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)

[ He'll look surprise for a moment and then remember that the bastard gave out spoilers in that stupid book. ]

Yeah, that's me. And I know it's a number, yo.

[ Stupid Wayne Wayne. ]

Don't know yours. Didn't get a chance to look over that book, yo.

[ well he had chances just did't want to ]

[quickpersuader]

I'm Kino. [A beat.] I'm a traveler.

[Since that's also included in there.]

You were an... Agito cadet? What is that?

[linearcrash]

[ He tilts his head at traveler like it's something odd.

The question about Agito Cadets though catches him off guard. He really should look at the stupid book. ]

It's something that doesn't matter any more, yo. It's old news. [ Waving his hand.

What about after? ]

What does it mean to be a traveler? You just go to different places?

[quickpersuader]

Old news...?

[That's a weird way of putting it. Still, Kino nods at his question.]

Yes. I travel from country to country, staying in each one for only three days before I move on.

[linearcrash]

What's the point? I mean, is there something to do in those places?

[ They did talk about traveling with Mother when it was over... to see the sights. But someone actually doing something like that? It's kind of weird. ]

[quickpersuader]

Of course there is. Every country is different, with different people and customs. I could travel all my life from country to country and still find something new.

[linearcrash]

[ Thinking about the places he's been and they are super different. ]

Huh. [ His voice is quieter now. ] Is it fun? Just seeing customs and people like that?

[quickpersuader]

It's incredibly fun. When I think about all the amazing things I've seen, and all the amazing things I haven't...

I wouldn't trade it for anything.

[There's a warm sincerity to Kino's voice. The beauty of the world is so very, very important to the traveler.]

[linearcrash]

[ Seeing the kid sound like that says it means something... but it's not something he can get. It's not something he can really get about anything really.

And he never will.

Class Zero, taken dooooown right here! . ]

You know, it's pretty cool that you have something like that. You're what... twelve?

[quickpersuader]

[Wow, Nine.]

I am not twelve.

[...That doesn't help much, Kino.]

[linearcrash]

Huh? You're not?

[ His eyes widen as he leans forward. ]

I mean... it sounds like you haven't hit puberty, yet.

[ Are you a low bloomer dude? Rubbing the back of his head. Eight is short, but even his voice is deeper. ]

[quickpersuader]

I can't help how I am.

[Kino can guess at what Nine is actually getting at here, but there's no real reason to correct it.]

[linearcrash]

[ He's not going to push the whole your balls haven't dropped talk. Eight taught him not to go there.

So instead... ]

How are you anyways?

[quickpersuader]

[Kino settles once again, staring over at the lodge.]

I want to leave. But still no signs of a way out.

[And as tempting as it is to try to book it, Kino has a strong feeling that's a bad idea.]

[linearcrash]

Not yet there isn't yo. There's gotta be something in that lodge though.

[ He still wants to charge in and kick ass. ]

[quickpersuader]

Which means getting past the Sergeant.

[Which means, at the very least, some kind of plan.]

[linearcrash]

Hey, I can punch him while someone sneaks past him.

[ Totally volunteers for distraction duty. ]

[quickpersuader]

I don't think a punch is going to be enough for someone like him.

[linearcrash]

If I had my spear...

[ Oh wait. Nine closes his hand to make it glow. ]

Maybe burning him would work, hey?

[quickpersuader]

[Kino's eyes fix on his hand.]

...Burning him how?

[linearcrash]

With magic, yo.

[ He'll make a small fire appear for a moment before it flickers out. ]

Like that but a whole hell lot bigger.

[quickpersuader]

[Holy cow this is happening. Kino's eyes go wide.]

Magic?

[However, it's still Kino, meaning it's time to carefully study Nine's hand for any signs of a trick.]

[linearcrash]

Yeah, I can do a couple of others spells, but this place limited me, yo. Can only use magic once.

[ Which is kind of a bummer, but he's not that good at it anyways. ]

[quickpersuader]

How do you...?

[Magic?? What is.]
