GRAVEYARD



The other side...?
Have you started feeling at home in Cartesio yet? The town has offered you every hospitality that its citizens could think of. They love every corner of this town and they want you to feel the same. Have you accepted Cartesio into your heart yet?

Then it should be comforting to wake in your hotel room. A ceiling you have gotten used to, the warmth of a blanket surrounding you, your own breathing... and silence. All-encompassing silence.
It perseveres when you leave your room, it perseveres when you leave the hotel... Cartesio is quiet because there is nobody in Cartesio who could be making noise. It's a ghost town.

There is only you now, you think. And then, just as you've given up, a noise comes to your ears. A voice, unmistakably. It's time to follow it.

As of Week 5 you may see random objects and buildings of any size flicker. For milli-seconds they seem to glow on and off, blur around the edges, even distort a little. It only happens for a moment at a time, but it happens fairly often.

Welcome to the Cartesio Graveyard. Your character has woken up in a version of the town that is devoid of citizens, but there do seem to be a few people around. Time to explore the mysteries of the other side. For a more thorough OOC guide, we have compiled an FAQ.

[That is fair. Very fair. Nagisa is already reminded of Terasaka.]

I don't know. I just woke up in the lobby. The guestbook is different, and I haven't seen anyone else yet.

That's weird, yo.

[ He'll give the kid one more look over before heading to the guest book to check it out. It looks the same for him.

So it was different for Sakura's group before? ]


What the hell kind of game is he playing now?

What can you tell me about the last two weeks? Right now, you're the only source I have for that information. Without it... I can't begin to guess what he's doing, or how to take him down.

[He's been out to kill the Sergeant - and whatever higher-ups he may have - for a while.]

[ Do you want to hear about how he was trying to charm three different chicks? Three and a half if you count the one that's too old for him. ]

Well, that bastard brought us all here. [ A gesture to the hotel ] And then told us we have to kill, but he's letting us have a break, yo. Oh! And he likes property damage?

[ Nine just waves his hand. ]

Whatever, so that creeper had us hand for a week and a half before he started to pull shit. He threatened everyone we knew and had us trash a theater.
theserpentsmiles: (You can't keep us down forever)

[Nothing he's not used to from Maehara. And maybe Okajima, though 'charm' isn't really the word to use with him.]

....sounds like we were just a practice run.

[He can imagine the Sergeant threatening Class E. And himself laughing at him for it - actually going after them would be a good way to get dead. He's not going to ask about who died as a result of that motive or who was threatened specifically. Not yet.]

And there was nothing else? Like...those of us who didn't go on his mission had to deal with putting out a major fire.

[ He frowns at that. ]

Who the hell would think Sakura make a great practice round? Or even keep her in the next one?

[ Mostly at himself. ]

Nothing else. We all woke up in the theater and was told to do the thing or else.
theserpentsmiles: (Even if I were to tell myself)

[personal profile] theserpentsmiles 2018-10-21 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Sergeant-san, apparently. [He heard that.]

That's different. As far as I know, those who did what Sergeant-san asked instead of helping with the fire did so completely by choice. And it seemed like they weren't able to recognize one another.

Huh? That's weird as hell, yo. How could they not-

[ A pause before he waves at the front of his own face. ]

Think he did that weird as hell shadow thing?

[ Also this is confirmation or something that Nine knew who his victim was ]
theserpentsmiles: (Here we are at the top of the hill)

[personal profile] theserpentsmiles 2018-10-21 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, maybe. [So his face stays in shadow all the time? It wasn't just a matter of convenient positioning...]

All I know is at the trial, Shirogane-san used that task as an alibi, and claimed to have been spray-painting a wall. Wayne-san's response was something like "so that was you?".

Makes me wonder if that's still an option, or if not, why we had it and you didn't.

He didn't really provide any options, yo. [ hmm ] I did try to punch the bastard during our first meeting, so that might have had something to do with it?

[ WHO KNOWS. ]
theserpentsmiles: (I'd have to reassure myself that)

[personal profile] theserpentsmiles 2018-10-21 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
....I forget if anyone attacked him outright at our first meeting. I wanted to.

[But Nagisa has a cool enough head to have just quietly begun plotting the man's murder instead. "And you to never find out", huh? He's pretty sure he set him on alert....but we'll see about 'never'.]
