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.

Nine will see her slumped against the motel. Not even going to give her a warning as he moves quickly to her side and kneels down. Putting his arms around her to pull her into a tight hug. It hurts seeing her here. It hurts seeing her like this. All of the screaming into the void or doing his best to try to make sure she would get another shot out of here...
But he's also glad he can actually hug her like this again and he hates himself for it. ]
Hey...
no subject
And then she realizes exactly who it is, and...
...you know what? She can't even be upset. There's so much to be upset about, but right now? None of that seems to matter, because she's just throwing her arms around Nine and burying her face right into his shoulder as her eyes well up.]
Nine!
no subject
Squeezing her tight, and trying to ignore the way his own eyes are blurring with tears. ]
Yo, it's been a while, huh.
no subject
...Ehe... yeah. Yeah, it sure has...
[She clings a little tighter, too, rubbing her face against him almost like she's nuzzling against him.]
...I really missed you.
no subject
I missed you too, hey. I really missed you.
[ He can admit that now that she's actually hear. ]
Didn't really want to see you like this though.
no subject
I didn't, either... I promised Natalie I wouldn't be stupid n' everything. I thought I'd be okay, I even went up there with Lammy, but I only turned around for one second and...
no subject
Hey, it ain't your fault. You did your best, yo. You didn't know what was waiting for you up there.
no subject
[That feeling when the girl who's just been murdered is crying in a murderer's arms. Murdergames!]
I'm gonna make all of them worry...
[A pause before she pulls back, just a little so that she can look up at him, a thought having occurred to her.]
...You guys have been the ones sending us messages. Haven't you?
no subject
[ He leans his head back to try to catch her gaze. ]
Look, I have a heartbeat. I'm warm. We're alive here.
[ So othere's hope for something. ]
Yeah, we've been trying.
listen i can't tell you why but the heartbeat comment KILLS ME
...Yeah. Yeah, you're right. ...And you, too, dummy. 'Cause where you belong is alive n' back with us.
[Maybe his old family is gone, but... well, if her original plan upon leaving this hellhole had gone through? Hers would have been pretty well and demolished, too.
So. All there is to do from here is start anew, right?]
...aha... yeah, I guess that's true enough. Not that it makes any sense, but I don't even remember the last time anything did.
[A little sigh as she tries to compose herself.]
Then I'm just... gonna have to try to send one to Natalie n' tell her I'm okay.
Is Olympia a real girl now
I know, I know. Bakugou might kick my ass if I don't.
[ He's not making any promises though cause he will give up his chance if it means they can go on. ]
Yeah, maybe skip the blood part. Slashes might work though, yo.
[ Though speaking of... ]
Nagisa is here.
olympia will never be a real girl, but she might be a substitute lammy
[Technically, Millium can't argue that line of logic. She'd do it for Class VII, too, after all. But they'll have time to argue about that later – right now, she doesn't even know he's thinking it.]
Huh... you think? ...Is this junkyard still fulla knives? I think I could make that work.
...Nagisa?
[Guess who hasn't re-met him yet and totally forgot his name? This kid!]
regaining her cat on a roomba status
[ Hanging out or encouraging him to blow shit up. Same difference right? ]
You know it. Someone has to keep him on his toes, yo.
[ Then he'll give a nod at the knives part. ]
Yeah, everything is pretty much the same, yo. Just way less people.
[ He'll finally move a hand to indicate a short height- even though they are on the ground. ]
Yeah, Short Stuff. You'll see him around.
no subject
Ehehe... good. I'm glad.
[And she really sounds it. That means she can make the best of things here, after all, and attach herself to both of her idiots without worrying too much about one of them killing the other for a second (or third, or fourth, or several hundredth) time.
To the note on Nagisa, she nods, but it's unclear if any of that meant anything to her.]
Okay. Well... maybe it's better there aren't so many people here, y'know? Way fewer rocks flyin' through windows...
no subject
Now that you're here, you can help me keep an eye on him, hey.
[ Use the spy skills, girl. Or just latch on like this. ]
Huh? What's that about rocks? What the hell is happening on that side?
no subject
Roger! Best mission I've ever been given~
[...oh, yeah, the townsfolk. That's less fun to talk about.]
Oh, um. The townspeople basically hate our guts, so they started throwing rocks through the motel windows and painting nasty things on the side of the building.
Also they kinda thought I was the mastermind behind everything 'cause I tried to lie to the newspaper guy about killing Clarisse.
no subject
I knew I can count on you, hey.
[ He's still very proud of his little spy. Though he'll give her a big squeeze over the state of the other Cart. ]
Huh? Maybe they saw through your cute exterior.
[ Nine is kind of grinning at that. ]
Whatever. Those assholes will believe whatever the hell they want.
no subject
[tfw her alignment is firmly on the chaotic end of the grid...]
Aha... I gotta admit, I wasn't expectin' him to call me out like that? I don't even remember him bein' there for the execution. So I didn't know what to do, 'cause I was tryin' to explain to him that we were all scared and that's why we were armed when he brought it up...
Soooo I kinda wound up fake-cryin' on Oda. And I guess that convinced him I was the one behind all of this. Somehow.
[SIGH! Her life is so hard.]
Not like it matters much anymore. Guess Keet's back to bein' alone in havin' the entire town cross the street to avoid him... gotta say, I won't miss it.
no subject
[ Also the dude seems like a loser anyways. Spy life is always hard. o/\o ]
Hey, he's not really alone. And if he was, he's probably used to that. He doesn't exactly inspire trust in people normally, yo.
no subject
[Honestly, the mastermind thing was pretty funny, but insulting Sakura is the highest offense. As every "tourist" better know at this point.]
Ehe... that's true enough. He's a good guy, though, y'know? Way easy to mess with, but he's a big ol softy underneath it all.
no subject
[ She was crying over the the town not liking them in the BEGINNING. He can't fathom what she's going through now. Makes him feel bad. ]
Hey, I know. He can be pretty good past all of that... [ They had a moment or two when he was still alive. ] Man, didn't know him and Cian though.
[ Totally before he gets the correction from her about the sleeping together. ]
no subject
[The unfortunate(?) part about Nine running into her first is that there is so much Millium doesn't know yet.
Who killed her. That Cian is even dead, never mind Azura, Franciscus, and Oda.
Or anything about what he's talking about.]
...wait, wait. Keith and Cian are an item now?!
no subject
He needs to figure out if there's something he can do cause Sakura needs a boost or something. Those thoughts are quickly gone as soon as they get on to the Keet and Cian topic though. ]
Huh? Yeah. Keith's alibi for your murder was that he was sleeping with Cian.
[ Let's just make this embarrassing for Cian later. ]
no subject
[If Millium could pull off anime sparkles in real life, she'd be doing it right now.]
I'm so proud of him...! Geddit, Keet~!
no subject
[ Also Keith is pretty and intense? So score, Cian. ]
