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.

R-Rean?!

[YEAH, SHE SURE AS FUCK KNOWS THIS FACE. WHAT THE FUCK??? WHAT THE FUCK,]

[carbide]

Do you know him?

[Oh look, she's gone all blank-expression-y again.]

[robitussin]

—Wait, that's the guy?

[doublelammy]

[sorry, busy freaking out, call back later]

[cartesio]

Millium!

[Rean's eyes light up with recognition. Despite the situation, he actually laughs]

Of course you'd be here! Nice job with the sharks, by the way.

[........]

Wait, no, this isn't the time for this! You're all breaking our machines!

[doublelammy]

I— you—

What are you still doing here?! Weren't you supposed to go home?!

A-and what do you mean "our" machines?!

[cartesio]

You didn't know? I live here. I work here.

[Here as in the town]

[quickpersuader]

Since when?

[Kino's still got the gun pointed at the ground, finger over, but not on the trigger.]

[cartesio]

Since I moved here. It wasn't too long ago.

[Still...this level of rapport with the workers -- and the rank he has -- isn't obtained in a short time, that's for sure]

Is this the time to talk about this? Please get going.

[doublelammy]

I— but you're not... you came here three weeks ago with me, we didn't "move" here, we...?!

[Millium.exe has crashed. Give her a minute or twenty to reboot...]

[cartesio]

[Oh dear. Rean approaches, looking worried]

Millium, are you okay?

[carbide]

[Olympia doesn't move, but she makes a show of watching closely.]

[doublelammy]

M-me?! [Looks like she's still okay enough to yell at him...] Why are you asking me that?!

What about you?! You don't live here! We need to get home! T-to Jusis and Alisa and everybody, to— to Valimar, Gramps still needs us—

[If anyone wants to get the child out of here, they're going to have to take her. Rean has taken priority.]

[robitussin]

[...Just gonna put a hand on her shoulder from behind, carefully.]

[quickpersuader]

[...Well, if that's how it's gonna be.

Kino's going to push past and book it for the exit ig.]

[silvertongueheir]

[He's just going to slowly and carefully back down the stairs.]

[protectandselfserve]

...Oh.

So we can check out any time we like after accomplishing something slightly heinous, but we can never actually leave?

...

But we're missing the lovely place and the lovely face...

[robitussin]

Fuck you, that's going to be stuck in my head for the next three days.

[Priorities.]

[protectandselfserve]

Heh heh, sorry! Just couldn't resist.

[cartesio]

I don't see why you can't leave the town. Besides the obvious -- you can't leave the town if you're in jail.

[He points at the machines]

Jail you all would be at if you had done more damage to our machines. Please, don't do anything like this ever again.

[protectandselfserve]

Wellllll, there are some extenuating circumstances that I'm not sure you'd believe right now.

But hey, I'm fine leaving now! Who else wants to head out and go back to bed?

[relieable]

I'm with you, man.

[because he doesn't want to go to jail. he's too pretty and soft]

...Still would like t'know what the hell's goin' on.

[protectandselfserve]

I don't think we're going to find that out here and now, I'm afraid. We might have to look into it a little harder, but that'd probably be better after a good sleep.

[robitussin]

Let's leave immediately!

[protectandselfserve]

Yep, let's head on out!

[HE SAYS, CHEERFULLY]
