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.

NPC please?
I understand if we aren't welcome here, but...
[He's distracted, fidgety, and looks unquestionably nervous about having the priest's attention, if he's got it. Surprisingly, he's dressed somewhat normally - those dated trousers that had been with the change of clothes in the closet paired with a
looted from the ruined clothes storenew shirt and vest.]And after that... he's trying to be less of a recluse. Honest. Might just come off as sort of creepy, but he's at least acknowledging anyone who walks by when he's sitting in the lobby at the motel.
Later, he can be found at the diner, growing visibly frustrated with the jukebox.

[He's just going to scowl at it, and finally picks a song at random, before turning around.]
Mind if I join you?

[a-awkwardly rearranges her plates and utensils and, like, the untouched condiments and napkin holders?? fuckin what do you do if someone is sitting at the same table as you. she has managed to make the whole setup more inconvenient than it was before]

It's not my job to turn away those who choose to pray, child.
Re: NPC
[He says it like he's admitting he's got a "social disease". In his defense, the America he's visited still has places where it's considered the same thing.]
If that's not a problem, then... it wasn't just that, I... before I came here I trained as a sculptor. I've never restored a statue before, but this is... I might be able to help.
[Little does he know that it'll get worse. BOY, WON'T THAT BE FUN.]

You're offering to help restore our prized statue? [ He hums lightly, in thought. ] I've no problems with your denomination, as it aligns with my own. Truthfully, I wasn't expecting an offer like this, but... I can't say it's unwelcome.
no subject
I'm not certain how much I can do, but... I couldn't not offer. Not if it's one of my fellow travellers who did this, or even if it wasn't.
no subject
You know, I like someone who takes a step forward like this. Alright, son. Our good chapel welcomes you.

I... That's the troubling part, see... It's like there was a...localized explosion.

It is...not my place to lay blame. I thank you, for your words.
