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.

[ It's less that Serph decided to come to the meeting and more that he was already here to begin with. Maybe he really likes ice cream, who knows. As soon as he sees people to begin to file in though, he hurredly gets up to leave. Well, as much as a rush as he's capable of as his movements are sluggish and exaggerated. Anyone who makes eye contact will notice that his eyes are bright gold as opposed to the usual silver.

You can try to call out to him or follow, but either way he's not making it farther than around the corner before he sits down head in his hands. ]

The hungers getting worse...

[alfin]

[ Alfin takes note of the man leaving, but doesn't try to stop him. If he's leaving, he probably wants to be alone. But the way he's moving... ]

...

[ She's worried. ]

[streetwolf]

If you're hungry then those bastards are paying, might as well run up a big bill for them.

[He's not really paying attention. Eyes closed and smirking away.]

[dvaita]

[...ah he wasn't fast enough leaving the gathering, was he? It would probably be okay with just one other person. ]

If I was interested in the ice cream, that would be a great idea. [ Softly, because he really wishes he could eat what was in that shop. Whatever it was, even if it looked like clay to him. ]

[paciscere]

[ oh, this looks interesting, so he definitely follows serph. ]

You know, you don't have to pick just one flavor. Despite what some may say.

[ lookin' at you axel. he's treating this lightly, but his eyes are hooded and serious. ]

makes icon for you ❤

[dvaita]

[ For better or worse, Serph's not in any condition to read the subtle tells that Matoba isn't just joking. He can at least try to be playful, though his eyes are closed. ]

Is it that good? I've never had it before.

❤❤❤

[paciscere]

[ amused: ]

It's so-so. [ he considers his ice cream. ] I could let you have some of mine.

[ he's trying to decide if he minds or not. probably not? it's such a little thing. ]

[dvaita]

[ ..................... ]

Sure, maybe it'll help.

[paciscere]

[ he hands over his neapolitan soft serve and conversationally adds: ]

That's a weird sort of hunger if you're practically running out of a place with food, isn't it.

[ not a question. ]

[dvaita]

Yeah, it is.

[ Food isn't supposed to be this many colors, what the hell. He's definitely staring at it for a while before he decides to just go for it and take a bite. Were his teeth always this pointy? ]

Hah, it's cold. [ Definite amusement at that as he tries to process the flavors in his mouth. Not the worst, but one bite is enough—have your neopolitan back with a nice bitemark in the waffle cone Matoba. ]

[paciscere]

Hm, no. Don't you think you should keep it if you're still hungry?

[ he holds his palm face out, declining to take it back. those teeth were interesting, though. show him that bite again. ]

[dvaita]

It's yours and- [ He could lie, but that's just not the type of person he is. ] it wouldn't help. But it does taste pretty good.

[ Take it back maybe? Not being shy about his teeth at least, kind of hard to hide that while talking. ]

[paciscere]

[ he smiles. ]

That much is obvious. Teeth like that aren't meant for just sweets. [ he takes the ice cream back and deliberately takes a slow bite of the waffle cone, then pulls back to compare the bites side by side. fascinating. ] Are you possessed by something, Serph-san?

[ youkai possession tends to blur physical characteristics, after all. ]

[dvaita]

Possessed? [ ... ] I guess you could call it that. You're right about the other thing too.

[ About what these teeth are meant for. ]

[odoruhinokaze]

You don't know how to cook?

[ It's Axel and he can be a bit of a busybody, so he catches the other guy's words and follows him for a bit just because. ]

Jokes aside. It looks like somebody needs to haul ass to the diner -- you do know where that is, right?

[dvaita]

[ Hey Axel. Serph looks up with those brightly colored eyes of his before resting his head on his knees. ]

I do, but I'll pass. Staying here is fine.
