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.

[ THE HELL ARE THESE.

What newspaper clippings are there? ]

[ A page with three articles is booted up on both readers.

Currently it is zoomed in on the start of the first article, so proper reading may require some shifting around. ]

[ Alright. Let's shift them around and read them. At least.. it's zoomed in so he doesn't have to pull things out to read... ]

Huh. It's just boring as hell articles, yo.

[Olympia is reading over his shoulder. She's heard the word "rude" before but she doesn't see why she should care about it.]

The second one seems to be very old.

[Millium is peering, too. ...She may have had to squirrel her way up Nine's back in order to do this.]

...And now she can't make pie at all anymore...

[ Go for it, he'll reach around to keep her there. ]

[ Before you can get too sad about the diner lady, the focus changes. The phrase I'll take that as a good sign from the second article is now the center of the screen. ]

[ Nine is going to focus on the Yo in the word New York ]

[ Before Millium takes the wheel, Nine gets the wh from 'when they do' and the o after.

Then Millium grabs the machine and basically answers by accident. ]

[ Nine will let her put in Mily Here then he'll zoom in on the 9. Fran seems to be covering that, too.

So he'll look up at his back critter and then start zooming in on create, a d and town ]

[Millium leans over Nine to move the article around. If this results in her toppling the two of them over into the machine, so be it, she's excited.

She zooms in on the mily in "Family" from the second article, before panning up to the Here in the title of the first.]

[ The screen zooms over to the word beloved and then to the wh and y from 'when they' respectively. ]

[ S'up naked murder roomba. Nine is just going to shrug off his blazer to put it on her shoulders. ]

Hey, you should at least put something on, yo. Weren't you always wearing something?

[ Did the robo shame get burnt away with her outfit? ]

[~~>implying olympia has ever had shame~~

This is new. Nobody's dressed her before.]

Everyone here is already aware of my nature.

[ He does the top clasp to it, but not the rest. It's probably huge on her anyways. ]

Huh? Was that the only reason you kept it hidden? That people didn't know?

My nature would have been difficult to explain to people from Armoroad, and would have caused me to come under suspicion.

[Which would have been bad for her. She had a lot to be suspected of.]

I found it simplified things here as well.

[ That just seems dumb. But yeeeeah he's still leaving the jacket on her. ]

Don't you get cold or something?

[ This is why he couldn't kill her like Bakky did. He's a soft and Olympia has that face. It's weird as hell shes a robo but... yeah. She's a kid ]

Perhaps they can see what words we focus on.

Can we write on it?

I suppose we do have a spare machine. [He checks the microfiche itself. Is there any blank space they could write on?] How small can you write?

[ he shrugs ]

I think I could fit a “hello”.

[ You could fit a hello, but that would ruin the microfiche for sure. The print on it is incredibly tiny after all. ]

It probably wouldn't be worth it. Unless you think Dazai needs to see your handwriting in particular to confirm you're here.

[ Let's zoom in on the HI in the word machine ]

I... gasoline expands with heat? Enough to overflow sealed tanks?
