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.

Yeah. I know enough to just know he'd fucking never.
[ He snorts. ]
Nah...Bolin. I don't know weaponsfreak, or really, 'Keet' all that much, so I don't fucking know with him at all.
no subject
That leaves Keith and Kino. [a pause ]
I don't think Dabi did it. Not without at least taking out an entire building, yo.
[ Unless someone cockblocked the fire. ]
no subject
[ Chiming in from the sidelines here, because she doesn't think Dabi is dumb and that somehow means defending his honor by proclaiming his likelihood of murder? Yeah, sounds about right. ]
no subject
no subject
[ and now for our x100 biased opinion at 11 ]
no subject
Hey, did we hear anything about what the hell the motive was?
[ He's going to move close enough to brush his arm with his own. ]
no subject
[ After Nine does that brush, he makes sure to take the blond's arm within his own and lean against his shoulder. After this moment of pause, Dabi reveals himself. ]
...Wow, what a dick. I was expecting it, but it's actually kind of fucking sad how predictable that was. [ He always thinks it's Dabi whenever he's up there, so ] At least this'll make people stop being idiots over Hawks.
no subject
People are going to be dumb regardless.
[ As evident as Keith still hitting up Hawks with questions about the coat and his mighty wings. ]
1/??
[ ..... ]
Is it really that hard to say 'no I didn't fucking do it'. He's so irritating.
[ Bakugou's hands clench tightly. What's going on...? The townspeople were questioning it too but also it was hard to tell who was convinced of what. ]
2/
...What?!
[ The question asked so quietly that it can barely be heard. ]
3/3
...He's lying. He didn't kill anyone. He wouldn't...he's a hero - the number two Hero. He wanted, more than anyone, to keep people from dying, that's why we went on patrols.
[ That's probably not a good sign for his mental state right now, uhhh. ]
no subject
Come on. Let's get the hell out of here, yo.
no subject
So many thoughts are running through his head that it'd give Deku's thought process a run for his money and he almost doesn't quite hear Nine's words. The point is that he does, but he doesn't register them.
Suddenly, Bakugou pulls away with a look on his face of complete and utter rage. It's nothing like what Nine's ever seen before. Not even Clarisse's shit has made him this angry before.
It almost feels like he's screaming, because he is, and his hands are sparking - no, not just sparking, there are mini explosions as the angry blond finally let's out something that are definitely words. ]
THAT FUCKING TRAITOROUS BASTARD! HE WAS LYING ALL THIS ENTIRE TIME?! THAT ASSHOLE DIDN'T EVEN CARE! FUCK HIM, FUCK THAT FUCKING DIPSHIT I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL HIM AND THAT SHITTY SHITSTAIN OF A VILLAIN ONCE I GET MY FUCKING HANDS ON BOTH OF THEM AND TEAR THEM BOTH TO FUCKING PIECES UNTIL THERE'S NOTHING LEFT!
[ If Nine doesn't stop him he's literally about to hurl an explosion at one of the walls - might be a good idea to try to stop him. Because it's probably Nine who can do anything, even if he didn't quite process the words the first time. ]
no subject
Not now! You're going to save it, right? You can blow their asses up when they get here!
[ Squeezing his shoulders to try to ground him physically. ]
Let's go.
no subject
His red eyes flicker up to meet Nine's and for a moment there seems like there's going to be no agreement, no nothing. But, they die out in pure silence, more because the other blond's so close than anything else, though the squeezing does help ground him. Then there's this 'cuz of course the townspeople are gonna talk about it. ]
The police station. Now.
[ Then, he goes to head out of the courtroom. ]
no subject
Nine's own blue eyes meets his gaze and he holds it for as long as needed. Then it's gone. He doesn't let himself relax just yet. ]
Alright.
[ He will follow after him without any complaint. Giving a glance behind him at Cian for a moment and seeing Millium with her. He'll check on them later. Jogging after Bakugou to the police station. ]
no subject
I trusted him. I thought he cared more about saving people then killing them, but I was wrong the whole time. All this time... he's just been bullshitting. I even let him hold onto something, that was probably worthless now that I think about it.
