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.

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

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

[odasaku]

Because we're ruining his plans, I'm sure. He's throwing a fit.

[linearcrash]

Ha. Serves him right, yo. Maybe we just need to go bigger to really teach him.

[cartesio]

This is supposed to be separate -- a holding place for you all while everything ends. You're not supposed to affect the other side.

[linearcrash]

Well, we are. What the hell are you going to do about it?

[cartesio]

I'm fixing it right while we're speaking. Have patience.

[Whatever he's doing looks like it doesn't require him to actually move]

[linearcrash]

[ ??? ]

Huh?! How the hell are you fixing it? It looks like you're just standing there!

[cartesio]

Just from that response I doubt you'd understand even if I explained. I'll let everyone else explain to you later.

[linearcrash]

Hey, what the hell is that supposed to mean? I might not look like it, but I'm pretty smart, yo!

[ no? no but he'll try? ]

[cartesio]

Says the guy who killed first and got caught.

[Not a smart move, in Sarge's opinion]

[linearcrash]

In case you didn't notice, but I let myself get caught. That suspect list was bullshit and you know it.

[ Because he actually liked people on there. ]

[cartesio]

You really lack the guts to be more than what you are now. Maybe it's for the better you got caught.

[You can't throw people under the bus? For shame, Nine]

[linearcrash]

Says the guy who's hiding his face. What the hell do you know of guts anyways?

[carbide]

While everything ends?

[THAT IS AN OMINOUS PHRASE, SIR.]

[cartesio]

Next week this exercise ends, and those who have proven worthy will leave the town. The rest of you...well...

I hope you like the town.

[Yeah]

[carbide]

[Right, that.

...]

What about Millium?

[cartesio]

She died. She stays too. With her friends, like she wanted.

[carbide]

Olympia really, really, really, really, really wishes she was in any position whatsoever to object to that.]
