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.

Hey it worked!

[ HI KEET. ]

Oh? Yeah, go ahead.

[ Going to load the tape back in and record. His attention moving over to someone else for a moment to smile before back to her. ]

Go ahead, yo. I think Bakugou brought paper.

[ Any other messages guys? ]

Maybe we should tell them we can't hear them, it looks like he's trying to talk...

[He'll. Write that out for the camera.]

[ Keith's mission is to just yell at things. It's okay. ]

[He is the patron saint of yelling.]

[Olympia steps over next to him and puts her hands over her ears, in case they need a visual aid.

~~What happens to her giant-ass head spikes when she does this? The same thing that happens when she wears her earmuffs, presumably.~~]

Ah, I don't need paper, it's just a short thing. Thank you, Nine-kun.

[ And once the camera is pointing to her, she bows. Deeply. Very, very, deeply.

I'm sorry, Keith.

That's all she needs to say. ]

[ OKAY. Getting that and Nagisa writing out they can't hear them. Time to pop that into the vhs. ]

[ Hey look, there is a reply video!

There's Keith and he's doing a number of gestures: 1. Pointing at himself, 2. Pointing at his ear. 3. Crossing his arms to make a giant X. 4. Miming writing words on a piece of paper and holding it out for the camera. 5. Another X with his arms.]

[ ??? ]

Does anyone speak Keith?

[ He probably wants them to write something? ]

Maybe he's realized he also can't hear us, or see what we write.

Yeah, guess we have to do this the hard way. Maybe connect the dots or drawings?

[ Nine is going to draw a building. Recording it and then he'll scribble all over it while it's recording. ]

Let's try this.

[ Popping that tape in the vhs. ]

Do the shitty recording thing.

[ Bakugou holds up one piece of paper.

"Good job not fucking everything over somehow so far"

He moves the one piece of paper behind the other, which says, "There was some kind of weird shit in the fire station's surveillance room that looked like some kind of code."

He switches out the entire piece of paper for one in which he'd actually pre-wrote the entire code set much earlier. He has r.schw underlined, along with clip, default and align underlined as well. ]

You can end it now.

[ Hey baby. The stupid smile is back as he records Bakugou.

Going to step closer to get the paper clearly. And before he stops, the camera flips upwards to catch Nine for a moment before he turns it off. ]

Got it.

[ He'll go pop that into the machine next to play. ]

[ Hey honeybunches.

The smile is infectious ... in putting Bakugou into a good mood, even though he isn't exactly smiling just yet. ]

Good.

[ Just going to stand next to him and lean against him. ]

Hey, can you play these in your world?

[ The tapes ]

Yeah, I can.

[ Wrapping a hand immediately around his for a moment. ]

Just making you do the recording because it's easier. [ ... ] Maybe after we're done hanging with them, we should record something just for ourselves for later.

[ Turning his hand around to just lace their fingers together. Not going to let him go any time soon. ]

Yeah, I'd like that. [ Oh yeah. Time to use his new knowledge. ] Hey, did you know there's smaller devices that plays music?

We're doing it then.

[ ... For the record he doesn't laugh at it. ]

Yeah, I used to listen to stuff on my mini music player all the time to block all the idiots out.

[ Okay not all the time, but still. ]

[ Playing this back is... odd. The video grain is all over that paper and only that paper. Can that really be coincidence? ]

Huh? I think it's keeping that from showing to them?

The music players are also glitching out every time I try to tell them about the buildings flickering.

[ .............. ]

Are you fucking kidding me right now?!

[ He needs to get this message over to them somehow! But first he's just going to be steaming mad about it because rude? ]

Edited 2018-11-16 01:50 (UTC)

Yeah, I mean... that's weird. It didn't do it like that for anything else, yo.

[ He looks absolutely pissed... ]

Oh yeah? FUCK THIS! Whoever is messing around with this needs to DIE!

[ He's thinking though what if he tries to write it in binary or something. Man he doesn't have time for this... ]

[ Then he remembers. ]

Hey, didn't Kino warn us about that bastard was going to act?
