( 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, I wish you guys could be quicker about offing each other. Then I'd be out of here by now.

[nowyouseeit]

. . .

Well, that's a pleasant way to put it.

{thanks, Velvet]

[breaksouls]

Hey, at least I haven't killed anyone here.

[nowyouseeit]

[dryly]

Congratulations, d'you want a medal?

[breaksouls]

No, I'm still waiting on my sticker honestly.

[nowyouseeit]

[a laugh]

Mabel's got those, if I remember right.

[breaksouls]

Yeah, I still want one. They're kinda cute.

[nowyouseeit]

[reaches into his pocket]

[pulls out a "you tried" sticker]

Yeah, the are kinda cute. I'll give 'em that.

[EVEN IF HIS IS INSULTING]

[breaksouls]

... Can I have it?

[nowyouseeit]

Wha-- no way! It's mine.

[it is proof that he tried really hard to arm wrestle a murderer and failed]

[breaksouls]

Can I have it when you die?

[nowyouseeit]

[VELVET]

. . .

Yeah sure, why not? I'll write you a will and everything.

[breaksouls]

Thanks.

[And she smiles? It's a bit smug, but it's a smile all the same.]

[nowyouseeit]

[. . . . . . . she's cute when she smiles?? even if her bluntness about death and dying is a bit, uh. uh]

You're welcome.

[breaksouls]

By the way, I'm not gonna kill you to get it or something... I'm fine with waiting.

[nowyouseeit]

Y'know, strangely enough, despite how eager you were to kill people when we all first got here?

That thought never crossed my mind.

[breaksouls]

There's no point in killing anyone this early if it means I'll be executed. Even I realize that. "Battles are won and lost with the preparations made before the first strike."

[The way she says it makes it seem as if she's reciting something.]

[nowyouseeit]

[wha]

All right, but I wouldn't exactly call this a battle. Would you?

[breaksouls]

We're fighting against each other and those who brought us here, aren't we?
