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.

[ Fire having died down, Alfin is now examining places she couldn't before. This normally isn't something a princess would do, and she doesn't exactly have training in the matter... But that isn't going to stop her from trying her best! She bends down in front of the cracked asphalt, peering at (and inside) it curiously. ]

[It's dark beneath the asphalt. If it wasn't because of the sun high in the sky, you wouldn't have seen anything.

But it's there: wiring. There's wiring underneath the streets.

Nothing unusual, really. After all, where else would underground wiring be? And now it's all melted and ruined, a shapeless puddle that doesn't even spark anymore.

Did the underground wiring cause the fires? Was it a mere unfortunate coincidence? How can a person tamper with underground wiring? Why would any of this happen in the first place?

Who knows. What's for sure is that there are no clues as to how that was possible.

All you know for sure is that there was a fire, and that it may have been worsened intentionally]
