MINGLE LOG

We're back, everybody! Fresh week, fresh house, fresh murder. It is indeed a fresh house as when people wake on Monday morning they'll see that — everything is fixed! The windows, the table, whatever property damage that was inflicted last week is all cleaned up and reset. There is no SOS on the roof anymore. None of that. Anyone who stayed up all night on Sunday will have seen the mannequins diligently cleaning and repairing the house during the course of the night, finished by dawn. Yay!

They've also opened a new room in the house. A cleaning room — there is a washing machine, dryer, and various cleaning supplies in the room. Mops and brooms and dustpans and swiffers and all sorts of things! There's even a basket for collecting dirty laundry too.

And then in the morning, they bring in a few things to note, dumping it all in the living room.

• A assortment of feminine clothing — dresses, skirts, blouses, etc
• Included in that pile of clothing are twenty-five sailor uniforms of various sizes
• Make up! Quite a bit — enough to last the rest of the time
• So many packs of underwear. You had underwear last week but like, this is better
• A tablet with Candy Crush and Infinity Nikki on it. There is nothing else accessible on it. There's a sticky note on the cover that says FOR ECHINACEA
• A gun with one bullet is on the coffee table
• A spear is laid across the coffee table as well

That said, it doesn't seem like the food restocked. Huh...

[ .... he has so many questions about this. He's just staring at the cup, like... is this alchemy? Is that what's happening here? ]

Truthfully, I do not have that much confidence. It is just as like to wind up a purely symbolic gesture.

[Stirring it all in with a spoon before taking a sip of what is more of a concoction than a cup of coffee.]

There's nothing wrong with giving something a try. You'll learn a little more about our fellow housemates this way.

Thinking practically, are you? Though I would advise for closer bonds for their own sake, it cannot be denied that knowledge about each other's habits might mark the difference between life and death later on.

[ ... she's really drinking it. He keeps waiting for some kind of Effect to take route. Or maybe for her to realize what she is doing and feel sick. ]

It's a habit of mine... At this point, it would be difficult not to think practically.

[She doesn't even look sick, she just keeps sipping away at it like it's a completely normal cup of coffee.]

A temperament that will serve you well under these adverse circumstances.

[ Okay. This is it. He can't not ask. ]

Is this way of preparing it a... secret recipe of yours?
