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.

I doubt he has any intention of helping us. At least not without getting something in return.

[He would like to kill him personally but— if he could save them...]

[robitussin]

...Right. As if we could offer him more than we've already given him.

[She sighs.]

[pursuitofdeath]

...you’re right. As of right now, we don’t have anything to offer. However, should we gain the advantage in the future, with the right leverage we may be able to bargain with him. It’s... a good thing to keep in mind.

[robitussin]

Yeah. I guess the hard part is actually finding it.

[She crosses her arms.]

[pursuitofdeath]

It won’t be easy but— we’ve always known that. And we’re going to get out of this despite that.

[It’s the least he can say for them all now when more than a few of them have been supporting him this past week.]

[robitussin]

...You know, when it comes down to it you're more optimistic than I thought you'd be.

[It comes with a small smile.]

[pursuitofdeath]

Oh I don't know. Perhaps I just hate losing.

[But it's said with a matching smile and a chuckle.]

[robitussin]

Stubbornness is just a different kind of optimism.

[There's an amused noise, nearly a laugh.]

I guess we've both got that kind to spare.

[pursuitofdeath]

I suppose you may have a point.

[That actually reminds him of something. A particular phrase someone used several times that had stuck with him.]

...there was something Milly would always say.

"Forward. Relentlessly."

i don't think that's such a bad way to put it.

[robitussin]

...Yeah. She was pretty smart like that.

[There's something raw about her tone that she tries to keep locked away until she speaks.]