[ What a joke. What did it mean for hero society, that their no.2 hero was in fact actually a villain? That's not how you change things. Even he knows it (or believes it.) ]
no subject
That's how adults are, yo. They are all selfish as hell and will betray anyone just for their own motives.
note for excessive police station destruction
[ Bakugou was utterly upset. He didn't just admire Hawks, but he actually had the chance to speak to him, to get to know him. Maybe they could've been really good friends. ]
Too bad you have nothing flashy to blow shit up like I do, huh?
[ Looks like they're here. Bakugou begins to throw some explosions right into the police walls, easily blowing right through it, and creating probably a hole with some dedication. ]
Re: note for excessive police station destruction
[ Flashy was more Cater's thing with her magicite pistol. Also Ace with his cards.
Nine grins at the explosions, a lot more comfortable with this. He steps away to let him have space. ]
Besides, I love watching you work anyways.
[ Love is in there so easily and casually. ]
no subject
[ Bugging Eric to help with that too. That said, his heart kind of skips a beat when he says... love, and he even stops for a bit. He's still upset, but the effect is still there nonetheless. ]
You do? How much do you love it?
[ He also kind of motions with his hand for Nine to follow because he's walking right inside of the police station too. He's going to be tossing some explosions at some of the walls and doors once inside. ]
no subject
I like that idea, yo.
[ He would cherish it more than the spear he got from Mother or the one he won from that crazy ass weirdo with all the weapons?
Though Bakugou saying love does cause him to almost stumble. Looking at him dumbly for a moment before he follows after as he indicates. It's that newer feeling again that's stronger than like. ]
A lot. I mean, it's like when you're being cute, but a lot hotter.
no subject
Good.
[ Bakugou blows apart a door in the police station just because he can. He'll also toss some explosions at any cameras he sees. For awhile, he doesn't seem to say much else or anything regarding that comment elaboration, however, and continues the onslaught of explosions, tearing through the hallway even into the cell area. He'll turn to face Nine soon enough, as a bead of sweat slips down his face. ]
Nine, I'll cut straight to the bullshit. It's obvious that I love you, since we're dating, and there's a lot I love about you. Your stupid smile, the fact that you're not always an idiot, and you just fucking care so much - that's not even everything, either.
And you know what? When we get out of here, I want to introduce you to my annoying family.
[ He releases a sigh, thinking over his previous words, he knows he can't take both Hawks and Dabi on at the same time. It was just something useless said in anger and despair. But boy he's going to bitch Hawks out and then just distance himself from him. What a bastard.
At least he said 'I love you' first. He bets Hawks never did that, or anyone else here. No one can beat him and Nine. ]
scree
It's those words coupled with Bakugou facing him that gets everything to fade away for the moment. I love you. It wasn't obvious from him dating. None of that was obvious. Yeah, he knows Bakugou likes him and he can get away with a lot more than anyone else...
I love you.
Nine faces flushes as he looks away. It's the first time someone has said that to him ever. And he wants him to meet his family after this is over. He wants to plan something that's more than just a day away. More than a week away. It's two weeks or whatever length of time they have here.
Stepping closer. ]
Hey, I'm going to kiss you.
[ Yeah, that's pretty much all he can really manage to think to even say at the moment. So romantic or yomantic. He does reach up to cup his face to give him a kiss if he'll let him. ]
:3
Bakugou thought it was obvious and that it was obvious that Nine loved him since they were both dating. Maybe his idea of love was still in the very much pure stage - if two people were dating then clearly they were in love. Or maybe he just thought it's that way for him, so why wouldn't it be anything else than clear?
When Nine gets embarrassed, Bakugou finds himself smirking despite it all. Even as he shoves everything off one of those desks in the police station, probably breaking things. Then, he'll turn so when the other blond's stepping closer to him and saying such words, he's facing him. ]
Yeah?
[ He apparently thinks this sounds romantic, and he does allow Nine to kiss him while he's against the desk. He returns the kiss enthusiastically, however, allowing his hands to wrap around the other's waist, for a moment forgetting the pain and just allowing himself to melt into the affectionate hold of his lover. ]
