Week 7: May 13th - May 17th

Seventh Week

The tense truce that had covered Cartesio was over. The town, feeling betrayed after having given a chance to the outsiders, pushed back. Enraged, they started getting even more daring, starting to get into the tourists' only safe haven: their motel rooms. They don't manage to break in, but it's not unusual to hear thumping on the doors, someone trying to get in. The windows are almost perpetually broken, there's so much graffiti on the ground floor of the motel, both inside and outside, it's hard to know what each one is saying. Can't be anything good, that's the only thing that's certain. The lounge's furniture has been tore to pieces, the lobby only has the guestbook intact, and the planters in middle of the motel are broken, the soil and plants strewn around.

The residents of Cartesio are near their breaking point. The despair, fury, and desire to get rid of the outsiders so everyone can return to their peaceful lives, have covered the town. It won't take long before they reach their breaking point, and if they do...what will happen to the visitors?

The Sergeant's grip on the town is total, and next week is the one marked as END. It seems like there's no way out, like the Sergeant won.

But you can't lose hope. You have to remember: now that you're on your darkest hour, the only way lef to go is upwards. Things can get better, you have to make it happen!

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.

[Weather: The sun shines for the first time in a while. Starry night.

Surprisingly, the parade commemorating the pivotal moment of the foundation of Cartesio went without a hitch.

For the first time in a long while, a Wednesday night ends peacefully. The night wasn't uneventful in terms of interference, though. There were reports of the outsiders messing around, several people saw them working on contraptions all over the town. A police investigation later proved these devices were rigged to overload the town's oil delivery system, causing catastrophic damages to properties all over Cartesio. Agent Nanette Johnson informed there's something strange about the devices, and commented she suspects there's something else afoot. Is it related to the outsiders?

We shouldn't forget the outsiders' actions so far. This could be another attempt to disturb the peace. We cannot let our guards down.

For the time being, we can enjoy the rest of our celebrations. Today the jam contest in the ice cream parlor will be held, we invite everyone to partake in it.]

Despite the article refusing to give the visitors any credit, it seems the townspeople of Cartesio think different. For the first time in a very long while, nobody is yelling at the visitors. It's a far cry from the welcoming attitudes at first, but it's also heaps better than the hostility from before. Some people even seem to temptatively approach, although they back off pretty soon.

The dark cloud of hostility and social chaos that had covered Cartesio is starting to fade.
