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.

[...a man. A normal-looking man, dressed sharply, with glasses, and holding a camera.

The man blinks, digesting the scene in front of him for a moment, before quickly lifting the camera and taking a photo. Everyone's in sight -- Millium on her floating robot with half of her face covered, Kino in full military garb and gas mask, Franciscus and his prehistoric Pokemon, Kinzie and her knife holster on her leg, Keith with full armor and holding a long sword/dagger and a gun...and also everyone else, thankfully looking more normal]

I just got here and I already have a very good photo. This'll be a good night.

[He lets the camera hang off the strap around his neck and waves, kind of timidly]

Um...good evening. Do you guys have some free time right now?

[silvertongueheir]

Are you the one who's been writing those newspaper articles about us? [Gerard seems a bit more relaxed now that he sees this guy has a camera. He's familiar enough with those.]

[cartesio]

Yes. [He extends a hand] Robert Miller, journalist-slash-editor of our local newspaper. [He stares at his own hand before taking it back because...yeah, looks like this is a shy person] And you're...Franciscus Erkens, right?

[silvertongueheir]

[I mean, he'd have shaken anyways because it's the polite thing to do.] Indeed. Did you get that from the guestbook?

[doublelammy]

[Peer. Cameras... the only people she's ever known that walk around like this are—]

Are you the newspaper guy?

[cartesio]

Yes, that's right. Am I interrupting something? I see you all are...uh...

[In the middle of something, judging by what he saw when Franciscus opened the door]

[doublelammy]

Nah, not really, 'least not yet.

But!! But!! Newspaper guy! Hi!

[She unties her hat, because talking like this is hard, and waves excitedly.]

I'm the one who did the paper sharks!!

[Millium is this REALLY what's important right now,]

[robitussin]

[A slow blink.]

...I can’t believe I’m at the point where the last thing I’m expecting is something average.

[cartesio]

The same to you, you know.

[robitussin]

...Yeah, fair enough.

[...]

Can we help you with anything?

[carbide]

[Want another one? Here comes Olympia, looking all... Olympia.]

Who are you?

[cartesio]

[Nice to meet you]

[prayerwheel]

[ What about the lady in a veil and dancing gown clutching a hunting bow, huh ]

...free time for what, exactly?

[cartesio]

For a conversation. I think it's about time I talk to you all directly, yes?

[prayerwheel]

...ah, you're with the newspaper, aren't you?

[ now that the anxiety is fading and she sees the camera ]

That may be for the best, though I wonder why you didn't seek us out from the beginning.

[quickpersuader]

[KINO AIN'T SAYING A WORD but does raise a hand in greeting. Yo.]

[clearities]

Shouldn't you be asking permission before taking pictures of people...?

[cartesio]

...well, that's...a pretty good point...

[...]

I brought pizza, if that helps.

[relieable]

[now he stands up, walking over to get closer to Sakura]

We were kinda... waiting for something to happen, but... [he looks at the clock, wondering if they’re going to disappear at any time]

[clearities]

[ flatly: ] Next time, ask. I'm sure some of us would be willing to. But why did you bring us pizza...?

[icariot]

[when the birdman is the normal one of the group something's probably wrong]

[marmoron]

[......]

So you finally show up huh?

[Keith please put that dagger away. It's just still in his hand. He's not doing anything menacing with it or anything, but....]

[cartesio]

...that could have been a much warmer welcome.

[He may be a generally timid man, but he sure doesn't appreciate the perceived hostility and is unwilling to back down]

[amburere]

[ Amused sound from the corner, yeah he could show you warm alright.

...but for now he'll listen. ]

[marmoron]

[Raising an eyebrow.]

I don't do hugs.

[A beat.]

I've been looking for you.
