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.

[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.]

[ Poor Will... ]

...Giant robots? What the hell?

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

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.]

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

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

As a matter of fact, I am!

[He won't even say anything about the "weird" part.]

I've dedicated a large part of my time to learning everything I possibly can about them.

You have giant robots, too?!

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

[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.

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.

I believe the giant robots of this island are called Gigantes. There are smaller, human-sized units called Robomi as well.

[But yeah, he doesn't seem very concerned about the details. It's all crazy tech to him.]

I'm surprised it hadn't come to that yet. They seem like potent weapons, and humans sure love fighting among each other.

[The mention of the Robomi seems to shake Millium a little, as she pauses and looks down at herself.

...Mm, no. Not quite. But ~~Olympia~~ Olammia, maybe...]

Yeah, they sure do. Made the Civil War a heck of a lot harder to deal with, that's for sure. Doesn't help when you've only got one Divine Knight and tanks that weren't prepped for this sorta thing while the enemy's got their own Divine Knight and all the Soldats...

[PEERS]

That is similar to my origin.

[Well, that definitely has his attention.]

Were you created to combat creatures as well, then?

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

[ Uh. Is she still naked ]

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

[ Go get some clothes, murder roomba. Though this is also Nine's first time see this cause they can't see what happens at the trial. ]

Whoa. Is that what the hell you were hiding?

I was highly misleading about many things.

[Although apparently her tendency to give weirdly unhelpful answers was 100% genuine.]

Yeah, I mean, you look pretty normal and all, and then you killed Millium.

Millium is far from the only person I have killed.

Hey, nothing wrong with killing people. Just thought you guys were friendly or something.

[ Also that's Millium and you don't kill baby sis ]

We were.

[Yes, several people have gone out of their way to familiarize her with this information.]

[ But she has to hear it a bunch of times over. ]

So, what the hell are you planning on doing to make things better?

[This, too, is well-established by now.]

Whatever she says.

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

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