GRAVEYARD

[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.

[Wed-Thrus] WE'RE DOING EET

[linearcrash]

[ A plan was hatched on Tuesday to build something to see if it'll transfer over. Materials were gathered, and it all starts on Wednesday.

Let's build Ft. Milliarms and St, Keet Manyweapons. ]

[kingbomber]

[ For some reason, he's here, and he looks ten times more irritated that somehow he's assisting in this madness AT ALL. ]

If anything stupid happens, you're all on your own.

[linearcrash]

[ ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ hey ]

[kingbomber]

[ (ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ ┻━┻

but also... ʸ(-_-)♡⃛♡⃛ ]

[yonosoymaria]

This entire situation aside, you're the best heat source we have. There's no one else who can... who can melt the arms -

[Please give him a minute to get his serious business face back on, that phrase is somehow inherently absurdist comedy, and it's the last straw. King Laugh is a motherfucker who shows up at the worst times, to badly paraphrase one Professor A. Van Helsing.]

[kingbomber]

Unfuckingbelievable...

[ It really is completely and utterly absurd. Bakugou sighs. ]

Whatever, it's true. You'd all be hopeless without me.

[ He still can't believe he's doing this!! ]

[yonosoymaria]

[Your name will be remembered like that of Marcel Duchamp, Bakugou. THIS... IS ART....]

The movement we'll have joined with this... object has called itself a shrieking against hopelessness, but I suppose I'm obviously missing your point. I know you're capable of precise aim, even if it's less... fun.

[integratedsoul]

... are we really sure we shouldn't be using different materials? Or... build something else?

[ WHY IS ANY OF THIS HAPPENING. Cian is down to help if this is the consensus we have somehow reached but... why... ]

[yonosoymaria]

I wasn't sure anything made of wood and cloth and wax would carry over, and... the clockwork girl seems not to mind.

[He still feels bad about scaring you way back on day one, Cian. At least it's harder to seem threatening when he's carrying a large stock pot full of... a blanket and many candles?]

[integratedsoul]

[ Don't worry too much, Eric, Cian's giving you a relaxed smile now. Fear time is over. ]

Yes, luckily she doesn't feel pain like we do...

Oh, should I help you with those, uh, candles?

[carbide]

[Olympia's doing most of her repeated self-destructing over by the motel so she has a shorter walk, but every so often she comes out to where people are working to deliver a load of her arms.

She's really nonchalant about this stupidity.]

[integratedsoul]

[ Cian's just going to check in on her at some point, because uhm... ]

Are you sure you're okay with this? Do you have any kind of pain reaction programmed in?

[carbide]

[Cian Is Too Nice. Olympia's honestly a little confused. When she woke up here she really did not expect "people who hate her and want her to suffer" and "people she killed" to be non-overlapping groups.]

I have a mechanism for detecting damage, analogous to a sense of pain, but no part of this process causes it to respond.

[integratedsoul]

[ Cian has accepted death and she's ready to move on. Or... something. Olympia is just really difficult to hate for her. ]

That's a relief. Death for humans is... pretty unpleasant, so this plan seemed a bit macabre to me.

[carbide]

[>implying anyone is easy for cian to hate]

It was not a pleasant experience for me, either, but this is a different situation.

[integratedsoul]

Because it means even less than the last one did, right?

[ There's nothing existential about providing a ton of arms. It's just plain weird. ]
