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.

[ While Eric definitely receives a bit of a look - the same one all the visitors have gotten, from the townspeople in general, the slight wariness - the priest shakes his head gently. ]

It's not my job to turn away those who choose to pray, child.

I'm Catholic.

[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.]

[cartesio]

[ The priest raises an eyebrow at that tone. This is a Catholic church, so he doesn't quite see the issue...but that offer, well. ]

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.

[yonosoymaria]

[Eric startles visibly, but recovers quickly enough. He was expecting Episcopalians at best... but there's a large sign visibly listing the denomination somewhere he should have seen it, isn't there.]

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.

[cartesio]

[ Not a large sign, per se, but it's around.Eric's offer is met with a slow, appreciative smile. ]

You know, I like someone who takes a step forward like this. Alright, son. Our good chapel welcomes you.

[yonosoymaria]

Thank you. I... what exactly was done to the statue, if I may ask? The paper didn't give any details.

[cartesio]

[ The priest heaves a heavy sigh and shakes his head. ]

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

[yonosoymaria]

So the damage is extensive, then... I don't want to think it was one of my fellow travellers, but that's a rather unusual sort of vandalism... I'm sorry.

[cartesio]

[ The priest's lips quirk at the mention of the others, but he sighs and shakes his head. ]

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