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.

Christ. I suppose that saves the rest of us the trouble, we should be thankful, but....

[He's aiming for bitchy arch and flippant and all that's coming through is weariness and nausea.]

[linearcrash]

[ He knows he started it, but he doesn't like that tone, dude. Or at least not when it's about something Bakugou has done. ]

Hey, it's done with already.

[ Huff. Yeah, Nine is dumb. ]

[yonosoymaria]

That's true... there's no point living in the past in a place like this.

[The conclusion he jumped to wasn't so much "round two, fight" as "separate actions resulting in death", but he's naturally not saying so. And there's a definite lack of response in kind to the bristling Nine's doing.]

[linearcrash]

[ Nine is dumb and gets all bristly over anything sounding like it's talking bad about Bakugou. Sorry. ]

Yeah, we just gotta keep moving on, yo.

[yonosoymaria]

[Oh, it's fine. He's the same exact way about John, but that hasn't come up here... a pity these two likely won't ever give this narration voice, isn't it.]

Onward and upward, yes?

[snideper]

[draw your own fuckin conclusions about how that fight went because clarisse isn't saying shit BUT ALSO: WHY DO YOU EXPECT ANY DIFFERENT FROM HER, ERIC, WHEN WILL YOU LEARN]

[yonosoymaria]

[LIKELY NEVER TBH? Because he didn't even consider a rematch being the cause... he's standing at the intersection of "absurd fondness for someone made of kill" and "well-intentioned early 20th century paternal-ish sexism" and has no clue where to go from here.

So there might be a blatantly worried look shot her way, yes.]

[snideper]

[by now she's probably too busy getting into that completely unnecessary fight with bakugou downthread to notice that worry so like good fucking luck, eric]

[yonosoymaria]

[IF HE WERE FIFTY HE'D KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS unfortunately he's not yet hit the proper age for Dead Mentor status.

So just... DISMAY. DISMAY DISMAY DISMAY, AND NO CLOSE-QUARTERS COMBAT SKILLS TO USE TO BREAK ANYTHING UP....]
