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.

[hmm. it's raining. Osomatsu leaves the lodge and decides to mull over what just happened. he doesn't understand it, why the Sergeant wants people to die. it's nonsense.

in the afternoon, Osomatsu ducks into the ice cream parlor to hide out from the rain. how nice, this place seems much more cheerful than the rest of the town. he orders a big sundae and sits down to eat it. it may be cold outside, but who is going to pass up on ice cream?

later on, Osomatsu wants to look around more. he heads to the chapel. he's definitely not religious, but exploring the town is one of the only things that keeps him busy. he checks to see if there are any townsfolk in here, but it seems like he's alone for now.

finally, he spends his last few hours awake at the tavern. he's drinking pretty heavily, already has two beers in him]

tavern

[unfashionably]

[ Honestly, he's kind of going through the motions right now. Walking around, watching people, looking over the town, so when he comes into the tavern at first he wants to just sit in silence and think. But he spots someone familiar, spots the look in their eyes, and he heads over. ]

You keep drinking like that and you'll have a hell of a headache tomorrow.

[relieable]

[heeeey it's his good buddy, the Dragon Slayer! Osomatsu perks up upon seeing him. what a nice guy, worrying about this alcoholic like him]

Hehe! You're probably right! [he slurs, not looking the least bit bothered by the lecture] Though, it doesn't really matter. If I get a headache, I can just sleep it off.

[unfashionably]

That really what you wanna do? [ No judgment, it's an honest question. ]

[relieable]

[hmmm. Osomatsu scratches his chest, becoming somber for a second]

...Just seems like it'd be easier, sleeping off the day. It's not like there's that much t'do around here.

[also he's homesick. he wants this pain to stop!!]

[unfashionably]

Maybe you're right. [ About the sleeping part, at least. There's a short pause before he takes a seat next to Osomatsu and gently runs his hand over the counter. There's no special reason for it, he's just thinking. ]

To be honest, I'm not really in a position where I can talk you out of it. If you wanna drink until you pass out to try and skip tomorrow, the best I can do is carry you back after.

[relieable]

[Sting's a good boy! Osomatsu laughs lightly and drinks some more]

I should be okay t'walk, really. [hic] This'll be m-my last one! Probably! But if you really wanna carry me back, I'm not gonna tell y-you not to.

[he probably shouldn't sleep the day away. there are so many people to get to know before... well, whatever happens, happens]

[unfashionably]

If you're gonna stumble around or fall, yeah. It might be better.

[ But one drink shouldn't make it necessary so, eh, he'll just watch and wait for now. See what happens. ]

[relieable]

[hehe! he's going to be carried back to the motel! awesome!

he pushes his drink to the side for a moment, though, wanting to talk]

You doin' okay?

tavern

[pursuitofdeath]

[Dazai has a habit of coming here— it’s no Lupin, but it has a nice enough atmosphere. That’s the part that’s more nostalgic. There are some people he hasn’t had much opportunity to talk to yet too. A little friendly conversation could be nice.]

Getting drunk alone is no fun— mind if I join you~?

[relieable]

[and Osomatsu is definitely up for company! he looks up and grins at the other man. he's tipsy, on the verge of drunk, but he should be able to hold a conversation]

'course not! Have a seat, buddy. [he loves meeting new people, too, and recognizes Dazai from the meetings, and guestbook. he knows that Dazai is a visitor, like him]

tavern

[robitussin]

[As usual, this place is quieter than the diner, so she heads here to try and think. All the same, she can't help but notice him there, especially as he continues to drink.]

You might want to slow down there, man.

[relieable]

[Osomatsu spins in his chair a few times, laughing, before he stops to look at her. she's doing that thing again, where she's concerned about him, and he's pleased]

I'm a'right! I've only had two!

[robitussin]

Right, only two. Maybe you should stop at only two for a while.

[relieable]

[he looks down at his mug, then points to it, whining]

But I don't wanna waste this one. [he definitely will slow down, since she's worried]

[robitussin]

...Fair enough.

[Still, she has to ask:]

Do you do this often?

[relieable]

You mean drink? Yeah, I drink all the time back at home.

[robitussin]

[She pauses as she takes a seat next to him, glancing his way.]

You don't think you should maybe... I don't know, not do that?

ice cream parlor

[doublelammy]

[Maybe other people are fools who will pass up on ice cream, but Millium is not!

And hey, would you look at that, someone else who has a sundae of equal size to the one she just ordered.]

Oso~

[At least she sounds peppy enough as she walks over, sundae in hand. Absolutely none of these flavors look like they should go together, what is she doing.]

Hiya. Mind if I sit here?

[relieable]

[she's a genius, that's what! maybe she'll find a flavor combination no one has thought of before]

I don't mind at all! [he nods to her] Have a seat!

[doublelammy]

[There is no one on this earth that should want butterscotch and bubblegum.

She slips into the seat across from him with a smile.]

Mm~ I'm so glad this place is open again!

[relieable]

Me too! I mean, I didn't see it when it was first around, but Sakura-chan talked about it a couple times. So I've been waiting for it to show up.

[he gets a big spoonful of ice cream and stuffs it into his mouth. man! it tastes wonderful!]

[doublelammy]

Hehe, yeah, I definitely spent waaaaay too much time here my first week.

[She accents that with her own big spoonful of ice cream. Too big, in fact, and she manages to get some on her cheek.]

I didn't even know ice cream came in this many flavors!

[relieable]

[ah... Osomatsu grabs a napkin and just leans in, wiping at Millium's cheek with it. he'd probably do something like this with his own family, so it doesn't seem weird to him]

Oh, yeah. Ice cream can come in any flavor you want. Back at home, there are brands that make savory ice creams.

[some flavors in Namja Town are wacky, dude]

[doublelammy]

[Oh!]

Oop, thanks.

[She doesn't think twice about it, instead just taking smaller bites from here on in as she listens. As for what she's listening to—]

Woooah, really? Like what?

[She is entirely too interested in this. Is she... getting ideas...?]
