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)

millium's tuesday terrors

[doublelammy]

[diner]
[Millium can be found seated nearby the jukebox with a slice of lemon pie. Who knows how many she's eaten already? She certainly won't tell.

Every so often, she gets up, goes over to the jukebox, slides her card, and enters a couple of songs.

It appears she's listening through each song on the jukebox one by one. She may be here a while.]

[around town]
[Millium is dashing between buildings with a pile of... some kind of paper.

She stops at each one, pausing to dig out a roll of tape and tearing off a strip of it, rolling it quickly into a ball before slapping it on the back of one of the paper things and slapping said paper thing up against the building.

As soon as that's done, she's off to the next one.

If someone stops to look at what she's pasting up, it looks like a very poorly cut out... paper shark, with an equally poorly (and likely hastily) drawn toothy grin.]

Around town

[silvertongueheir]

[Franciscus probably runs into Millium at the gas station. He blinks when he sees her slapping up paper sharks, before remembering the newspaper.]

Do you intend to make that "shark alert" actually relevant?

[doublelammy]

[Millium skids to a stop before turning on her heel to grin back at Franciscus.]

I sure do.

[silvertongueheir]

[Well. He's seen weirder methods of dealing with things.] You seem surprisingly cheerful for someone's who's been trapped here longer.

[doublelammy]

Yep. Why not be?

[It doesn't look like he's deterred her one bit.]

Yeah, sure, the whole thing is pretty spooky. But sitting around and crying is just gonna make my eyes hurt, not get anything done.

[She understands crying now, at least to an extent. But it's nothing she needs here.]

So I'm just gonna try to be happy and keep on living. I've seen people wiggle outta all sorts o' crazy things. I don't think this is impossible, either.

Diner

[carbide]

[Olympia finds her way into here today, and takes a seat further down. She's more interested in people watching than food, and in particular stares intently as Millium gets up to enter a song.]

[doublelammy]

[After entering her selections, Millium can feel a new set of eyes on her. She turns, scanning the diner to identify them, before heading back to her table.

She doesn't take a seat. Instead, she scoops up her half-eaten pie, then walks a couple of seats down to slide into the booth across from Olympia.]

Hiya.

[Munch. Like this is totally normal.]

[carbide]

[Olympia accepts this with no argument and smiles at her, though she doesn't stop staring.]

Hello.

[Expecting an explanation of what that was about? Too bad, Olympia time.]

[doublelammy]

[Millium sees that the staring is continuing. Therefore...]

Ohhh, is this a staring contest? Okay, okay, gimme a sec. I lost the other day, but I totally got this one this time!

[She gives a couple of exaggerated blinks before squeezing her eyes shut for a second.]

Aaaaand~ go!

[She snaps her eyes open, staring right back at Olympia.

Looks like she doesn't care too much about explanations, actually...]

around town

[odasaku]

Seems like the shark alert is real now.

[ even though oda says this with a deadpan expression, he can't help but feel amused with millium's antics ]

[doublelammy]

Sure is!

[Millium doesn't even stop running until she gets to the next building, just shouting back toward Oda.

Once she gets to her next stop, she comes skidding to a stop, even tripping over herself a little as she fails to calculate her own momentum correctly. This does not deter her from rolling up another piece of tape even as she's correcting her balance, slapping another shark on the wall before grinning back at Oda.]

They're vicious.

[odasaku]

[ oda is keeping an eye on her, of course, ready to go to her help if she tripped or got hurt on her very important quest.

but when he sees the shark drawing on the wall, he huffs, amused. ]

Will they attack humans?

[doublelammy]

They eat them alive.

[She snaps her teeth at Oda a couple of times to illustrate her point before just smiling ear to ear.]

Around Town

[quickpersuader]

[Ah. This must be...]

Shark warning?

[doublelammy]

[Sorry, hope you weren't expecting Millium to stop for you, Kino. Places to be, sharks to post, you know the life.]

Yup!

[She calls out while running by.]

[quickpersuader]

[And there she goes...

You know, Kino's actually just going to fuck off for a while and come back to find Millium once she's done, possibly by following the shark-lined road trail.]

around town

[amburere]

[ Millum's frantic darting gets Dabi's attention more than anything else, though he's content to watch her for a bit before he starts to walk over to one of the sharks. Like everyone else, the shark gets a nice lengthy stare from him.

....really. ]

Sharks don't grin. [ Yes, that is apparently his problem with all of this. ]

[doublelammy]

['SCUSE YOU ARE YOU CRITICIZING HER ARTWORK

good, 'cause you should, it's terrible.

She turns to Dabi slowly, eyes lidded and cheeks puffed out in a pout.]

Maybe not. But they're way funner to draw that way.

[It hurts me, the player, to have to type that not-a-word as if it's actually a word.]

[amburere]

It's still wrong. [ He has exactly zero reaction to her pouting. Toga has granted him immunity to that sorta thing if he even had any weakness to it in the first place. But he's not in the mood to hear her protest further so—hm. He sure is holding out a hand and then setting the shark ablaze in a flash of blue fire. There, better. ]

Around town

[integratedsoul]

[ Papercrafts are pretty much extinct in Cian's time. If you're going to be creative, most of the time you'll find yourself drawing digitally and maybe 3D printing something. Actual paper made from real trees is more of a rare and expensive good.

So seeing Millium put up her shark creations maybe fills her with just a bit more fascination than the whole matter deserves. ]

... they're really cute.

[doublelammy]

[Luckily for Cian, Millium is actually mid-shark plaster for a change, so all Millium has to do is peek over her shoulder to see who's talking to her and flash Cian a sunny smile.]

Thanks! I spent all day yesterday drawing 'em.

[integratedsoul]

Do you do crafts things like this a lot?

[ Normally, Cian means. Everyone here is so different from where she came from, it's fascinating just hearing about their daily lives. ]

diner

[browbeater]

[wow there's the spy getting the-- famous lemon pie? Huh.]

How many more songs do you have to go?

[doublelammy]

[The spy is clearly doing reconnaissance!]

Ummm. ...A lot. I don't know like, any of these.

I like 'em, though. They're all really different!

[browbeater]

That is going to be a long time, then.

[none of this sounds... great to him. but he's also a jazz fan, and this sounds like not jazz.]

So, guess it's good you like them. Is that the lemon pie, too?
