( 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!

connect four.

he shakes the box invitingly?? ]

[disinterested]

[my god]

... Did you steal that from Kaito?

[ninjay]

Why do all of you keep accusing me of stealing? I'm borrowing it from Kaito.

[ he just didn't ask permission to borrow it?? anyway he's sitting down. ]

[disinterested]

[uh-huh]

You seem like the type to "borrow" without permission. [...] In any case, I assume you're not here to play a game by yourself.

[ninjay]

If you need me to move your pieces for you, let me know.

[ since, you know, the gpa thing seems to be terrible. he starts setting the game up without waiting for girge to agree to it. ]

[disinterested]

[wow thanks.]

You must be bored.

[ninjay]

I'm a very gracious individual who is kind enough to spend my valuable time with those in need.

[ look, you can even be red, girge? it goes with your hair. ]

[disinterested]

[... thanks???]

With such compassion, it's a mystery as to why anyone would accuse you of arson or murder.

[ninjay]

It was just the arson part, I think.

[ he frowns, before sliding a black piece into the thing. ]

[disinterested]

I'm sure someone's suspected you of murder, even if just in their head.

[Also:]

Center column, if you will.

[ninjay]

It is on my profile, as I've been regularly reminded.

[ and a red goes in the center, where it's followed by a black. ]

Considering you know how to play, I'm assuming Kaito somehow got a game out of you?

[disinterested]

[Girge requests another move, don't make me play actual Connect Four please—]

I took pity on him.

[ninjay]

Did you beat him?

[ that is the most important question here. ]

[disinterested]

You really enjoy seeing his ego crushed, don't you?

[ninjay]

I can be very competitive!

[ what a shock. ]

It turns out he can be too.

[disinterested]

I'm amazed you managed to get anything done.

[ninjay]

I think that shows how skilled we are, actually. You can be good at more than just one thing, you know.

[ like kicking butt at connect four. ]

[disinterested]

Do you devote that much time to enhancing your... Connect Four skills?

[ninjay]

No, that I'm just good at in general.

[ he's very full of himself. sorry. ]
