cartesianism | WEEK 2: April 8th

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!

Is that what you got all worked up about?

[REAL FUCKIN' PISSY SHE DIDN'T GET TO SHOOT THE SECURITY DEVICE]

Why shouldn't we? Come on.

In my experience, alarms are things to be wary of.

[EYE ROLL OF THE CENTURY. nothing bolin ever says ever in his life will ever be trustworthy ever again so far as clarisse is concerned]

Whatever. Move.

[And that is all the warning anyone gets before Clarisse, putting her arrow in its quiver and setting her bow on her back as she marches over, kicks the glass door hard. Her clothes are all tough leather so she steps back and puts her arm over her face and that should be enough to cover her if this works; the rest of you can figure your own shit out.]

[The glass door shudders, the lock shatters, and the very top of the wall disenganges, the glass door is inclined out towards the street. Oh dear.

It's not completely broken yet, but it's almost out of its socket. Way to go, Clarisse]

[She looks a little disappointed that it looks like it's going to fall instead of shatter at her kick... After one quick second taken to evaluate the damage, Clarisse kicks the door again.]

[Olympia waits a second to see if by some chance the door will fall the rest of the way now. If it doesn't, she goes and punches it really hard.]

[It doesn't fall. However, Clarisse's next kick and Olympia's punch do the work rather well. The kick dislodges it from its rightful place, and the punch shatters it before it can even touch the street. The shards fall to the asphalt, causing a a lot of noise resonating in middle of the night -- even those down in the warehouse must have heard it.

Better run away!]

[ SCREAMS ]

What was that?!

What the hell???

[ And then he realizes it's time to HAUL ASS. Snagging her hand.]

Come on! Let's go before we're caught!

[YEAH SHE'S SUPER THE FUCK OUT OF HERE; SHE'S FAST AND KNOWS HOW TO HIDE AND OPERATE IN THE COVER OF THE NIGHT REAL WELL

BYE ASSHOLES]

[Olympia throws something at her as she goes.

It seems to be the cover of a copy of the guestbook.]

[She (presumably) has the sign and is booking it as soon as she hears that. Bye fellow human pyramid members!!]

[Take the sign to the lodge or to the motel -- your choice! -- and the task will be finished!]

[ Well shit, time to bail! ]

[Well then. Time to flee the scene before any unwanted attention gets drawn in~ BYE HUMAN LADDER FRIENDS.

(He'll catch up with you later to get his bandages back.)]

...Oh, boy.

[Millium sighs, then grasps her bucket of popcorn to her chest with both arms and cradles it protectively as she dashes for the exit. BYE GUYS, IT'S BEEN FUN, but if anyone's going to prison tonight it ain't her]

[Did she enjoy her time in the air earlier? Because Olympia takes a second to compare the relative lengths of their legs, then scoops her up again on her way out.]

[ CHEESE IT!

running like his life depends on it ]

[everyone else is running, so he does. too.

...but he's taking some popcorn and candy with him!]

[Strolling away very quickly while trying to look casual. He grabs a napkin to wipe off his shoes at least, so he doesn't leave greasy footprints everywhere.]

[Hm.

Kino will shoot a couple experimental shots at the sign to see if it'll fall, but barring that, it's probably time to nyoom.]

[Millium's still holding it up in the air, you-got-the-item style, if you still wanna shoot it, Clarisse.]

[NO THERE'S NO POINT ANYMORE IF IT'S ALREADY DESTROYED!!!]

[Then she will toss it dramatically to the floor. For extra destruction. Millium smash~]

[Olympia stomps on it for good measure.]
