cartesianism | WEEK 2: April 8th

WEEK 2: April 8th - April 12th

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!

[Hawks didn't dawdle, but he mostly because he wanted to watch the other people arrive. You can always learn a lot watching other people react to the unexpected.

When the Sergeant starts shouting about how he was being kind by letting them take initiative with killing each other he almost speaks up. He's about to, even, but the words die in his throat when he sees several people flash on the screen. Thankfully the moments they're up there, they're in their hero costumes at least. Even having that is more than unwelcome, though. He can feel his wings mantling and feathers ruffling in indignation.

He'll have to trust the Sergeant doesn't have their civilian names, or more likely just that they can take care of themselves without Hawks as backup.]

He really knows how to rub it in, huh.

[ Course Dabi's's spying on his favorite heroes special someones. ]

That "random strong guy" is really important to you, huh. [ His words are snarky, but his tone lacks much of his usual follow through. Odd. ]

What can I say, going through what we did and working together has really left an impression on me.

[Similar to Dabi, Hawks' words aren't fitting the tone he says them in. His words are lighthearted and jocular, but his tone is closer to strained and bitter. He can't exactly admit the real reason Endeavor is part of his 'important people,' or the guilt for this being the second situation he's gotten the other hero into that's no where near favorable.]

Funny, yours included some real characters too.

Ha, guess so. [ After a beat he looks at the winged hero, his typical lazy smirk returning. ]

If he wants to end this whole mess quickly, he can go right ahead and bring 'em here.

[Hawks lets out quiet snort of laughter] End it and this town, sure. Collateral was never much of a concern with you and your friends.

[ Yeahhhh not even gonna bother to hide his obvious glee here. ]

They'd want to make up for Kyushu too, with how disappointed they were.

I'm sure they would, they're not ones to like missing out on things.

It wasn't the right time for a party just yet. Tell the rabbit she has an invitation for the next one, she can play with the lizard.

[Weak grin] I'll keep that in mind. Also pretty sure she's way out of his league, but I'll pass it on.

Huh. Why the hell is that guy on fire?

[ How does that even work??? ]

[He's still not happy but]

That's his quirk, Hellfire. He uses it to fight villains.

[The abridged explanation, Hawks is getting better at this!!]

His quirk? He grows a flaming beard to fight villains as a quirk?

[ Quirky isn't the word he would use to describe that. ]

No, the flames in general are the quirk, the [what'd that other kid say?] superpower he's a hero known for using. The beard is aesthetics.

[the beard is totally the quirkiest use of a Quirk there is]

So he uses his powers to give himself a flaming beard to fight with? The hell? He should have just covered his whole face, yo. [ A beat. ] You don't do anything like that, do you?

[ Trying to imagine it... ]

[Hawks laughs loudly at that] He uses his power to make the beard, yeah, but he fights with fire from his hands and feet primarily. My power isn't the same kind--it's my wings. Me and Miruko, the other person, our powers are more similar. Both physical changes instead of an emitted power.

[There's probably a joke in there about the hawk and the rabbit being friends too]

So are your wings always there? You can't move them around on your face like his fire?

[ Bird beard. ]

[please Nine, please. Hawks is going to take a moment to choke on nothing and then say very indignantly]

No. [a short moment to collect himself] I mean, I can pluck feathers from my wings and hold them on my face but no I can’t just grow—or move—my wings on my face. You can’t just grow an extra arm on command, right? Physiology doesn’t work like that.

...

[ Bakugou's fists are clenched tight. Seeing that red head, a certain idiot, fucking icyhot, and the shitty nerd up there was fun. So, yeah.

They can handle their damn selves. But...his eyes flicker over to Hawks, even the number two Hero was--

No. He's not doubting this. He hates this so damn much. ]

Bastard's just desperate because things aren't going his way.

Edited 2018-10-10 22:15 (UTC)

[ Aww, not gonna show any concern for your other fam Bakugou? Dabi's attention was initially focused on who showed up for Hawks but he's interested in who showed up for Bakugou too.

...about what he expected. Peculiarly there's no snarky comment, just a very long stare at the screen and then in Bakugou's direction. Small blessings, maybe? ]

...

[ Don't even start!!

Bakugou then turns to face Dabi, feeling his stare on what he knows to be him and his friends (not in that order.) It's unnerving either way. ]

What?

Edited 2018-10-11 18:44 (UTC)

[ Thanks Bakugou, he needed this familiar animosity. That irritating grin of Dabi's is back as he looks down at the wannabe hero. ]

Just looking. Lucky they'd all handle this better than you, huh?

[ He still feels uncomfortable. That was weird.

Maybe he's thinking too hard and chalks it up to villain being a creepy villain like they can be. But rip anyone else who he thinks is staring at him this week. ]

What the hell's that supposed to mean?

I can handle this much better than they ever could.

[ Better him than them, but he doesn't say that. Because of course he'd never be worried about them, nope!! ]

Sure. That's why Hawks had to save you the first day. [ Or did you forget that Bakugou, because Dabi doesn't mind refreshing your memory.]

[ And just like that, his temper takes out every ounce of critical thought for the moment. Thanks for that, Dabi. ]

Huh?!

Shut the hell up! That's -- I'm not the only one who tried something on that day!

[ yw yw ]

The only one that needed to be carried off.
