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)

It's not just 'cause I want them to, man, it's 'cause that's not how it happens here. When I say we don't have crime, I mean it.

[ He shakes his head, trying to recollect himself. It's been a long night, after all. ]

That guy... Look, I didn't even realize he was here 'til a few days ago. Keeps to himself.

[marmoron]

[Look, buddy. YOu're starting to sound delusional. Crime happens everywhere because people are shitty and people do shitty things, period. He'll believe that you've been mindwiped or brainwashed or something over this "literally no crime happens here except that one time" story.

But he's not going to argue this point because wtf is this new bullshit.]

You didn't know there's a guy in town calling himself the Sergeant until recently.

[Stating this very flatly. Just double checking.]

The guy has shadows for a face. Hard to miss.

[cartesio]

[ He shrugs, helplessly. ]

Guy doesn't like to mingle! I'm a friendly guy, but has he set foot in my tavern, once? Set foot anywhere? I dunno, okay.

[marmoron]

[....Okay, well now he's thrown off a little.]

You... don't have a problem with the fact that there's a military guy walking around town with shadows hiding his face.

[cartesio]

Cartesio's always been Cartesio. I don't see how one guy could change all that.

[marmoron]

[Bluntly because he can't think of any other way to say this, he's so damn mystified by this nonchalance.]

The guy is actively encouraging people to kill each other.

[cartesio]

What, and people're just going to do that, 'cause some guy's saying so?

[ He shakes his head, dismissive. ]

No way. I'm not gonna think badly, just 'cause one guy's trying to cause a ruckus.

[marmoron]

[Keith pauses, going silent for a just a short moment.]

Do you know why he's here? What's the military interested in Cartesio for? As far I can tell, it's a small town.

[cartesio]

Man, if I didn't realize he was here, you think I'd know that?

[ He shakes his head. ]

It's probably nothing.

[marmoron]

Probably nothing?

[Yeah. Yeah, right.]

What's around here? Natural resources? Military base? Nuclear testing? What state is Cartesio in?

[God he's insistent.... If the other paladins were here, they'd all be telling him to fucking relax, but that's kind of the problem isn't it. They're not.]

[cartesio]

We... We're in Nevada, man. [ He's a bit put-off, by the insistence... And it also might be the exhaustion, since he's yawning. ] Look, we're- we got great crops? Nothing else, jesus.
