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.

[clearities]

I went to talk with the Sergeant-san after the trial. [ People might have noticed that, though, but. ] He knows about the ghosts already.

[marmoron]

[....]

What did he say about them?

[clearities]

He said it was unplanned... [ Her words trail off as if she has something else to say, but she's hesitant about it. ]

[marmoron]

[Keith's looking a bit hesitant himself actually.]

Did he say anything else about it?

[clearities]

He told me that at the end of everything that he was... planning on reviving Millium-chan and forcing her to stay in this town. Like what he did to the others in my group.

[marmoron]

He said what? Why?!

[THERE IS... POSSIBLY A LOT TO UNPACK IN THAT ONE SENTENCE.....]

[clearities]

He said something about it being... her "penalty", for dying.

[marmoron]

...Because she had one of those medals?

[clearities]

I don't think so...? He said that because she's dead it breaks the agreement with the medal, even though it's still under her name.

[marmoron]

[Sergeant doesn't keep his word, citation #12932. Right.]

So if that's not it... she may be one of those people the Sergeant's got more of an interest in than the others.

[A beat.]

Did he say how he was going to revive her?

[clearities]

No... he didn't.

[robitussin]

...Wait, he told you that?

[clearities]

[ She nods. ] In his own words... he said, "She's going to stay in this town forever with Rean and Alfin. I had promised her she could take them with her if she left at the end of May, but looks like she'll have to stay too."

[robitussin]

...That was the promise he mentioned making to her, then. Did he say he was going to do that to anyone else who died, or just her?

[clearities]

I didn't ask, so I don't know... if it just applies to just her or not.

[robitussin]

...I think it's just her. When I asked him after we met Rean whether he was planning on altering all of our memories like he altered his when all of this was over, he told me that he wasn't.

[robitussin]

...Yeah, but he couldn't see what they said to us himself. The only things he knew about them were things we mentioned ourselves.

[clearities]

I wonder why... But, um. The two of you are okay, right?

[robitussin]

[She glances towards Keith, nodding.]

Yep. Not a scratch on us.

[clearities]

I'm glad. [ Relieved, even. ] Do you think that the wind you guys felt... was some kind of magic? [ Sakura is familiar with that sort of magic, actually, so. ]

[robitussin]

...I don't think so, but I'm not familiar enough with magic to be able to tell.

[clearities]

If you decide to go next time... take me with you. If it is magic, I might be able to do something about it. [ "Might" being the key word here, but she does genuinely want to help. ]

[robitussin]

...Nobody should go a second time unless we have more leverage. He'll be expecting it now. It'll be harder, and more dangerous.

[clearities]

Mm... we probably need a really good plan, too.

[robitussin]

We need more than a really good plan. We had a really good plan this time, and it didn't make a difference.
