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.

We could have made a bad impression without committing arson!

[quickpersuader]

No, not that one.

We were supposed to make a bad impression on the reporter - and we did, even though we tried not to. So according to the Sergeant, it still counted.

This one was a little more specific than that.

[robitussin]

By that logic, we could have just burned part of it. One of the tables or a part of the wall.

[quickpersuader]

"Burn down this place" doesn't leave too much room for interpretation.

[robitussin]

Yeah, except you didn’t even do that. It’s still standing. If you really believed we had to do exactly what was there, then you fucked it up anyways.

[quickpersuader]

I already realize I messed up more than I meant to.

[robitussin]

Then the least you could do is apologize and act like you actually care about the fact that you fucked all of us over because you thought you knew better than all of us.

[She sighs.]

[quickpersuader]

If I apologized, would any of you actually accept it?

[robitussin]

If you actually meant it. If anything you did actually mattered to you and you weren’t just saying it to get everyone off your back, it’d be a start.

[quickpersuader]

[She'll spend a moment thinking on that. When she does speak, it's a slow, even tone.]

Then... I'll apologize for the damage to our reputation, and Lucille, and how closely I endangered everyone else. Those weren't intentional, but that's what happened to everyone because of the choice that I made, so those are my responsibility.

Anything else... I'd probably be lying if I apologized for.

[robitussin]

[At that, she drags her hands down her face quickly before continuing.

Right, you say you're sorry, but you just with the same tone you always use, like it doesn't matter to you at all. Which, I guess it doesn't, because we don't. You're the only one you care about.

[quickpersuader]

This is my honest apology. I can't give you any tears or anything like that. ...Mm, I'm not even sure if something like that's possible for me anymore.

[The last time she cried, after all, was...]

But you're right. I'm the sort of terrible person who chooses to look out for themselves first. I can't apologize honestly about that, either.

[carbide]

In effect, we did do that.

[Only the most extremely helpful input from your friendly neighborhood robot!]

[robitussin]

Did I ask you?
