May 25th - Final Day

[cartesio]

Final Investigation

It's Friday. It's the last day marked in your calendar. Presumably, the few without medals will leave at some point today, and the rest...you're not sure what'll happen to you, but it'll be what the Sergeant wants.

How to defy him when you have so little time left?

Whatever plan you had today, it's guaranteed it won't go like expected. Early in the morning, the ground rumble slightly, and something pops in the sky. Fireworks! One after another, blasts from firework spread through the sky. Many of the residents of Cartesio come to the street, gathering and making all the noise they can.

It's a very radical change of behavior, compared to the once peaceful demeanor they had, and then the hostile behavior showed towards the visitors, but now they're making hubbub and causing disorder. Everyone does it spontaneously, and nobody's approaching the motel at all.

At least none of the townspeople.

Not long after that started, you may hear the noise of horns and whistles from vehicles, right outside the motel. Go take a look?

[Okay what the ever living fuck is going on now. Keith's standing his ground with Cosmo at his side, staring at Nanette and her crew.]

...Where are you taking them and why?

[cartesio]

[ She looks him dead in the eye. ]

Out. You wanted me to do something, Keith. It's long overdue, but...I'm doing it. We all are. We're getting you out.

[marmoron]

[OVerdue is one word for it, now that they're down to 7 people, but he's not going to argue. He's listening, seems vaguely surprised but...]

But where are you taking us?

[That's encouraging right? Shifting from them to us. But then again, he;s not sure if that really matters.]

[cartesio]

Wherever we can. None of us have been out of town before, but this is the best we can do.

[ She looks toward the chaos the other townsfolk are causing. ]

Whatever we do, we have to do it, now. I get the feeling that...Sergeant won't give you long, once he figures out what we're doing.

[marmoron]

[Just "out" then. He's seen where Cartesio is on a GPS -- nothing around for hundreds of miles. There's a lot of ways he can see this going fucking wrong and not a whole lot of ways this is going to go right, but....]

Fine.

[Let's just view this as a matter of buying some time then rather than actually getting out. Kino's armed, he's armed.]

I'm going..

[robitussin]

[She glances his way when she hears him say that, giving him a nod.]

You ready?

[marmoron]

Yeah.

[Or as close to "ready" as you can be in a situation like this anyway.]

You?

[robitussin]

...Close enough to it, at least.

[A beat.]

Not that you don't know this, but - keep your guard up.

[marmoron]

That's my line.

[But there's a faint humor there, as he hands her one of the many guns he owns.]
