( 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!

[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.]

[pinesfortruth]

Yes, Girge, thank you for asking. The right way to do it is when you don't flick the switch so violently the light bulbs explode.

[he will take all opportunities to shame kaiba tbh]

[disinterested]

[uh]

Good thing I'm not in the habit of slamming switches on, then. You'd think someone with "technology" on their profile would know better.

[pinesfortruth]

You would think that, but you would be wrong. Because he did not. And the light bulbs exploded.

[disinterested]

Maybe he should learn some anger management.

[pinesfortruth]

I'll tell Mabel to pin him in for a fingerpainting appointment.

[disinterested]

It's rather therapeutic, if utterly pointless.

[pinesfortruth]

I feel like that's the actual definition of art.

[disinterested]

... How would she react if you said that to her face?

[pinesfortruth]

[makes a shrug and a "i 'unno" noise]

Why would she be mad? Something doesn't need to have a purpose for it to be fun.

[disinterested]

... Well, I guess not. You don't seem very much like a "fun" type of person, though.

[pinesfortruth]

You haven't met a lot of non-adults in your life, have you.

[he doesn't usually like to call attention to his age but. girge plz he's 12]

[disinterested]

[he was killing people when he was younger than you?? ... in a non-psycho way???]

Can't say I have, no. Care to enlighten me?

[pinesfortruth]

Okay. Fun is a thing people like to have when they're not sociopaths. Especially when they're younger.

[did you think he'd let it go, girge. no. no he will not let it go]

[disinterested]

[wow child]

Must've missed that memo when I was your age.

[pinesfortruth]

You missed the whole book on empathy and emotions, but Mabel's got those in spades. It might work out.

[doesn't even sound like he believes it a little bit]

[disinterested]

[more like he actually did his best to follow that book as a kid until he went I HATE THIS BOOK and set it on fire]

You're willing to let your sister hang around a sociopath?

[pinesfortruth]

In the public eye with a decent amount of supervision. Besides, Mabel can take care of herself. She punched a unicorn in the face.

[she will not hesitate to stab a bitch, girge, watch out]

[disinterested]

[that's good, he can appreciate a person who won't hesitate to stab someone??]

I'll keep that in mind. Maybe she'll get the opportunity to punch a monster here.

[pinesfortruth]

I'd rather she do it from further away than a punch? Like a javelin or something.

[disinterested]

I'm sure you could craft one.

[pinesfortruth]

Should you be this okay with Mabel having a javelin?

[disinterested]

Well, I guess it'd be better if she never had to use it.

But wouldn't you rather she be able to protect herself if she had to?

[pinesfortruth]

I'm the one who came up with it, why would I be against it? Your quick acceptance just surprised me is all.

[disinterested]

How were you expecting me to respond?
