GRAVEYARD

[cartesio]

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.

... but what? Sorry, I don't think I follow.

[ STOP SPEAKING IN RIDDLES, CHILD. ]

[theserpentsmiles]

[He has not actually shared his theory yet, for the sake of open minds!! But since you ask...]

I'm starting to think this town isn't real and never was - like, it's all a simulation. That's why all the details beyond the surface are so...generic.

I'm also not sure anyone here is actually dead, but that's a lot harder to figure out.

[monstrology]

A...what, now?

[Is this more tech...god, please don't let this be more tech.]

[kingbomber]

A simulation. What, you don't know what that fucking is?

[monstrology]

I'm familiar with the term, just not in this context.

[kingbomber]

Yeah right.

[ Sorry he's like this... ]

Imagine a world created by some kind of high-tech computer or some piece of advanced technology, except it's all obviously fake. There you go, that's a simulation.

[monstrology]

[Thanks, Bakugou...

That explanation just gets a completely blank look from Will for a good long moment.]

I-- [He rubs at his temples.] What? And I thought those giant robots back home were ridiculous!

[GOD, WHY. HE SAID PLEASE DON'T LET THIS BE MORE TECH.]

[kingbomber]

[ Poor Will... ]

...Giant robots? What the hell?

[ ... on the other hand, they don't exactly have a ton of those running around here either. ]

[monstrology]

Yeah... I couldn't begin to explain how they work. Machines really aren't my thing. I was just visiting that place for the monster research.

[HE COMES FROM LIKE...MEDIEVAL JRPG LAND BUT SUDDENLY ONE SERIES OF EVENTS HAS MECHS?! He doesn't even.]

[kingbomber]

What, you some kind of weird monster scientist or something?

[ Granblue Fantasy...why r u like this... ]

[doublelammy]

You have giant robots, too?!

[Millium, that's not the point...]

[monstrology]

[It is now!!]

Well, not me. There are researchers on this one island who build them to combat a type of creature called Abominations. I'm not really sure how they work- I was there to do research on the Abominations.

[doublelammy]

Oooh. We've got giant robots back home, too! Divine Knights n' Soldat units! And Lammy n' Sammy, but they're not really giant, just bigger than me.

[Which... is not difficult to accomplish.]

Mostly they just fight each other, though.

[carbide]

[PEERS]

That is similar to my origin.

[carbide]

[EXCUSE YOU DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST TECH OLYMPIA IS actually not helping tech's case by existing is she]

[linearcrash]

[ Uh. Is she still naked ]

[carbide]

[She sure is! WE HAVE A NUDIST ROBOT NOW, HOORAY]

[monstrology]

[OLYMPIA IS FINE (WHAT SHE DID HERE ASIDE), Will even knows of robots kinda similar to her. He just isn't into tech.]

[carbide]

[...god, Robomi would actually do Olympia a big concern. People shouldn't become robots it just leads to them being sad.]

[snideper]

Go be useless as usual somewhere else.

[she says, from the counter, where she is doing absolutely nothing useful herself]

[kingbomber]

You haven't done shit but be useless; at least I've actually done something that's worth mentioning.

[ Here we go again ig ]

[snideper]

What, like blow up a couple buildings, set some fires? Real helpful. Super heroic of you. You're doing great.

[ah, glorious sarcasm]

[kingbomber]

Yeah, it's super fucking heroic, and in case you haven't noticed, it's been real helpful for people on the other side, dipshit.

[ Bakugou's more or less 100% sure of that for the lodge, but also fire department too because he doesn't like anyone there and fuck them. Then again he doesn't like any of the townspeople . . . ]

Then again, you're a dumb piece of shit who doesn't know the meaning of 'helpful' so it's not like you would know even if you did notice.

[snideper]

Oh, I'm sure they're appreciating all the destruction. Bet your friends over there love being blamed for your stupidity by the rest of the residents. Seriously, I'm not doing anything and I'm being less of a pain in the ass than you are! I'm almost jealous.

[she's wasting no fucking time escalating this huh]

[carbide]

This would explain my presence.

[I hope nobody is assuming she'll elaborate on that.]
