because of... the Ghost dying and talking about it, knowing this place. The light is busted because Kaiba doesn't know how to flick on a switch. [did you think he'd let it go, kaiba. no.] I'd recommend keeping out of it until that's fixed. It's a morgue, and yes, the bodies of our dead are in there-- but they're kind of ... in pieces. If you value your lunches, do not look at those. Seriously.

[he's getting a little green just talking about it. oops.]

There are forty-one morgue freezers in there, but the only ones labelled so far are all our dead, so your guess is as good as mine as to why there's one missing. [he says, like he doesn't have a theory and everyone knows it] The hearts are held in separate jars, and since Mira collected those that's probably... why. Gross and creepy for the whole family. [you can tell he is so, so tired, guys.] There were seven hearts in jars total-- Marty's and Rachel's were missing for, uh, obvious messed up reasons, but... we're also missing Dave Strider's heart. [@ dave sorry????]

Oh, yeah, also, if you go in there, do not touch anything. It turns out "Mother" or whatever can see in there and she does not want us messing with it. Crazy demon voice stuff. Super cool.

[he is... winding down and just shrugs in acceptance]

So. Um. Yep, that's it from me. Cool gore and stuff. [a beat] Oh, and we checked and no one was missing any teeth or fingers, so that's a horrifying mystery still ongoing. I'm gonna go have nightmares in my room now.

[inventurous]

[ oh how interesting the disp-- A MORGUE?? HEARTS?? ]

Why would Dave's be missing? [ yeah that's. the most concerning thing save dave strider?? or at least his heart wtf. ] Thank you, Dipper, for telling is. It sounds like it was... sure something. There being one missing freezer would make me think that maybe one of us isn't... one of us, I suppose.

[ is there anything here that's not a nightmare ]

[pinesfortruth]

[this is yuggoth, everything is a nightmare.]

I don't know. His heart wasn't involved in anything else, but... he's also the only non-ritual kill, right? He was killed outside of the game rules. [that's the best he can come up with.]

It might mean that one of us is a vessel for "Mother", yeah. That's what I've been thinking.[should you be saying that out loud, dipper...]

[potentite]

I, uh, didn't see Omega's eyes, too. But I admit I wasn't looking too closely to see if they were... around...

[Look he's just saying they weren't where they should be and not immediately visible in a jar or something, so, uh. They might be around?? And not vanished like Dave's heart?? Maybe???]

[pinesfortruth]

[coughs]

Hmmm, yep, okay, I might've missed that by refusing to look at the... leftover bodies. At all. [let him live he is 12 and doesn't need this shit] Alright, so. Eyes. Eyes. What could eyes mean? Did she see something? Or is it because she killed herself instead of being murdered?

[splinten]

[This is fine. Dirk is fine.

JK Dirk just punched a wall really hard and then pressed his forehead against it.]

[pinesfortruth]

[wincing at first but then he tries, weakly:]

I mean... at least that means it wasn't collected by an evil ancient demonic entity who calls herself mommy?

[potentite]

[It's okay Jake will just rub his back for him.]

[nowyouseeit]

[holy shit. HE ACTUALLY APPRECIATES THE WAY DIPPER PUTS THIS, TOO. it's so. real]

. . .

Soooo who wants to take bets on "Mother" using these body parts for some kind of creepy demonic sacrifice?

[crushcard]

Isn't that what was implied last week at trial?

[pinesfortruth]

It's not a real bet if we all know the answer to that one.

[crushcard]

[ STOP SHADING HIM DIPPER, OH MY GOD. ]

I asked for the lights to be fixed.

[pinesfortruth]

Cool, thanks. Just try not to break them next time, buddy.

[he will never stop shading]

[ninjay]

... I already expected it to be bad in there, but that's even worse than I thought.

[ and why is no one missing their damn fingers. jay rubs his head, sighing. ]

[pinesfortruth]

At least it wasn't all hanging out? I kind of expected it to be all hanging out. We had to really look for those organs.

Which is a sentence I have never wanted to say ever before in my life, yet here I am.

[rextenebrae]

[ Well, that's...that certainly happened--he'll just give a stiff nod upon hearing all of this and listen to majority of the conversation, before speaking up a bit. ]

Thank you for informing us. I imagine it wasn't easy, given that the scene you saw couldn't be any less than disturbing...

[pinesfortruth]

It's super gross, but I've seen organs in jars before? Also left the freezer stuff to the other guys. That helped.

[fauxtetsu]

[ First off: ]

...Im glad I have the answer to why Mira regretted never "collecting" me.

[ A visible wince though because that's not right at all. ]

Thanks for the info, at the risk of the horrors stuck in your head now.

Maybe the fingers are leftover from a previous ritual?

[pinesfortruth]

Yeesh. You dodged a bullet there, alright.

[he hums in thought]

Yeah, I considered that. Just... old body parts they've got just hanging around. The only thing that seems off is why show them to us if it's not relevant?

[pinesfortruth]

"Don't touch", in the tone of voice adults use when they're really mad about you coming close to touching something valuable and are this close to throwing you out of the building.

[that. seems oddly specific an example.]

So. You know. Kinda mad about it.

[blacktailed]

Did the pieces seem to be significant? Different body parts are usually used for different purposes when it comes to magic.

[eyes, hearts, tongues, bones. blood was universal, though.]

[crushcard]

Different parts were missing from different people.

Jason Todd's tongue was missing.

[pinesfortruth]

They were all there except for the hearts, which were in jars, and Omega's eyes were missing? Maybe something else was, we didn't stick around that long. But every one of them was just... cut up.

[disinterested]

[Everyone else is asking about everything else, so out of curiosity:]

Is there a right way to flick on a switch?

[... he's never had to deal with a light switch until this place.]
