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!

Morning - Around town

[Franciscus pretty much disappeared into his room for a long while after yesterday's escapades. He has a thoughtful expression on his face when he leaves the hotel this morning, though. He'll wave down anyone who he saw at the theater last night with a curious expression.]

Did you receive a personal item this morning as well?

Afternoon - Park

[After the morning greetings, Franciscus heads to the park, where he figures he can be more alone. He stands beside a tree that shields him from being directly seen and takes out the dissection blade he's received. Whoever comes close might notice him rubbing at some kind of engraving on the handle.]

morning

[clearities]

I got one of my cards back, actually. [ She takes out the card from her pocket, revealing the card. He'll notice that there are parts around it that seem to be transparent, though! ]

I can't believe you have a specific icon for that

[silvertongueheir]

That's good to hear. It seems to depict...some kind of automation? [He looks at it from a few different angles, just to make sure that it's not an optical illusion.]

i actually have.... several

[clearities]

It's supposed to be a camera. [ It isn't supposed to be an optical illusion, but what he'll notice that if he sees it from the back, the parts that are clear are different. ]

[silvertongueheir]

[Goddamn that's trippy.]

I see. Though I haven't seen one with a quill pen attachment before.

[clearities]

Mmhm. It's really different from most cameras, though. Like... it can record past events and show them and even make three dimensional figures.

[silvertongueheir]

Ah. Similar to a hologram projector, then?

morning

[carbide]

I received an item.

[Olympia happens to have the thing on her, and pulls it out. It's a rock! Specifically, it's a pretty, dark crystal with flecks in it that look like stars.]

Can't believe Olympia is Charlie Brown

[silvertongueheir]

[He has to lean a bit closer to notice the flecks. Still, it's very worth admiring, in his opinion.] Ah, that's quite the beautiful specimen of crystal you have there. Did you collect it yourself?

what if she throws it

[carbide]

Yes, I've been collecting Starry Shards like this for some time.

the most primitive murder weapon

[silvertongueheir]

[Well, that's a pretty obviously descriptive name. Still, it's not like his world doesn't have things like that as well.] Are they valuable?

she could befriend sakura that way. that's how it works with magical girls.

[carbide]

Not particularly, but there's a legend associated with them. Supposedly, they're remnants of a light that once rained down upon Armoroad, healing all wounds.

[silvertongueheir]

Really? I'm guessing these shards don't possess healing abilities, though? [They probably would be valuable them]

morning

[doublelammy]

[Millium blinks sleepily at him, but wanders over when called. Looks like she's a little worn out from last night.]

Huh?

...Oh, yeah.

[She reaches into a pouch at her side to produce a flat, roughly oval-shaped object,] and holds it out for Franciscus to view.]

My ARCUS unit. It's not turning on or doing anything, though.

[silvertongueheir]

[He has to look at her for a long time to try and make sure this is actually Millium and not some weird pod-person.]

I see. Does it usually require charging?

[doublelammy]

Umm... not really? It kinda recharges on its own, I think. I never really looked into the specs.

I think Sarge prolly just disabled it somehow. Guess he doesn't want me doing anything cool.

[silvertongueheir]

What can it usually do, then? Could it contact someone outside the town?

[doublelammy]

[She nods.]

Yeah, it's got phone functionality.

It also lets me use arts with the quartz in the middle. And if anyone else had one, I could combat link with 'em.

[silvertongueheir]

What kind of "arts" could you use with it? That terminology sounds more similar to magic than technology.

Morning

[streetwolf]

Nah, only thing I got was from the beginning of the week. Unless you count the massive bear the casino people gave me?

[Not sure what to do with that.]

[silvertongueheir]

Not that, unless it was actually a toy from your childhood or something similar. They gave me a rather gaudy neon sign.

cw - neglect? I'm not sure what warning to use but probably needs one.

[streetwolf]

[That's getting horrible snort of laughter. He's not even remotely upset.]

Nah. I'd be lucky to get a blanket. They really give kids stuff like this? What's the sign for?

[silvertongueheir]

[Franciscus' eyebrows both raise up somewhat at that comment.] Not always that large, but plenty of children have toys like that. [He shrugs at the question.] It simply says "Winner." With an exclamation mark. I suppose it's meant to be some kind of novelty.

[streetwolf]

Really, I was thinking of throwing it on one of the kids and seeing how that goes. I'd give it to the pissy girl but I think she'd kill me. [He's quite literally going to toss it at someone.]

It's weird. I don't think I'm ever going to understand stuff like that.

[silvertongueheir]

That sounds like a good use of it. I admit I am less sure who would want a neon sign.
