( 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!

[aha! he perks up happily at the mention of chess]

'Course. I'm a pretty darn good chess player, if I do say so myself.

[hoarding the red pieces for himself, Kaito deposits one into the holey game board]

[rextenebrae]

[ He's never liked bright colors and if there was purple pieces he'd be all for it. Still, he takes the yellow ones because he does have no preference in between the two. ]

Hmm, that makes sense. You seem rather good at thinking things through.

[ He'll put one in after Kaito does. ]

[nowyouseeit]

I spend a lot of time thinking things through back home.

[well. some things. not everything]

'Sides, chess is really a battle of wits. Those are my favorite kinda fights.

[rextenebrae]

I feel the same.

[ ... ]

Are you a fan of riddles as well, Kaito? Since it does require quite the wit.

[nowyouseeit]

I am. Although, heh. I've gotta admit, I prefer coming up with riddles more'n I like solving them.

[magicians weave mysteries, after all. that's his favorite part]

[rextenebrae]

[ That's another thing they have in common, it seems. ]

That's quite understandable. It's a bit more fun that way.

[nowyouseeit]

I'm a magician. Call it. . . something that comes with the profession.

[his profession as a magician, and not at all as a thief]
