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.

PUZZLE

[cartesio]

[You're going to find something right away, Kino. And what a thing it is.

Seems to be a modified microwave. Instead of a door, there's a ceramic plate on it, with some sort of diamond-shape indentation on it. Touching it will reveal it responds to pressure. Looks like you're expected to insert something in it]

[quickpersuader]

[More cool.]

Do we... have something diamond shaped? [Or wait.] A square shape.

[icariot]

I’m assuming this is where the bacon goes.

[relieable]

[coming back in here with his treasures! he... he has an idea. it's stupid, but...

does the piece of glass fit into that indentation? it's not square, but maybe other people have more pieces!]

[cartesio]

[With some effort...!

That's a start]

[relieable]

[OKAY... he's going to shout from the kitchen]

OI! IF YOU GUYS FIND ANYMORE OF THE PRETTY GLASS PIECES, BRING THEM HERE!

[it's stained glass, Osomatsu]

[carbide]

[Olympia has nothing of the sort, but the yelling gets her attention, so she'd like to... well, stare in confusion.]

A stained glass microwave door.

[relieable]

I guess! I've never seen a microwave like this before.

[carbide]

Neither have I.

[Of course it's not like she's seen many microwaves at all.]

This is a strange way to design it.

[quickpersuader]

[She's got tongs in one hand, oil and piece in the other.]

Here.

[...The piece, of course, not the oil.]

[relieable]

[yoinks that! in it goes]

Awesome! Thanks a lot!

[icariot]

Here’s the last piece, from inside the fire alarm. [he’ll lazily wave it around, even, to emphasize.]

[relieable]

[in goes the final piece!]

Thanks for finding it!

[marmoron]

[And we're here now, peering over over shoulders to see what's up, ig...]

Here.

[Keith will hand over that stained glass shard from the freezer.]

[relieable]

[fantastic! Osomatsu actually looks gleeful as he tries to fit in the second piece]

Thanks!

[cartesio]

[Things are starting to go well over here!]

[relieable]

[he's been given Kino's piece as well! he goes to place that inside. he's so excited!]

[cartesio]

[Almost done, buddy]

[relieable]

[and here comes Hawks' piece, in it goes]

[cartesio]

[That sure looks pretty! If only there was a Zelda fanfare...

The microwave makes a clicking sound -- the 'POWER' and 'TIME' dials can be moved! And also the plate can be removed, and inside the microwave...

...there's nothing. It's empty. Still, that must have been important in some manner]

[quickpersuader]

We did all that just so we could use it?

[Fancy.]

[marmoron]

[/facepalming in the back.]

Now what.

[icariot]

Metal in microwaves cause sparks, and the recipe says put bacon in, so we could just shove all the food in the bowl and then crank the microwave to full power.

[carbide]

Did anything else happen?

[No.]

[relieable]

[HE'S SO HAPPY he did something useful you all don't understand he's useless.

he'll stay back though, and let others solve the rest of this puzzle. since he has no idea what to do now]
