WEEK 2: April 8th - April 12th

[cartesio]

Second Week

Seven days have passed. Quite peaceful days, almost too peaceful. The town has welcomed you, excited to see tourists for the first time in many, many, many years. Some may have liked the peace, others may have been annoyed by it, but it was undeniable Cartesio seemed like such a nice and safe place it was hard to believe you had been told to kill each other.

But the threat is still up in the air. What's more: how much patience does the Sergeant have left?

Every time you take a look into the Lodge, you see the Sergeant. Lately he's looking more and more annoyed. Even though you can't see his face, you can feel he's getting frustrated. How long will it be before he lashes out and does something about these peaceful days?

Nobody in the town could suspect the harrowing times that'd befall Cartesio.

When you wake up on Sunday, you'll find new maps in the map rack and brochures on the table, showing places you hadn't noticed in the town before. Enjoy!

Clinic - Investigation/NPC/OTA

[Franciscus is definitely intrigued by this clinic that has suddenly shown up. He makes his way to the pharmacy first, investigating to see what kind of medicines they have, and if there are any specifically from his world, or that he doesn't recognize and might be from other worlds. Though he'll eventually flag down an employee as well.]

Excuse me, but how busy is your job? It seems like there's little need for a clinic in this town, after all.

Investigation Part

[cartesio]

[The stock of this pharmacy is quite extensive! There's all kinds of medicines for minor maladies. Creams, pills, serums, and other medicines that seem to be of quality. There's also a few chemicals and products that are of a more poisonous and dangerous quality. Better be careful with those.

Curiously enough, among the many products there are, indeed there are a few medicines and products Franciscus will recognize from his world. There even are a few berries. Everything from his world is labelled and carefully described, perhaps for the employees' benefit? Judging by the prices, these are rather rare products]

[silvertongueheir]

[He treats the chemicals with the appropriate caution, at least. After some consideration, he decides it's probably better to leave them be for now. Still, does it seem like it's pretty easy to get them, or are they marked in some way that would make them harder to smuggle out?]

NPC

[cartesio]

[ A somewhat squirrely but friendly man works at the front. ]

Oh, you'd be surprised, aheh. N-not like anyone's gettin' real hurt, but there's still...your hay-fever, your chicken pox, your folks havin' accidents.

[silvertongueheir]

[A pleasant nod.] Though I suppose it is fortunate your services were not required last week. Since we had no way to access this place then.

[cartesio]

Ohh? What's that mean? Could you, uh, not find it, on the map?

[silvertongueheir]

Not at all. We couldn't even see it, and it does seem like the kind of place that would stand out.

[cartesio]

[ A beat. ]

Well that's... That's awful strange, uh, stranger. I'd sure, uh, i-imagine you're pulling my leg.

[silvertongueheir]

Well, did you see any of us come in last week? Or walk by?

[cartesio]

I-I was sort of...focused on m-my job, but...I didn't see any of you walk in. All my regulars came by though. There's a lot more interesting places in town, I figured.

[silvertongueheir]

[He nods, looking thoughtful.] Are a lot of the townsfolk regulars here?

[cartesio]

A bunch of them, yeah.

[silvertongueheir]

I see. I understand patient confidentiality is important, but since we're new here, are there any townspeople with conditions we should be careful not to aggravate? I certainly wouldn't want to hurt anyone by accident.

[cartesio]

Uh... I don't know if I'm comfortable answering that... No one's gonna 'c-cause trouble, anyway.

[silvertongueheir]

I can respect that. Though you should be wary of the blond woman known as Clarisse.

[cartesio]

[ ...A gulp. ]

I-is that a tip...?

[silvertongueheir]

Indeed. I would rather not have anyone hurt because they don't know what she can be like.

[cartesio]

W-well. Well, I'll, uh... I'll keep my eye out...?

[silvertongueheir]

[He nods.] I just have one last question, then I shall leave you to your work. I've noticed the pharmacy has several items that seem specific to my world? [He holds up one sample bottle he obtained.] Do you know where they came from?

[cartesio]

...Uh... Gee, I dunno. Haven't quite noticed that product, 'round b-before?

[silvertongueheir]

I see. Do you at least know if it's been available these previous weeks?

[cartesio]

[ A small pause. ]

U-uh, I... Not sure. I'd have to double-check my records.

[silvertongueheir]

[A nod.] I won't keep you from your usual work, then. Should I come back tomorrow and see what you've discovered?

[cartesio]

S-sure! [ A bit too enthusiastic there. This man is surely trying. ] Yes. Yes, you can.
