Week 7: May 13th - May 17th

[cartesio]

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.

[ likewise, bolin saw his own video and is... pretty shaken up by the entire thing. he went to the park, like always, to clear his mind and let out some steam, when he comes across sakura ]

Oh, hey Sakura.

[clearities]

Was I bothering you? [ because she honestly wouldn't want that, to be honest. and, well... she'd rather fret over others than prioritize herself right now. ]

[tuffguy]

No, no! You're fine.

[ sees her skipping pebbles ] Trying to clear your mind?

[clearities]

Something like that. [ she smiles, but it's a little sad ] I thought that maybe it would help me come up with something.

[tuffguy]

--About what we got?

[clearities]

Well, that and... someone special to me told me something about myself that I didn't know before. Along with other things. [ she stops throwing the pebbles into the water and laces her fingers together, a little thoughtfully ]

[tuffguy]

Oh, really? Like, all at once?

[clearities]

[ she dips her head into a nod ] Mm. It was short, and I think he wanted to tell me for a while, but... couldn't, before. Maybe he wanted to tell me now because of all this. [ even if he might not know the exact details of the situation, he knows that it's Very Bad and therefore, telling the truth now is better than later, especially when things are unpredictable ]

[tuffguy]

Does he figure that you can use it to help you out here?

[clearities]

I don't think he said it because of that. I think... he just wanted to tell me the truth because he's been keeping it a secret from me. [ he was probably just extremely worried about her ]
