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.

[ That... was not the reaction she was expecting. Nor was it an explanation. But, she supposed, it could answer one question. ]

You aren't the sergeant.

[ The sergeant probably wouldn't be surprised by her age. But... ]

Do you work for him?

[ That didn't rule him out as an enemy. ]

[ He looked just as freaked out as she felt. She relaxed a bit. Only a bit. There was still a chance he was an enemy, even if he didn't work for the Sergeant. ]

Do you know where we are?

[ She had already been informed. But if he knew as well... Well, it all depends on how he answers. ]

Just that it's not where I was before and my son is missing.

[Again. This can't be where they were supposed to go, can it?]

[ The man's threat level went down to zero. ]

Your son is missing? That's horrible! What does he look like? I'll help you search.
