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!

I can't keep pets while I travel...

[That's just the way of things.]

But even if I killed her here, there's no point, since there's already food. It isn't like I have to kill her to survive, or anything like that.

[doublelammy]

You could have given her up for adoption...!

[Millium's logic when it comes to life or death situations is. Not excellent. This will only be further proven over the weekend.

She makes a little sad noise before resuming her previous position, but she still looks ready to dive and cover this chicken at a moment's notice.]

Okay... you better not! She's cute...

[quickpersuader]

Well, I did want to eat something besides portable rations on the road...

[Just gonna. Own up to that one.]

I don't like killing pointlessly. But my life has to take priorities over others.

[Sorry Yakitori, good thing you can't understand this conversation.]

[doublelammy]

I guess that's true...

[Sigh! She strokes Yakitori lovingly.]

It's okay, Yakitori. You'll be safe this time... mommy will protect you...

[Has she already adopted this chicken as her own? Dear lord.]

[quickpersuader]

Are you planning to adopt it?

[doublelammy]

[She hadn't actually considered this, but:]

If you won't love her, someone has to.

[A pause for thought.]

Dunno what I'll do with her once I get home. Maybe I can shove her off on Rean?

[Meanwhile, in Erebonia, Rean feels a sense of dread and doesn't know why.]

[quickpersuader]

If that's the case, you won't mind feeding her from now on.

[Free Kino of this duty.]

[doublelammy]

Yeah, I can take that over.

So long as you promise not to eat her while I'm not looking!

[DISTRUST]

[quickpersuader]

[FREEDOM.]

I can write instructions later. And as long as there's other free food, I don't have any reason to kill it.

[No promises otherwise, though. And Kino won't speak for the others (Clarisse) either.]

[doublelammy]

Yay! You're safe now, Yakitori~!

[This chicken is so getting renamed the minute someone tells her what that means. In the meantime, it's getting a hug.]

[quickpersuader]

Which room was yours again? I can leave the instructions there once I'm done.

[doublelammy]

Eighteen.

[quickpersuader]

Got it.

[And sure enough, Millium will later find a sheet of paper with instructions on how to care for a chicken. It's surprisingly thorough...]

[doublelammy]

[Millium is now the proud mommy of one (1) chicken.

Someone please tell her what its name means so she can rename it.]
