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.

You've made it obvious how you feel about everyone here.

[ dismissing them, shutting them out, disrespecting their lives... yeah, that makes it very, very clear what the sergeant's stance is. at his side, natsume's fist clenches; it has more to do with being unsure what he should do than being angry or intimidated. if he's frustrated by anything, it's himself. ]

I told you, I don't understand why you need someone dead. [ and it's need now—not want. did the sergeant say that intentionally? ] So how can I know what you would do? How am I supposed to know what else you should do without understanding anything?
intentus: talking (♪ i'll never lose that part)

[ that gives him pause. when he speaks up again, his voice is extremely calm. ]

It's true I won't accept it. [ the "if" coming up is a big one. ] Even if you're trying to do something good here, I can't accept the way you're doing things.
