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.

... I wouldn't murder anyone. Not for this.

Um, I should bring up that the person in the library from the newspaper-- he's the one I called sensei. I also saw Alfin-chan at the flower shop, too.

[...]

Oh, and one more thing. Sometimes I can sense brief bursts of magic signature in the town. And spirits, too, but it's not as often.

Where have you sensed the spirits?

[personal profile] clearities 2018-10-30 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
It was kind of hard to tell, since it almost felt like I was imagining things... sorry.
quickpersuader: (clouds)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-10-30 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Then where were you when you sensed them?
clearities: (pic#12014224)

[personal profile] clearities 2018-10-30 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I was wandering around the town, actually.

[ so various places ]
quickpersuader: (turns into a cloud)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-10-30 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I see...

Did you sense them when the jukebox started acting up?
clearities: (pic#12014219)

[personal profile] clearities 2018-10-30 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't sense any spirits... But I did sense magic, I'm pretty sure.
quickpersuader: (the mountains)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-10-30 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Magic?

[Please clarify, there isn't really that kind of thing in Kino's world.]
clearities: (pic#12014212)

[personal profile] clearities 2018-10-30 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I'm not good at explaining, but... I can use magic, and I can sense it when someone's using it.

[ CLAMP explains absolutely Nothing about magic, ever ]

[!!]

You saw Her Highness?! Was she okay?!

[THIS IS IMPORTANT. Just because she's Osborne's little attack infant doesn't mean Erebonia's crown princess isn't important to her!]
clearities: (pic#12014228)

[personal profile] clearities 2018-10-30 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, she's fine. She was handing flowers to everyone... she looked really happy.
doublelammy: (☆ 40)

[personal profile] doublelammy 2018-10-30 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Millium looks immediately relieved.]

Ahaha... that sounds like her, all right. I think she'd do that back home, too, if she could get away with it.

...well, even if it can't last, I guess I'm happy for her for now.
clearities: (pic#12014214)

[personal profile] clearities 2018-10-30 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm glad she's alright, too. I really hope everyone is, really.
silvertongueheir: (Til now I've been pretending)

[personal profile] silvertongueheir 2018-10-30 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I believe you wouldn't, as well. [He nods at her comments.] Are there any locations where those are more common?
clearities: (pic#12014219)

[personal profile] clearities 2018-10-30 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Sakura shakes her head. ]

I'm sorry, I honestly really couldn't tell...
silvertongueheir: (What kind of ride)

[personal profile] silvertongueheir 2018-10-30 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It's alright. [He looks thoughtful.] Perhaps for some reason the ghosts are gaining more power to manifest.

[personal profile] clearities 2018-10-30 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe... but what is that reason?
silvertongueheir: (Default)

[personal profile] silvertongueheir 2018-10-31 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps whatever is causing more of the town to become visible to us is also allowing the ghosts to better contact us.

[personal profile] clearities 2018-10-31 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
You think so?
silvertongueheir: (What kind of ride)

[personal profile] silvertongueheir 2018-10-31 10:35 am (UTC)(link)
It is the main thing that's changed over the weeks, after all. Apart from...the townspeople's attitudes towards us.

[personal profile] clearities 2018-10-31 01:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I wonder if we could possibly make amends with them... not all of us are bad people.

Magic? Is it of any particular type?
clearities: (pic#12014214)

[personal profile] clearities 2018-10-31 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
It was hard to tell.
carbide: (B05F. The silent unknown abyss)

[personal profile] carbide 2018-10-31 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
That is no surprise, I suppose. And the spirits?
clearities: (pic#12014219)

[personal profile] clearities 2018-10-31 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
It was... even harder to tell.
