WEEK 1: April 2nd - April 6th

[cartesio]

Peace Week

Sunday must have been exhausting for you, maybe even upsetting. A new town, new faces and a an ominous order from a man without a face... who wouldn't be a little frightened? Hopefully, all of that is forgotten when you climb out from under your blankets this fine Monday. Rise and shine! A new morning is a new start!

If you make your way to the lounge, you will find a few copies of the local newspaper provided for your perusal. Once you go outdoors, you'll find the weather forecast 100% accurate. It's pretty impressive.

It seems that quiet mornings like this are going to be your everyday life now. Maybe you should see this whole stay as a vacation? Go out and explore the town, meet your fellow motel guests and meet the townspeople. They're sure to welcome you with a smile!

This week's special in the diner is lemon pie made with love (and a top-secret recipe)

[The one reason Keith is here is because he's trying to get to the bottom of this "no crimes happen in Cartesio except that one time" narrative that's been spewed at him. Otherwise, he has no love for cops and that much is somewhat evident on his face. He thought he looked conspicuous as heck wearing full paladin armor, but then there's someone yelling so that's all relative, innit.]

Does that usually work?

[saladandeggs]

...well, yes. It gets their attention.

[is he wrong]

[marmoron]

[There's a huff -- like he's amused despite himself.]

Can't say that I've ever wanted a cop to pay attention to me.

[A beat.]

What I meant was does shouting for justice usually get it for you.

[saladandeggs]

Unfortunately, the justice system is not as convenient as that. At times, the world is unfair regardless of how much shouting one does.

...yet, shouting helps. It’s frankly cathartic in many a ways.

[marmoron]

There's that at least.

[Too bad it may only be that though.]

The folks here don't seem to think anything's wrong.

[saladandeggs]

They’ve obviously been brainwashed - perhaps they’re hostages as much as we are.

[marmoron]

Hostages.

[That has Keith looking contemplative for a moment.]

I was thinking lab rats.

[saladandeggs]

...well, wouldn’t that just be pleasant? Experimented on! How very quaint!

[sarcastic yelling is his forte]

[marmoron]

Things are messed up in every universe.

[Bitter agreement.]

[saladandeggs]

...”every universe”. Now there’s an - an expression I haven’t heard before.

[marmoron]

It's not a common phrase even where I'm from.

[A common phrase aboard the former castleship maybe, but....]

Not too many people have been between realities.

[saladandeggs]

...you are speaking, I assume, in a “yoga” sense. Metaphorical. Right.

...right?

[marmoron]

A what sense?

[Dude. Keith may be from Earth, but he grew up orphaned in the middle of nowhere with desert for miles, joined the Garrison, got booted from the Garrison and then somehow ended up leading a space war. What is this "yoga" you speak of.]

[saladandeggs]

[frasier is learning about alternate realities, multiple dimensions. the vastness futility and infinite possibilities far behind even his grasp.

keith is learning about yoga.]

You’re not being literal, I mean.

this should not be so funny

[marmoron]

No I mean... [Okay, yeah he'd have needed that explained anyway, but.] ..What's yoga?

[saladandeggs]

...Ah, yes. Well. Yoga is an ancient meditation practice dating back...thousands of years, primarily used to promote both physical and mental health, as well as relaxation.
