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.

[quickpersuader]

[Hey Mr guy with muscle]

Help me pull the door shut before they get here.

[cartesio]

[From beyond the door, the voices approach. If you're going to do so, you better hurry!]

[streetwolf]

Right, yeah...

[Pulling door.]

Might wanna get start getting people out the window.

[quickpersuader]

[GONNA HELP PULL THAT THING SHUT. She's got her face tucked behind the collar of her borrowed clothes as she does so.]

[cartesio]

[While the door is closing, the group that had stayed near the back moves. It seems the door trying to close was something they were watching out for.

Running, the group divides, going towards the sides of the mausoleum, they're going for the windows!]

[streetwolf]

[Hoods up, all of them!]

I think they already know we're here, so barricade?

[quickpersuader]

Windows!

[Kino looks around. Anything they can use in here for barricades?]

[cartesio]

[There's gargoyles, there's candlesticks, there's...a coffin cover, if you guys can manage to move it...

Not the most convenient items!

And even less convenient when a rock flies through one of the windows, shattering it. A foot follow suit, kicking away pieces of glass to make the hole bigger]

[streetwolf]

Fuck-!

[His hand reaches into his hoodie then stops. Right, be calm, keep the fire in and all that shit.]

Any ideas? I'd shoot a warning shot and hope that clears enough space but I don't think that'd go down too well.

[quickpersuader]

[Well if Wayne doesn't do it, she will. Drawing her semiautomatic pistol, she carefully considers the window, aiming two bullets so as to not actually hit the person trying to get inside.

Why do we let Kino do things anymore.]

[streetwolf]

What if they have guns to? We can't exactly dodge in here.

[Kino for fucks sake]

[cartesio]

[The bullets crashes through the remaining glass, the person who was behind gets spooked. There's an audible yelp, but nobody seems to have gotten hurt.

It did alert them there's dangerous people inside, though. More rocks fly through the windows, on both sides of the mausoleum, and this time, everyone's trying to break into further with tools like pitchforks and shovels.

On the door, you can hear people shouting:]

Push!

[And then something slams against the door. It repeats over and over]

[streetwolf]

A little help here! Please!

[That's the first time he's said that and it's laced with as much sarcasm as humanly possible. And he rearranges his legs to brace himself against the door.]

[marmoron]

[Right with you Wayne. Keith's going to throw his body weight against the door to help.]

Is there anything heavy we can use to reinforce this?!

[streetwolf]

The lid, it takes at least two strong people to move it though.

[marmoron]

Dazai get someone else and go grab the lid. Wayne and I'll keep the doors shut.

[pursuitofdeath]

Understood!

[Give him a hand someone--]

[cartesio]

[Is any of this of use to you?]

[pecker]

[Well let's see if Gant's idea has any worth. She's never tried making a crow do this before, but she's going to try and make a nearby one yell "Help!!"

Are they remotely fooled. Does it even work on this crow. Who knows.]

[cartesio]

[The moment the crow yells, some of the pitchforks outside stop. Some turn their heads towards the source of the sound]

'What was that?'

'You, go check!'

'The rest of us will keep going in!'

[Many of the people assaulting the windows retire, presumably to follow the crow. The intensity of the assaulting diminishes!]

[pecker]

[whispering to self]

Wow they're really that dumb...

[But okay then, she's just going to keep having it cry like that and fly short distances away. Just lead them on a wild crow chase.]

[protectandselfserve]

Well, that turned out better than expected.

[niwatori he’s less frustrated with you than everyone else in this mausoleum]

[pecker]

Thank you, Gant-san... I'll see how far away I can kite them.

[cartesio]

[ Sure enough, one of the voices you'll hear calling in the direction of the crow is...the guy leading this to begin with. Oh, Mason, you're trying. Kind of. ]

Was that him?! H-hey, wait for me!

[ Score one for the avian life. ]

[pecker]

[Look at him go. She'll try to make this more convincing by having it throw in a few "Mason"s in with the "Help"s... who knew you could also use birds to lie!! This is great!!

Meanwhile, she's still calling birds to gather in the graveyard area... so that if they do turn back, she can make it much harder for them to get to the others with a wall of angry feathers.]
