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.

[ah, no, she's not ignoring the conversation anymore]

Oh, you two are just perfect for each other! Two worthless, idiot failures pretending to be much bigger and better than they are, lying and calling themselves good people and thinking it makes any difference. Watching you morons put on appearances me sick. Fuck you.

[no need to drag her anywhere! she's leaving! there's too many people here. not worth it. the copy machine remains unkicked......]

[ Nine never said he was good. He will disentangle Millium though to put her on Olympia's back? Maybe? ]

Hey, I'll be back, yo.

[ Just going to follow after his fellow child soldier ~~to get stabbed bye guys~~ ]

Wait up.

[cabbit has been applied to roomba. the messaging will continue unless something else interrupts]

[this is her new purpose in life (death?)]

[not breaking her storming-off stride]

Fuck off!

Hey, I'm sorry!

[ Yeah, that's probably what the others can hear while they exit stage left. ]

[she doesn't turn around, but she sure sounds angrier]

Shut up!

[ He'll shut up, but he'll still keep on following. Want to talk or hit him? He's not going to stop her. ]

[She doesn't get a whole lot farther before she whirls around to face him. Time to find out just how loudly she's capable of shouting!!]

I said fuck off! Leave me alone!

[ Sticking his hands in his pockets as stops to look at her. ]

I shouldn't have said that. I wasn't thinking.

Are you ever?

[She scoffs, but it sounds forced. She starts moving to leave again, too, but not enough to turn her back to him while she thinks he'll still follow her.]

Get away from me.

[ He'll actually jog up there to walk beside her. S'up. ]

Hey, sometimes I do. I'm a think tank, yo.

[ No one knows what that means. ]

[immediately scrambling back to put distance between them]

What part of "leave me alone" is so difficult for you?!

[ Does she really want him answering that? ]

You can hit me later. Just walk with me for a bit, yo.

No. I don't care about hitting you, idiot, I just want you gone! Get away from me now!

[if she weren't too Depressed to put in the effort of carrying weapons on her she would have stabbed him like six tags ago and Nine should count himself lucky]

[ He'd just wake up at the hotel and will see about finding her again. ]

You know why I keep trying so hard with communicating to that side?

I don't care why.

[she's...going to try to storm off again......]

To make sure you and the others get another chance.

[ Have fun with that. ]

[shrieking, without breaking stride—]

I don't want one!

[does she ever have fun with anything, though]

Hey, that's fine. If that's what you choose in the end, yo.

[ But he still wants to give her that chance. The choice to write her own ending instead of just following orders like they both were used to. ]

[Will was originally drawn to the library by the lights, but it's Clarisse's shrieking that really catches his attention.]

Hey. What's going on here?

[Does he need to break up a confrontation, or...]

Nothing!

[yelling at the top of her lungs is absolutely going to solve all of her problems forever, or at least she sure sounds like she fucking thinks so at this volume?? she doesn't turn around or quit trying to march off, though...]

[ Nine looks at Will and lifts his hand up to greet him. Nine seems relaxed despite all the yelling.]

It's nothing, yo.

[ He's not going to share that with Will. There's hesitation, as he looks after Clarisse before he just jogs on after her. You have a friend, Clariss~*~*~ Nine is proud. ]

[THIS DOESN'T SEEM LIKE NOTHING???

Taking a few steps after them, Will calls out:]

Is it really nothing, Clarisse?! Do I need to step in?!

[Sorry Nine, he's not as familiar with you so he has to know...]

[Clarisse doesn't actually answer Will because she is too distracted fucking screaming at Nine some more as soon as he starts catching up.]

Get the hell away from me or I'm going to kill you!

[so, that's fine,]
