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.

[shooting range]

[Eight shots, in rapid succession. Her aim today is worse than yesterday.

She sighs heavily as she lowers her weapon, clearly agitated and distracted. Those who were with her on the mission last night are probably more than aware of why.

Doesn't look like blasting targets is helping her much, though.]

Mgh... okay, okay. Maintenance and reload...

[She's talking herself through this, but she's not being particularly gentle with that revolver. Millium, you can't take out your anger on a gun, please stop.]

[around town]

[The sight of Millium wandering the streets entirely too quickly and not watching where she's going shouldn't be a surprise to anyone at this point.

What might be a little surprising is the look on her face while she's doing it. She has today's paper clutched in her hand, her mouth is set in a thin line and her eyebrows are knit in... anger? Worry? Something as she sets off on whatever her mission is.

Atop her head is a cute little kitty-eared cap, adorned with pom-poms and a pin with a smiling yellow face. Shame it doesn't seem to fit her one bit right now.

Either stop her, or get out of her way, because she's not going to move to avoid anyone in her path.]

[police station - npc interaction]

[She's at least reasonably polite when she enters the police station, just opening the door and quietly making her entrance like a rational human being. She's even speaking at a nice indoor volume when she approaches whoever she can find to talk.]

Hi. Excuse me... [She does have manners! Who knew?] I have a couple of questions about someone.

around town

[clearities]

Millium-chan! [ In fact, Sakura's definitely going to run after her because this is important and she actually has something to actually tell her as she chases her rather frantically because, yeah. She's concerned. She's absolutely worried because she knows what this is about. ]

[doublelammy]

[Sakura has successfully gotten Millium's attention!

She stops dead, turning on her heel back toward Sakura.]

Yeah? What d'you want?

[She's not angry at Sakura, but she wears her emotions on her sleeve always. There's no hiding it here.]

[clearities]

I... [ she hesitates, for a moment as she catches herself before looking with serious eyes ] ...wanted you to be the first to know, since it's about Rean-san. I talked to the Sergeant-san. He said he erased Rean-san's memories. About the murder. And about Sergeant-san.

Shooting range

[quickpersuader]

[...

Well, it's not like Kino doesn't understand the feeling. While Millium's reloading, Kino moves to the stall next to her.]

If there's someone you want dead, you shouldn't mistreat your weapon before you can shoot.

[...Wait. Wasn't it just for self defense...?

Then again, even Kino's more stonyfaced than usual.]

[doublelammy]

[Millium jumps a little at Kino's voice, but relaxes quickly enough.

She's quiet for a moment as she works.]

...Don't want to kill him yet. ["Yet."] It's against the rules. He'll kill me.

I can't die 'til I save Rean.

[That narrows down who "he" could be, then.]

[quickpersuader]

[Sure does - not that Kino really needed the hint.]

Then it's even more important to take care of it. Make sure it's ready when the chance comes.

[And, standing in the next door stall- begins to fire. The shots are all one after the other at a quick, steady pace.

Needless to say they all hit the target dead on. Kino only stops to reload.]

It's better to be calm when the time is right, anyway.

shooting range

[marmoron]

[Keith's observing this from a little further back. After all that happened last night, it's not like he doesn't share similar sentiments. But of course, it's on a different scale, isn't it.]

Take a break.

[doublelammy]

[And that earns Keith a glare over her shoulder.]

How can I, if he's still here?!

[marmoron]

[He'll approach slowly, setting a backpack he's got slung over his shoulder down on the ground. He isn't wearing his armor today and is dressed in more casual clothing for once.]

This isn't actually helping him, is it?

[The words might be a little harsh, but his tone isn't.]

We're going to help everyone here, Milium. But we have to stay focused.

wildcard you know the drill etc

[robitussin]

[Yesterday was... Confusing to say the least, and today has been long. If Natalie feels that way, she's sure Millium must be experiencing it twofold.

Maybe that has something to do with the way she doesn't hesitate long before approaching the younger girl when she sees her in the diner. She seems distracted, and Natalie can't really blame her.]

