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.

[Kino places a hand on the back of her head.]

It's just an ice skating rink. It's fine if you don't want to take the fall for me messing around.

But it wouldn't be fair if I did nothing except run away, either!

[ because she feels like that's a lot of what she's been doing.

nothing. ]
quickpersuader: (While someone)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-15 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
You're taking this pretty seriously...

[personal profile] clearities 2018-11-15 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ and that's what gets her to quiet down, just a little ]

Is that... bad?
quickpersuader: (turns into a cloud)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-15 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm...

I think it's important to take some things seriously around here. But I think it's okay not to take everything seriously sometimes.

Like if you just want to try ice skating.

[personal profile] clearities 2018-11-15 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm... I just think that I shouldn't want to try ice skating if it means we'll get into trouble, or people get hurt because of a machine we can't operate.

But I think we can at least try to see if we can figure it out.
quickpersuader: (And then the)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-17 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
About that...

I can drive things other than a motorrad. [Enough, anyway.] I don't really think it's going to be too much trouble.

[She was joking from the start, it was just. The same tone as usual.]

Ho~e?

[ she's so easily fooled ] Hoeeeeeee--!! Really?!
quickpersuader: (the mountains)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-18 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Really. I don't think I could do any fine-tuned driving, but I should be able to stop it from any big crashes.

[personal profile] clearities 2018-11-18 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
That's good.

[ thank god. ] Then let's do this.
quickpersuader: (clouds)

[With a nod, Kino leads the way to the machines, climbing onto one fearlessly. Once she's up in the seat, she spends a moment looking over the controls.]

Well... It's got a normal steering wheel, at least. [Squinting at the levers.]

Conditioner... Vertical and horizontal augers... and dump tank? [Oh!] Hot water, cold water, and blade.

[personal profile] clearities 2018-11-19 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Blade?!

[ no seriously.

what. ]
quickpersuader: (turns into a cloud)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-21 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm...

[She casts a glance over to the ice.]

Are you supposed to shave it down before you put more water on it?
