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.

You can see them here, too. They can't see, hear, or feel us at all, but... [You can keep up with them to make sure they're safe. As safe as anyone in Cartesio can be.

He gives a small smile.] That's okay, I'm not very memorable. It's Nagisa. Nagisa Shiota.

[doublelammy]

Nagisa. Okay! I'm gonna remember it this time!

[Learning this new friend's name (...again) has filled Millium with DETERMINATION.]

So... we're basically ghosts?

[theserpentsmiles]

Sort of? We have heartbeats, and we can't walk through walls or anything like that....but we don't need to eat, either.

[doublelammy]

[It looks like only a part of that has registered, as Millium just sits there bewildered for a moment.]

I'm a ghost.


. . .


I am the scary thing. I can do anything.

[Nagisa, what have you done?!]

[theserpentsmiles]

[Scary... She's scared of ghosts. Whoops...]

Not quite anything, but...yeah. There's nothing to be afraid of anymore.

[He literally does not feel fear do you expect him to do anything other than encourage this?]

[doublelammy]

[Fear is like, the one thing aside from pure unbridled energy she can regularly feel. Who allowed these two to collaborate...?]

Well, I mean, yeah. I'm back to being without Lammy, I guess, so that pretty much sucks, but... I can break all the rules I want here and Sarge can't do anything.

[...did... did Nagisa want a terrible blue partner in crime...]

[theserpentsmiles]

[The Sergeant did. Ready to make him regret it?]

Exactly. There's no townspeople to get mad at you, either. [...] Sorry about the blood on your wall, by the way. [It's his.]

[doublelammy]

[She has never been more ready for anything in her entire life or unlife.]

Or call me the mastermind behind all this or whatever! [GLEE.]

...Oh. Yeah, that, uh. Kind of scared me out of my room and I was stayin' with Oda and Dazai up until. Welp.
