[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.

[ How dare you see through his game. Luckily he can just take the question here. ]

...call what?

turn back now Dabi

[linearcrash]

[ Hey, he's curious about the shit he heard from the town watching the trial. ]

You know, your sleepovers with him.

too late

[amburere]

[ Fortunately, this actually isn't the most unwelcome subject. Dabi's not shy, and as long as talk of actual feelings aren't involved he can manage just fine. ]

Didn't know we were in high school.

[linearcrash]

[ What the hell is a high school ]

You're forgetting who you're talking to.

[ The way he says it, it's like he's proud that he's at that level? ]

It would be weird if you called it the League, but I guess that's a good cover, yo.

[ Though imagining Dabi going League meeting wink wink is kind of funny on it's own. ]

[amburere]

[ Nine, Nine please. ]

...cover? He's basically part of the League now. [ Dabi won't step over into Shigaraki's territory, even though he pretty much just did. ] That's got nothin' to do with us sleeping together. Even if he likes to forget I'm still his boss.

[linearcrash]

[ Cover or just like bedroom nickname? Who knows... but at least this makes it clear that he's talking about the villain group instead of nightly activities. Dabi's coolness has been restored? ]

So, you're saying that he likes trying to call the shots, huh?

[ OKAY SO NOW there's a shit eating grin there. ]

[amburere]

Trying. [ That's fine, he has one to match it. ] He wasn't really lying about the missing feathers, y'know.

[linearcrash]

You know, there's better ways to mark someone, yo.

[ It sounded like he was doing some molting, and Nine has seen chocobos molt. It's not flattering. But since the trial was kind of brought up, Nine remembers that thing that stood out while the town was rabbling. ]

You know, he made it sound like he was afraid to lose you with that motive.

[amburere]

[ If Nine wasn't a teenager, his answer would be something completely different. Instead he settles for an amused "hnn". As awkward as that might have been, he sorely wishes that he had made some type of interjection if it meant they could have avoided this topic.

They haven't had the most time to discuss it, but it's not as fresh as it was so Dabi mostly manages to keep his expression neutral. ]

And?

[linearcrash]

There ain't no ands about it, yo. I think it's cool he can say all of that, you know?

[ WELL SOME OF IT WAS COOL. but look Dabi has someone to keep things interesting so that's a plus? ]

[amburere]

Oh yeah, we're gonna be all over the tabloids. Number two hero and number two villain make for a number one romance!

[ .......he is not serious at all. But how else is he supposed to deal with any of this. Snark has never let him down before. ]

[linearcrash]

[ Snort. ]

Hopefully they captured your good side, yo.

[amburere]

[ Normally he'd just continue the banter, false bravado or not. But when it comes to shit like this, he still doesn't know north from south. And he doesn't want to know, at least right now.

He mutters something involving "notoriety" before deciding he should just change the subject. ]

Shut up. What about here? You get the same papers we did on the other side?

[linearcrash]

[ Nine is now used to being told to shut up or something along those lines. ]

Yeah, we do. It's the only way to find out what the hell happens in the other town. That and trials, yo.

[amburere]

[ Ty bakugou ig. ]

Nice, so you guys know all about Gant being a robot and Hawks' temporary celebrity status. [ Well he tried to change the subject for a few seconds, smh. ]

[linearcrash]

Yeah, though I guess I could have seen that coming. I mean, have you seen his hair?

[ Nine points to his own hair for emphasize. Old dude rocking the lightning hair doesn't seem legit. He has a moment to try to figure which moment of fame. ]

You mean when they thought he ganked the casino lights?

[amburere]

He's a waterproof model, loves to go swimming. [ And saved a teddy bear, what a good robot. He shakes his head at the second question, he had almost forgotten about that headline. ]

The whole hostage thing. Might've been nice to deal with the angry mob myself, though. It's been a while.

[linearcrash]

Would have been a whole hell lot more easier, yo.

[ Yeah, Nine is totally thinking that Dabi dealing with them in his own way could be easier. ]

What the hell was even the deal with that? Did Sarge frame the others with kidnapping?

[amburere]

Would've. Shame it would've made things too obvious with our weekend plans. [ Which is the main reason why he didn't do anything, actually. ]

Yeah. He just likes to stir shit. Way too heavy handed 'bout it, though.

[linearcrash]

How long were you guys planning for that anyways?

[ Also interesting choice for date outings apparently. ]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he controls the people. Brainwashes them or something. I don't think they even live in their own freaking homes here.

[ ITS WEIRD, Dab Master ]

[amburere]

Tuesday, why?

[ He might have more to say about the brainwashing bit after. ]

[linearcrash]

No real reason. Was curious if it was immediately or not.

[ He's kind of split between thinking it's kind of cool to stick to your guns that long and also just whoa that was quick. ]

Hey, there anything you'd like to know? About all the shit on this side?

[amburere]

The bluebird doesn't like goin' slow.

[ But then neither does Dabi. ]

...duck. [ Hopefully Nine complies, because Dabi is going to try to shoot a jet of fire from his left hand. Unfortunately, his quirk still isn't acting right here, so the most Nine will get is a minor singing if he wasn't fast enough. And yes, this is his first priority on this side, and testing out on Nine is easier than straight up asking. ]
