( 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's like... the least of it? Gnomes, zombies, ghosts-- anything you can think of, it's real and it's out there. They're concentrated in a sleepy town in Oregon, but there's some elsewhere, too.

[nowyouseeit]

. . .

Are you gonna grow up to be a professional supernatural being hunter, then?

[it's like. a half-joking question, and a half-serious one]

[pinesfortruth]

... Maybe? It'd be cool and all. We're kind of in the middle of the apocalypse right now, so, that depends on how that goes. I'd also accept hosting my own ghost hunting show.

[nowyouseeit]

[wow]

You sure are talking about the apocalypse like it's only a minor inconvenience and not a huge world-changing thing.

[these fuckin' kids]

[he's so glad they're okay]

[pinesfortruth]

It kind of is a big deal. It's the end of the world. But Mabel and I are going to stop it if we make it back, and if we don't we're dead and so is our entire universe, so. You know. I try not to think about it too much.

[but also after all this he is just going to. punch bill in the face.]

[nowyouseeit]

Ah. . .

N-no pressure, right?

[he's trying to keep this light]

[pinesfortruth]

A little pressure, but this place is worse. At least I know who and what I'm fighting during Weirdmageddon. [he waves that off]

[nowyouseeit]

. . .

I'm not even gonna bother asking why it's called that.

[pinesfortruth]

[he will explain anyway!!!]

Reality unraveled and weird stuff's happening a lot. It's kind of a long story.

[nowyouseeit]

Don't bother with the long story right now. You two need to get some rest.

[pinesfortruth]

That's why I said it was a long story. [please he is holding himself awake by sheer force of will and leftover adrenaline]

[nowyouseeit]

[which is exactly how Kaito felt when he had his shoulder impaled, yeah]

Go, then. Get back to your room. Take a nice, long nap.

[don't let him hold you up, Dipper]

[pinesfortruth]

I'd normally think you were being condescending, but I think I'm literally going to pass out for seventeen hours.

[nowyouseeit]

[aha]

And if I said that under normal circumstances, you might actually be right.

[but no. this time, he's actually legitimately concerned and isn't being condescending at all :(]

[pinesfortruth]

Weird to hear you be so nice, Shades. [he looks droopy and he actually does droop on his sister] We can pretend this entire interaction never happened later, if you want.

[nowyouseeit]

[he pauses, then shrugs]

Nah. It's not embarrassing enough for me to wipe from memory.

[he smiles, a genuine smile]

Take care of yourself, Disco Girl.
