( 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!

Yeah but you don't need to read all of them. I don't think you'll find that by looking at the children's section. For example.

[and then he's distracted by the eyepatch, looking unsure as to whether he should take it or not]

Oh. Um. Where'd you get that?

[lohengrins]

Studying a society's literature reveals more about them than you can imagine.

[ he begins to twirl the eyepatch a bit. sorry, he's got enough energy to last him a lifetime today. ]

I requested them, just as I said I would.

[pinesfortruth]

I guess you're right? Isn't the society here just... early American era, but with bonus cult?

[he says like percival would even know what that means.]

You didn't have to. I mean, I technically already had one-- [that he requested, unrelated to this] and we could've asked for them ourselves.

[lohengrins]

[ his brows knit with confusion. ] I'll need you to describe what exactly America is, first.

[ the eyepatch is tossed upwards and then promptly caught, as though it were a rubber ball. ] Does it matter? I already requested them. If you won't take it, I'll have to give your sister a spare.

[pinesfortruth]

It's a. Country. Hm. [fair point] The United States of America? This place is supposedly somewhere in it? But everything's stuck in a different era then I'm used to.

[he follows it as it goes up and down and-- okay] No, it's. Not what I meant? I just didn't expect it, that's all. Thank you?

[lohengrins]

The United States? So it's a country compromised of...other states? [ what in tarnation. ]

I did say I would do it. [ the eyepatch is gestured towards dipper. ] More importantly, how are you feeling today?

[pinesfortruth]

... Yes. It's a lot less complicated than it sounds? [no, it isn't.]

Like I've got a hole in my head I don't want to acknowledge. Kind of itches? [dipper's just going to take the eyepatch away from percival so he stops playing with it, oh my god]
