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.

This is certainly designed with the goal of enticing the altruistic and the selfish. [France sips at his glass.]

... I suppose even the nihilistic that may be among us.

[Relief! His curiosity is piqued.] Dare I ask?

That's easy. Better me here than the alternatives.

[He drinks.]

Hell, with my luck, who knows. This place might get wrecked at any time now, and if I die maybe things will finally calm down.

...

Or this place will still get wrecked, I shouldn't put it past the sharks to get revenge.

[That is an actual sentence a grown man has said]
