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)

Some npc bothering

[streetwolf]

[Wayne wandered. He wandered all over the place with his hands in his pockets and hood pulled up. He didn't seem to have much of an end point no matter what route he took. Alleys or main streets, he took the most direct path.

Around midday he stops at the abandoned building though. Going round the back to get inside. He doesn't go too far in, keeping within running distance of his entrance. ]

This place is a lot worse than I remembered it… Didn’t think the fire got this far…

[It's only mumbling and he pauses looking back over his shoulder when he hears someone approach.

Once it starts to get dark he heads to the Tavern. Not to drink, just to talk. It's not Rose's place or the blackmarket but there has to be some gossip here. So he settles at the bar, and starts badgering the bartender. Waving the debt card. ]

Just some juice. You know of any jobs going round for when this thing runs out?

[Even if that doesn't work he can eavesdrop. Drunk guys are dumb. He even tries the darts board for a bit. Some throws are amazing and some are so far off its a surprise no one got hit.

He'll head back to the motel… At some point.

[cartesio]

[ Juice, coming right up! ]

Hey there, man. Ohh, ya know, I think the local oil refinery'd have some openings. It had an expansion recently.

[streetwolf]

Thanks. Take it that's just outta town? Might be a bit serious for me though...

[Could he bs getting an actual job? Probably not.]

forgot the PB there, excuse me

[cartesio]

Oh, what? No, no. It might not be at the center of town, but I wouldn't say it's outside. Gotta make it easy for all the working folk to get to, after all.

[streetwolf]

Oh they can walk it? Where I'm from a little bus comes by and picks'em all up. Course they're paid per day.

[What is a steady job.]

[cartesio]

No bus required. It's a bit of a walk, but. Well, we're a small town, after all.

[streetwolf]

Nice. If I managed it I could save on the commute. Though getting a car would be nice, just dump my shit in there and haul if there's anything like last week's fire again...That doesn't happen often round here right?

[He's just going to sip at his juice.]

[cartesio]

Noooo sir, not at all. All that...ruckus, I hope y'all can avoid that, while you're here. Cartesio's not that kind of town.

[streetwolf]

Good, I see too much of that stuff back home. I'll be happy just assuming someone's car had a leak or something.

abandoned building

[clearities]

I didn't think the fire got this far, either... but then again, I was only in the main areas near the motel.

[streetwolf]

I knew it was pretty fucked up. But it seems worse than when we left it. [Sakura, the good one of the mock trio. ]

I guess the fire'd explain that. I was hoping it'd be usable...

[clearities]

But the fire can't really do all of this, could it...? [ She frowns a little bit. While she isn't all that familiar with what a fire can and can't do-- kind of funny, given that she does have fire magic-- the fact that the floor tiles are cracks seems to imply more than just fire happening here. ]

[streetwolf]

Not all of it. But it looks like it's made the whole lot unstable. I could deal with broken glass and those machines everywhere. [He's scratching his head again.]

[clearities]

Mmhm. It's probably really dangerous to be in here...

[streetwolf]

Mmm...[Yeah he takes a look at the ceiling and starts prowling back the exit.]

Little thing like you might be able to get further up. But I'll probably just go through the floor... Shame, it'd be useful if they're planning on just kicking to the kerb.

[clearities]

...Oh! You think so? Maybe we'd find something that would help us!

[streetwolf]

They said the cards'll run out of money at some point. I doubt they'll let us stay in the motel after that. I think this place has had it though. Might be something salvageable upstairs but getting to it...

Abandoned building

[silvertongueheir]

I suppose it may have been destroyed to prevent the more enterprising types from creating some kind of signal to the outside. Though I doubt it'll actually stop those outside from finding us. I know my team's scientist is quite capable.

[streetwolf]

How'd it create a signal? There's no radio tower. [What is a computer??? He's completely ignoring the scientist thing.]

[silvertongueheir]

Well, there are also satellites and phone towers. Though I suppose it's true those may not be available here. But as long as there is one somewhere I'm sure Shaun would have been able to reach it.

[streetwolf]

...Don't only government people have access to those things?

[You're making him paranoid.]

[silvertongueheir]

That entry in the guestbook does mention my occupation, you know. And it is true. The International Police can be reassured of cooperation from most regional governments simply because of their purpose.

[streetwolf]

...What's it say? I ain't exactly got around to reading it yet. You're a cop?

[Yeah he's tensing up at that, hunching his shoulders up.]

[silvertongueheir]

I am a member of the International Police, organized to handle major issues that could affect multiple regions. Most of the time, we don't handle more local crimes. Though thanks to the nature of my current assignment my team does not need to answer to our superiors as much. And I have already realized my authority likely does not apply here.

[streetwolf]

Yeah. That doesn't mean shit here. Not much seems to... What's it like here compared to there? Other than the old bastard the cops here actually seem, uh, to be doing what cops should do.
