GRAVEYARD

[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.

Thursday evening

[cartesio]

[ Are you in a romantic mood tonight? Then you might enjoy the soft tunes of Presley's Now Or Never sounding out from the records store.

Once you go inside to check out who's playing such a classic, you'll find the whole place is empty despite all lights being turned on. Well, isn't that familiar? ]

[silvertongueheir]

...music again? [Still, let's go in and see what's active right now.]

[cartesio]

[ This particular song is coming from a cassette player in the back of the store, but that is by far not the only electronic device around. ]

[silvertongueheir]

[Hopefully that's good. What else do we have?]

[linearcrash]

[ S'up Franny. ]

Do you know how to use one of these?

[ What other electronics are there? ]

[linearcrash]

[ Niner Niner is here. Just going to see where the song is coming from and keep certain people from kicking it first. ]

[cartesio]

[ He seems to have an investigation buddy for that! ]

[theserpentsmiles]

[Right on schedule. Music again... Hm. They've been getting more and more ability to communicate...

What do we got.]

[cartesio]

[ Old school media time with your buddies, that's what we got! ]

[odasaku]

This is a nice song.

[ he's got a boyfriend so yeah he's in a romantic mood. thanks cartesio ]

[pursuitofdeath]

[Said boyfriend is here to attach himself to you with a smile.]

Feel like dancing~?

[Is he teasing or just being gross?


The answer is both-- but more of the latter. This song is such a mood okay.]

[odasaku]

In front of all these people?

[ oda's not sure if dancing in front of all these people is something they should do, but...

he does wrap an arm behind dazai's back. his now. ]

EVENT END

[cartesio]

Alright, a fun time was had by everyone, but I think it's about time we call it quits.

[Suddenly, like he had always been there, the Sergeant is there, leaning against one of the televisions. He's so casual]

After all, you wouldn't want to say something...careless, do you?

[The lights turn off, and when it all turns on again, everything's back to normal. The Sergeant is still there, though.

Want to say hello, guys?]

[odasaku]

[ BOY HE IS POINTING HIS GUN AT THE SERGEANT ]

[cartesio]

You never change, Sakunosuke Oda.

[silvertongueheir]

[Franciscus stiffens, but glares at the Sergeant anyways.] So were you the one partially blocking our communications?

[cartesio]

Yes. Your communications have been...interesting to watch, but looks like you all have gotten a bit too daring. I think it's about time those end for good.

[kingbomber]

[ Bakugou kind of wonders if this Sergeant is real, a hologram or what, so don't mind him quickly flinging an explosion his way to see what happens ]

[cartesio]

[The explosion flickers in the air before it falls to the floor with a thud, as if the fire got solidified into some sort of weird mass.

You may not want to touch it, it's flickering like crazy]

...why am I not surprised by that reaction.

[linearcrash]

What the hell?! You were blocking us! You bastard!

[ Remember their first meeting? Nine is going to go up to him to get into his face.

Or he was UNTIL Bakugou throws an explosion towards him. That'll get Nine to stop. ]

What the hell do you want?

[cartesio]

I just wanted to say hello. Don't worry, I'll take my leave shortly. I just needed to be here to nip in the bud the mess you're all causing with your messages.

[carbide]

You were censoring our messages.

[Olympia was going to approach but Bakugou is doing his thing and this seems like a bad moment to explode.]

[pursuitofdeath]

[Oh super fuck you.]

[theserpentsmiles]

[The atmosphere in the room changes in an instant. What was focused and casual is now a potent, horrifying bloodlust - there is a deadly killer in this room. A predator who's hidden under the surface until now. Like fangs hovering above your neck, the certainty of deadly danger hangs in the air.

Nagisa's gaze is lazer-focused on the Sergeant, and while his posture hasn't changed at all, everything is different.]

Hello, Sergeant-san.

[He has a knife.]

REAL END

[cartesio]

I was just passing by to say hello, so it's about time I return to the other side. There's a lot bound to happen tonight, you see.

[Because, you know, Thursday night. Someone's going to die, most likely. He stops leaning against the TV]

All the breaches into the other side have been fixed. Now please await the end of next week patiently, and don't worry, I'll get the best lives possible for you all.

Just don't break the town. No town, no existence for you.

[And with that, he disappears out of thin air]
