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.

he's in the library that morning, pushing the disc into a computer in a private room. it whirs to life and...
hm... hm! that sure is Karamatsu on that CD! Karamatsu is Osomatsu's "twin," so to speak, the second-born. he's usually very animated, but sitting in this room, he looks terrified of the Sergeant. that's to be expected, he's kind of timid, after all. nonetheless, Karamatsu appears like he's trying to be his normal self, pushing his hand to his forehead as he speaks about his beloved brother in that... Karamatsu way of his, much to the Sergeant's chagrin.
"Ah, yes, my brother!" begins Karamatsu. "There is a lot I could say about him. So much, that it could fill an ocean! I hope he has not been giving you too much trouble. Sometimes, he does that."]
Like you should be talking! [Osomatsu huffs at the computer screen, as though Karamatsu were there with him, and he was able to speak to him face-to-face. the Sergeant says something in response, but Osomatsu isn't listening to him. his eyes are fixated on his brother, who looks more serious now.
"But yes...if I were to be completely honest about the eldest of our number...he is completely useless.
He is lazy, selfish, arrogant, and often thinks more of how he will benefit from a situation than the rest of us. Often times, I find myself wondering what force of fate decided that Osomatsu was the fittest of us to be the eldest. The leader."
of course... of course Karamatsu would say that! Osomatsu looks like he might shake the computer]
Who's the arrogant one, Shittymatsu?!
[he opens his mouth to yell more obscenities, when Karamatsu bows his head. he's got one leg crossed over the other, and he's tapping his foot quickly, a clear sign that he is nervous.
"Yet, I say all of this...and I would never ask to have him be anything else but my older brother. He may be all of those things I just described, but I do not truly think anyone else could be the way he is. He has a certain...aura about him, do you understand? He is easygoing and can turn a bad situation around without thinking about it. He wants to have fun in his life. Whenever someone thinks 'Matsuno Brothers', they think of Osomatsu first."
Osomatsu's fangs disappear. his mouth closes, his muscles relax.
"In a sense...Osomatsu is the reason we are who we are. Without Osomatsu, we would not be the Matsuno sextuplets. We would simply be five brothers who happen to look the same.
I am not sure I could ever fully explain what I mean to you when I say this, especially if you do not have siblings. Osomatsu is the only older brother I have.
That makes him irreplaceable."]
...
[they don't always get along. in fact, Karamatsu has been known to call Osomatsu out on his bullshit. but he seems like he really misses him. perhaps he's also stressed because he's had to be the rock of the family now. Osomatsu touches the screen sadly when he watches, eyes becoming glassy. seeing those three hostages is really taking a toll on him. he's sure the Sargeant must have Ichimatsu and Jyushimatsu somewhere, too, or even his parents.
after hanging out in the library for a while, he decides to wander around town. he wanted to look at some of the fair stalls today, but he's not really in the mood]
