Week 8 - May 20th - May 24th

[cartesio]

Last Week

With the weekend's latest tragedy, a strange mood has descended over Cartesio. What happened was unprecedented, and perhaps that's why the already decreasing hostility from the townsfolk comes to a complete halt. Could it be the strange circumstances? Bolin's desperate plea? Last week's peaceful Wednesday? Some combination? Whatever the reason, it's clear that the Sergeant's iron fist around the town has loosened. While the residents aren't jumping to interact with you, there's no graffiti, no new broken windows.

Cartesio is confused...but open to explanation, for perhaps the first time.

Still, while the town seems amiable, almost accepting again, there's little to chase away the knowledge that the Sergeant's tasks for you are near their end, and that means those without medals are doomed to their fate.

Or does it? After everything that's turned around, is it possible for you to claw your way out of here as well?

It doesn't need to be lethal. But if it turns out we need to fight, it's good to know what to expect from each other so we don't have any accidents.

What magic do you currently have?

[clearities]

Um... right now, I only have these two cards. [ She takes out both Record and Mirror. ] Mirror can copy things and also other magic, and it can also create inverted illusions of reality. Like... a flipped version of a building. And Record is able to film anything and project it, but it can also record past events that happened in places.

[quickpersuader]

[...]

How far back can Record... well, record?

[clearities]

When I used it, it was. . . a lot of years ago, I'm pretty sure, since I saw my mother as a child.

[quickpersuader]

...Did you ever try to use it when we were investigating?

[clearities]

[ Sakura shakes her head ] I didn't want it to disappear like Flight-san did, so I decided to make sure to only use it in a huge emergency...

[quickpersuader]

[Ahh...]

So it's only one use?

[clearities]

Here, it seems like it... [ she frowns because it's. it's not supposed to be like that. ]

[quickpersuader]

There's no way to replenish... it?

[Them??]

[clearities]

I don't know. Usually when I use a card and I'm done, it just... turns back into a card. I've done it a lot back home, so that's how it's supposed to work. But here, they disappear and I don't know. I think it might be the Sergeant-san or something...

[quickpersuader]

[Ah. Thanks Sarge.]

Well... how did you get them back home?

[clearities]

I can't really explain, since I don't really know how I got them... [ CLAMP magic explains literally nothing ] But it has something to do with my powers?

[quickpersuader]

[Hell if Kino knows what she's talking about, but:]

What exactly happened when you got them?

[clearities]

Well, usually I would have to capture them... they'd go after me, or something like that. And I'd have to figure out how to stop them and then I can use the staff to capture them.

[quickpersuader]

[Kino has so many questions.]

How do they go after you?

[clearities]

It depends on the card...? Since they all have their own personalities. Filght-san was just really scared... and Mirror-san actually surprised me when she reflected my whole house!

Oh, but there's also the other ones like Blaze which confronted me.
