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.

I don't know. I do know someone I thought was dead is here, but it didn't feel like enough of a shock to be lethal. [He frowns, still unsure what to make of Lovepon and....all of this. And the way Natsume had been here but not.]

My specialties are research, observation, assassination, and tutoring. [He would probably lose a fistfight with a mosquito.]

I'm pretty sure I died. You don't just survive a stab like the one I received. Being revived isn't so weird, though.

[Moloch takes notes, raising his eyebrows. Research, observation, assassination and tutoring. Well one doesn't fit among the rest.

Tutoring, he means]


Right. You'd be good as a scout, I guess...

[To check stuff and fight enemies if they try to stop Nagisa, he figures]

[He pauses for a moment. Moloch's words, "a stab like the one", "being revived"... He remembers Kayano. She couldn't have been dead. Sensei just got to her fast enough - they already knew her willpower was stronger than anything.]

It isn't where I come from. The dead don't come back. Ever. [Sensei is gone.] But Lovepon-san is in one piece and even has a pulse.

Recon, I can do. [That's basically scouting.]

It's not that common, and you need the technology and skill to do it properly, so...only the wrong people get the chance, anyway. Like those from noble families.

[Luckily for everyone, the rules say they can't revive deceased heirs of families, so it's used for, say, reviving enemies in order to interrogating them]

Who is this Loveponsan?

[Nice, someone capable of recon. That could be useful someday]
theserpentsmiles: (This is my last warning: a courtesy call)

...Ah. That kind of thing. [Asano is his best comparison. The Five Virtuosos. He narrows his eyes slightly - the war is won, but the setup isn't exactly uncommon. Nagisa isn't fond of it.

Moving on.]

You were in the book, so... You've met Kinomoto-san, Orion-san, and Wayne-san, right? They had to have at least told you about the group Sergeant-san brought in before you. I was part of that group. So were Lovepon-san and Mira-san. Sergeant-san demanded a murder from us. Lovepon-san was the victim, and Mira-san was her killer.

It was kind of jarring to see her all in one piece.

So that was her...I don't think Sakura mentioned the name when she told us... [Welp. Things are looking grim over here] If you're still here, then that means escaping this town in our current situation doesn't work either

I haven't tested leaving town yet, since waking up here. I came to a little while ago; judging by the calendars I'm missing two weeks. It was April 1st, last I knew.

[So. Kept unconscious, or memories erased. He's not sure which is worse or more likely.]

I do know the lodge is locked up tight, but the residences aren't. But there's something off about them.
