WEEK 3: April 15th - April 19th



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.

[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.

[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?

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.

[A sigh.]

They suck.

[And then a pause.]

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

[Some of them aren't so bad, mostly the people who run the diner, but he agrees with the broad part of Natalie's sentiment.]

Some of it might be Sarge's doing, but it might just be narrow-mindedness for the rest. It's a common trait in small towns.

[She scoffs, kicking her foot absentmindedly against the ground.]

It takes a special kind of narrow mindedness to not realize people are being pushed to murder each other.

That's probably just Sarge. They just see a bunch of lawless strangers going wild with bloodlust. You really think they'd believe us if we told them, anyway?

[Would anyone? This situation's weird as hell.]

They're quick to judge us, if the newspaper is anything to go by.

[That he boils more down to narrow mindedness, and he has more of an issue with.]
