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?

I'm actually in agreement with Keet here. At the very least, he should be... you know... arrested. I'm sure he is breaking a great deal of laws with this? Why is "arrest" not even part of the initial conversation here, even before we get into the necessity of killing the man...?

[quickpersuader]

[Kino's tone remains level.]

I think it's important to agree that we will try nonlethal measures if possible, but if the risks outweigh it, we might need to resort to force.

Can we at least say that much?

[marmoron]

[He turns to Kino with a scowl that isn't really directed at her.]

I'm not the one who you have to talk into agreeing here.

[protectandselfserve]

That's fine by me! We'll probably have to resort to force, but eh. I'm willing to at least try not to kill him.

[marmoron]

It's Keith.

[It's not that hard, gdit!!]

Things that are hard to kill are usually even harder to keep contained. How do you plan on keeping him arrested?

[protectandselfserve]

Oh, I don't have any issue with lethal force, even if I do think that it might be helpful if we take him alive given that he represents a larger organization. I was taking more issue with the "I want to help him find his friends and his face" thing.

Well, I'm not a part of the police, so I don't know if it would be right for me to arrest them... [ so there's Sakura's reasons, besides. you know. the fact that she's thirteen? her voice seems to be obviously quiet as she tugs at her arm, distinctly uncomfortable about this. she really, really doesn't like talking about this at all because she's so steadfast about the idea of being able to save everyone without having to hurt others, to end the murders and everything. ] I think if it would be possible to do that, it would be better than any worse alternative.

Hey, you're not a cop, but I'm a cop. Just leave the arresting to me, eh, Cherry?
