( MINGLE - WEEK 5 )

[abhoth]

SURVIVORS: ?? 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 motel, it seems like the Kitchen, Dining Hall and Disposal room are still under constructions. Meals will be served in the Pool/Outdoor Dining Area in the meantime. How quaint. As a reminder, we are now accepting murder proposals for Week 5! 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. Without any murders we can't have a murdergame, 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!

NIGHT TERRORS

[abhoth]

[ Promptly at 7:00 AM on Monday morning, each resident will awaken as if their consciousness was not under their own control. No matter how well you slept or how snug you are in your bed, your eyes snap awake and your body feels full of energy. If you and your roommate glance to the front door of your room, you'll find a silver platter. Upon further inspection, there seems to be a folded envelope.

Dear residents,

Another week has begun and because of that, I must inform you of another challenge. This week you will see visions of those you hold dear. They will be injured, maimed and perhaps even killed. Though no one else will share these visions with you, in your heart you know them to be true. Your loved ones are in great peril. Surely, they will perish without your aid... But do not fret: we have a proposition for you. Give us a death this week, and secure their lives for eternity.

Wash up. Breakfast will be served by the pool.

[ And like clockwork, characters will begin to gradually develop vivid hallucinations. They will see their loved ones get maimed or murdered by an unidentifiable assailant. As the week progresses, the hallucinations will become worse. One possible evolution of the night terror is seeing the face of one of their fellow survivors on the assailant. Another possibility is having the mangled corpses of their loved ones follow them around, whispering in their ear how they failed to save them. In all cases, the hallucinations will become more explicit and gruesome by the end of the week. And for those who have no loved ones in their canon, you're free to play around with who the character will see get injured/killed. The night terrors will only stop after someone has been murdered on Friday. ]
