cartesianism | Week 6: May 6th

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.

[Once she notices where it's zoomed into... She shifts it just a little to see if there's anyone around to move it back.]

[ As a matter of fact, there is movement! It doesn't go back to where it was but instead zooms on the word here in the third article. ]

[Noticing Natalie's reaction, she goes over to peer at it as well. And then, quietly:]

Is it them?

...Yeah.

[Which is why she’s going to run to the door and yell out, as loud as she can:]

Guys, they’re talking to us again!

[...Sorry, anyone else in the library.]

You shouldn't yell...

[In the meantime, can Kino zoom in on "hi" from "something" in the first article?]

[ She sure can! Let's see if something comes out of it! ]

[ There's a very angry "SHHHH" from somewhere behind a bookshelf at that.

And then a quieter 'shh' directed at the first one as one towns-person is trying to calm down their avid reader friend. No starting fights with the outsiders, even if there's a... truce... thing... going on! ]

[She doesn’t fazed by that, instead going back to the device and zooming in on the following sentence:

I couldn’t have hoped for a better turnout.]

[ The answer to this is a bunch of pretty fast zooms. In order, she gets:

The name Frank, zoomed in primarily on the first letters.

The mil in the middle of 'family'.

The first two letters of the word bag.

And then finally the 9 from the 1960 date of the paper. ]

[Muttered to herself:]

Franciscus, Millium, Bakugou, Nine... Got it.

[She shifts it to focus on good in the second article, and the first three letters of management in the same.]

[mmm. a bit nervous about seeing that first name. but it's nice to know that Millium is here, too. Osomatsu's going to mostly let Natalie handle this, watching over her shoulder]

[As she waits for a response...]

If you want to say anything, let me know.

[ What follows is a long chain of words and letters.

Weather, machine, J from Johnson, un from 'unmixed', k from 'work'. ]

...Weather machine junk?

[She frowns at that, before focusing on the following:

Serious hazard, sar coming. The 'sar' comes from the middle of necessary towards the end of the first article.]

[ Focus shifts to the word when in the first article, then zooms in on the wh only to shift focus to the at from 'that'. ]

[uuuh. he doesn't quite follow what Natalie was trying to say. he also doesn't get what "weather machine junk" means.

he zooms in on the conf from confidence, u from put, se from secret, and d from wonder]

[She realizes that Osomatsu wouldn’t know yet, since she’s known for just a few hours herself, so she’ll speak to him before she enters anything:]

...He said that he has ways to confront them if they keep on communicating with us. I asked him this afternoon.

[And, as such: He complained you said thing to us.]

[ The answer is simply, complained, a pause and then: no from 'now', ac from 'accordingly' and a t. ]

[And this is apparently why you don't leave the library to go walk your wolf because you miss all the things.]

What're they saying?

[She gestures towards the microfiche so he can see for himself.]

Not much yet.

[Okay that's... so they're using those to talk now?

He'll try zooming in on the phrase support from behind the scenes.]

[he's walking by the library, probably on his way to get some dinner, when he hears Natalie. Osomatsu cants his head and wanders over to the library.

...he obviously has not been here before, but it seems like it's a happening place tonight]

Who's doing what now?

Ghosts!

[Which is all the explanation he gets before she's heading back to the microfiche.]

Oh. Ghosts. Of course. [like that is a reasonable explanation. but okay. he follows her over to the machine to wait and watch]
