Week 6: May 6th - 10th

[cartesio]

Sixth Week

Killers and victims, killers and victims. Three of your own have fallen prey to murderous intent last week. Your numbers keep shrinking. Azura has fallen prey to Franciscus in the same night that Olympia betrayed her friend Millium and killed Cian who wound up in the crossfire. At this rate, is there anyone you can trust?

The townspeople's anger burns hotter than ever. Wherever they go, must they live in fear of stumbling on a corpse? They can't live like this. More than ever, the visitors are being shown that they are unwelcome.

Walking outdoors, cold looks are the norm. Shouted profanity isn't unexpected. Barely anybody is willing to still hold a conversation with any visitors.

Even within the motel, there is no feeling of safety any longer. Not only have two people died in this very place, no, now the townspeople also lost their fear of coming inside. While they don't enter private rooms, the daring among them vent their hatred of you by vandalizing the common rooms.

Cartesio has become a menacing place.

In the lobby of the motel there's a few more brochures, and the maps have been updated once again. Don't mind that some of them have been damaged in one of the attacks on the motel.

Investigation!

[quickpersuader]

[Kino attends the execution, for once looking fairly disturbed when Oda is brought out instead of Olympia. However, she watches it all to the very end.]

[Record Store]

[Kino will definitely be taking a look around here, because you never know what might turn up in these new locations. However, when other characters find her, she'll be looking at the video recording equipment specifically. She's got a thoughtful look about her--

Hopefully this isn't signs of any bad plans or anything.]

[Abandoned Ice Skating Rink - Investigation!]

[And then it's over to here, because someone's got to check it out. Is there anything worth noting, like why it might have been abandoned in the first place...?]

[Park]

[Kino ends her day here, after going to the casino for a free buffet thanks to a ticket. She has a metal plate hanging from the branches of one of the trees for practice again, although when she spots someone else, she'll ask:]

Could you help me with this? It's simple, I promise.

record store

[amburere]

[ Doing his weekly walkthrough of new places, and hey it's Kino. She's someone Dabi's been meaning to talk with actually, so he walks over to get a closer look at what's got her attention. ]

You a spy too?

[quickpersuader]

Not by trade.

[Her eyes linger on the device for a bit longer before she looks up at Dabi properly.]

But I won't lie, it's a little tempting to try about now.

[amburere]

Just like how you weren't an arsonist by trade? [ Punctuated with a smirk. ] 

[quickpersuader]

Something like that.

[Kino returns the wink with a smile. It didn't go as well as she'd hoped, but she still got what she wanted out of it.]

It's good to branch out sometimes.

[amburere]

Even with most people pissed at you, huh? [ His smirk drops a bit, cause he's kinda one of them. For different reasons really, which mainly boils down to—let the fire guy handle the fire ok. ]

[quickpersuader]

Ah... that sort of thing happens sometimes.

It's impossible to make everyone happy, so I usually just look out for myself.

[amburere]

Sounds like somethin' a villain might say.

[quickpersuader]

Is it?

[Educate her please, Dabi.]

[amburere]

[ He lets out a breath, amused. ]

Yeah, you ever see a villain who goes out of their way for others?

[quickpersuader]

I don't think I've ever seen a villain before - well, not the way you talk about them.

[Hmmm...]

Do villains ever collaborate with the police or military to catch other villains?

park

[robitussin]

[She's coming here to make use of the pond, but when she sees Kino, she nods.]

Yeah, sure thing. What do you need?

[quickpersuader]

Just tell me when to shoot. Give me enough time to holster it again between shots, but besides that, you can call it out whenever you like.

[Currently all persuaders are holstered, though...]

[robitussin]

[She nods.]

You getting some practice in?

[And then, after a moment...]

Shoot.

[quickpersuader]

[Lightning fast, Kino draws the revolver on her right and shoots.

It hits dead center, causing the plate to swing wildly even as she returns the revolver to its holster.]

[robitussin]

Nice one.

[But almost as soon as it's holstered again:]

Shoot.

[quickpersuader]

[Kino repeats the motion. Even though the plate is swinging, there's a clang as the bullet hits and leaves it spinning even faster than before.

Back to the holster the revolver goes.]

[robitussin]

[This time, she waits for a few moments, enough that the plate has nearly stopped spinning.]

Shoot.

[quickpersuader]

[Another shot, another bulls eye on the plate.]

That's half.

[Three more bullets left. She holsters it again.]

[robitussin]

[Another few seconds, and then:]

Shoot.

[quickpersuader]

[Kino waits in complete silence before once again snapping her arm up to shoot. The plate is going to spin its rope tight around the branch at this rate.]

Investigation

[cartesio]

[Welcome to the ice rink, Kino! Abandoned, but hey, it's an ice rink. The purpose of the building is visible right away.

It looks just as abandoned as the rest of the abandoned buildings in town: dust, damages, looks like a bad storm would topple it all. On the other side of the empty concrete rink there's a tiny office where the controls for stuff are at, there's zambonis to a side, storages with the equipment, and what looks like a snow machine on the ceiling.

It's unlikely there's something useful in all of those places, though]

[quickpersuader]

[Kino will be sure to dutifully check out all of the areas anyway, making a note of any inventory available.

Is there an obvious and easily reachable wall that can be carved into with a hunting knife, incidentally?]

[cartesio]

[There is! The walls of the office with the machines to make the ice are wooden.

Everything in the storages (ice skates, icepicks, objects related to ice skating), as well as the zambonis, are in...merely acceptable working order. Which is unusual. The other abandoned places' items and devices were in perfect working order despite the amount of time that had passed.

Other than that, it doesn't seem the items available in the storages will yield useful data]

[quickpersuader]

[Once she's done checking everything, she'll go to the office and take a knife from a pouch, using it to scratch in the following names in a heart:

Clarisse & Nine

It should hopefully look like a typical bit of teenager graffiti. With that, she'll leave for now.]
