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.

[Unfair advantage, she's sitting in a booth! But there is one way to handle this – by getting out of said booth.
And charging at him with her dish full of ice cream to smush the entire dish into his face.]
no subject
[ And because this rper likes the rule of funny a lot more than Bakugou getting out of this, for some ungodly reason, he trips over like the damn dish he had DEFINITELY dropped a little later after depleting it because he definitely forgot about it. For once quick footing be damned.
So the ice cream STILL in his hands goes FLYING at her in close range because he lets them go in his surprise and he probably also gets some ice cream onto his face before he hits the ground.
That about sums up how today's been going. ]

Millium winds up coated in ice cream due to all of this, but man is it ever worth it for what follows.
It's okay, Bakugou, Millium will follow you down to the floor as she plonks down with her legs splayed out like an "M," practically doubled over in laughter.]

Ugh, I can't believe I thought this shit was a good idea.
[ Bakugou is now sitting up and wiping at the ice cream on him...and whatever that moment was is totally gone with the wind. It'll probably never happen again
because he's dying. ]You really think this is funny, huh?
no subject
Ehehe... yeah!
Well... maybe not funny? But it was fun! Even if we gotta go do laundry now...
I don't get to play around like this anymore...
[She's still giggling to herself, smiling ear to ear and with a healthy glow to her cheeks.
Maybe that moment is gone with the wind for Bakugou, but that's okay. She's thrilled to pieces, and he won't be able to take this from her.]
no subject
Anyway, he's going to act like the smile didn't happen, kthx. ]
Don't remind me. The only other set I have is this fancy shit I got from who the hell knows when after playing around in that casino.
[ And looks like he's going to be stuck in that for a short while. Oh the horror. ]
By 'anymore' you mean because we've been stuck in this shithole for three weeks now?
no subject
It's okay, she won't mention it. The secret will die with him.]
Aww, but the fancy stuff is fun! Although I haven't been wearing mine, either. I like climbing trees too much to get it all torn up.
[Looks like the only one horrified here is Bakugou...]
Nah. Even if I go back, it'll be the same.
I'm an Ironblood. Claire and Lechter and Gramps, they have jobs to do. They don't have time to play with me.
no subject
Millium has now achieved Social Rank 6 of the Strength Arcana: Secret Keeper]It's a pain in the ass to do anything in clothing like that.
[ But, one time Kirishima had gotten him to wear one set. ]
Ironblood? That has something to do with that thing you mentioned a week back, doesn't it?
no subject
Yeah, I get you there.
[But to the other topic:]
Yeah. It's my job. We work for the Chancellor – Gramps. ["Gramps" is probably not actually her grandfather, then, if she hasn't already told Bakugou that.] Claire's captain of the Railway Military Police, n' Lechter's the head of the Intelligence Division. My division.
So... we all have pretty important stuff to do, but especially them.
[The problem with being a child in the affairs of adults...]
no subject
If I actually can find my tablet pen nothing will stop me from doing a parody doodle]Doesn't sound like this 'Gramps' of yours is your real grandfather.
[ She certainly has not, as of yet, but now that she's said it like this, it doesn't take much for him to figure. But now that she's told him this, he's curious about something else.
Sure, the answer might be obvious, but it's better to know than to assume sometimes. ]
Tell me something - you actually like being a spy? Is it something you want to do until whenever?
no subject
Huh? Yeah, no, he's not. He's our boss, I just call him that. I don't really have a family, not like you guys do... most I've got is Al, my "sister," and that's only 'cause she's a part of the same series.
[She doesn't sound upset at that, per se, but... wistful, still.
But... hm. That's not the first time she's been asked that question, but...]
I mean, I like it okay, I guess? [She pauses, and her voice softens. Honesty.] ...I liked being a student better. But... it is how it is, y'know? I'm an Ironblood, 'til Gramps doesn't need me anymore.
[She doesn't outright say "no," but that's certainly not a "yes."]
