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.

Pretty sure people'd pay more attention to you talking than those old guys. [That's disrespectful to priests!]

The 'rules'...[He scoffs.] Most of it's pretty basic stuff. Other than a bit were we have to stay here for four days. And they can be changed whenever.

Had some bad experiences with them, I take it?

[He wouldn't be surprised. There are some shitty excuses for priests out there.

As for the second bit, he hums in confirmation.]


A similar case on my end. Seems this "Sergeant" has gathered a group of us here for this... Whatever this is.

They talk big but they'll leave a load of kids out in the snow like any other adult.

[It's dismissive. He's seen it happen and experienced it enough times to be blasé about it. Scratching his head.]

Guess we gotta seem him to work anything out. If I didn't have things to do, I'd say we should give him the run around.
