[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.

Yeah. But looks like everyone here's in some kind of limbo, so you'll be seeing the others too.

[ ... ]

You gonna lower your gun or not, asshole?

[streetwolf]

[He pauses for a moment then his arm drops, falling limp at his side.]

Limbo? What? You mean some kinda afterlife or some shit? [He stops for a moment, scowling, gritting his teeth.] That pigeon fucker actually did it. I shoulda just threw the bottle at him...

[kingbomber]

[ He doesn't answer to that since the guy figured out it's the afterlife, but immediately: ]

You mean Hawks, don't you?

[ He'll scowl. Not because of the other man's term, but because of Hawks' everything and the announcement that he's a traitor in front of everyone just like that...obviously it's at this point in time in this thread where Bakugou hasn't exactly gotten more of an answer on that yet. Not that he's pleased about it when Hawks does reveal more on said conversation, but you know. ]

Bastard lied about everything. [ ... ] But whatever, enough of that asshole. If you care, I could bring you up to speed on how it is on this side.

[streetwolf]

[There's a sigh or a growl, it's hard to tell. But he brings a hand up to scratch his head.]

...Yeah. Yeah, that'd be good. I'm not sure what the fucks going on anyway.

[He guesses he's dead now?]

[kingbomber]

We think we're in some kind of simulation and you can kill someone again but they come back alive. Heavy damage carries over easily but it doesn't happen immediately. We're able to communicate with the other side on mostly Thurdays moreso than usual and the townspeople can't see us or know we're there. But we can still get further into the buildings like we did when we were alive.

That's the basic rundown and I'm not repeating myself. Got it?

[streetwolf]

[You lost him at simulation. But he nods at the rest.]

I think I got it...What a simulation? Is it more of that weird magic bullshit people kept throwing around?

[kingbomber]

[ This is the second person he's met who doesn't know what a simulation is and it is still throwing him. ]

Not even close. You know what a computer is?

[streetwolf]

...No damn clue.

[1940s!]

[kingbomber]

...what the hell, what're you from, the fucking stone age?

[ Wow Wayne you're from a real long time ago. OK not as long as he COULD be but still. ]
