Week 6: May 6th - 10th


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.

[ Sakura is going to make herself productive before... well, whatever ends up happening later tonight. Hence why she might be found hard at work in the motel, crafting more cranes to put around the shrine that she's crafted for everyone that seems to have passed.

During other parts of the day, she can be found at the community kitchen. People might find her making one of two things: pancakes-- which she'll share with anyone if they ask, and a no-bake cheesecake that she managed to learn from Chiharu-chan back at home.

When she's not hard at work cooking things up, however, she's in the library. This time, she's looking for books on either magic or technology to see if she'll actually find anything that might possibly help them. ]

community kitchen

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-07 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[hey! he's here! finally ready to learn how to cook something. he's let the pokémon loose, too, so they are mingling around the kitchen]

So you really don't have to bake this? [he's looking at the no-bake cheesecake recipe. how interesting!]

[personal profile] clearities 2018-11-07 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't. You just need a microwave and a refrigerator.
relieable: wanna see (i can stick my whole fist in my mouth)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-07 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
That's amazing! [he'll help with however he can] That seems safer than usin' a big ol' oven, anyway.

[personal profile] clearities 2018-11-07 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. And it makes it really easy. Anyway... we need to get some biscuit cookies to start off with.
relieable: (you're saying it's not butter)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-07 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[he nods, looking over the ingredients she brought. HMM. the biscuits! he grabs them and opens the packet]

These are for the crust, huh?

[personal profile] clearities 2018-11-07 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. We need to crush it with the rolling pin. You want to try, Osomatsu-san?
relieable: or the bi-curious street preacher (is he the circus guy)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-07 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[well, he's pretty good at crushing things, apparently. coughs.

ANYWAY]


Yeah, sure! [he pulls out the biscuits and lays them on the counter. then he grabs a rolling pin. he considers the best way to do this. if he's too rough, the biscuits will go everywhere! so he just starts rolling the tool over them, gradually crushing them, then stopping to scoop them back into a pile, and crushes more.

strangely therapeutic...]

[personal profile] clearities 2018-11-07 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
That's great! Now we need to microwave the butter and then add it to the biscuit mixture.
relieable: (all dressed in satin)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-07 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Okay!

[so that's where the microwave comes in. Osomatsu gathers his pile of crumbs up, then goes to open the butter and puts it in the safe bowl. no metal bowls! that goes into the microwave]

[personal profile] clearities 2018-11-07 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Since this is microwaving, we should grab the cream cheese in a bowl and knead it until it's smooth.
relieable: (naked is my favorite color)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-07 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh, hm! he opens the cream cheese, and dumps it into a bowl, but then pushes it towards her]

Can you show me?

[personal profile] clearities 2018-11-08 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
I can.

[ She does in fact, knead with her bare hands in the bowl, nice and neatly. ]

It's like this.
relieable: and cuddle with it (i want to take my head off)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-08 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Haaa! [he wasn't expecting her to use her bare hands! that's actually a pretty good idea. he watches for a while, but then takes out the butter from the microwave, since it's melted.

the biscuits go in there, right? so he puts the crumbs into the bowl with the butter and then starts folding them together with a spatula. he's seen his mother do this, and he's trying not to make a mess of everything, so he's being gentle... maybe too gentle]

[personal profile] clearities 2018-11-08 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, so... we need to spread the mixture once everything's added into the cake mold and then put plastic wrap on the bottom of a cup to stamp down the mixture so it becomes hard.

Then we have to microwave the powdered gelatin in water.
relieable: (but i am dumping you)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-08 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
[hm... he tilts his head a bit, confused. he'll watch her do that, but he can at least put plastic wrap on the bottom of the cup]

What should we do first?

[personal profile] clearities 2018-11-08 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
I can microwave the powdered gelatin... just move the mixture into the mold while I do that first.
relieable: (i can juggle bunnies)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-08 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[he nods. he's quite curious about gelatin. he's never seen how it works before.

for now, the butter and crumbs mixture is going into the cake cold first]

[personal profile] clearities 2018-11-08 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well, Sakura's just dissolving it in water and then popping that in. ]

Now we have to just stamp down the mixture in the mold and then wait for the gelatin to finish.

unfashionably: :D (you pour it out)

library!!

[personal profile] unfashionably 2018-11-07 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's poking around himself! Mostly for something to hold his attention (no, no he isn't going to eat the paper from the books), so he's in the fiction section, but when he sees Sakura he pops his head through an opening in the shelf to say hi. ]

Hey.

[personal profile] clearities 2018-11-07 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah—

[ She pauses a little bit in surprise, although she does keep her voice lowered, given that she's in the library. ]

Hello.
unfashionably: (made i never will color any of these)

[personal profile] unfashionably 2018-11-07 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Now that he's here he kind of just leans his arms on the shelf and settles in. This shelf is now his home, for this conversation anyway. ]

Sakura, right? Are you looking for something to read?
clearities: (pic#12014210)

[personal profile] clearities 2018-11-07 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmhm. I was seeing if I could find something about magic... or some sort of technology.
Edited 2018-11-07 23:21 (UTC)
unfashionably: (a cross-armed sting)

[personal profile] unfashionably 2018-11-08 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Magic? [ Perking up happily. Then, he pauses. ] Wait, you mean this world's magic?

It doesn't look like they have any, but you could try asking someone from the town if you haven't already.

[personal profile] clearities 2018-11-08 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... or just in general, really. Since I don't really know much about magic outside of my own.
