( 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!

[Yukina... you haven't seen anything, in terms of Light losing his composure. This is just the tip of the iceberg, and at least he's cognizant enough of his own composure (despite the pain shooting through his arm) to not let it completely slip.]

You...

[He wants to say How can you not see them? They're right there. but his rational mind is kicking into overdrive. His thoughts reflect hers, they can't be real. But they hurt.]

...I know. No one else has noticed them. [He straightens, and with visible effort pulls his sleeve down.] But they hurt, Yukina-chan. It's distracting.

[thawedheart]

...I know it must be...

[She likely isn't feeling the same thing he is. The itch on her forehead, the feeling of an eye twitching in its socket, so far from where it ought to be, is distraction enough - but not painful, the way his seems to be.]

Is there... anything that can be done, you think...? [He said teeth. Maybe if he gets them something to eat, it will be enough to appease the beasts in his own mind? ...no, feeding his arm would be silly.]

[godly]

[His response is an immediate shake of his head. And only if you want to shatter his pride into a million tiny pieces to you want to suggest feeding his arm, Yukina.

He picks up the card he had dropped, brow still knitted out of pain, but his composure is slowly coming back to him, much like a tide returning to shore. He offers it back to her.]

I doubt it. It's just a matter of waiting, like usual.

[He can't imagine what it'll be like later, and it's only Tuesday.]

[thawedheart]

[She will spare his pride and not offer to feed his weird arm-mouths.

It's probably better that way.]

Perhaps, but... [It doesn't seem fair. Nothing seems fair, really, and the sooner she accepts that, the better.] ...well, let's keep playing. [She indicates the cards.] A distraction might help...
