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.

Aprile 20th- Trial Day

[linearcrash]

[ Nine has been counting the newspapers and knows it's trial day. He'll head for the courtroom to find out what is even going on.

And then he sees the photos up on the podiums. The ones with black clothes draped over them. ]

Bakky? What the hell?!

[ Who the hell took him down? ]

[detegoergosum]

[ From behind (and depending how tall he is, probably below) him: ]

I suspect that's what we're here to find out.

[ Hi, I don't believe we've met. ]

[linearcrash]

[ He's like 6'1, but he slouches. ]

Yeah, but it's Bakky, you know the hot guy. He can make explosions with his hands.

[ Give him a moment to actually believe someone could take him out.

Wait. Then it hits him that this is someone different. ]

Huh? Where did you come from?

[detegoergosum]

[ If hotness was something she thought about literally ever, she would strongly question your taste right now. Fortunately, she is nothing if not professional. And also about five foot two with newspapers in her shoes. ]

The same place you did. [ She's been here the whole time, just, y'know, keeping herself to herself. ]

[linearcrash]

[ WOW. It's MOSTLY because he's hot-headed. ]

Huh? I don't remember you from before. [ He catches sight of the suspects. Holding up his hand, while shaking his head. ]

Never mind. Doesn't matter, yo.

[ Also something might have the townspeople in a tizzy. ]

WOW. April* Also reacting to strip search

[linearcrash]

[ And now there's a reaction to something happening. ]

Man, I wish they would let us actually see what the hell is going on.

[ Just listening to them making noises about searches or talking about the trial is kind of boring. ]

[ayuzawa]

It is rather odd that they're letting us listen in, but we're unable to see anything.

[linearcrash]

Yeahm and it makes it hard to figure it out who did it. I mean, I guess we'll find out eventually...

[ Buuut he kind of wants to try to follow along. It's Bakugou. ]

aaand later:

[ayuzawa]

[ why is everyone talking about nsfw things now, holy shit ]

T-This is completely unnecessary! Shouldn't they be working to find the murderer?!

[linearcrash]

Hey, it's totally necessary. I mean, someone could have evidence on them, yo.

[ Or you know they just look good? ]

[theserpentsmiles]

Oh, we get to watch. Sort of.

[More like watching part of the crowd than the trial itself, but.]

...That's a lot of podiums in black, though...

[linearcrash]

Huh? Yeah. Mako tried running... Sandy probably did the same, yo.

[ Pointing to the other one. ]

[theserpentsmiles]

I guess it makes sense they'd be punished for trying to escape. ...Think there's anything we can see out there, now that Sergeant-san isn't breathing down our necks?

[...]

The other possibility is that we're looking at a double murder. [The crowd will probably confirm or deny that before too long, but. On the table.]

[linearcrash]

Huh. Maybe. I don't know who could take down that asshole and Bakky at once. It would be hard enough with just Hot Stuff.

[ He wouldn't even know but Sandy over there seems like a hard one, too. ]

I don't know if there will be. We can always try to find out?

[theserpentsmiles]

[”I bet I could" isn't appropriate to say, so he'll leave it at]

People can surprise you.

[Or they took them one at a time, or whatever. They'll find out.]

It's worth investigating. What do we have to lose, right?

[agoreable]

[ Through this whole thing, Lovepon is gnawing at her finger in conflict. ]

An execution... they need to execute the criminal... but if they execute the criminal, they'll end up with us and we'll have to.......

[ Execute them again?? Uh. ]

[linearcrash]

[ Girl what the hell... ]

I didn't think anyone would be more excited than Clarisse about executing someone, yo.

[agoreable]

[ Nine just gets a glare. ]

You're a criminal! You don't get a say in this.

[linearcrash]

Hey, I don't give a shit if you want to execute me, yo. You just seem thirsty for it. What the hell is your deal, anyways?

[ BESIDES THE WHOLE someone played scatter her parts all over ]

[agoreable]

It's completely normal to want to live in a safe community without crime and tragedy!

[ And she does not have the necessary self-reflection skill to understand that her way of going about this is not nearly as normal. ]

[theserpentsmiles]

...Um, Lovepon-san...

[He. He isn't even sure what he wants to say to her. He's pretty sure she was planning to kill Mira??? Like maybe not, he hasn't asked, but if she was then she's....really a pot looking at a kettle....]

Two things. First of all - we should find out why it happened, before you judge them for it. ['You', because Nagisa won't be judging.] It's possible they had a good reason.

Second - and I guess you'd have no way to know, under the circumstances - Sergeant-san won't stop them from executing the wrong person. Whoever joins us might be entirely innocent.

[agoreable]

That also wouldn't be good, yes...

[ At least she is willing to concede this point. Even if she'd much rather live alongside another innocent person than a killer, the innocent would have to die first and that's... not acceptable either. ]

I don't think there is a good reason for murder though.

[ Executions are totally different. ]

[theserpentsmiles]

Execution counts, Lovepon-san. [Calling you out.]

That aside.... Mercy-kills, self-defense, assisted suicide, accidents....I think those would all count, as murder, too. Sergeant-san doesn't seem like he'd be interested in distinctions. And even without those possibilities, whatever Sergeant-san used against them might make it understandable. [He doesn't say 'forgivable'.] Nine-san said he threatened people they cared about.

[linearcrash]

Is it Lovepon or Lovecon? Lovebon?

[theserpentsmiles]

It's Lovepon. [It's a really weird name.] ...-san is an honorific, it's functionally similar to 'mister' or 'miss'.
