WEEK 1: April 2nd - April 6th



Peace Week
Sunday must have been exhausting for you, maybe even upsetting. A new town, new faces and a an ominous order from a man without a face... who wouldn't be a little frightened? Hopefully, all of that is forgotten when you climb out from under your blankets this fine Monday. Rise and shine! A new morning is a new start!

If you make your way to the lounge, you will find a few copies of the local newspaper provided for your perusal. Once you go outdoors, you'll find the weather forecast 100% accurate. It's pretty impressive.

It seems that quiet mornings like this are going to be your everyday life now. Maybe you should see this whole stay as a vacation? Go out and explore the town, meet your fellow motel guests and meet the townspeople. They're sure to welcome you with a smile!

This week's special in the diner is lemon pie made with love (and a top-secret recipe)

Well, I don't think that's always difficult to do...

[Most people aren't as great as they think they are.]

There was another country that made everyone who entered it compete in a tournament for citizenship whether they came as a visitor or not. But most of those people were there because they wanted to fight, with some exceptions.

[He gives a solemn half-nod of agreement to Kino's first point. It's not wrong...and that sucks. A whole lot.]

What, they fought to the death?

[And...wanted to?]

Most of the time. If you surrendered, it was possible to leave the country safely if your opponent accepted it, but a lot of the participants would just kill their opponent anyway. The audience preferred a violent end to the fight too, of course.

[It's all said in an even, matter-of-fact tone.]

...Dude.

[Give him a moment for that to sink in.]

That's really fucked up.

The king was a bloodthirsty man. Once he claimed the throne from his father and started the tournaments, the country started to attract other bloodthirsty people as well.

[Though even some of the original, peaceful citizens seemed to have gotten used to their new, violent society.]

Spill blood, and the sharks come sniffing. Did everything...just...descend into violence?

More or less. There were still people who entered the country unawares, but a lot of people were attracted by the chance to show off their skills and guarantee themselves a home for it... if they could survive.
