( 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!

That... makes a little more sense than what Dave had explained, I guess.

[ dave was really bad at explaining things. ]

[potentite]

Dave's aspect is Time, so he probably had a rather intimate knowledge of all the perplexing shenanigans at play. But that might have made it more difficult to explain in laymen's terms.

[Meanwhile Jake is just like "idefk dude."]

Dave told Dirk we're from a doomed timeline, a dead end basically. So, probably, we were also always destined to fail to help another timeline succeed? Some such nonsense. I readily admit I haven't the wits for these matters.

[ninjay]

I see.

[ he doesn't see. but dave did talk about timelines a bit, so jay has a general idea that... things are weird. ]

So there's another version of you out there, still playing that game.

[potentite]

I assume so, which makes my life extra pointless, even more pointless than dying previously made it.

[But he's not really that broken up about it since he figured his existence was worthless anyway. Thank god for no self-esteem.]

[ninjay]

I wouldn't exactly call it pointless, Jake.

[potentite]

Ah...

[He pauses.] I just meant... I don't want to die. Um, I mean, I've never been that sort. And I especially don't want to die here and leave Dirk alone. But... it's not as though we actually have a life to return to. We'd just... go back to being dead. Or maybe stop existing? I don't know.

[Timelines are weird.]

I don't want it to be pointless.

[ninjay]

Yuggoth is definitely not the best choice for someone's second [ or third. or fourth?? ] chance at life.

[ bringing the dead here to play the game is probably more cruel than bringing the living. ]

We'll see.
