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.

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.

[odasaku]

Don't get too cocky. You'll lose the upper hand before you realize it. [ his voice is quite dispassionate, but the gun is still locked on to the sergeant ]

[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.

[silvertongueheir]

Maybe you should simply have programmed this side of your simulation better if you didn't want us to be able to see the breakdowns.

[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.

[kingbomber]

[ Bakugou isn't an idiot, he's not about to touch it but uh, he looks kind of like 'wtf' for a second before glaring at the Sergeant and guess what.

He flips him off. ]

...How about you do us all a fucking favor and go fuck yourself?!

[carbide]

[what]

[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.

[linearcrash]

How the hell is that what's causing all the messes?

[ YOU KNOW compared to some of the other stuff they have been doing ]

[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.]

[cartesio]

Pretty much.

[pursuitofdeath]

[Oh super fuck you.]

[cartesio]

[You're just bitter you didn't get to kill Olympia, pffft]

[pursuitofdeath]

[Sarge that is literally the least important of the three things he's bitter at you about.]

Nice of you to announce your involvement this time.

[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.]

[cartesio]

......

[When he sees Nagisa, something seems to change. He stops being so casual, and glares at him with intensity, even despite his lack of face]

If you're consciously refusing to join the rest of your group in a calm and prosperous life, you should stop already. It's meddlesome.

[Yeah, Nagisa and others being like this wasn't part of his plans at all]

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]

[kingbomber]

[ ONCE HE'S GONE AND HE IS SURE OUT OF EARSHOT ]

Time to tear down the rest of the fucking lodge.

[ he never learns does he but also he's going to try to finish what he started ]

[linearcrash]

Hells no! We aren't going to just sit around and do nothing you son of a bitch!

[ He's barking at empty air, but he doesn't really give a shit. He's hoping the Sarge will hear it anyways. ]

Re: REAL END

[carbide]

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

If I self-destruct while standing too close to the Sergeant, and he dies, does that count as murder?
