[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.

Maybe, if you could actually manage to hit me.

[She just sounds impassively bored instead of condescending or boastful about it, though...]

[doublelammy]

Guess we're gonna have to find out~!

[child why are you the way you are]

[carbide]

I could hold you in place.

[snideper]

Actually catch me and you can do what you want.

[but again, she doesn't actually sound like she cares...]

[carbide]

[Olympia immediately reaches toward her.]

[snideper]

[dead dove do not eat.jpg

but Clarisse easily hops back along the counter out of reach. fuckin, are we doing this, is this what's happening]

[carbide]

[Well, uh... something is happening, anyway. Something that consists of Olympia just kind of walking after her, arm still outstretched. It's all very "token attempt made on principle."]

[snideper]

[just. deadeyed stare as she strides and hops back and forth across the counter as necessary]

You done yet?

[carbide]

No.

[Listen. It might take a few minutes, or a few hours, or all day, but Clarisse has to get tired eventually.]

[snideper]

[well. well,

Clarisse'll humor this for another, like, minute tops, before realizing how fuckin dedicated to the bit Olympia is, and then she's just gonna feint in one direction, hop off the counter, and...try to leave. The meeting is absolutely not worth the effort!!]

[carbide]

[Well, Olympia can't just abandon her post as Olammia, so evidently their incredibly stupid confrontation ends here.

She's definitely claiming this as a victory.]

[linearcrash]

[ Hey, she does know where Clarisse sleeps at night. ]
