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.

[ axel's certainly on top of something. ]

But it'd be a shame to limit myself when I can be greedy. Why would it benefit me to pick only one when I can have everything?

[odoruhinokaze]

[ Oh yeah, definitely. ]

Because right now we're narrowing down a bit. A typical guy can only stomach so much food at one time.

[ Dramatic pause. ]

Unless there's something unique about you that you want to share with the class.

[paciscere]

You see, I have something called a fast metabolism. I guess you could call it a matobalism, haha.

[ which would be funny (or not) if axel even knew his name. ]

Do you need me to explain it?

[odoruhinokaze]

Wow, you're a real smart-ass, huh?

[ MATOBA.....god.

Axel would have fucking gone wild if he knew Matoba's name and connected the dots with the puns. Honestly.

For now though he just easily catches the sass, smirking still. ]

Sounds like less of a fast metabolism and more like your stomach's a black hole here.

[paciscere]

What's the saying again? More for me and less for you? [ not exactly.

but where's the downside? ]

[odoruhinokaze]

Yeah?

[ Axel just shakes his head in a bit of an exaggerated manner. ]

Remind me to never invite you over for dinner. Or if I do, to make sure there's enough portions as if I had invited all the people I know from back home.

[paciscere]

So which is it? I thought your point was making up one's mind.

[odoruhinokaze]

And if you were paying attention, you'd remember it doesn't apply to anything except picking a favorite.

Now side-stepping your tendency to try to always look the smartguy...if you had to pick one dessert or food over everything else, and couldn't have it all, what would it be?

[paciscere]

But, you see, that's the flaw. Even kidnapped to a different city, country - maybe world - entirely, I have all the choices. In what situation would I need to pick?

[odoruhinokaze]

When you're in a situation where you would be forced to pick. Just imagine it or something.

It'd be like having to make the choice between rescuing the life of someone you care about or not, except it's much less dire than that.

[paciscere]

[ that's such a bad example for someone like matoba, so his smile widens as he tries to imagine it. then comes his amused answer: ]

I'd certainly try my best to save them.

[ but if they die, oh well. ]

How's this? I'll go with the flavor of the day, whatever that is.
