WEEK 0 — MARCH 29, 30

[cartesio]

Week 0

You have been threatened by the Sergeant: if nobody dies before March 31st at noon, you, along with everyone else, will forfeit your lives. The Sergeant pushed everyone away from the Lodge, judging that had been enough interaction with his guests. So what now?

Will you submit to the Sergeant’s demands? Will you resist him and wait to see what happens? He wouldn’t be capable of killing you and everyone else, right?

Only time will tell.

The next day you'll find a newspaper at the motel lounge, telling you about today’s weather forecast with 100% accuracy. Looks like you can expect to find a newspaper every day to find out the weather and any other news about the town. It even includes something branded 'THE SHARK ALERT'. Who could that be directed to?

There's also a copy of yesterday's newspaper. There's nothing about the Sergeant or about your predicament, but there is something about your arrival to the town.

Cartesio is your world for the next four days, better make the most out of your time here.

OOC Note: The current IC:OOC ratio for the days is as follows: The 29th top-level covers Monday and Tuesday, while the 30th top-level is for Wednesday and Thursday.

sharknado

[doublelammy]

Well, if there are gonna be sharks, I at least wanna get Lammy back first. So he can punch 'em!

[Taking danger seriously since never.]

[odoruhinokaze]

Lammy, huh? Is that some other kid who's a friend of yours back home?

[ ... Honestly, Axel has got to admire this kid's spunk. Not many children would go headfirst into danger. ]

[doublelammy]

He's not a kid. He's a super awesome combat shell!

[And this is the point at which Millium's player really wishes her canon would just call anything a goddang ROBOT.]

[odoruhinokaze]

[ A shell?

...An empty person? He doesn't know what to make of that. Maybe he's assuming wrong here, but consider his curiosity honestly bought. ]

Hold on a moment. An empty shell?

What's the guy like? You know, personality-wise and all that.

[doublelammy]

He's big and white and blue and mechanical and he punches things really really hard! [Because that last part is clearly the important part...?]

He's great! ...But no one can understand him but me. Since we were linked together, and all.

[odoruhinokaze]

Mechanical, eh? Sounds like a special kind of robot to me, then.

[ Interesting in a different set of way to him -- he was legitimately thinking of something less than ideal. That's what he gets for his imagination running around... ]

So, how does this linked thing work? Any wires involved?

[doublelammy]

"Robot," huh? I don't really know that word, but if it's what works for you!

Nope, no wires! S'more like a psychic thing, except I'm not actually a psychic. But wouldn't that be awesome?!

[odoruhinokaze]

You've never heard of a robot?

[ ... Huh. ]

I think it'd be kind of cool. If I were psychic, I'd know the best time and place to lay the best pranks on some people I know back home.

[ He's half-serious because he's been too busy to do any of that before he's come here, but if he had window and it wouldn't mean his would get in trouble... ]

[doublelammy]

We usually call things like Lammy "archaisms." "Robot" sure is a lot easier though. I'll get it memorized! [She grins.]

Ooh, yeah! I mean, it's not like it's hard to prank some of 'em anyway, but knowing when to do it perfect would be soooo much better!

[odoruhinokaze]

[ Now, hearing his tag line there makes him sort of grin and he snaps his fingers before giving the kid a thumbs up. ]

I'm sure you will.

Well, let me just say that most of the people back at my home can be a pain to catch off guard or usually it's not worth it. Remember that blue haired guy I mentioned earlier? He's firmly set in both categories.

[doublelammy]

Aw, really? That sucks. I wish you could meet my friends! I swear, they never learn.

[odoruhinokaze]

Yeah, but oh well.

[ ... ]

Never learn, huh? They're that much of an easy target all the time?

[doublelammy]

Yup. But it's still fun. Some of 'em - you know how some people get real worked up over absolutely everything? So even if they do make it a little too easy sometimes, the reactions are totally worth it.
