Week 6: May 6th - 10th


Sixth Week
Killers and victims, killers and victims. Three of your own have fallen prey to murderous intent last week. Your numbers keep shrinking. Azura has fallen prey to Franciscus in the same night that Olympia betrayed her friend Millium and killed Cian who wound up in the crossfire. At this rate, is there anyone you can trust?

The townspeople's anger burns hotter than ever. Wherever they go, must they live in fear of stumbling on a corpse? They can't live like this. More than ever, the visitors are being shown that they are unwelcome.

Walking outdoors, cold looks are the norm. Shouted profanity isn't unexpected. Barely anybody is willing to still hold a conversation with any visitors.

Even within the motel, there is no feeling of safety any longer. Not only have two people died in this very place, no, now the townspeople also lost their fear of coming inside. While they don't enter private rooms, the daring among them vent their hatred of you by vandalizing the common rooms.

Cartesio has become a menacing place.

In the lobby of the motel there's a few more brochures, and the maps have been updated once again. Don't mind that some of them have been damaged in one of the attacks on the motel.

[Welcome to the sixth week! If you want to contact the Sergeant, please post here!. Also please remember to submit your activity check!]

...I've never been to a county fair.

[It's a strange thought. Even stranger to immediately wonder which of them will still be alive to see this particular one. It's a thought Keith puts aside for the time being.]

If this thing's only held every ten years, it's kinda weird that we haven't heard about it yet in the newspaper. [...] Guess we've been giving them way too much other crap to talk about.
relieable: (at least be safe and use a spork)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-05 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[oh wow... Osomatsu's eyes widen a bit when Keith says he's never been to a county fair. that's so sad! he needs to go to a fair, in a place where no one hates him]

Yeah, you're right. [we did blow up the diner... and do other things] Maybe they... don't want us to know about it.
marmoron: marmoron (listening)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-05 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Please. Keith? Going to a fair? Having fun? Sounds fake.]

.. They do have every reason not to want us there. They don't want us here now..

[He shakes his head.]

Or maybe they're just brainwashed and forgot.
relieable: (i really thought we had something)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-05 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... Maybe. I hadn't even thought of that.
marmoron: by request of the icon creator, pls do not take (peaceful)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-05 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
I'd prefer it wasn't that.

[Genuinely. Brainwashing's never a fun thing to have to deal with.]

What else do they sell at that store, by the way?
relieable: (all dressed in satin)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-05 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
[oh. he can answer that, at least]

Uhhh. Lots of stuff! Videos, VCRs, video cameras, old music... They had vinyl records there, along with CDs. And I saw some radios and other music players, too.
marmoron: by request of the icon creator, pls do not take (smug)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-05 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a look in Keith's eyes at that list. The kind of look he gets when he has an Idea.]

I wonder what'd happen if we tried to film those meetings on Tuesday with the Sergeant... heh. Police will find any excuse not to believe us, but... you think he shows up on film?
relieable: (you're saying it's not butter)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-05 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[oh Keith... you and your Ideas]

I dunno. Maybe his body does, at least. [maybe a video camera could record his weird face, or no face at all? hmmm]
marmoron: marmoron (side eye)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-05 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Dunno if it's worth trying, but... can't deny that I'm curious.

[On a more serious note though:]

Should consider buying a few of the electronics. The dead seem to only be able to talk to us through those.
relieable: (i can juggle bunnies)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-05 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[that's something he didn't think of either... talking to the dead through electronics]

I bought a teevee. It's pretty old, but I could probably plug it in somewhere, maybe in the motel.
marmoron: by request of the icon creator, pls do not take (pleasant)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-05 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[A nod.]

Try to keep it plugged in and turned on. They might be able to do something with it like that.
relieable: (yes)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-05 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[maybe he'd just keep the television in his room. if he kept it in the common room of the motel, one of the townspeople might get it.

he gives Keith a thumbs-up anyway]


I can do that!
marmoron: marmoron (side eye)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-06 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Keep me posted on how that goes.

[Getting a thumbs up right back, buddy.]

One other thing I gotta ask... how familiar are you with technology from 2005?
relieable: (karma is a bitch)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-06 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
2005? Uh... it depends on the technology, I guess. Are we talkin' a television? Computer?
marmoron: prescar (Look bub)

Sorry that should've been 2006....

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-06 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
You said the TV you bought was old, right? Does it look old for 2006 or old generally? All the technology around here looks pretty antiquated to me, so.

[He can't tell. God knows what year it actually is in Voltron land, but their tech is pretty futuristic.]
relieable: (he's too crazy for me to fuck with)

noted

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-06 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Hm, I think it's older than 2006, but I'm not super sure. It didn't come with a remote.
marmoron: marmoron (listening)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-06 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Weird that they're not selling newer things then. Is it supposed to be one of those places that sells older stuff?
relieable: (like cheese and crackers)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-06 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Like I said, going in there was like stepping into a time warp. I dunno if that was the intention, or if that's the way all tech is around here. It's not like we can go into peoples' houses and check what kind of stuff they have.
marmoron: by request of the icon creator, pls do not take (team leader)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-06 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
We can't?

[Raising an eyebrow. That a challenge, Oso?

...He's joking.

Probably.

[..................]

Keet. No.
marmoron: (judging u)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-06 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[.....]

What did you just call me?
relieable: isn't a cure for the cold (old crowe and ramen flavor packets)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-06 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[yikes]

O-Oh... Milli-chan and I... We didn't know your name before. She called you... Keet... [it's an affectionate nickname, probably]
marmoron: by request of the icon creator, pls do not take (lineface)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-06 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
It's Keith. Now you know.

[Fighting back against all these nicknames people are giving him is probably a losing battle, but when has Keith really backed down from a fight voluntarily....]
relieable: (did i get stoned on a sunday afternoon)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-06 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[he knows your name now, at least Keet is just... more fun?]

R-right... Of course.

[he is most likely going to continue calling him Keet]

...Are you scared of me or something? Why are you stammering?
