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.

Even if that might be true... that doesn't change what happened.

[silvertongueheir]

[A slight sigh.] Perhaps we should just refuse to speak to him if he shows up again, until we have concrete proof of the Sergeant's involvement.

[clearities]

I don't know if refusal to speak would help our case, though.

[silvertongueheir]

There's only so much material the press can get from a refusal to speak. Otherwise we just give him more ammunition to twist our words.

[clearities]

You think so...? I think he might say something mean because we don't speak.

[silvertongueheir]

...I suppose it's possible he might move to speculation about what sort of secrets we might be hiding. And tensions are high enough he may actually be believed. [And...they probably just burned bridges with their one advocate here.] I mostly speak from experience with paparazzi.

[clearities]

I don't have any secrets that I'm hiding.

[ Her words are firm.

Of course, she's also unaware that there's something about herself that even she doesn't know, but that's all. ]

[silvertongueheir]

[He nods.] Perhaps next time we should not all speak to him at once, either.

[clearities]

Maybe.

[silvertongueheir]

[Another nod, before he reaches out to touch her shoulder lightly and somewhat awkwardly, still.] You've always tried to help. People should listen to your suggestions more, I feel.

[clearities]

Thank you. [ She doesn't know that it's going to be impossible, but-- ] When I get my wand, I'll show you my magic, okay?

[silvertongueheir]

[He smiles at her.] I look forward to seeing it.
