( 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!

Thank you for refraining. That'd be really painful.

[willremember]

Yeah. That's... It looks like it hurts.

You good on pain killers?

[pinesfortruth]

Jake tried to give us his entire supply, even though he's totally still missing his leg. [rolls his ... eye] So, we've got some.

[willremember]

Jake's an idiot. [ said fondly, actually. ]

I've got more, if you run out. I'm not trying to give you all of mine or anything. [ holds up... her bandaged arms. she's not looking for pain. ]

But I don't think I need them all.

[pinesfortruth]

... Thanks. I'll ask if it happens. [though that does raise the question--] How'd you get hurt, anyway?

[willremember]

Thought I'd cover more ground with my usual rounds.

Wasn't a great idea.

[pinesfortruth]

Where did you go? The burnt buildings?

[willremember]

Into the fog.

[pinesfortruth]

You went out into the fog? Are you insane??

[that's a weird reaction but ok dipper]

[willremember]

I wanted to see if I could get to some places. It's not that stupid.

[ it was. she accomplished nothing. ]

[pinesfortruth]

I didn't say stupid, I said insane. That fog's not normal. You're lucky you got off just getting hurt, going there on your own without protection!!

[this is clearly the problem]

[willremember]

Nothing here is normal! We need to know everything there is to know. Someone has to at least try to see the rest of it!

Have any better ideas?

[pinesfortruth]

No, I mean, the stuff in the fog-- [he stops abruptly as if deciding against it] --whatever it is, that's not a place you should try going in without some kind of. I don't know, armor.

Anyway, I'm not saying it was a bad idea. I'm saying doing it like that wasn't a great one.

[willremember]

Then how should I do it? How would you do it?

[pinesfortruth]

Just. A little more carefully, to be honest. [dipper you hypocritical fuck] You don't go alone when you don't know what's in something, you don't go without protection, just that kind of stuff.

[willremember]

I had a walkie-talkie. And I don't want to drag someone with me if it's just going to kill both of us instead of just me.

What protection? I need specifics.
