( 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!

They were magical candy lollipops that no one knew would do that, so I don't blame Jane for startin' it. Jake and Roxy then had it shoved on them against their will by Jane, who was already way out of her own sane mind. No one was really themselves when Trickster Mode took over, except me because Heart is the dumbest goddamned power.

[Or... it was clinical depression? He's never sure. He's going to say it was a Heart thing and not tell Dipper, 'or maybe i just hated myself too much to truly get magic alien high.']

For the record, you are doing way better than any drug PSAs I've ever seen on the whole "drugs are bad" spiel.

[that's what he got from that.]

[splinten]

[You know what. He'll take it.]

I'm going to consider that a compliment. [He doesn't like mind-altering substances?? Roxy had problems, the lollipops were crazy. Drugs are not cool.]

[pinesfortruth]

It is. There's like, a gajillion cartoon versions of anti-drug PSAs.

[splinten]

I did some archival reading on it, but mostly the "This is your brain on drugs" series.

[pinesfortruth]

Oooh, yeah, those old ones were harsh. Like the one with the egg? That one was a bit much.

[splinten]

My Bro did a great reference to it in one of his films. [This is plausible to assume about the SBAHJ films and you fucking know it.] That commercial seemed like something of an overreaction to the situation, when the best forms of drug crime reduction comes through cultural shifts in treatments towards drug users to encourage recovery and support, rather than preventative scare-tactics.

[pinesfortruth]

... Probably? [dipper is all about over-analysis but not. for that subject. sorry dirk.] I just know the cartoon crossover was the worst. It all feels kind of condescending.

[splinten]

[Give Dirk literally any topic and he will overanalyse it.] That doesn't surprised me if it was aimed at kids. Adults constantly underestimate them. [which is RUDE]

[pinesfortruth]

You're telling me.

[dipper Suffers, okay. he suffers so much]
