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.

[clearities]

[ After weeks of waiting, everything has finally paid off, although she isn't exactly certain how she feels about getting her staff back like this. She immediately heads towards the park, the key worn around her neck like a necklace. Maybe this will at least get her to relax, just a little. If she does something that's familiar for her. Removing the key from her neck, she chants the familiar spell: ] Key that hides the forces of dreams! Show me your true power... [ And the moment she says those words, a large magic circle appears underneath her feet. ] Release! [ The small key then turns into a larger staff, which she magnificently twirls around in her hands before it settles. Taking out one of her cards from her pockets, she hums to herself, glancing around curiously to see if there's anyone around. ] I wonder if it'll work... [...] No, it has to. [ Or at least, she hopes so. She takes out one of the cards out of her pocket, and readying herself to use it, the magic circle once again appears under her, tossing the card out to float in mid-air as she calls out the card name: ] Flight! [ And a ribbon seems to appear, floating in mid-air as it attaches itself behind Sakura, fluttering excitedly before it seems to zoom her all the way up in the sky. Which causes more surprised noises. But what surprises her even more than that is that after she's in the air for five minutes, Flight disappears. Uh. Someone might want to catch her because she is falling with a loud: ] Hoeeeeeee—!!

[relieable]

[this has been a bad week for Osomatsu. he still can't believe he watched the Sergeant kill Sting today. just days ago, they'd had a really nice conversation...

he needs to stop telling people how he actually feels. because it seems like everyone he opens up to has died. Natalie and Sakura are at least still around...

speaking of Sakura, isn't that her flying overhead? he looks surprised, gawking like the idiot he is]

S-Sakura... chan...

[she's doing it, she's getting free! free of this place...!

ah, wait, no. she's actually falling! Osomatsu moves to catch her, running as fast as his legs can carry him, holding out his arms]

Sakura-chan!

[clearities]

[ And she's caught, thankfully, although she's still a little out of it, her staff in her hands. ] Sorry...

[relieable]

[oof! she's not very heavy, but she fell fast. thankfully, Osomatsu is able to keep his balance. he eyes the staff, but the girl is more important]

Sakura-chan! Are you okay?

[clearities]

>I'm fine, but-- Flight-san disappeared...!

[relieable]

Flight-san? [huh? he carefully puts her down on her feet, then checks over her to make sure there are no injuries]

[clearities]

It was-- [ She hesitates a little, bringing her staff close to her chest. Sakura seems to be uninjured, at least. ] Flight-san was the card I was using...!

[relieable]

[the staff, huh... she got it back, while he got a stuffed horse]

Ah. [he remembers when he showed her that other card, Record] Did it... go somewhere?

[clearities]

Usually it would turn back into a card when I wanted it to, but it just suddenly vanished... I don't know what happened...

[relieable]

[that's worrying! so she doesn't have the card anymore?]

So the card let you fly... for a little while... but now it's gone. I wonder if Sarge has it.

[clearities]

Yeah... I'm kind of sad about it, because if I used Mirror-san, I could have had someone join me... [ She does look rather distraught, not going to lie. ]

[relieable]

[???]

Sakura-chan, how many cards are there? [how many does she have?]

[clearities]

There's the Sakura cards but those turned blank... and then there's the Clear cards-- the ones I have now. Currently, I captured thirteen of the Clear cards. There's nineteen Sakura cards.

[relieable]

[oh, he was worried there were, like, hundreds of cards!]

I see. [he's thinking. usually the cards don't just disappear like that. it really sounds like the Sergeant has something to do with this] Well, maybe try not to use anymore of your cards for the time being. It feels, to me, like whatever powers you have are limited while we're here.

[clearities]

But what if I can help someone with them...? [ and there might not be hundreds now but, uh powers: being able to create her own magic into cards is a thing ]

[relieable]

[wow Sakura]

...What if you lose them for good if you use them here?

[clearities]

[ Yeah, she's pretty powerful... but she is also not aware that she can create cards. Oops. ]

Everything will surely be alright. I'm certain that... even if they disappear, it won't be for good.

[relieable]

[ah. hm. he nods]

I guess... you'd know more about your own cards than me. If you feel that they'll come back to you, then use them to help people. [...] Though, I dunno if I'd try flying again.

[clearities]

Yeah, I wouldn't... want to potentially hurt myself again.

[relieable]

Right. [he was just glad that he'd been walking by at the time] Everyone'd be really upset if you got hurt. [in any way. Sakura was precious! she needed to be protected]

[quickpersuader]

[Oh shit she's flying.

...Oh shit, not anymore. Kino thinks fast, darting to try to catch her - though they're both likely to end up crashing on the ground due to size. Ouch.]

[clearities]

[ Sorry if she lands face first into you Kino, this is. It is not what she intended. ]

[quickpersuader]

[There's a thud and a groan of pain, but on the bright side, we do not have any broken Sakuras. After a moment, Kino manages to pull herself together enough to ask:]

You... okay?

[clearities]

I think... [ She does have to get off and make sure that she's up on her feet, still gripping onto her staff tight. ] I should be?

[quickpersuader]

[Oh good she's off now.

Kino just lays back heavily again.]

That's good.

[Owwwwww.]
