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?

Maybe it was some other type of unique Quirk; ever since that warp gate asshole, I wouldn't be surprised if someone's got something rare out there just to make things difficult.

[ Speculation, sure but it's better than just sitting on their asses and twiddling their thumbs. ]

That Sergeant guy probably has more information. Once he gathers us all together he's probably going to make one of those huge, dumb speeches about his evil plan and all that.

[ So, he thinks that'll be a good time. Too bad Bakugou just tries to bumrush the guy and screams obscenities for the whole few hours they're down there. ]

It’s a valid suggestion, although warp quirks are probably even more rare than gas quirks, especially ones as strong as the villain Kurogiri.

[Not just twiddle their thumbs! Hawks has been trying to memorize profiles and other useful information. You never know what could come in handy.]

Probably will make a big speech, but that’s always a perfect opportunity to gather information. Stay quiet and listen long enough and people start to reveal more than they’d like.

Yeah, they are.

[ Bakugou definitely had kept the guestbook in mind for now, anyway, all of that information tucked away. It was just a good idea in general. ]

I'll give him enough time to rattle away enough, but after that, waiting around and listening won't do any good at all. If he's expecting this to not blow up in his face, he has another thing coming.
