[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.

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]

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]

[ 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.

[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.

[ 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]

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.]
