( 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!

Did he mention anywhere he's been wanting to explore? [He's hoping after what happened to every group that went to a burned building, he wouldn't have, but...]

[thawedheart]

[...explore?

Yukina's expression becomes vaguely horrified, at that - she shakes her head slowly, disbelieving.]

He told me... he wouldn't know where to look. And even if he did have somewhere in mind, he promised he'd be careful... why would he go alone?

[potentite]

Maybe he asked someone to come with him? I admit I don't keep track of everyone here well so there could be another amongst us missing with him. But if you have an idea of what he's looking for, you could privately ask Craftly perhaps if there is somewhere he could have found it? [A beat.] Though if you do, don't go out there alone of course.

[thawedheart]

...he promised...

[Yukina's voice is small. A moment later, though, she nods, and takes a deep breath. For all she knows, he could be just fine. He could be with someone else, and they could be keeping each other safe.

Or maybe their luck really is awful and they keep missing each other by coincidence.]

I hope... you're right. If you see him, or... you hear anything about where he might be. Let me know, please?

[potentite]

I will, Yukina. [He reaches out and touches her shoulder.] Don't lose heart too soon, okay? I know I came back, uh, worse for the wear but I still came back even after a week. Though of course I'll keep a weather eye on the horizon for him.

[thawedheart]

[She glances up at him when his hand comes to rest on her shoulder, then nods.]

...thank you. You're right. Sorry for... um, overreacting.

[potentite]

[He smiles.] Think nothing of it. It isn't overreacting here by a long shot. Just try to keep hope alive for now.

[thawedheart]

That's... that's the plan. Thank you very much, Jake-san.
