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.

Just tell me when to shoot. Give me enough time to holster it again between shots, but besides that, you can call it out whenever you like.

[Currently all persuaders are holstered, though...]

[She nods.]

You getting some practice in?

[And then, after a moment...]

Shoot.
quickpersuader: (a quiet voice)

[Lightning fast, Kino draws the revolver on her right and shoots.

It hits dead center, causing the plate to swing wildly even as she returns the revolver to its holster.

Nice one.

[But almost as soon as it's holstered again:]

Shoot.
quickpersuader: (so the Beautiful World)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-08 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kino repeats the motion. Even though the plate is swinging, there's a clang as the bullet hits and leaves it spinning even faster than before.

Back to the holster the revolver goes.

[This time, she waits for a few moments, enough that the plate has nearly stopped spinning.]

Shoot.
quickpersuader: (and can't sleep)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-09 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Another shot, another bulls eye on the plate.]

That's half.

[Three more bullets left. She holsters it again.]

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-11-12 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Another few seconds, and then:]

Shoot.
quickpersuader: (a quiet voice)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-12 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kino waits in complete silence before once again snapping her arm up to shoot. The plate is going to spin its rope tight around the branch at this rate.]
robitussin: (pic#12583123)

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-11-13 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[About ten seconds pass, then:]

Shoot.
quickpersuader: (so the...)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-14 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[The wait doesn't seem to faze her, because she again reacts instantly, the bullet slamming into the plate to cause it to unwind itself from the branch this time.

One left.

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-11-15 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[And, quicker this time:]

Shoot.
quickpersuader: (Somewhere I think)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-15 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[And that's the final one. It clangs against the metal, and Kino spends a moment reloading with ammunition from her pouch before holstering the revolver one last time.]

Thanks. Usually Hermes helps me, but...

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-11-15 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I get it. You are sans talking motorcycle.

[Her trend of not calling it a motorrad continues evermore.]

Is it easier than deciding when to shoot yourself?
quickpersuader: (the mountains)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-15 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's fine, it's just gratuitous German anyway.]

I can shoot whenever I like. This is more about reaction time.

[And now it's time to wander over and get that plate down from the tree.]
robitussin: (pic#12475593)

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-11-16 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Got it. Yeah, I guess that'd be hard to measure if you were telling yourself when to shoot.

[Although...]

I hope you're not planning on doing any of that soon.
quickpersuader: (Blown by)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-18 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Reacting with shooting isn't really something I plan to do.

[It's just something she does to ensure she doesn't die.]
