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.

We don't know if it would have been enough to stop the Sergeant from whatever he did.

[Two more shots. Kino stops to reload.]

Sometimes, these things come down to luck. ...Besides that, it is what it is. It's better to find a solution, I think.

[doublelammy]

You're probably right about that. I just...

Solving this kind of problem, it's not a thing I've ever had to do, y'know? I just follow the leader and smash what they tell me to smash. But here, it's not like I can smash Sarge, as much as I want to, and it's not like anyone else has any idea what to do, either.

[quickpersuader]

If you can't beat it with power, you have to beat it with smarts.

[All reloaded. Kino takes aim once more.]

This would be a good time to put those spy skills to use.

[doublelammy]

...Hard to do that when I'm not even really sure what I'm after, but you've got a point.

I'll see what I can do, I guess.

[Which so far seems to be "hassle a couple NPCs and do an investigation next week," but, you know. The fourth wall and all that.]

[quickpersuader]

You want to find any weak points you can. Anything that can be exploited.

[It's all very matter-of-fact.]

Battles don't always have to be fought head on. Tricking your opponent and laying traps for them works too.

[Chivalry is all well and good, but not something Kino finds worth dying for.

Six shots fired, all in rapid succession, as fast as they possibly can.]

[doublelammy]

Dunno how good I am at laying traps or anything, but...

I can look for weak points, at least. I'm going to go see Sarge today no matter what, so I guess I'll see what I can find.

[It's amazing watching Kino shoot, really...]

[quickpersuader]

[Kino lowers the revolver, thoughtful.]

If you find anything out, we could try to think of something together.

[doublelammy]

[Millium nods.]

I'll let you know if I do. I don't have the highest hopes, given that it's Sarge, but... y'know.
