GRAVEYARD
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.

Re: Hotel
This is someone else entirely. ]
Huh? [ Give him a moment to even realize what was even said ] Yeah, yeah you can. What the hell is even going on?
no subject
Can you remember anything from the last two weeks?
[Nagisa keeps an eye to the older guy's tells, too. Information isn't just shared verbally. He notes the rise and fall of his expression.]
no subject
I've been here. Who the hell are you anyways? I don't think I remember seeing you around.
no subject
[So they're kind of looking at the same issue from two different sides.]
My name is Nagisa Shiota. [Hmm...] If you've been here, then have you met Kinomoto-san, Orion-san, or Wayne-san? They're the only ones from the book that I recognized.
no subject
[ Buuut wait. The other names click in, particularly Wayne's and whatever fight he was preparing for dies promptly as he puts it together. ]
Wait. You were with them from before.
no subject
I'm not-- [Oh good, he does know them.] Yeah. For four days. So Sergeant-san is still at it...
no subject
Also Nine is dumb ]
Huh. Wait... this is some kind of alternate hotel or something?
no subject
I don't know. I just woke up in the lobby. The guestbook is different, and I haven't seen anyone else yet.
no subject
[ He'll give the kid one more look over before heading to the guest book to check it out. It looks the same for him.
So it was different for Sakura's group before? ]
What the hell kind of game is he playing now?
no subject
[He's been out to kill the Sergeant - and whatever higher-ups he may have - for a while.]
no subject
Well, that bastard brought us all here. [ A gesture to the hotel ] And then told us we have to kill, but he's letting us have a break, yo. Oh! And he likes property damage?
[ Nine just waves his hand. ]
Whatever, so that creeper had us hand for a week and a half before he started to pull shit. He threatened everyone we knew and had us trash a theater.
no subject
....sounds like we were just a practice run.
[He can imagine the Sergeant threatening Class E. And himself laughing at him for it - actually going after them would be a good way to get dead. He's not going to ask about who died as a result of that motive or who was threatened specifically. Not yet.]
And there was nothing else? Like...those of us who didn't go on his mission had to deal with putting out a major fire.
no subject
Who the hell would think Sakura make a great practice round? Or even keep her in the next one?
[ Mostly at himself. ]
Nothing else. We all woke up in the theater and was told to do the thing or else.
no subject
That's different. As far as I know, those who did what Sergeant-san asked instead of helping with the fire did so completely by choice. And it seemed like they weren't able to recognize one another.
no subject
[ A pause before he waves at the front of his own face. ]
Think he did that weird as hell shadow thing?
[ Also this is confirmation or something that Nine knew who his victim was ]
no subject
All I know is at the trial, Shirogane-san used that task as an alibi, and claimed to have been spray-painting a wall. Wayne-san's response was something like "so that was you?".
Makes me wonder if that's still an option, or if not, why we had it and you didn't.
no subject
[ WHO KNOWS. ]
no subject
[But Nagisa has a cool enough head to have just quietly begun plotting the man's murder instead. "And you to never find out", huh? He's pretty sure he set him on alert....but we'll see about 'never'.]
