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)

[ Alright, it's been like three days, it's probably up to her to get out of here. Leaving the town physically, she imagines, is a no-go for whatever reason - someone like their captor isn't going to leave that particular loose end flapping in the wind, so she's not going to bother trying it. Which means she needs to stockpile some... supplies. She spends a lot of time in the junkyard, looking for... well. ]

Why are there so many knives here? I own ten knives now, but not one computer!

[ After that, she goes to the gas station to check out... well, she's sure spending a lot of time investigating the rope and the duct tape.

And then, after running twelve knives and a lot of rope and duct tape to her room, she can be found in the lobby, taking some notes. But she might be a little hard to find, since she's uh. Sitting under one of the tables as she does so. ]

NPC AND OPTIONAL PC INTERACTION

[ Later on, though, she hits up the tavern and sits around drinking literally until closing time, or at last until most everyone else is gone. Mostly she's looking to see what the clientele is like late at night - she wants to chat up any sketchy dudes or ladies or other who show up, and regrets that for once it's not in line with why she usually chats people up late at night. If there are no sketchy people, she might just chat up the bartender. ]

NPC

[cartesio]

[ If Kinzie's looking for sketchy, well...

She might find herself disappointed. It seems like the folk who come in here are just as wholesome as the rest of the town, even late. Workers with night shifts, mostly. A few people up late, just looking for social interaction.

So, the bartender it is. Davis Williams is a patient man. Friendly, as expected of his job. ]

Evening, miss. What can I be gettin' ya?

[goturshit]

[ what the heck this town is so wholesome??? game theory cartesio is just a really in-depth avant-garde performance of our town ]

Uh... an Old-Fashioned?

[ she sighs ]

Is it usually this quiet in here?

[cartesio]

[ An Old-Fashioned, haha. ...No, he doesn't seem to get any kind of joke and just goes about making one. ]

Oh, I wouldn't say this is quiet. Just laid-back. Some folk need a place open later, and that's what I give them. But, uh, yeah, this is kind of our usual.

[goturshit]

[ it's fine she can appreciate the joke on her own ]

Huh. Do you get people from out of town very often? Is there a highway nearby?

[cartesio]

Nope! Really, y'all are the first tourists we got here in as long as I can remember.

[goturshit]

Huh. So if there's not a lot of tourists... how does the local economy, you know. Be an economy?

[cartesio]

Well, we don't need tourism to function. We're a real self-sufficient place. Make our own stuff, sell our own stuff. All that.

[goturshit]

Huh! Good for you guys. It's very... idyllic here. Very small town America. Is this America? Everyone's from a different place, I'm trying to keep track.

[cartesio]

[ He laughs, and slides over her drink. ]

Indeed, miss. America it is. Nevada, to be precise.

[goturshit]

Nevada? [ a light laugh as she takes a drink ] Nowhere near the nuclear test site, I hope.

[cartesio]

Ohhh nothin' like that. That'd mess with our crops, and you know what Cartesio's got goin' for it? Crops.

[goturshit]

Crops, huh? What kinds of crops?

[cartesio]

Well... All kinds, really. We got really fertile land.

[goturshit]

Really? Sounds nice, how far out of town is the farmland?

[cartesio]

Uhhh... Gee, you'd have to ask one of the more farm-type people that, honestly. Not...that far, I don't think.

[goturshit]

I'll have to check it out. Tourist stuff and all. What are some other places I should check out while we're all here?

[cartesio]

Well, Lucille's diner's the best place in town to get a bite. Besides here, of course. The casino's always a nice place to spend time. Owner's a good buddy of mine. 'Course, if you like sitting 'round, the cinema's a nice relaxing place to see the latest films.

[ ...You may notice, if you've looked around town a bit? The casino, the cinema--neither of them are around town. ]

Gas station

[silvertongueheir]

[Franciscus is also investigating the rope.]

Well, it seems like it can restrain a person quite thoroughly. Though not comfortably. [There's a slight lilt to his voice at the end, as if he's implying something.]

[goturshit]

[ she laughs ]

Well, depends on your level of comfort, I guess. But no, it wouldn't be my first choice.

tw: kink talk upcoming I guess?

[silvertongueheir]

Nor mine. It also seems difficult to reuse without damaging it. Though I suppose if you kept a layer of clothing in place it would at least not itch the skin directly.

[goturshit]

What, you don't like it rustic? [ She sighs. ] Yeah, it'd mostly be fine for over-the-clothes stuff, unless you're really into rope burn.

[silvertongueheir]

[He sighs a bit as well.] Those kind of marks are definitely not my preference. I suppose you could also wrap the rope instead.

[goturshit]

True. Just layer it in duck tape or something.

[silvertongueheir]

Improvisation. It's a very necessary skill.
