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.

They... They kidnapped you too?!
[ A member of the royal family and the ironblood member of Class VII. That... is quite the combination. And one she doesn't have a theory for. ]
no subject
[Apparently, this did not occur to Millium before this exact moment. Then again, she completely ignored the rules, so.]
no subject
[ She was almost hoping it was in fact where Millium fell asleep. If there was another explanation besides kidnapping... But that didn't seem likely thanks to the rules she had read. ]
no subject
[She puts her hands behind her head, looking off to the side with a worried expression.]
I guess I was just hoping if I ran around enough, maybe I'd figure out that Gramps did send me here for something after all.
no subject
Would the Chancellor really send you on a mission like this, where you have to commit murder to avoid being executed?
[ The Chancellor couldn't be this bad, could he? ]
no subject
[Millium, it might have been a good idea to look at any of what you were given?]
I- I mean... I don't think so! ...I mean, I dunno about the first half of that, but the second I'm pretty sure is a no!
no subject
Did you open the trunk? There were some.. 'rules' inside.
[ She reached into her pocket and took her copy out, holding it towards Millium. ]
Rules six and seven are the ones that talk about execution and murder.
[ She hadn't read rule eight, having been in too much of a frenzy after reading the earlier ones to read any further. ]
no subject
[GOOD JOB, MILLIUM. EXPERT INTELLIGENCE GATHERING.
But hey, she'll take the rules now, give them a quick scan, and -]
...Oh, wow. We really are in trouble, aren't we...?
