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.

[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...?]

[relieable]

[hehe. he nods at her, then goes back to his own ice cream]

Sweet potato is really common where I come from. But I've also seen flavors like eel, and crab. Even cow tongue.

[doublelammy]

Ooh... sweet potato sounds really yummy, actuall—

Woah woah woah hang on a second you can eat cow tongue?!

[Is she fascinated or disgusted? It is a mystery.]

[relieable]

Oh yeah. People eat anything these days. Cow tongues, pig ears, sheep intestines.

[STOP]

[doublelammy]

[gaaaasp]

Whaaaat? Why?! ...Do they taste good?

[She's just gonna shovel another spoonful of ice cream into her mouth while looking on expectantly.]

[relieable]

I... Don't know. I've never had any of 'em. But they're pretty popular back on my world.

[doublelammy]

Huh. [She's maybe a little disappointed, but she settles down quickly enough.] Hm~ I wonder what kindsa things you could make into ice cream from my world!

Maybe the bugs we collected the shells from...

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯ THIS CANON,]

[relieable]

[oh?] Like I said, people make all sorts of ice cream flavors. I'm sure there's bug-flavored ice cream out there, too.

[BUT WHY WOULD YOU]

[doublelammy]

Neeeeat~

[She takes a spoonfull of the bubblegum-butterscotch mixture and pops it into her mouth.

She looks thoughtful for a moment.]

...Hmm. Mira might've been right about this one.

[relieable]

...Hm? Mira?

[doublelammy]

Oh. She was here the first week. She was the one who hid the bullet in the ice cream.

[aka THE MURDERER]

She said she picked bubblegum 'cause it was the worst.

[HIGH PRAISE...?]

[relieable]

[Osomatsu stops mid-bite and stares.

she hid the bullet in the ice cream.

he slowly puts down his spoon]

I... See....

[doublelammy]

And I dunno. Like, it's definitely not the worst thing I've ever tasted? 'Cause like, I ate food at Garrelia Fortress, n' you don't get much worse than military food, but...

[MILLIUM THAT IS NOT EVEN A LITTLE THE POINT HERE]

[relieable]

[UHHH. Osomatsu moves his hand and sort of places it over her bowl]

You probably shouldn't eat it, if you don't like it. [in case there are more bullets in there]

[doublelammy]

But that'd be a waste...

[Sigh.]

Ehhh, you're probably right. It's not a waste if it's bad.

[relieable]

[he pulls his hand away]

You can have some of mine, if you want. I don't have butterscotch or bubblegum.

[doublelammy]

Ehhh? No, that's okay! My other side here is chocolate, I can just eat that.

[Who puts bubblegum and chocolate ice cream in the same sundae]

'Sides, I can always just buy more! Infinite money n' all that.

[relieable]

Yeah, you're right! I still am worried Sarge is gonna make us pay it back, though.

[doublelammy]

Yeah... I don't see how he would, though.

[A pause, and then a devillish little grin.]

We can "pay him back" after this is all over, though, that's for sure.

[relieable]

[ah, Millium. Osomatsu truly loves you]

You, uh... You got something in mind?
