( 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!

Monday - Post 6pm

[pinesfortruth]

[in the hallway outside the executive suite, there is a mess of things: the missing Pines twins, bloody and missing an eye each, Dirk, who bodily carried them there, Heather in her wheelchair and Quer with acid wounds all over the place.

You don't need to see it to know this mess is happening though, because you can hear Dipper's voice from pretty far away]

Siamese twins, Mabel? That's the first thing you come up with?! A giant spider ate OUR EYES!

[pinesforyou]

[Mabel's still smushing her mutilated face against his]

[she is awfully chipper for someone who was kidnapped and mutilated and lost an eye]

Hey, at least it wasn't a spider lady pretending to be a regular lady and flirting with Grunkle Stan this time!

[lohengrins]

[ percival comin through with that first aid kit. there are barely any bandages left, but they'll have to make do. ]

You can explain later. We need to do something about all of you. Twins, raise your heads. Someone get some ice, now.

[pinesfortruth]

1) What is with giant, man-eating spiders. What is with that. 2) THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT BETTER, we're still bleeding!

[blacktailed]

[there's a soft hiss of pain when she tries moving her fingers, and she ends up just pressing the side of one of her sleeves to the burn by her lips. there's still spider gunk under her nails and staining her cuffs, but she's not as bad as the twins are.

they're the ones who need to be seen to first, after all. she's just resting against the wall to make sure everything pans out okay.]

At least you two are well enough for shouting.

[lohengrins]

You idiot -- why do you...ugh. Hold out your hands, I'll be getting to you in a moment.

[pinesfortruth]

[if dipper isn't shouting he is dead? thats how that works]

Thanks for-- however it is you killed it? It sort of looked like you ate part of it, and I'm just not going to address that if it's true because I'm just glad it's dead.

[it was kind of hard to. see.]

[pinesforyou]

No matter how badly off I am, I'll always be well enough to shout! I wouldn't want to deprive the world of my beautiful voice.

[ok]

So, um..... you eat giant spiders, huh? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but....

[how is that appetizing]

[ninjay]

[ well that's a familiar voice. jay will be showing up after the twins have been dumped outside the suite. once he sees them he's just going to... cross his arms over his chest, like a disappointed parent. ]

Dipper. Mabel.

[pinesforyou]

Hi Jay!

[Don't make that face at her????]

Sorry about the whole... Getting kidnapped and mutilated by a giant spider thing.

[pinesfortruth]

[the mix of jay's disappointed face and also, Everything, just makes him tear up again

though he is trying to look angry. it's fine he is crying from the PAIN and nothing else]

I hate this place.

[wristbands]

[ either alone or with jay idek BUT AT SOME POINT chie is approaching, kneeling down, and hugging both of them together pretty tightly

dipper gets the arm without a hand ]

[pinesfortruth]

[he lets himself be squashed]

Hi, Chie. [...] Please keep your stump away from the-- mess, that's probably how you get blood diseases?

[pinesforyou]

......

[she's gonna hug her back just as tightly]

Sorry if we scared you.

[disinterested]

[Well, this is... unexpected.

Surprise flickers across Girge's face for a moment, before he's just

not sure how to react, as he stands at a distance.

Huh.]

[pinesforyou]

Hey!! Girge!

[WAVES WILDLY]

Check it out! I'm a cyclops!

[wait she's sore and it hurts]

--Ow. Ow.

[pinesfortruth]

[huh. girge is here.

he doesn't do the whole wave thing but he will nod in acknowledgment that he saw him]

[rextenebrae]

[ ... What even.

At least they're alive, but he'll just look on, as they're attended to. Unlike most here, the words have been taken from his mouth (or they've already been spoken.) ]

[pinesforyou]

[WAVES!!!!]

[and then winces]

Ow, ow.

[splinten]

[After a little while, Dirk goes away with a word that he won't be gone long. True to his word, he comes back a short while later with something in his hands: two stars cut out from paper and coloured yellow. There is glitter on both.

He hands one to each twin.]

I don't have stickers.

[pinesfortruth]

[by the time he comes back, the twins have gotten Medical Attention, so they have nice gauze over their faces instead of the bloody... holes.

and somehow dirk giving dipper the star makes him tear up again, though he kind of. laughs, too.]

They're in our room. The-- The stickers. [he rubs at his eye] But, um. Thanks.

[he is obviously talking about more than the star]

[pinesforyou]

Dirk, you rapscallion!

[she tries to give him a goodnatured punch but alas pain and messed up depth perception means she misses entirely]

You made your own stickers! You're learning how to arts and crafts!

[nowyouseeit]

[at some point after Percival has looked them over, Kaito will be approaching too. he's never been so relieved to see the both of them]

What the heck?! Don't disappear on us like that again!

[Kaito it's not their fault, chill??]

[pinesfortruth]

Are you... blaming us for getting kidnapped right now???

[pinesforyou]

Hey! We didn't do it on purpose!

[she apologized to everyone else but Kaito just made her defensive okay]
