WEEK 0 — ARRIVAL



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 28th

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.

He is also doing his absolute best to deprive us of any resources we could really use to take him down.

[ he sighs. ]

And if he has the means to observe us, then I wouldn't be surprised if he cut the funds that he has so graciously given us.

[ note the heavy sarcasm over the word "graciously" ]

...Wait. We have funds?

[ A leader isn't supposed to show uncertainty, but she is genuinely surprised by this news. They were given funds???

Even if she had made note of the debit card, it wasn't something that existed on Zemuria. She would have assumed it a pass card of some kind, but not one for money. ]

Yes, Princess, we do.

[ he's not too surprised about her confusion. in the backwater society of the clock tower, technology such as cellphones or even debit cards are a foreign concept to mages.

waver on the other hand, has never had a fear towards technology-- maybe that's why he's the head of the modern magecraft division. ]


You should have found a plastic card along with the rules and the military uniform. It is connected to a bank, which holds funds we are capable of using.

[ Alfin blinked. ]

Oh.

[ She should... go get that. Whoops. ]

...I'm surprised he didn't actually cut them, as far as I know.
