cartesianism | Week 4: April 22nd

Fourth Week

A second murder shook the town of Cartesio. Clarisse's ambush plan ended with Katsuki Bakugou's death. Now what?

Nothing to be done other than continuing their life and watch what happens. After two weeks, after the deaths they have seen, it's hard to think there's a way out. The only option is to wait for the right chance to turn the tables and see a weak point in the Sergeant's plans -- and hopefully not see any murders.

The townspeople's attitude towards the tourists soured even more. The destruction of the church was much worse than anything they had seen so far, and they ran out of patience. People who in the past were nice and wanted nothing more than to make the tourists happy now aren't afraid of saying to their faces what's what. Random pedestrians shout at the visitors, telling them to stop being criminals. Although there are a few who have more patience than the rest, general opinion is clear:

The tourists are nuisances, to say the least.

In the lobby of the motel there's a few more brochures, and the maps have been updated once again.

[Well damn, how can she ignore it when it says to come even if she doesn't want to!!

And this is all something she definitely is not sure that she wants to. She's a chicken after all. Even if one of her skills is "acting."]

Do you have anyone on security, for this event? I mean... if really it's the opposite of what Sarge wants, he might ask someone to, to sabotage.

You want to keep an eye or several out for him?

[He holds out the signup sheet and a pen.]

[Ah, pressure.]

...Yes. That is what I meant. [taking this pen and chicken scratching a security detail in, I guess!!]

Though I won't be much of a bouncer without Cockscomb, you know.

[the contract is sealed.]

Without...what?

Oh - that's my weapon! The one my profile mentions, eheh.

The fork?

Yup. And I haven't seen anything like it in the whole town, either... well, it's more for defense anyway, if I'm being totally honest.

[It's long as well as heavy and pointy at the end, that thing is for shooing people out of her bubble.]

So... if there's someone else who can do this with me... that might be a good thing to look into.

I'll join. [ he'll join. ]

Putting yourself down for two things. Bold.

[You're not getting out of performing, Oda.]

Two things?

[ HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ]

Performance and security. [He clicks his pen.] Don't wear yourself out.

[OH NEVER MIND... THERE SOMEONE IS.]

I-I look forward to working with you!

Mm, me too.

[ he nods, giving her a very small smile. ]

[Niwa smiles back politely, in spite of Jughead's pen clicking.]

I suppose we'll have to come up with some kind of signal in case I need you to leave the stage.

[ he sighs ]

I'll do my best not to set you back too much.

Gerard might be able to help as well, although I did plan to have him help for my part of the program.

Ooh, really? What can he offer, security-wise?

[She's very intrigued! After all, using him would remove the middle man when it came to surveilling and dispatching saboteurs.]

He knows how to dive down on and pin someone with minimal injury, or simply provide a barrier between a shooter and the audience. He can also summon small rocks that should be able to do some damage, or distract people. Normally they're larger, but it seems his abilities have been limited as well. [There's a pause.] He can also hit people to break bones or deal more harm, but I hope that won't end up necessary.

[making a mental note of all of these....and how Franciscus is really preparing for the WORST case security scenarios, which is interesting. He apparently trusts everyone about as much as she does, which she kinda appreciates.]

Gosh... A barrier for a shooter? You mean he's impervious to bullets? I really hope it doesn't come to all of that either, but...

He can cover for Oda when he’s up. Keep a rotating schedule going.

That sounds good. Hopefully none of this will end up necessary.

It’s on a Thursday.

[Just letting that hang there.]

I've done it before.

[Bodyguard.

I'm just a bit worried they're going to think this is some kina take over...

Edited 2018-10-23 06:23 (UTC)

I get the impression that they sorta already do.

But you've got a point. We should try to blend in, even if we're standing guard.

Yeah. That's why I'm worried about the statue. Leave it and they'll call us assholes for smashing it. Make a new one and we're just as bad cause we're just replacing their special thing.

...I can do that. Might not look it half the time, but people are good at ignoring rats.
