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.

[Millium's been in and out throughout the trial, expression oddly blank given who's up there. There's been nothing to do or say but listen, after all. And when it gets to be too much, here, she can just make her way out, at least.

It's not that she doesn't care. Far from. It's that there's simply nothing she can do.

She happens to be in again when the murmurs start up. And at first, all she can think is "Welp. Called it." But then there's Cian and... oh. Oh. Well, there's the most feeling she's had in her heart since she saw the photographs up there at the trial's start.

She goes and sits beside Cian, snuggled right up close beside her as she wraps her arms around her as best as she can.

She says nothing. There is nothing to say. But she has this.]

[ I'm sorry, Millium.

That's the first thought she has when she feels the comfort around her. She swallows it. It's a meaningless apology for feelings that she still has, that she cannot change so easily.

Millium has hated Dabi from the start and Cian can't blame her for it, especially not now... Millium was right, likely objectively, and Cian still can't share her feelings. Apologies don't cut it for this.

Millium likely knows this, too, and she's still here. There are other words for this, better words. ]

... thank you...

[She's not looking for an apology or an affirmation from Cian.

It's fine. Millium's drawn her own conclusions, just as Cian has. Millium certainly thinks Cian's are the wrong conclusions, but it is what it is.

Cian is hurting, and Cian hasn't done anything at all to deserve it. That's what matters, here. Millium knows that ache in one's chest that comes from betrayal – thanks, Nine and Olympia – and she'd never wish it on Cian, no matter how wrong Cian may be.

She shakes her head a little, which has the double effect of basically nuzzling her.]

You don't gotta thank me. ...I know it's hard.

We'll just have to give 'em hell when we see 'em. Okay?
