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.

Trial Speculating

[linearcrash]

[ It's time. Kinzie is the victim, and the suspects are Bolin, Oso, Keith, Niwa, and Natalie.

Keith immediately starts in with something interesting ]

[amburere]

...copycats.

[ What else is he supposed to think of this fire. And what is he supposed to think of this suspect list? ]

[linearcrash]

You think it's a team up again? Who would even team up?

[ He's so out of the loop about most of that stuff ]

[amburere]

Nah, the fire.

[ Looking at the list, his face is blanker than usual. ]

Natalie and the paladin if we're talking people who are close enough. Don't think so, though.

[linearcrash]

Maybe you left that big of an impression, huh?

[ Though hey, the town people they can actually see and hear are talking about Natalie's alibi. ]

Man, they got really close.

[amburere]

[ A semi amused shrug.

Nine's gonna have to find someone else for details if he wants them, cause Dabi would rather not talk about Natalie at length. Normally he'd be interested in this guessing game out of boredom, but not today. ]

[linearcrash]

[ Wow Dabi made a friend. Not that Nine realizes that. ]

[kingbomber]

[ ... and then Bolin ended up being revealed.

It's been a long ass week. Or maybe a few long ass weeks. ]

An accident? What a fucking idiot.

[ So basically Bakugou is going to have a lot of his friends in the graveyard. ]

[linearcrash]

[ Nine isn't going to think about it at first until he remembers the nickname and how he brought him before. So just going to snag his hand to hold. ]

Were you guys close or something?

[kingbomber]

Since when, huh?!

[ Unconsciously, he began kind of squeezing Nine's hand tight. Bolin was pretty much the first friend he made in this stupid town, so. ]

[linearcrash]

[ He knows better. He has been learning Bakugou's... whole Bakugou-ness. Rubbing his thumb against the back of his head ]

We can blow up the rest of the lodge after this.

[silvertongueheir]

[Wait, what's that?]

It's not the same at all! Not if it was an accident! [Don't beat yourself up over it, Bolin.]

Re: Trial Speculating

[carbide]

[Olympia's been pretty quiet throughout the trial, but once the voting results are in...]

It seems as though they are finally beginning to understand.

[linearcrash]

Yeah, it's about time they find that out, yo.

[ A beat and then he'll look at Dabi and then see if Hawks is around. ]

Hey, we actually have someone who signed it here.

[icariot]

[Hey there Nine, Hawks isn't actually too far from you. He's been shamelessly eavesdropping]

You all knew about those papers?

[This is the first he's heard of them.]

[linearcrash]

Found 'em during last week's trial.. Right before the whole...[ Gestures to him and Dabi. ]

You signed one of them back for my trial, yo.

[icariot]

No wonder I haven't heard of them... I certainly don't remember signing anything either.

[linearcrash]

Yeah, it's weird as hell. Bakugou said the signature matches yours. It might be more of that brainwashing bullshit that bastard does.

[ Which is an unsettling thought ]

[icariot]

That would be as good of an explanation as anything, so far. [a moment of thought, before] You said I signed it for your trial? Do you know if there’s a correlation between who signed for which trial?

[linearcrash]

It seems pretty random as hell, yo.

[ Nine doesn't have the papers on him. He left them at the hotel. Buuuuut ]

Only thing is that they weren't the culprit for that case they signed for. [ But it's Nine so someone else might be able to see another connection. So he's going to share what he remembers. ]

Let's see there was was also the really old guy who helped kill Jughead. He did it for Bakky's case. Then bandage fetish- er. I mean Dazai did it for Jugheads. Kino signed it for Millium, Azura, and Cian. And Oso did it for your trial.

[icariot]

They may not have been the culprit, and from what I can tell they weren’t suspects in those cases either. Except for me for yours. [Not like denying that would help anyone, and it’s one more oddity.]

[amburere]

[ Dabi's not sure why you shot him a look Nine, but have his helpful input. Cause not sorry about it in the slightest. ]

Before we killed the waxing poet and the vagabond.

[linearcrash]

[ Shaking his head. ]

No no no. After that. Just before his confession, yo.

[ Pointing to Hawks. They can probably guess why the papers wound up kind of forgotten until now. ]
