GRAVEYARD



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.

[ 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. ]

[ Girl what the hell... ]

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

[ Nine just gets a glare. ]

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

[personal profile] linearcrash 2018-10-20 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
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: (04. pout)

[personal profile] agoreable 2018-10-20 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
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. ]

[personal profile] linearcrash 2018-10-20 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
The hell? Does such a thing even exist?

[ Sounds fake, Lovebon ]
agoreable: (13. considering)

[personal profile] agoreable 2018-10-20 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
It has to. And if it does, it has to be made. Starting over somewhere new, making a place that is safe from the start... That's what we were going to do before I ended up here.

[ And if Cartesio could have been that place for Lovepon, she'd have been fine with staying forever as well... sadly, Cartesio is just scary though. ]

I guess it's a nice dream. I just...don't get it, yo.

[ He really can't. ]
agoreable: (13. considering)

[personal profile] agoreable 2018-10-20 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe killers can't imagine it, but I just want to go there. I want to be safe.

[personal profile] linearcrash 2018-10-20 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
You make it sound like that's all I do, yo.

[ Which is... well... ??? kinda true ]

It's not as easy as that.
agoreable: (08. arguing)

[personal profile] agoreable 2018-10-21 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it not?

[ The question still manages to sound like an accusation, but she's at least willing to listen for a second or two. ]
theserpentsmiles: (Because I've had enough)

[personal profile] theserpentsmiles 2018-10-20 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
...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: (04. pout)

[personal profile] agoreable 2018-10-20 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
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: (It takes more than meets the eye)

[personal profile] theserpentsmiles 2018-10-20 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
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.
agoreable: (02. questioning)

[personal profile] agoreable 2018-10-20 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Nngh....

[ That's the strained sound of a 15-year-old girl being forced into thoughts she would much rather avoid. ]

Self-defense is just an improvised execution. [ ....... by this logic Mira was right to kill her, but Lovepon's not too great on the logical consistency. ] And the others aren't really...

Do you actually think any of that applies to the death in this trial anyway?
theserpentsmiles: (Set this pain up in flames)

[personal profile] theserpentsmiles 2018-10-20 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Defining murder as "one person killing another", all of those count. [He won't call her out on attacking Mira yet, he can see the distress in her wavelength and she's....like this....enough that he figures he'll have to take it slow on this stuff.]

I don't know yet, it's not like I have the evidence in front of me. But it's all stuff you have to consider before judging someone.
agoreable: (04. pout)

[personal profile] agoreable 2018-10-21 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Taking it slow is a good bet, it's probably the only way to avoid Lovepon completely shutting down on the idea of critical thinking. ]

Being too hesitant in judging someone may result in your death. You have to be faster than evil. Prevent it before it can happen.
theserpentsmiles: (You can't keep us down forever)

[personal profile] theserpentsmiles 2018-10-21 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Baby steps. No one changes overnight without something really drastic.]

But being too quick to judge could result in you killing someone who doesn't really deserve it. For example... Someone important to me caused an accident that resulted in someone else's death. That person's sister only saw the last few moments, concluded he'd killed that person, and swore revenge without knowing it was an accident.

Something like that. It would be nice if the world were as simple as "good" and "evil", though.

[personal profile] agoreable 2018-10-24 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's... complex. Lovepon chews on her lip in agitation. She's trying to listen to this properly, but it's hard for her. She's warped herself around execution fantasies so much that it's difficult to understand how she should even function without them. ]

Even so... that person would not have died if it wasn't for your important person... That's... they're still at fault...
theserpentsmiles: (This war we're fighting is not rotting)

[personal profile] theserpentsmiles 2018-10-29 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
That's true. He never pretended not to be. But should he really be executed for an accident that killed someone he loved?

[At least Korosensei can be with Yukimura-sensei now. He's pretty sure if Lovepon knew the full story, she'd be more than okay with Korosensei getting executed for anything, but that's not the point right now.]

Is it Lovepon or Lovecon? Lovebon?
theserpentsmiles: (Let's mark this down as the day)

[personal profile] theserpentsmiles 2018-10-20 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
It's Lovepon. [It's a really weird name.] ...-san is an honorific, it's functionally similar to 'mister' or 'miss'.
linearcrash: <user name="Linearcrash"> (9)

[personal profile] linearcrash 2018-10-20 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. No wonder she's so weird, yo.
theserpentsmiles: (I'd have to reassure myself that)

[personal profile] theserpentsmiles 2018-10-21 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
She's...like this... [Why this.]
linearcrash: <user name="Linearcrash"> (3)

[personal profile] linearcrash 2018-10-21 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I don't even know if I want to know what is going on in there.
