Week 4: April 22nd - April 26th

[cartesio]

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.

Iceland’s in Europe.

[...]

It’s a country from where I’m from. Never been.

[quickpersuader]

Then he's from an island near that country. Do you know where that might be?

[Kino has no idea where to even start with this new geography.]

[burgerprince]

Didn’t do that great in Geography, sorry.

[quickpersuader]

[Kino can't judge, their own world doesn't exactly have world maps either, apparently.]

Guess we'll just have to keep trying to get what we can out of him.

[burgerprince]

Maybe I'll try paying him a visit.

[quickpersuader]

He's different when it's one on one. He seemed like he would have liked to talk philosophy, a little... But he'll also more or less answer what you ask unless we're forbidden from knowing.

[burgerprince]

Philosophy? In what way?

[quickpersuader]

He seems to have some ideas about what people are willing to live through. He didn't like it when I told him people can happily live through hell if they don't realize it for what it is.

He said that goes against everything he believes.

[burgerprince]

So he believes that there's a breaking point where people won't want to live? Is that what he's trying to find?

[quickpersuader]

I'm not sure. It seemed like he was more baffled that people could live in terrible circumstances and still be content with it.

He also complained that my example didn't count because they were refusing to acknowledge the truth, but if you ask me, that's still an example. Sometimes people don't want to be told there's anything better than what they already have.

[burgerprince]

He can't appreciate the nuance of the situation.

[He would scoff as is appropriate of using the word 'nuance' whilst being judgmental, but he's not in the mood for it right now.]

When you know there's something better, you realize what you're missing. I get it.

[quickpersuader]

Mm. In that particular country, everyone lived under a dome that was painted with the color of the sky. It was extremely unclean, and I'm told that they don't realize how short their lifespans are compared to other countries because of their lack of hygiene. But they think their country is the best, so not very many of them ever go outside to see what's beyond the dome.

...

Incidentally, I think that country holds the record for the shortest time I've ever stayed.
