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!

[Reel #2!

Once Nine and Jughead take off the other reel, Dazai can insert this one. The quality is better. Once it's stable it shows a map. Most of it is greyed out, but there are a few rooms that are different.

First, there's the projection room you're in. Once you open the door near the film rack, there's a hallway that leads to the lobby, which also has a section named as 'concession stand'. Further down the hallway, there are stairs, with a very large lock symbol over them.

Other than the places mentioned, it doesn't seem like there are any other areas for you to get access to]

[pursuitofdeath]

Interesting. It seems me have a scavenger hunt on our hand.

[At least he seems to be having fun.]

Shall we go together?

[linearcrash]

Jughead just opened that door over there. Guess it wants us to gank the logo or something.

[ Let's follow the map dude in a frumpy looking trench coat. ]

[quickpersuader]

[GUESS WE'RE FOLLOWING ON THIS NEW ADVENTURE. They get to be the meatshields and go ahead this time.]

[cartesio]

[Way to go, guys, you're on the hallway!

As mentioned before, there are two places you can go to: the lobby and the locked stairs. Where could your objective be?]

[linearcrash]

[ Let's head for the lobby. what do they see? ]

[robitussin]

[Natalie who has been here the whole time is following after them towards the lobby, wary as she does.]

Anyone else have a bad feeling about this?

[linearcrash]

I keep expecting that Sarge bastard to pop out of something, you know?

[ Like surprise, he's been watching the whole time ]

[cartesio]

[The outside.

Behind large doors of glass.

Near the entrance there's a quaint concession stand, several popcorn machines, a soda fountain, and other assorted candy. Anything you'd wish you had when going to the movies, pretty much]

[carbide]

[So these doors. If Olympia tries to open them, is that gonna work?]

[cartesio]

[The doors creak, but don't open. Whatever locking mechanism these doors have, it's pretty weak. Not only that, the glass is also thin and looks like even a rock could shatter them.

There's a security alarm device on the very top of the doors. Looks like it'll activate as soon as anything happens to these doors]

[silvertongueheir]

[I'm assuming the logo isn't painted on the doors or any of the cups/popcorn holders in the concession stand?]

[cartesio]

[It's in all the paper cups. Nothing unusual about the cups, though]

[robitussin]

[Time to give a better look to this concession stand. Is there anything noticeably unusual about it?]

[cartesio]

[There is, indeed.

Most of the cinema is dark, although it's easy to look around, everything is supposed to be off. Despite that, one of the popcorn machines is warm, and has the lights on.

Take a look inside?

[linearcrash]

[ He's going to investigate the concession stand. Hopping over the counter to peer around. Also going to help himself to some candy. YOLO ]

See anything?

[cartesio]

[Natalie sees something!]

[pursuitofdeath]

[While some of the others check the lobby-- what if he snuck off to check out the locked stairs?]

[quickpersuader]

[What if Kino quietly followed from a slight distance?]

[cartesio]

[Kino and Dazai are checking the terrain beyond the lobby!

There's a sign right before the stairs start. 'Warehouse', it says, pointing down. And indeed, at the end of the downwards stairs there's a door with an ancient-looking padlock. Of the kind only an ancient-looking key would fit]

[pursuitofdeath]

No telling how big it will be-- we'll probably need a few heavy lifters.

[Waves around his noodle arms casually.]

[linearcrash]

That's what I'm here for, yo.

[ He's a strong tank. ]

[silvertongueheir]

[Franciscus follows, looking around for anything with the logo on it.]

[cartesio]

[When Franciscus peeks onto the lobby of the cinema, he'll find there's indeed that logo plastered on many places, most notably a rug on the floor. Pretty much makes clear what the logo is. The sign itself doesn't seem to be placed on any of the walls, though]
