cartesianism | Week 5: April 29th

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.

[Weather: Temperatures slowly warm up. Rain at noon, clouds at night.

Strange vandalism at the fire station. Yesterday the system that monitors the cameras of the town was destroyed. The extent of the damages is extraordinaire, even compared to the recent events that have affected Cartesio.

Despite the damages and the place they happened, there's no proof as to who is responsible for this crime. Was it one of the visitors? For once we can't say for sure. This reporter will continue investigating.]

[When the Sergeant comes to call you to the Lodge, he's not uncertain like last week. He orders to go there with the same energy than usual]

It's Lodge time. Also, Keith, no chasing the cops this time.

[That warning was much needed, in his opinion.

Once everyone arrives, the Sergeant raises his voice]

Tomorrow it's May, everyone! It'll be May, and out of the thirty of you, only three have received medals so far! Can you believe it? A tiny amount of people will be leaving this town. To your credit, I'll say it hasn't been for lack of trying. Four attempted killers so far...

[Too bad they failed in getting away with their murders]

Since we're entering the second month of your stay here, I'm going to offer you something you'll be grateful for! Once you leave Cartesio, you can have with you a person of your choice, with no restrictions!

[The Sergeant gives emphasis to that, and just in case, explains further]

If that does not sound convincing, then think it this way: you can have any person with you. You could choose to take with you someone from your group that'd otherwise stay trapped in this town. You could take someone who died in this town. You could ask for someone back at home, and then...return with them? [Okay, scratch that last point] You even could ask for someone who's dead back at home, and it'd be possible too.

There are infinite possibilities here. Kill someone, get away with it, and earn not only this reward, but also the right to leave this town. You're running out of time, everyone. You better step up your game.

[That's it. He's done]

[Kino continues to look unimpressed, personally.]

...Well, it was probably only a matter of time before he offered to bring people back to life...

[ oda grits his teeth upon hearing the motive. though he’s not showing much expression besides that, his gaze is unfocused, as if no longer paying attention to the people around him.

quietly, he leaves. ]

[Not only does this strike a chord within him, it reminds him of something else. The result is-- it's a great deal to think about.

This isn't the place for him to do his thinking though. So when the announcement is over he lingers for just a short moment, before walking out.]

[For the first time, Millium actually seems genuinely affected by the motive.

Her mouth forms a single word – Crow – but no sound comes out.

...Rean would never want her to do this, and she knows it, but she's already done horrible things for him. To not only get him out of here, but to let him bring back the one person he'd failed to save...

She shakes her head, slamming her eyes shut. When she opens them, she turns on her heel and stalks out of the lodge.]

...c'mon, Lammy. Let's go.

[Her ever-loyal "friend" materializes behind her, and she hops into its waiting arms, but she can still be stopped or followed. She's not going too fast, nor does she really have a destination.]

[ THIS MOTIVE IS BAD....... like, seriously bad because Sakura's actually thinking about it, chewing on her lower lip nervously. ]

No, I can't. Not even for sensei, or mom...

[ This motive...Dabi doesn't put more than a second of thought into before he quips back. ]

Nice, you might break more than just an old granny this time.

[His hands clench at his sides but that's followed by a snort. ]

You're as full of bullshit as before...

[Bring back the dead, huh... Hawks stands quiet and still for several moments before scoffing.]

That's pretty rude, you know. Throwing this in people's faces.

You're using everyone's loved ones against them again? [ But, honestly... no. It isn't just loved ones, is it? He's promising anyone. Frustrated, he clenches his fists. ] ... This whole thing is wrong. How can you stand there each week and say this crap? You're messing with people's lives here!

[ This isn't new information by any stretch, of course. It's just an awful lesson to relearn every week. ]
