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.

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.

...I don't think there is either. The old bastards got a way of getting what he wants.

Pray for me, I guess. I'll put in a good word with the Goddess for you, too.
streetwolf: (1947 - manga actually looks cool here)

[personal profile] streetwolf 2018-11-04 12:01 pm (UTC)(link)
You gotta be religious for that to work. My word don't mean jack shit...

[Sorry...]

[Blink.]

...You're not?

[Hi, my name is Millium Orion and I'm from Zemuria, where religion is so baked into our culture there literally is no such thing as secular education]
streetwolf: (1947 - manga Mad dog of Primavera)

blasphamy warning?

[personal profile] streetwolf 2018-11-04 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Fuck no. If there is a god, it hasn't given a damn about me since I was born, or any of the other kids back home. Why should I expect one to help now?

[It's harsh. But nothings ever looked out for him. He wouldn't have had to rob corpses for ripped blanket in winter if there was something.]

[personal profile] doublelammy 2018-11-04 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[For her part, Millium just looks a little confused.]

...Huh. Weird.

I mean, I guess that's fair. It's not like the Goddess has really ever taken an active part in any of our lives, either, not so far as I know... but it's just kind of a thing back home.

I can't think of anyone that would deny Her.
streetwolf: (1947 - manga actually looks cool here)

[personal profile] streetwolf 2018-11-05 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Her huh? Maybe that's why?

Everyone always talks about whatever gods there are like they're some great all-knowing bastards. But there's so many of them already around.

[When in doubt, insult old men.]
doublelammy: (☆ 36)

[personal profile] doublelammy 2018-11-05 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Aidios, the Sky Goddess.

I guess some of the old gods are guys, but... nope. Aidios is a girl.

[She says, smirking and putting her hands on her hips.]

As it should be, if you ask me!

[personal profile] streetwolf 2018-11-06 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Damn right. Bet she's right pissed off having to fix their mess.

[It gets a chuckle. He isn't going to argue there. Men are stupid, he'll even call himself dumb.]
doublelammy: (☆ 71)

[personal profile] doublelammy 2018-11-07 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Haha... well, if you ask some people, she got so pissed off some several hundred years ago she nearly killed us all off.

So, y'know. I'd say yeah.
streetwolf: (1947 - manga I win)

[personal profile] streetwolf 2018-11-07 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[snort]

Damn, they must have made a real mess of things. The fuck did she do to them?
doublelammy: (☆ 14)

[personal profile] doublelammy 2018-11-08 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... that's kinda when history fell apart, so I dunno exactly. Just... a giant catastrophe, that's all I really know now.

We call it the Great Collapse.
streetwolf: (1947 - manga actually looks cool here)

[personal profile] streetwolf 2018-11-13 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Now that's funny. When everything went to shit during the war back home, everyone called the Disaster.

They don't even say what it was, like that'll stop it from happening again.
doublelammy: (☆ 21)

[personal profile] doublelammy 2018-11-14 01:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... kinda the same thing with us. 'Cept it was centuries ago and no one even really knows what happened, so it's a little more fair there...

Like, sure. It makes the whole thing super creepy and mysterious sounding, but in your case, it doesn't stop history from repeating.
streetwolf: (3)

[personal profile] streetwolf 2018-11-14 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
The whole thing happened just under six years ago. Everyone talks about all they lost during it, but they never actually talk about it.
doublelammy: (☆ 38)

[personal profile] doublelammy 2018-11-14 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh... that's not long at all.

[Millium seems pretty surprised by that.]

That's some government you guys got, if they're keepin' it under wraps n' it was that recent. That's some Gramps-level hiding.
streetwolf: (1947 - manga face wipe)

[personal profile] streetwolf 2018-11-14 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not even then. People just don't talk about it. The government just rolled over a while back, I don't really get it. But they don't do a lot now days.
doublelammy: (☆ 23)

[personal profile] doublelammy 2018-11-14 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
But... you woulda been alive durin' it, then, right? If they're not hidin' it, then even if people don't talk about it you should at least kinda know what happened.

I can't imagine somethin' that big wouldn't get reported on at all.
streetwolf: (1947 VN - ...)

[personal profile] streetwolf 2018-11-16 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean it showed up in the papers and everyone worried for a bit. But now even mentioning it can start a fight.

Course I remember it. I remember a building nearly falling on me when I was a runt.
doublelammy: (☆ 51)

[personal profile] doublelammy 2018-11-18 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Huh... weird.

...A whole building? Woah. Nice dodge.
