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.

[ In response, the zoom goes to the second article and first focuses on the word good and then on the start of the word management. ]

[silvertongueheir]

[...is that meant to be a statement or a question? He'll just turn to actually giving them information.]

I'm going to let them know about the weather control machine.

["Weather" from the first article, "machine" from the third article, "J" from "Johnson" in the first article, "un" from "unmixed" in the first article, and "k" from "work" in the first article.]

[cartesio]

[ The response the the words serious hazard lingering on the screen for a bit, followed by the sar from 'necessary' and the word coming. ]

[silvertongueheir]

[Okay. Zoom in on the "When" from the first article, then zoom in further to "wh" and tag it with the "at" from "that."]

They say "serious hazards are coming," I believe.

[cartesio]

[ The first answer that comes in is the conf from 'confidence', u from 'put', se from 'secret' and d from 'wonder'.

Then however, a rapidfire series of movements connects to the phrase: he complained you said thing to us. ]

[silvertongueheir]

[Oh, fuck.] Wait, no. Sar...sarge coming? Apparently he knows about the communications!

[Simply complained? No from "now," ac from "accordingly," t from anywhere basically]

[cartesio]

[ There is no question mark in the texts. Does Franciscus want to send the same message without one? ]

[silvertongueheir]

[Oh, yeah, he'll do that.]

[cartesio]

[ Franciscus is going to need a lot of patience (and maybe a notepad) to decipher the next reply, because it comes in letter by letter. When combined it reads:

Promised to deal with problem. Stay sharp. Explain damage transfer and Lodge interior. ]

[silvertongueheir]

[He mostly just lists then down in his head before repeating it.]

Promised to deal with problem. Stay sharp. Explain damage transfer and Lodge interior.

[Alright. He'll do his best to copy the letter-by-letter bit. Lodge interior all black. Bigger on inside. Walking time feels less than actual length. Any of you check lodge. And pause so they can hopefully write that down.]

[kingbomber]

[ Actually - ]

Let me do the next response. This is taking too fucking long.

whoops icon fail on last tag

[silvertongueheir]

[He'll nod and make space for Bakugou.]

[kingbomber]

[ He'll just reach over to start messing with it himself. He hones in on the first "f" in the first article, followed by uck in trucks and ing in Blessing. Next, he'll hone in on the bl in blessing. Then, onto the Second article in which he chooses ac in Accordingly and then k in Takes, as well as in from diner. Following that, d from provide, and then ee from fees, and p from support. Following that there's si from sign, and de in made.

For the final stretch, lo from overflowing in the first article, and then d from would, followed by ge from alleged in the third article.

Then he places and from the exact word in second article, followed by made also in the second article, exact word. Afterwards, the first it from the first article, then expl from explained, followed by ode from rodeo.

So, 'Fucking black deep inside lodge and made it explode' ]

[cartesio]

[ This gets back inside wasnt black. found abandoned reception area. old. didnt get far spelled out letter by letter painstakingly. ]

[kingbomber]

[ Bakugou looks irritated, but turns his head back over to Fran at that. ]

They said something like that...? Tch.

[ The end of May is coming upon them and still...his hands clench. Was he being delusional? Maybe...

Either way, it'd make sense that their time was running short. But he doesn't like the sound of it, as it sounds like to him something troublesome might appear. He not going to bother with it, so he'll just glare at the red head as he's messing around with the machine, waiting for him to continue and such. ]

[silvertongueheir]

Yes. I'm asking if they've seen any proof of him actually doing something other than complaining about it.

[kingbomber]

...Probably not much, if anything. But worth a shot.

But even if there's nothing, doesn't mean that Sergeant Bastard isn't going to do anything.

[ ... ]

At some point, ask if anyone checked out the lodge. I did some damage so something's got to have appeared on the other side.
