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.

We were kinda... waiting for something to happen, but... [he looks at the clock, wondering if they’re going to disappear at any time]
no subject
Mind if I ask what you were waiting for with...this rather unusual stuff around?
[And looking like you're all about to do a bank heist or something?]
no subject
It’s.. kind of hard to explain? For the past couple weeks, we’ve been, uh. Yanked away from whatever we were doin’ and put somewhere else. [if the newspaper guy wants answers, should they give them to him?]
no subject
[Kino will be blunt for you.]

no subject
...um...really?
[He doesn't sound too convinced, because obviously he wouldn't be]
no subject
[Is this following the mission or not? Eh.]
We're trying to make the best of things, but it's been difficult when all we can do is listen to what the Sergeant tells us to do.
[A gesture to the outfit, which has yet to be removed.]
To be honest, I was expecting him to make us do something even more dangerous this time. It makes me worry if he'll ever let me leave in one piece.
[Because they sure have taken casualties.]
no subject
[Said with a tone that makes it pretty clear that no, he doesn't see]
...sorry, I'm having a hard time believing that. Mostly because of your friend over there.
[He points at Keith with a pen for a moment]
no subject
[And finally taking off the mask with a samll headshake to loosen up the hair again. Kino will just keep it lazily tucked under an arm.]
We're the ones who have been killed as of late. Most of us just want to leave so we aren't in danger of that anymore.
no subject
[He takes out a notepad, ready to write]
Why did this Keith individual try to distract two police officers on the line of duty to cover up three potential crime scenes in this very motel?
[...yay?]
no subject
None of us are sure what caused the blood. Actually, when I first saw it, I thought someone was trying to threaten us. None of us were injured, but we still found blood and scratch marks on the walls...
Except... The people of this town are kind, and they don't like property damage. I can't imagine any of you trying to intimidate us, even if we're disliked.
[And, looking over to Millium.]
I remember when they first appeared, I heard Millium screaming. By the time I got to the lobby, she was hiding in her blankets terrified. So the short answer is... All of us are just as confused about this as you are. If it's Keith, he probably thought it was better to try to alert you to what was going on than bring up that someone trashed his room.
no subject
[He crosses his arms]
By the way, that was a terrible decision. I almost had a heart attack when I entered, tried to find someone here to do an interview, and found that door ajar, with blood visible from where I was standing. That's not how you alert someone.
[Guess now you know who tattled to the police]
no subject
[Witness testimony!!]
I'm a pretty light sleeper. The blood wasn't on my wall when I went to bed, I didn't hear anything weird over the course of the night, and it was there when I woke up.
That's why I said I think my room is haunted...
no subject
[Fushigi mystery.]
--Wait. You came here earlier without making sure we knew to stay for interviews...?
[That's kinda rude sir.]
no subject
Besides, I'm following up on it now. Do you mean to call me unprofessional?
no subject
[Anyway.]
Did you have more questions?
no subject
no subject
That was more or less all of us. Like the others said, it was because of instructions we received from the Sergeant. None of us had been in the cinema before, so without his instructions, there wasn't any way for us to know what the sign even looked like before then.
no subject
The Sergeant again... He's told you to do these things, and you just comply?
no subject
None of us are sure how we got there to begin with. We just woke up inside with popcorn on our laps already...
The only thing I can think of that would allow that [besides magic] is drugging us. Either way, we weren't in much of a position to refuse. If he can get all of us to the cinema without realizing it, he could do just about anything to us while we were unaware.
We couldn't even find the cinema again for a while after he took us there. We would have had to have been pretty addled, if not unconscious.
no subject
All this in consideration, you've still not felt it right to return what you've taken?
no subject
Returning a sign is much easier than rebuilding all of that.
