cartesianism | Week 6: May 6th

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.

[Kino has her revolver drawn when she exits her room, which is probably a good indication of about how deeply she ever sleeps.

Examining the note, though...]

...I don't know if we're going to be able to get this through the door.

[.... God fucking this damn this.]

We're going to have to do something about it. We should get some disguises.

The second abandoned building would be best for that, with all it's clothing, if we can get there without making too much of a fuss.

Right. We should go grab some clothes for everyone.

...and perhaps something to drape over the box if we can.

We do have those uniforms and gas masks, you know.

Wouldn't that basically tell everyone in town that the tourists are up to something again.

Oh, true. Probably.

[Osomatsu looks horrified at this box, and the note. what the fuck]

We might... have to take him out of the box...

Wasn’t one of the windows broken...?

[he nods at her, he only knows because he was just there a few days ago]

...right. Even if we returned the box, as long as he's not put back where he belongs, I'm sure they'll blame us regardless. We aren't well liked enough to get away with anything less.

He might not even be in there anyway, yanno? Or something could be wrong with it, or missing. This could be a trap.

I suppose it's not impossible that the townspeople might be riled up over something that doesn't actually exist or may not be missing at all...

But would you put it past him to give us such a nasty thing?

[a short pause, then he shakes his head]

I wouldn't put it past him to do anything, really.

[It'll fit, don't worry. It's even easy to carry. The whole group will be able to take it towards the graveyard and the mausoleum]

[Squiiiiiiiiint.]

...Well, let's try anyway. I don't really like the idea of trying to shove it through the window in one piece, either.

Right. I'll help carry it. Better than having to come back for it when we find the key.

Can't we just break the chest open.

[IT'LL BE FINE. Just giving the wooden chest another look. Surely they can just smash that thing open bypass the need for a key... if they absolutely have to get it open for some reason....]

We could, but I don't know if that would actually make it easier to transport... assuming we're not supposed to ruin the body.

We could... but we'd also risk damaging what's inside.

[Nice of you, Dazai, Kino.

Picking up clothing along the way is easy enough. The chest is even draped over! Everyone's trying their best to be stealthy.

As stealthy as you can be, since this is a group of people carrying a chest across town at midnight.

But, surprisingly, everyone arrives to the mausoleum with no problems at all. In fact, they'll find the door wide open. Once they enter into the egg tomb, they'll find a big key on top of the coffin -- the key to the chest.

The body isn't going to put itself into the coffin, you know!]

How nice...

[Let's take the key. Since that's not reckless at all. And see if we can open it up.

...good lord help them.]
