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.

Never heard that one before. It's just assumed we're all going to make it back home.
[...Which, for a second, gets his expression to falter. He continues.]
But I meant congrats on making it out and keeping it together so well, despite everything. You're -- [Ugh god, no. They're heading straight into awkward territory again.] -- never mind.
[TIME TO START WALKING AGAIN. They have disguises to ditch.]

I'm what?

Admirable. That's all.

...Thanks. You, um, you did good too. Which I guess makes sense because you're more used to it, but - you know.

I...uh,...[How the fuck was it easier to know how to talk to Natalie when they were both in mortal peril?? He clears his throat.] Exactly. I didn't do anything that was out of the ordinary. You though? You were really brave.

[The joking tone in her voice makes it clear it's not quite as self deprecating as the words imply. She's still fairly certain it was a good call.]
You're going to make my ego swell up like a balloon if you don't stop.

Noted. I won't say anything else.

We should both probably change and get rid of this stuff like you said, so... See you soon?
no subject
Yeah. See you in a bit.
