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.

[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)

[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]
marmoron: marmoron (judging)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-06 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
...Are you scared of me or something? Why are you stammering?
relieable: (i don't think you're pregnant)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-06 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[he holds up his hands]

Well, you're kind of... [uhhh, how to put this?] Feisty? You know?

["rash" is the better word here]
marmoron: by request of the icon creator, pls do not take (lineface)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-06 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Eyebrow raise.]

Olympia killed my friends and tried to frame me for it. You telling me you'd have just taken that?
relieable: (turns out vomit takes off spray tan)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-06 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ah. when he puts it that way...

Osomatsu drops his arms, his expression becoming more serious]


No. [a beat] I have a lot of respect for you, Keith. And... I'm sorry if I made it sound like I was makin' fun of you. 'cause I wasn't. [he just likes nicknames! and he misses Millium...]
marmoron: marmoron (listening)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-06 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Somehow that wasn't what he was expecting to hear, and Keith's taken aback for a moment. He's well aware he hasn't conducted himself in a manner that breeds respect, and at the end of the day wasn't aiming to gain respect from people in Cartesio.]

That's... not it. It's just the dumb name Millium used to call me. Wasn't expecting to hear it again any time soon.
relieable: (and i'm covered in maple syrup)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-06 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Osomatsu feels sick to his stomach thinking about Millium, especially after hearing that the Sergeant wants to bring her back to life and force her to stay in Cartesio. like, what kind of madman...]

Yeah, sorry. It just slipped out.
marmoron: (more resting bitchface)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-06 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
[He's quiet for a moment. They've got so much to try and process about Millium -- even more now, and at least he's feeling a bit prickly for it.]

It's.. [Not Okay, but...] ...what it is, I guess. But I'd prefer not to hear it again until we get Millium and the others back.
relieable: (you're everything i hate in a person)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-06 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
[well, he can do that, at least. so Osomatsu nods, keeping his head down for a moment.

they got a bit side-tracked. but that's fine]


Okay.
marmoron: prescar (Look bub)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-06 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
Appreciated.

[A beat and back to business.]

But since Kino brought up Wednesday's again... I'm wondering if the diner was chosen as a target by the Sergeant partly in an attempt to prevent the ghosts from communicating with us through the jukebox.
relieable: (it was a ghost)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-06 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[man, Keith's smart!]

Maybe! Does that mean he'll target the casino next?
