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.

Yeah, I wasn't. [More like 'yeah, I wasn't because I don't remember falling asleep', but details.] You're... the same too, right?

Well, I most certainly would've picked a better hotel if I was here by choice. It's an odd location for a kidnapping, though.

You think so?

Yes, I do. Do you even know where this place is? Because I don't.

Um... I saw the name on the map. It's called "Cartesio", I think? Do you recognize that name?

I can't say I've heard of it, no. This isn't exactly a large town, though, so it may just be too minor to be on my radar.

I suppose that's true.

Have you seen any Pokemon around, by chance? That might help pinpoint a location.
