April 1st - Arrival
Arrival
It feels more like waking up from a very restful night, instead of the jarring feeling of waking up in an unknown bed. That feeling may not last long, though, because you're definitely not looking up at any ceiling you're familiar with.
It's some kind of motel room -- maybe cleaner than you'd expect from such a place. There's a comfortable bed, a trunk with a military uniforn and a gas mask and enough space to stash whatever you get during the next two months, a closet with a familiar outfit or two...no other belongings in this room, and certainly no answers as to why you're here.
There's one thing that may bring more questions than answers: a calendar. Today's date is marked there: April 1st. Happy April Fools day? The entirety of April and most of May is empty, but the week from May 21st to May 25th is filled with one word:
END
The moment you step out of your room with AC you're hit by the warm, sticky air of Cartesio. Today is a rather dry day. You're not the only one who seems to be lost -- other people come out of their rooms. At some point, once you get to the lobby, you find a few things of interest: a guestbook, a rack of maps, and a note pinned to the wood of the counter:
"Meet me at the Lodge in two hours -- The Sergeant"
You now have a place to go to in two hours. In the meanwhile, how about you get accustomed to the motel and the town?

Wow, you sure have one tiny sky where you're from.
[...It's unclear if she recognized that was a joke or not. Either way, after a second, she's hopping up to her feet, dusting herself off and not actually looking particularly hurt or even upset.]
Man, this tree doesn't have any good footholds. I was trying to get a better vantage point...

[Though it's not like it isn't true. She looks up at the tree thoughtfully. She's never had to climb one to get a better vantage point, and she's glad for that.]
Are you trying to figure out the layout of the park, then?
[it might make it easier to find body parts next time!!]
no subject
[The second question gets a nod, though.]
Yeah. I wanna get up even higher than these so I can see the rest of the town, too, but that's not gonna happen unless I get Lammy back...
