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.

The actual priest here will throw this comment out before anything else:]
No worries about receiving a sermon from me. I always thought that one was particularly ridiculous anyway.
[With that out of the way... Will keeps his expression and tone even as he speaks back up. As much as it irritates him, he knows when his back is up against the metaphorical wall.]
Any particular reason why you need the entire lot of us to eliminate a single person? [Asking it of kids too sure is something, but that's another point entirely.] I know, I know, we need to prove our worth, but really. Assigning twenty-two people to a task is just asking for a messy situation.

[In other words, he's not very satisfied with that answer as it currently stands.]

[Maybe he should have gotten a bunch of less impertinent people, though, he's getting a headache from all these protests]

[Why else would the Sergeant pick children over willing killers?
...okay some of the children seem kind of willing, but still.]
