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.

["Understood!"

Looks like having someone who seems like he knows what he's doing is helping a lot. During Waver's directions, a firetruck finally arrives, stopping some distance away. A couple residents immediately run to it, to try to get the firehose and prepare to blast the fire.

All is fine...at least until some of the pots are emptied onto the fire.

As soon as the water touches the fire, the flames grow in intensity, threatening to scorch the residents. The heat’s quickly becoming too much to bear. It looks like water would only make things worse!

Yet those near the firetruck didn't notice that, they're still unraveling the firehose. This can get ugly if it isn't stopped]

[clearities]

I'm back!! [And that sure is something, alright. But the fact that the flames are growing is concerning. She's dressed in the uniform that she found, which might be a little baggy for her while carrying two of those extinguishers in her hands.] Sensei, take one of these! [She'll hand one over to him so she'll have enough free hands to attempt using the other extinguisher herself, aimed at the fire. This should work. Right?]

[cartesio]

[The fire crackles, but it seems the extinguisher works, spewing the foam at the fire and actually reducing it a little! It's not going to eliminate everything because it's a single extinguisher against a lot of fire, but at least it seems you are on the right track.]

[ well, he's not going to go put out the fire. but, here, sakura, have a simple fire ward talisman. he holds it out to her, and will offer the same to anyone else going out there. it might help, it might not. at the very most, it'll make the heat somewhat bearable. ]

Keep this fire ward on you, and try not to be too eager to run in.

[ good luck, good luck. ]
