Week 5: April 29th - May 3rd



Fifth Week
Everything's getting worse. Rose Nylund and Frasier Crane murdered Jughead Jones during the event Jughead worked so hard to organize. Given some of the townspeople were in attendance, it didn't give a good impression -- if the visitors did this when trying to be good people and get along with Cartesio, then how will they behave once they get into destroying everything? The cruel method of Jughead's death also left everyone quite horrified, too.

That may be why it's no surprise the town's quiet unrest is slowly turning into real, tangible fury.

During the week, from time to time stones break some of the windows of the motel, looking outside shows a random passerby running away. Graffiti is left on the walls: 'SEE IF YOU LIKE THIS' 'MURDERERS' 'YOU'RE GOING TO DESTROY US ALL', and other similar messages. Some of the store owners hesitate when the visitors approach, but they don't refuse service because money is always nice.

The Sergeant's pervasive influence is starting to cover not only you, but also the entire town of Cartesio. After all, everything that's happening to you and the motel? It's the result of what you and the other visitors have done.

In the lobby of the motel there's a few more brochures, and the maps have been updated once again.

[In her very slight defense, she didn't leave her room Thursday night...]

Don't think every death boils down t'people just bein' stupid, anyway. ...'Cept the killers, obviously, but.

Mgh... you definitely got a point there. But it's about all I got to work with, y'know? It's not like we can do anythin' else to 'im, or to stop 'im.

You'd be surprised. I've seen a lot of people get killed by being stupid...
streetwolf: (1947 - manga hmph)

[personal profile] streetwolf 2018-11-02 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
...I don't think there is either. The old bastards got a way of getting what he wants.

Sure. That's true in a lotta cases. But I mean here, specifically.

Pray for me, I guess. I'll put in a good word with the Goddess for you, too.

Why would it be a challenge?

[THE HUMOR IS LOST ON HIM HERE....]
integratedsoul: (with this rattling ribcage)

[personal profile] integratedsoul 2018-11-03 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Uh...

[ How does she... explain this...? Regret about making a joke: rising. She's so embarrassed?? ]

I was just kidding, I wouldn't really... I am really not gonna make it weird.

[ Even if the thought of Keith in full make-up glory is amusing. Cian is just gonna busy herself finding a foundation in Keith's skin-tone now... ]
marmoron: by request of the icon creator, pls do not take (ehh)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-03 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
....oh.

[How is he supposed to respond to this???]

Ha...ha...?

[...Actually now he just wants to crawl into a hole. He;ll just look away now.]
odasaku: (67)

[personal profile] odasaku 2018-11-03 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it is.

[ now, even if it'll look a bit irregular, at least they won't have to deal with being reminded of what the sergeant has basically forced them to go through. ]

Tea'd be nice, actually. It'll help me warm up a bit.
integratedsoul: (that watching you)

[personal profile] integratedsoul 2018-11-03 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ No, Keith can't crawl into a hole if Cian gets there first! This was a mistake!! Hearing Keith try to humor her is just about the worst thing and she just irrationally wants to apologize. Instead she grabs some cream foundation and turns back.

It's time to simply return to business! It's fine. ]


Can you give me your arm? I need to see which tone is closer to your skin's shade.
integratedsoul: (so i just stay out of the way)

[personal profile] integratedsoul 2018-11-03 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ah... here's a tired smile in greeting. ]

We can't really fix stuff even if we talk about it, isn't that right? Even for our minds. When someone tried to have therapy for all of us, he just killed someone instead.

[ Frasier, why. ]
marmoron: (more resting bitchface)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-03 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Look, pals. He wouldn't have to be a nosy guy if your cops weren't paying selective attention!!]

Not a toe out of line, got it.

[And jeez, is he so threatening that they gotta have two people watch over him...]

Lead the way.
marmoron: by request of the icon creator, pls do not take (contemplative)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-03 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Yes good, Cian. TAKE THE WHEEL.]

...sure.

[Keith will roll up his sleeve and hold his arm out for her scrutiny. He's still looking away, manages to lock eyes with Cosmo who just stares right back at him. Somehow even maintaining that piece of eye contact is awkward.

Quick, Keith. Think of a topic, any topic.

This is nice weather we're having.

You want to play nurse?

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-11-03 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Shouldn’t the question be whether or not someone should play nurse?
amburere: (₦ł₦Ɇ₮ɆɆ₦)

[personal profile] amburere 2018-11-03 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Does it look like I need one?

[ Holding up his hands again. Cause she does have a point, it's hard to stitch your own hands. But his stitches are actually done pretty well. ]

[personal profile] amburere 2018-11-03 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ He shifts at that, hands rustling in his pockets. ]

Intentional? Or some bullshit?
robitussin: (pic#12583051)

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-11-03 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[She gives them a closer look, tilting her head.]

You did that yourself?
robitussin: (pic#12531896)

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-11-03 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
If you’re asking whether or not she meant it or if she was just fucking with me, she sincerely didn’t know who I was.

[There’s more to the story, of course, but she leaves it at that for the moment.]
amburere: (₣ØɄⱤ₮Ɏ-₦ł₦Ɇ)

[personal profile] amburere 2018-11-03 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ That earns her a lazy grin and equally lazy gesture to the space beside him. Sit if you want. ]

Good point. Next thing you know you'll have dyed hair and piercings. Maybe even a tattoo.
amburere: (₴ɆVɆ₦₮ɆɆ₦)

[personal profile] amburere 2018-11-03 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Does it matter?

[ Let's just continue answering questions with questions! ]
robitussin: (pic#12583844)

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-11-03 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Because I just... I ruin things and fuck everything up, okay? That's just what I do, it's what I'm good at.
robitussin: (pic#12475593)

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-11-03 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, yeah. It matters to me.

[She doesn't elaborate on quite why, though.]

Heard of shit like that. Most people would pick the lizard.
