WEEK 0 — ARRIVAL

[cartesio]

Week 0: Arrival

When you wake up you immediately feel something’s off. You sit on the bed and find it’s not your bed, and this isn’t your room either. You seem to be in a rather normal-looking motel room. To your side there’s a trunk, if you open it you’ll find a military uniform, the key to your room, a set of rules and a debit card. Don’t lose those items! Or do lose the rules, you'll find a brand new copy the next day under your pillow. There’s also a calendar on the wall, you can see today’s date. The year is unreadable, but the month and day are very clear:

March 28^th
There it says ‘Meet the Sergeant at the Lodge, 9:00 AM’. There’s also a circle around March 31st, with the word ‘END’ scrawled there.

For now leaving your motel room would be a good choice. When you reach the lobby, you see the receptionist’s desk— no one’s manning it. There’s a rack filled with maps, marking several locations in the town.

There are also many strangers here – and you’re one more. For now it may be a good idea to take a map and explore the town.

After all, looks like you’re stuck here in the boonies for a while.

[ Lovepon is raising her hand as if she's in class. ]

I agree with executing the Sergeant, but he still has the police as well. Does that really make us the many?

[alfin]

[ The police... Where she's from the only 'police' are the Railway Military Police, so to her, she thought it was quite possible that the Sergeant and the police were unconnected. The RMP and the provincial army were enemies in the war, after all. And before that they hadn't exactly been allies. ]

The only mention of the police made thus far has been that they exist. We do not know if they are the Sergeant's allies. If they aren't we could make them our allies. Who would choose to follow a man intent on killing innocents, when they could help those innocents?

We are the many. Do not forget-- a police force is small. I doubt they have enough manpower to overpower twenty-two of us.

[ Or at least, that's what she assumed based off of her own home. She had never heard of more than five members of the RMP stationed at the same place. ]

The rules state that the police would arrest us for sleeping outside at night, but not for killing one another. That doesn't sound trustworthy at all.

[ Lovepon isn't sure how much police there is either, so she doesn't comment on that bit. She's already made up the fantasy of a border police shooting them should they attempt to leave town, but that's starting to not seem accurate, so who knows what numbers there are or aren't.... ]
