[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.

[Will has some info to share!]

I'm still not quite sure what to make of this, but... While I was scouring the junkyard, I came across some kind of cube-shaped console that controls the weather. I tested the controls and have what does what down, more or less. If you're wondering how severe things can get with this thing, well...

[Pointed look at Clarisse, dark smile and all.]

I'm sure you guys noticed Clarisse's creation after I showed it to her. That brief but massive storm was hers.

[There was no way he was getting through this without @ing her.]

[snideper]

[delighted, barely-restrained snickering from the counter she's sitting on like a fucking animal. please don't get her started again]

[monstrology]

[He's this close to flicking ice cream at her.]

[snideper]

[if you don't think she will ruin this entire meeting by starting a food fight with the ice cream right here right now you are SORELY MISTAKEN]

[linearcrash]

[ Throw the ice cream. Nine is down for sticky food fights ]

[monstrology]

[He's not making a critical mistake with Clarisse again.

HE'S LEARNED HIS LESSON.






He'll wait until the meeting's over.]

[snideper]

[r.i.p. the ice cream shop but only after we're all done being responsible and useful as a group]

[linearcrash]

[ He's honestly not surprised by the second... but the first. ]

Whoa! We can control the weather here? What the hell?

[monstrology]

My thoughts exactly! It's very strange. That's not even something most people can do with magic!

[linearcrash]

Why the hell would anyone need a weather switch, huh? Like if this is all a dim sumulation or whatever the hell, then why inside of the place? Couldn't they control it outside?

[ Nine knows what simulations are at least? Just correct him about the actual word. ]

[doublelammy]

[. . .]

But we are "outside," if you think about it.