...Hey.

[doublelammy]

[Millium is pretty distracted, staring out one of the windows with her chin in her hands and absently picking at an order of fries.

She looks up when she realizes she's being spoken to, though.]

Oh, Natalie. Hi.

[Yeah, she's not in the brightest of spirits.]

What's up?

[robitussin]

...I mean, a lot.

[Everything happens so much, etc, etc.]

How are you, um... You know.

[How are you doing, she means to say.]

around town;

[kingbomber]

[ So, today's been mildly eventful already, but Bakugou's got a lot on his mind around this time...after all, no one's struck just yet even if he's pretty sure the guy who got struck is likely dead. So far NOT good but hopefully it'll remain 'so far so good' in terms of anyone else committing murder against another.

A good birthday present for him would be if tomorrow no one died, and maybe that sounds pretty sad, but that is where we're at today. That being said, he's not sulking, but he's definitely keeping more of an eye out on people. Perhaps out of a sense of necessity than anything, however with Millium, he stops in his walk. ]

Oi, spy girl. What's going on with you?

[doublelammy]

[She stops when spoken to, although the way she bristles is rather unlike her, even when she'd been miserable over the weekend.]

...oh, that's right. You missed the mission last night, didn't you.

[She sighs, gripping the newspaper a little tighter.]

You knew I had a friend here before, right? [Honestly, she can't remember who knows what at this point.]

[kingbomber]

[ Yeah he's definitely going to notice that... ]

I did.

[ He doesn't even sound all that regretful he did, unsurprisingly. As usual the Sergeant can kiss his ass, etc, etc. ]

You mentioned it in passing once in the beginning. What, did something happen to your friend?

shootingg range

[odasaku]

Millium, calm down.

[ oda's going to put a hand on her shoulder. ]

You're going to damage the gun.

[doublelammy]

[Millium freezes up under that touch, but after a brief moment turns to look up over her shoulder at Oda.]

I...

[He's right, though, so she just sighs heavily.]

D'you know anywhere I could go around here to break somethin' and not get myself all hurt, then? Because I really need to right about now.

[odasaku]

[ oda thinks about it for a second ]

We could go throw some rocks in the lake. I bet I can throw harder.

shooting range

[pursuitofdeath]

You're likely to hurt yourself, if you go in fighting while you're distracted.

[...he knows. Well, to a certain extent he understands the nature of what's bothering her even without all the details.

And since she listened to him when he had so much to say, he's here to listen to her too, if she wants to talk.

But more importantly, to prevent her from putting a hole in anything she doesn't mean to.]

[doublelammy]

[She pauses, quiet for a moment.]

...I don't care if I get hurt.

The only important thing is that he makes it out okay.

[And right back to what she was doing. Thankfully, there's little chance of her putting unintentional holes in things right now, the gun is empty and she's just doing some maintenance. But still.]

[pursuitofdeath]

[...ah. Well if that doesn't sound familiar.]

It would be much more difficult to do that if you injured yourself. The odds are already stacked unfavorably against us.

If I were you, I wouldn't trust his safety to the rest of us.

[It's a very logical way of saying that it does matter, her well being.]

NPC

[cartesio]

[ Nanette as usual is the one to field the questions. Funny how that goes. She looks at Millium, studying, with a light frown.

She's not very about the tourists, but she'll still try. ]

Is this someone involved with the police?

[doublelammy]

[C'mon, she's a little girl! She's harmless. Probably.]

No, but...

[She holds up the newspaper, pointing to Rean's name.]

I just want to know when he moved here. That's all. If there's somewhere else I can look, I can get outta your hair... I don't wanna be a bother...

[...She's definitely playing up the sad little girl vibes for this, but it's not too much of a stretch. She's at their mercy for information, here, after all.]

[cartesio]

[ It's sort of working, honestly. Sad little girls are hard to ignore. ]

Oh, him? Uh... If I can recall correctly... A few weeks ago. Three, I believe.
