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.

Tch...! Still, shouldn't you know better than anyone else other than give into a villain's demands, damnit! You wouldn't be dead if you'd just fucking ignored him!

[ He knew Proheroes could make stupid decisions, but this kind didn't occur to him at all, and it's utterly frustrating to him - it's frustrating because he can see normal people doing this. But not someone like Hawks.

Is it because he put him on a pedestal? Bakugou brings his hand up and at the last minute turns to toss the rock angrily across the pond. Look at that, 22 skips! ]

As far as I'm considered they can go ahead and all go fuck themselves. If they decided to set it up like that and forced you to act as their double-agent they should be prepared to face the fucking consequences.

I'm as human as you are. I'm not infallible, by any definition of the word. And I still could have been dead, considering I doubt he would want a prohero around as long as I have been, let alone when whatever comes at the end of the month entails.

[He hasn't forgotten there was a weird two-month deadline. It should be coming up soon...

Hey! No more threats of getting hit with the rock! That's a bright spot of the day.]

If you want to be a pro, kid, you're going to have to learn to play at politics or manage to change the system. One of those is a helluva lot harder than the other.

[Hawks is slowly edging into just being tired at this point. There's no good way to justify the Commission's actions, especially considering Hawks doesn't like them either.]

'At the end of the month' people who don't have a medal stay here, and people who do get out. That's what he's aiming for, at least.

[ Bakugou hasn't forgotten what the other man said about it. For...most people, anyway.

It seems clearing some things up seems to have mostly thawed things through, even if him being upset now is mostly about Hawks getting himself dead. ]

I know you're human, but it doesn't mean you're not...you know what I fucking mean! Whatever. He wouldn't have tried to kill you off unless you broke a rule or something.

[ He's having such a hard time with this, and honestly he's tired himself, even if he'd die before admitting to that. He'll just blame Dabi for this and call it a day. If that ass wasn't here, Hawks would be alive. To that last bit, he is undeniably sulking by now, evident by his answer (which he knows isn't the right one but the imagery is satisfying) here: ]

Or I could just need to slam an explosion into every single one of their faces and call it a fucking day, saving a lot of trouble in the long run.
