WEEK 3: April 15th - April 19th

[cartesio]

Third Week

The peaceful times are over. Moloch von Zinzer was murdered, and Nine was sentenced as his murderer. Everyone in Cartesio knows that.

Although life goes on, it seems the town of Cartesio isn't going to forget the tourists' transgressions. Not only they commited larceny in the cinema, they also murdered and executed in their town! It's no surprise their hospitality towards the visitors has cooled down considerably.

Not only they're maintaining a tense cordiality with them, they also have started talking behind the visitors' backs. All kinds of rumors are starting to sprout, yet nobody seems to be willing to say it to the tourists' faces. Talking directly to most passerby makes them distrustful, and nobody seems to want to be in close quarters alone with them.

It's only matter of time before the relationship between tourists and Cartesio starts degrading even further.

In the lobby of the motel there's a few more brochures, and the maps have been updated once again.

investigation

[robitussin]

[Natalie doesn't go to the execution. She wakes up well before the execution takes place and assumes she'll be transported there regardless. When she isn't, though... She has no particular inclination to watch the proceedings.

Instead, she wanders around the town. The first thing she takes note of is the newly added graveyard. Even if the weather is good today, she feels cold looking at it, somehow. It doesn't have anything to do with the suddenly overcast weather surrounding the area, even if she takes notes of that.]

...Well, that's fucking creepy, to say the least.

[Before leaving the area, she goes to explore around the mausoleum. It's locked, but she wants to look around the area and see if there's anything notable or strange about it regardless.

After that, she comes across the chapel. It's hard to miss, especially with the large statue standing near the building. She regards it for a few moments, before speaking up to anyone who might be nearby.]

I honestly can't decide if that's really impressive or a little bit intimidating. Thoughts?

chapel

[clearities]

Ho~e? [ This place is most certainly new, and while she does pass by it, she didn't expect someone to ask her that question. It does catch her attention, however. ] Um... I think it's pretty amazing, but what is it? Or... who is it? [ She's not really all too familiar with religious statues, herself. ]

[robitussin]

[She shrugs, looking towards Sakura for a moment before turning her attention back to the statue.]

That's probably a question someone else would be better at answering. I can't remember the last time I've been to a church.

[clearities]

...oh. Maybe I'll see if I can't ask someone, later. [ An attempt is going to be made, nevertheless. ] It's still really amazing, though! That someone actually made this!

[robitussin]

...It's pretty cool, I guess. I wonder how long it took.

[clearities]

Maybe a long time... if it's detailed like this.

Mausoleum

[cartesio]

[The one thing you may find notable is that it's like a fortress. There's a couple windows of stained glass, depicting scenes of holy judgment, but they sure seem like the type to not shatter easily. The large steel doors, with a grid over them, have a padlock as big as your head. The mausoleum even is so tall you'd be unable to climb on it.

It's dark inside, you can't see anything]

[robitussin]

[Is she able to see anything if she gets closer to the windows?]

[cartesio]

[Nope, just...darkness. And nothing's moving inside -- or if there's anything, it's far from the window.

One single mausoleum in the graveyard, a mausoleum that's rather large and sinister...it just oozes unpleasantness. Doesn't seem like there's any way to see inside or enter, unfortunately]

graveyard

[burgerprince]

[Jughead, channeling his inner goth as he walks through the graves to Natalie, gives a shrug and a tilt of the head.]

It's a little cliche.

[robitussin]

[She frowns as she glances towards him, looking back up to the sky for another moment.]

You'd think I'd be used to stuff that makes no sense happening here, but somehow this is, like, above and beyond. You think any of the townspeople notice?

[burgerprince]

Doubt it.

[He puts his hands in his pockets and tenses a little tightly in his jacket. Damn graveyard chills.]

The only stuff they notice is what we do.

[robitussin]

[A sigh.]

They suck.

[And then a pause.]

...I know it might not be their fault or whatever, but they still suck.

graveyard

[goturshit]

[ kinzie, from where she's just kind of crouching down next to a grave: ]

I dunno, I was way into this kind of shit when I was your age.

[ kinzie you're 24 ]

[robitussin]

Secret agent or whatever or not, you're, like, barely older than me.

[But also, considering how she's crouched down:]

What are you doing?

[goturshit]

Yeah, but I've hacked the White House and been an FBI agent.

[ she says like this proves things ]

Reading graves. You know, for fun.

[robitussin]

Yeah, my statement still stands.

[But, she gives her a quizzical look at that next statement.]

...Right. For fun.

chapel;

[kingbomber]

[ Well, he was here at some nebulous point before causing a mess of it sometime later... ]

I think it's just asking to be blown up. But, maybe it could be a little impressive just because of how ducking big it is.

[robitussin]

[Immediately:]

Do not blow anything up, they hate us enough already.

[kingbomber]

So, blow this shit up sky high? Got it.

[ But he'll lean against one of the church walls instead for now, looking more amused than anything... ]

[robitussin]

[She rolls her eyes, voice thick with sarcasm.]

Maybe if he makes us do shit for him this week you'll get a hearing aid as a present.

chapel

[protectandselfserve]

Well, as they say... por que no los dos?

[He laughs, as usual, then turns back to admire the architecture.]

There's a lot of architecture that's designed to do both, and this is a great example of it.

[robitussin]

[She glances his way for a moment before looking back to the statue, considering it.]

You a big fan of stuff like this?

[protectandselfserve]

Well, I'm not particularly religious, but I like big, imposing architecture. It's very fun to look at, I think.

[robitussin]

[She gives a small noise of amusement.]

Yeah. Staring at huge, intimidating buildings? Love it. Can't get enough.
