( 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!

[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]

[splinten]

[No he isn't??? Dipper obviously is just very emotional about stars. Dirk gently pats Dipper's head, mindful of, you know. The horrible injuries.]

We can check 'em out later. Is Mabel's room where you two'll be restin'?

[He does not think they will decide to nap in separate rooms. It seems Very Unlikely.]

[pinesfortruth]

[he loves stars, so much. also lbr dipper and mabel have been sleeping in the same room for a month now they will not change that up after spidergate]

Probably? If we don't just. Pass out over here.

[splinten]

If you pass out here, we'll take you to her room. [There are multiple people of varying levels of adult ready to carry you kids off to somewhere more comfortable ok.]

[pinesfortruth]

Works for me. I...am not sure how great walking is going to go right now.

[normally he'd object but listen. listen. he is tired.]

[splinten]

There's a chance it might not go optimally. [Just a chance.] Luckily, Percival can probably deadlift the two of you at once.

[pinesfortruth]

..... I'd be okay with that.

[plus it's not like it would be the. first time. someone deadlifted both twins.]

Jay said you guys had pizza? What the heck, guys.

[splinten]

We were given pizza at the execution right after you were ripped away from us.

[WHICH LIKE. WHAT THE FUCK]

I was not super hungry.

[pinesfortruth]

We get attacked by a giant man-eating spider for the second time the day we have a pizza party? Come on.

[he's trying to. cheer dirk up a little.]

Uncool.

[splinten]

The uncoolest.

[Dipper is so sweet. He is trying hard.]

I heard someone saved you a few slices.

[pinesfortruth]

... I will take those slices but I am not happy about this.

[it is just rude on craftly's part ok]

[splinten]

Damn right, dude. Hold to your righteous anger and let it fuel you.

[RAGE TO LET YOU FIGHT THE HEAVENS.]

[pinesfortruth]

I think my righteous anger is going to only fuel me to be really mean to spiders for a while.

[splinten]

You didn't strike me as the torture-spiders sort.

[pinesfortruth]

This is what this place has driven me to. [a beat] I guess at least this giant man-eating spider didn't talk.

[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!

[splinten]

[Dirk gently guides her arm back to her side, please.]

I'm actually pretty badass at arts and craft. I used to sew my own—[smuppets UHHH]—stuffed animals at home. Your encouragement led me to try to master new avenues in the field.

[He means he's glad she likes it.]

[pinesforyou]

Oooh, you're so complicated. [nah, she's just going to flop onto him and hug him]

[it's a good thing he didn't say puppets]

Yeah? I wanna see your stuffed animals! Make one for me!

[splinten]

[There there, pat pat] Sure. What kind of stuffed animal do you want?

[pinesforyou]

A tiger! No, a dragon! A dragiger!

[it's too much effort to move so she's going to lie on his chest, or stomach, or whatever body part her face is at]

[splinten]

[Sure go for it Mabel.]

A dragon-tiger hybrid. Got it. I'll start work right away.

[pinesforyou]

Eye'm looking forward to seeing your work.

[mabel


no]

Get it???

[splinten]

That was so bad.

[HE LOOKS LIKE HE IS TRYING TO RESIST A SMILE]

[pinesforyou]

I'm unappreciated in my time....

[dramatic sigh]
