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.

[ Nanette stands at the lead police car, gun out. ]

What part of a missing person and reported hostage situation is a misunderstanding, Mr. Hawks?

[ Nanette is incredibly tired. ]

[icariot]

Because none of the outsiders knew a man was abducted, just that we were told to come here. I've talked to a Mr. Mason about it already, as he was the one who told me the man we had found was reported missing. The two of them are currently farther in by the mausoleum.

[A moment of consideration]

You can leave the firehoses pointed at us, but if you promise they won't shoot yet, I can escort you to them?

[cartesio]

[ A member of the community, vouching for them... That's new. Last time that happened, Mrs. Mitchell got her diner burned down, though, so Nanette is hesitant. ]

Weapons down, all of you. I know what it looks like, to be walking into a proverbial lion's den.

[icariot]

[Hawks will descend down, hands still fully visible. He'll even actually land and fold his wings up, to personally walk Nanette up to Mason and his friend.

No need to further antagonize by being impolite after all.]

Right this way, ma'am.

[cartesio]

[ Of course the hoses still go off at one point because someone's trigger-happy and absolutely getting demoted, but alright. Alright, she'll walk on in, nod to Mason as he passes, the man looking like he's gotten so far in over his head.

Mason had propped up Davis against a wall, before rushing out. It's not...too far into the mausoleum. ]

Any funny business, and I'm not opposed to shooting those...those wings of yours, Mr. Hawks.

[icariot]

And you're welcome to, if you have evidence that I'm being dishonest. My wings are my livelihood and my life--my ability to save people as a hero--so I take them extremely seriously.

[Dead serious, actually. His life is nothing without them, which should help prove his sincerity.]

As you can see, Mr. Mason was unharmed, and Mr. Davis is right here. He was given a tranquilizer at one point, back when people were worried his confusion would make the general confusion both sides had worse. No one wanted him--or anyone--injured tonight.

[cartesio]

[ Well... She's going to look over him, properly. ]

Only if you give me reason to. I'm not about to turn my weapon on someone unless absolutely necessary.

[ At least one person in this police force believes that. ]

...I'm not pleased you've drugged one of my town, but he does seem unharmed, besides that.
