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.

[ Lovepon shudders at that. Though she's spent two weeks thinking about the moment of her passing over and over and over, there is still something raw about the memory. ]

N-no injures carried over, I was fine.
theserpentsmiles: (Let's mark this down as the day)

Hmm... [He's not sure what to make of all this, but it does tell him there are questions to be answered, not just asked.]

What have you investigated since waking up?
agoreable: (04. pout)

[personal profile] agoreable 2018-10-17 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been around the town over and over... but there's not much to find. It's all abandoned and lonely.

At first I still had to avoid that woman, but now that she's gone... the most you can do is explore the different apartments.
theserpentsmiles: (Here we are at the top of the hill)

[personal profile] theserpentsmiles 2018-10-17 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Everything's unlocked except for the lodge.

[So what she's found is consistent with his own findings. Hm.]

Did you notice how fake they all seemed?
agoreable: (10. thinking)

[personal profile] agoreable 2018-10-18 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Mhm. Nobody lives there, for sure.

They don't collect dust though, no matter how long it's been. I've certainly not been cleaning them.
theserpentsmiles: (All alone at the station's end)

[personal profile] theserpentsmiles 2018-10-18 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
This is all really weird.

[The best he can think of is like...this is some kind of set for a movie or something, except all the actors are the townspeople on a different plane of reality or...something? He doesn't get it.]

It's like a mock-up of a town. Or an outline, but for a town instead of a paper.
agoreable: (14. listening)

[personal profile] agoreable 2018-10-20 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
It's got plenty of comfortable living space at least. I'm happy that I no longer have to be lonely in it.

[ Starting her life over in a new place is what Lovepon wanted from the start, but she had neither included dying nor excruciating loneliness in this plan.

Her happiness about having other people here is thus very genuine. ]
theserpentsmiles: (It takes more than meets the eye)

[personal profile] theserpentsmiles 2018-10-20 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods; that's definitely something he can understand. No one should be that alone.]

I guess that's good, since we'll probably be stuck here for a bit. I'm going to figure out what's going on, though - I can't stay here forever.
agoreable: (13. considering)

[personal profile] agoreable 2018-10-21 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
If this was a safe place with a bit more people, I wouldn't mind staying here..... but I don't want to disappear either. So I'll help you as much as I can to understand this place.
theserpentsmiles: (From their textbooks)

[personal profile] theserpentsmiles 2018-10-21 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I might not, either, if there were more people... ['Safe' is a nice dream.] But I promised sensei I'd become a teacher like him. For that, I need to go to high school, then on to training... It took a lot to get this chance.

So, thank you, Lovepon-san.
agoreable: (01. Happy)

[personal profile] agoreable 2018-10-21 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That gets an actual smile from Lovepon. ]

That's a good goal. If you have something important like that, I understanding going back.
theserpentsmiles: (Well you're not the only one)

[personal profile] theserpentsmiles 2018-10-21 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[A bright smile.]

I look forward to working with you, Lovepon-san. For the future - for our futures.
