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.

[cartesio]

[Outside the graveyard, several fire trucks align, surrounding the place. All hoses are aiming towards the mausoleum, towards the group]

[pecker]

D-Don't shoot!

[cartesio]

'One of them's raising her arms!'

'Any sign of Williams?'

'None yet!'

'...it must be a trap. Eugene, get the water ready!'

[cartesio]

[ Mason turns in surprise and starts calling to them, trying to wave them off. ]

O-officers, please! We've- I-I've seen him, let's talk about this!

[pecker]

[noooo her feathers!!]

Are you people blind? Mason has him!

[cartesio]

'M-Mason?'

[One of the firefighters get out of the truck, getting on top of the outer wall of the graveyard. It's Axel, taking a good look inside the terrain]

'Mason's in there!'

[On the sky, one of the helicopters hovers over the mausoleum. A rope starts uncoiling near the area with the casino spotlights. Someone may want to prevent that]

'...they must be threatening him too or something'

'Think he's their accomplice? He wouldn't dare, he's too--'

'I'm turning on the hoses!'

[Axel turns his head. That was a more triggerhappy reaction than he expected]

'Wait!'

[At once, all the firetrucks blast water towards the graveyard. None of it is aimed directly at the visitors, it's more like it's muddying up the place. The ground turns into mud, coffins start peeking out of the ground, moving through the graveyard is a chore]

[cartesio]

[ This is not what he planned. ]

--G-guys, wait! [ And he jumps back, to avoid the splatter of mud. ] This is all just- please, they've agreed to let him go!

[clearities]

Wha--

[ Sakura is absolutely shocked by this but. ]

That's Axel-san's voice?!

[cartesio]

'Stop the water already!'

[It totally is]

[clearities]

[ She can't hide the relived sigh she makes at him stopping the water as she calls out, hoping he'll hear her: ] Thank you! [ for making an attempt to stop the water, anyway ]

[pecker]

[...Honestly. This is why she hates working with pacifists. It always creates more mess.

Could it be solved easily enough by a bird stealing the rope?]

[cartesio]

[Before the bird arrives, one of the more experienced agents starts descending. Once the bird arrives they stop, not wanting to hurt a bird. What they didn't expect was that it'd go straight at them]

'Bird!'

[The descent stopped, but they're still there. Got more birds, Niwa?]

[pecker]

[There is always more birds. She's a little bemused by their reaction being so similar to Davis's.... such nice people??? But well, let's just send a bunch and have them swoop around. They won't even peck these guys, if they're just stopping for them.]

[cartesio]

'There are too many birds!'

'Just keep going down'

'I'm not going to crash into birds just because you want me to, Molly!'

[The helicopter slowly flies around in circles while the agent hangs onto the rope for dear life]

[robitussin]

[She's obeying, and glancing at everyone else.]

...I'm gonna suggest all of us go along with it.

[pursuitofdeath]

If I'm going to die, it's not going to be in their jail cells for something that I didn't do.

[robitussin]

Dazai, if you don't raise your hands right now I will...

[...]

Okay, I have nothing to threaten you with, but seriously.

[pursuitofdeath]

[He's glad you understand.]

And what will just going along with them solve?

[At least he's not holding any weapons but.]

They're never going to listen to us.

[robitussin]

Can you at least wait and see before doing something idiotic?

[Says the girl who willingly gagged someone, tied them up and put them in a chest earlier—]

[quickpersuader]

[Kino holsters her own guns, giving Dazai an unimpressed look.]

As long as your hands aren't actually bound, it should be fine, shouldn't it?

[A guy like him should have more tricks up his sleeves.]

[pursuitofdeath]

[...you know him well.]

...fine, fine.

[He'll wait, and put his hands up. But he's not done by a long shot.]

[cartesio]

[A rookie agent approaches Dazai, gun in the air. Dazai, being the mafioso he is, may notice the safety is on the gun. Looks like this agent is trying their best not to hurt anyone, yeah]

You! The guy with the suspicious face! Get Davis here, now!

[pursuitofdeath]

[....................]

Then it's fine if I put my hands down, right?

[..................................]

[quickpersuader]

[Let's cut over Dazai with:]

Mr. Davis is with Mr. Mason. You should go talk to him instead.

[relieable]

[yeah, you know, he's going to put up his hands, too. this is game over]
