Week 0 - March 31st

Week 0: Investigation

The deadline is fast approaching and the one thing that should be on everyone’s minds is, “what’s going to happen now?” Last night there was a strong thunderstorm, and thanks to it the air still feels cold, moist, and even a little murky. Droplets of water cover many surfaces outside, and there are few clouds hanging in the sky. It’s rather fitting weather given, in just a few hours, all of your lives will be claimed. Have you made peace with this seemingly unavoidable outcome?

Whether you have or haven’t, it would appear your musings are doomed to be interrupted. Outside the motel sirens can be heard as a patrol car zooms by. Maybe nothing’s wrong, and maybe it’s something unrelated to everyone’s current situation.

...but, even if it is, how many of you can really sit around and do nothing? The events of the 30th proved how eager to help some of you are—enough so to put even your own lives in danger.

Abruptly, the patrol car makes a sharp turn and disappears out of sight.

[ Naoto arrives shortly after Millium, and ignores the instructions of the police tape. She starts at the pond, before working her way west. Anything of interest? ]

[cartesio]

[It's a bit odd how the ducks that usually like to swim in the pond are avoiding it. Must have something to do with how the water has a slightly reddish tint.

Looks like you'll have to return to the pond later]

[detegoergosum]

[ Oh, we're definitely not coming back to the pond, if that's the case. Unless someone starts screaming, we're doing this now.

What's the water smell like? Red algae? Faint iron tinge of spilled blood? Something else entirely?

...Okay, so someone did scream. We'll come back to this. ]
