WEEK 0 — ARRIVAL

[cartesio]

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 28^th
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.

[ Luckily, Serph isn't Heat. Given the chance he'll always choose diplomacy over straight out conflict, even with Varuna thirsting for blood.

That doesn't stop him from flashing a brief glimpse of fangs, even as his blades transform back into arms in a burst of bright blue light. ]

I have no reason to trust your word, Sergeant. No one here does. [ Especially the newborns in this group, who were too young to be dragged into this kind of thing even in the Junkyard. Who knows what would happen if they fought right now? Besides, there was a fuzzy feeling throughout his body that he couldn't quite shake, even when he had briefly transformed just now. ]

But I'll hold you to it. Four cycles and you let everyone go.

March 31st, noon, and it'll be over. That'll never change. I'll warn you, though: this little incident has you on notice. Do not misstep again or I'll make sure you never leave this town.

[You have been warned, Serph]

[ Despite the situation, Serph laughs with a fang filled grin. It's more of a chuckle than anything else, but he can't help it given the quick about face the Sargeant took. Heat would be proud, he's sure. ]

I don't have a problem fighting you whenever, if you leave everyone else out of it. But yeah, I'll remember if you do the same. 

[ Maybe, just maybe, there was a chance this wouldn't all need to end violence. ]
