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.

Monday investigation

[kingbomber]

[ Bakugou heads over to the firestation, because he's prepared to do some more investigation. If he's got it right, the more information they can pass to the living, the better. Best part is he's kind of invisible to people inside and such.

So, first things first. Is the hole he made still there? ]

[cartesio]

[ It's there, but it's no longer open.

The people of Cartesio haven't had enough time yet to actually rebuild the wall properly, but the entire hole has been covered with wood planks to avoid having an extra entrance.

You could probably break through easily - or just take the front door. ]

[kingbomber]

[ He thinks real hard about breaking through it, but decides that since Dabi cut the tires it'd be good to give these guys a break - no guarantees on what comes after, though. He'll take the front door for ONCE in his life (lodge does not count) and head deeper into the place. Any doors or entrances of interest for him to walk in/break into? ]

[cartesio]

[ Most of the place is simply full of firefighting equipment. Looking it over doesn't reveal anything of interest, unless Bakugou's planning for a career change.

However, progressing through the garage leads him to another door. It's unlocked. Inside is the camera surveillance control and the responding monitors. ]

[kingbomber]

[ Cool ...

Now he kind of stands around like 'okay what now' before getting his ass into gear. So, if he nears the surveillance, is he going to see anything around in here that's on or is it off from shenanigary weeks ago? ]

[cartesio]

[ The control console for the surveillance system continues to be absolutely wrecked, it's true.

However, one of the monitor screens doesn't seem to have gotten the memo. Currently it shows a whole lot of flickering noise. ]

[kingbomber]

[ ...Flickering noise? If he takes a closer examination of that flickering, is he able to see anything going on from there even with all that interference? ]

[cartesio]

[ It's very straining on the eyes to try and make out something distinct among all the noise pollution, but it's doable.

What Bakugou sees isn't any place in Cartesio, it isn't even a place to start with. There's a text behind the noise. It's fully unreadable like this, but maybe there's a way to make the image clear up...? ]

[kingbomber]

[ Uh

Hopefully but he's never worked with surveillance cameras. So he looks down at some of the options and start pushing any available buttons. ]

[cartesio]

[ Most of the buttons do nothing, having been affected by the general destruction, but the movement generated by pushing them seems to reconnect a slack joint at least partially and the image clears up a bit.

On closer inspection the text appears to be... code? ]

[kingbomber]

[ Weird.

What kind of code or numbers is he looking at now? ]

[cartesio]

[ The code is largely unreadable to someone unfamiliar with it. A lot of it is made up of shorthand acronyms and numbers, but it sticks out that r.schw is mentioned a lot. Other recognizable terms are clip, default and align.

The code blinks a few times and then runs off the screen which returns to static briefly before turning off entirely. ]

[kingbomber]

[ Good thing HE HAS A GOOD MEMORY and he's a smart cookie ... so he'll be writing what he saw down as soon as he gets the chance, but most importantly bold the important things . . .

Anyway, he'll then look around the room once more, resisting the urge just barely to blow something up. Anything else important in here or was that all? ]

[cartesio]

[ That's all!
