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.

Yes, that is what I have to wonder. I do have to wonder what he thinks he can take on, honestly.

The map did mention a police station. Guess they follow this guy... I haven't looked yet though, it might be worth checking if they're useful.

[Aka - would they help us or are they that useless that it's an advantage.]

Well, he's probably a police sergeant. At least, I would imagine...

Huh, I figured it was an army thing... That's an American title right?

...

American? What do you mean, exactly...?

That place with all the western army jackasses.

[He might not know a lot there.]

Oh.

Unova, then.

Not sure where that is, but that's been pretty common here.

[He just doesn't know.]

...Ah.

So is this somewhere in Ultra Space, I wonder? Unova is a fairly notable region...
