Week 5: April 29th - May 3rd



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.

[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: by request of the icon creator, pls do not take (lineface)

[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!]
pecker: (mmmm?)

[personal profile] pecker 2018-11-01 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
So was it shellfish?

[she can't see shit from here]
marmoron: (resting bitch face)

[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...]
pecker: (weak smile)

[personal profile] pecker 2018-11-01 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
That's so weird. Should we ask Dabi-san to melt the ice?
marmoron: (more resting bitchface)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-01 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
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.
pecker: (It's truuuue!)

[personal profile] pecker 2018-11-01 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Well... that much should be fine actually. It'll melt naturally once we get it away from this place.
marmoron: marmoron (judging)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-01 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[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: (tense smile)

[personal profile] pecker 2018-11-01 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Around town? Typically you would find this sort of thing at a church, but... I'm afraid I didn't investigate it personally.
