Week 5: April 29th - May 3rd

[cartesio]

Fifth Week

Everything's getting worse. Rose Nylund and Frasier Crane murdered Jughead Jones during the event Jughead worked so hard to organize. Given some of the townspeople were in attendance, it didn't give a good impression -- if the visitors did this when trying to be good people and get along with Cartesio, then how will they behave once they get into destroying everything? The cruel method of Jughead's death also left everyone quite horrified, too.

That may be why it's no surprise the town's quiet unrest is slowly turning into real, tangible fury.

During the week, from time to time stones break some of the windows of the motel, looking outside shows a random passerby running away. Graffiti is left on the walls: 'SEE IF YOU LIKE THIS' 'MURDERERS' 'YOU'RE GOING TO DESTROY US ALL', and other similar messages. Some of the store owners hesitate when the visitors approach, but they don't refuse service because money is always nice.

The Sergeant's pervasive influence is starting to cover not only you, but also the entire town of Cartesio. After all, everything that's happening to you and the motel? It's the result of what you and the other visitors have done.

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

[Technically, you can see through them.

But it's so dark outside, almost unnaturally dark. You can't see anything but darkness]

[pecker]

[Well that doesn't seem very useful so she'll just go the opposite direction along the wall than that Oda went. Are there any more doors or is his the only one]

[cartesio]

[ There's another door! Still can't see anything...but you'll be able to feel that it's very cold. ]

[pecker]

[found the ice-9

Well this is obviously the worst door for the bikini chick to go into but what the heck. She'll at least try to open it.]

[cartesio]

[ Open away! It only gets colder. Still not an easy way to see, but from the temperature and the general frost...it seems you've found a walk-in freezer. ]

[pecker]

[....All right. Any other doors? She doesn't want this one, but she'll take it if it's the last one left.]

[cartesio]

[ Sorry, Niwa, seems like the others are all occupied... ]

[pecker]

[FINE. She wants out of this room, so she will very cautiously enter, minding the door as she will totally stick her fork in its way if some jerk ass tries to close it on her. If someone murdered in this fog, it would be pretty hard to tell who did it...

So first, how big does this freezer seem like it is?]

[marmoron]

[Sup Niwa. Keith's here to keep you company in the freezer??]

Anything interesting in there?

[cartesio]

[There indeed seems to be something interesting over there!]

[cartesio]

[It seems to be a large freezer, of the walk-in type. A lot of frozen meat and meat hooks line the walls. There's also some sort of...open water tank?...on the back wall]

[pecker]

[Niwa raises the fork on a reflex but immediately puts it back down. Thanks for not murdering her Keith!!]

Ah, um. It's just a bunch of meat... could we be in some sort of restaurant?

[because if the rest of this is meat, she's expecting this tank to have... crabs and lobsters or something.]

Do you think you could see what's in the tank? I'd rather not go that far in if I can help it.

[marmoron]

[A bunch of meat. So they're in the world's best secure restaurant / butchershop / slaughterhouse. Fantastic.]

You got it.

[The paladin' armors at least fairly insulating, designed for space exploration and what not as it is.]

Hang on.

[TIME TO CHECK OUT THAT OPEN WATER TANK!]

[cartesio]

[The tank is open, and inside Keith will find a large block of ice. It's as big as his torso, and likely just as heavy.

What's unusual, though, is that there's something stuck inside the block of ice. Seems to be...a piece of stained glass? It's a triangle of stained glass]

[pecker]

So was it shellfish?

[she can't see shit from here]

[marmoron]

[Of all the things to find in an open water tank in the back of a walk in freezer....]

It's a huge block of ice. Looks like there's a piece of glass frozen inside it.

[Time to put the knife down so he has both hands free to lift this thing out of the tank. Good thing he's pretty strong? Anyway, heave ho. Ice on the ground.]

I'll try and hack it out of the ice.

[This time when Keith picks up the dagger again, it'll activate and turn into a sword. He's absolutely going to swing at that ice unless Niwa has other things to say about this...]

[cartesio]

[You have obtained a piece of stained glass!

...

But it's inside a block of ice. That's going to be a problem. Best of luck, Niwa, Keith]

[pecker]

That's so weird. Should we ask Dabi-san to melt the ice?

[marmoron]

If you want to go grab him.

[Keith has no real interest in asking Dabi for any kind of assistance, thanks.]

I'll cut the ice down to a manageable size in the mean time.

[cartesio]

[Good luck, Keith. It's a big chunk of ice, so it takes some effort!

But hey, at least you get to make it a manageable size. A lot of ice still clings onto the glass, but at least now you can carry it around with you]

[pecker]

Well... that much should be fine actually. It'll melt naturally once we get it away from this place.

[marmoron]

[Sorry, Niwa.... Keith's a bit of a disaster.

He'll pick up the smaller piece of ice + glass, then nod.]

Right. Let's get out of the freezer so we can get a better look at this. Have you seen stained glass around town anywhere before?

[pecker]

Around town? Typically you would find this sort of thing at a church, but... I'm afraid I didn't investigate it personally.
