Week 7: May 13th - May 17th


Seventh Week
The tense truce that had covered Cartesio was over. The town, feeling betrayed after having given a chance to the outsiders, pushed back. Enraged, they started getting even more daring, starting to get into the tourists' only safe haven: their motel rooms. They don't manage to break in, but it's not unusual to hear thumping on the doors, someone trying to get in. The windows are almost perpetually broken, there's so much graffiti on the ground floor of the motel, both inside and outside, it's hard to know what each one is saying. Can't be anything good, that's the only thing that's certain. The lounge's furniture has been tore to pieces, the lobby only has the guestbook intact, and the planters in middle of the motel are broken, the soil and plants strewn around.

The residents of Cartesio are near their breaking point. The despair, fury, and desire to get rid of the outsiders so everyone can return to their peaceful lives, have covered the town. It won't take long before they reach their breaking point, and if they do...what will happen to the visitors?

The Sergeant's grip on the town is total, and next week is the one marked as END. It seems like there's no way out, like the Sergeant won.

But you can't lose hope. You have to remember: now that you're on your darkest hour, the only way lef to go is upwards. Things can get better, you have to make it happen!

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.

...What I mean is that I am probably going to fall over a few times if I try, and I'd like to avoid that.
quickpersuader: (we will be watching)

[Kino gives a small smile.]

Then you can watch me instead.

[...If she can get it functional again. Let's see, where are the zambonis...?]

[Yeah, about that...]

You're gonna go with it looking like that?
quickpersuader: (the mountains)

I think I saw some maintenance machines around here. Those are... probably for the ice, right?

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-11-19 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, but do you actually know how to do use them?
quickpersuader: (nestling against)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-19 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
Figuring it out's part of the fun, isn't it?

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-11-19 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I’m not sure that’s something that applies to heavy machinery...?
quickpersuader: (softly trembling)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-21 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Depends on the person, wouldn't you say?

[Hey, Natalie. Recall some of the things Kino's pulled here.

With a downright cheerful look, she heads off to see if she can figure out how to work the zamboni, god help us all.

[As she goes:]

...Fair warning, I reserve the right to leave if this goes poorly!
quickpersuader: (the Beautiful World)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-24 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Half turning:]

You can leave whenever you want, actually.

[Oh boy now she's climbing up and looking over the controls.]

I mean, I can, but I don't want to be a jerk. That was, like, reserving the right to leave without seeming like a jerk.

[She's definitely glancing over at Kino as she does so, though.]
quickpersuader: (turns into a cloud)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-24 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't think of you as a jerk for looking out for yourself, you know.

[That's kinda how life goes. With a thoughtful noise, she messes with the controls a bit and -

Yup, it sure is powered on now.
