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.

Alternatively, what happens if Keith just... fucking waves at the screen?]
no subject
Waving at the screen does absolutely nothing. Sorry, Keith. ]
no subject
He'll set the camera on record. He is, of course, so thrilled to be doing this so all of y'all are getting treated to some scowling. What he says is...]
Hey, pervs and degenerates. Wave if this is getting through.
[...Time to play this back on a TV? See what happens.]
no subject
There's a little break and then the screen comes back to life with an answer video.
First there is Cian, facing the camera with a serious expression. And then she bows so deeply that her head almost leaves the video and stays like that for a little bit. Once she comes back up, the video moves on.
Now there is a blue-haired child who is unfamiliar to Keith who is holding up a piece of paper. There may be writing on it, but the noise is too strong to read it.
Olympia steps next to the stranger and places her hands over her ears. Then the video ends. ]
no subject
His expression is decidedly a little less ticked off when he sees Cian though, but that doesn't last long because the blue haired child just... ??? M-Millium??? Then he's right back to linefacing at Olympia. Before that video feed can end, he's shouting over his shoulder at the rest of the people gathered here on their side.]
Guys. Anyone recognize her?
[Then he'll be grabbing the camera again. Time to think of how to send a message without relying on audio. He'll assume for now that the videos he's making appear just as grainy on their side... so. Charades maybe.
Somehow this is worse than Garfle Warfle Snick. Somehow.
New recording: Pointing at himself, 2. Pointing at his ear. 3. Crossing his arms to make a giant X. 4. Miming writing words on a piece of paper and holding it out for the camera. 5. Another X with his arms.
Let's play that one back.]
no subject
[ sorry, Sakura's at the cash register now so she can't see it but trying to be helpful here since she's the only one who'd recognize the others from her group now ]
no subject
Sound like anyone from the first group?
no subject
That's Nagisa-kun. He was a part of my group, yeah.
no subject
no subject
no subject
I'll take your word for it. Thanks, Sakura.
no subject
This time you see Bakugou. He's holding up a few pieces of paper after one another, but... huh? How odd? The grain goes absolutely ballistic but only on the paper, rendering it entirely unreadable.
Next up is Dazai - He waves at the screen, then he gives a solemn bow, then makes a heart with his hands while he smiles. He ends with a gesture of pointing to his eyes and then pointing to the camera with a confidant look on his face. ]
no subject
Let's try this with words on his end this time. Maybe he was wrong to assume his words won't go through?
Next vlog is a video of himself holding up some receipt paper with the words:
INTERFERENCE BLOCKING WORDS. WAVE IF YOU CAN READ THIS. GABE?
Then the video's switching over to Oso being the focus!]
no subject
as for his other message, his expression becomes a bit more solemn, and he holds up the receipt paper.
it reads I'm sorry. then he's done]
no subject
They can't hear us. You gotta draw pictures, or write stuff down. [if Keith's going to record again, Osomatsu wants to show Franciscus that his pokémon are okay. and say hi to everyone]
no subject
[Gesturing at the unfamiliar bue haired kid on the screen holding that written message that is unreadable due to interference. But considering anything's better than more charades....]
Got a pen and paper?
[He'll trade for the camera if Oso wants to record a vlog while Keith writes some stuff down!]
no subject
I have a pen, but no paper. [he'll give that to Keith. it's a thick marker he's been carrying around. maybe it'll show up better on the camera?]
no subject
[Oso's getting the camera while Keith borrows the pen fro him. Time to . real quickly borrow some paper from the cash register's receipt printer. That'll be fine, surely.
He returns with this fairly quickly.]
What do you want to tell them.
no subject
Uh. I just wanted Franciscus to see his Pokémon, 'cause he was asking about them in the other video.
[and...]
...And, I want him to know that I'm sorry.
