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.

[Can a teen with a silly ponytail be threatening though? Wait, is she insulating he's part of the military?]

Fuck no! Don't lump with those bastards.

[The hands fall to clench at his sides.]

[alfin]

[ Non-threatening, and angry at the Sergeant. Wait, bastards? Plural? ]

There are multiple sergeants? The rules and calendar seemed to only make mention of one...

[ She had been operating on the assumption there was only one, but if there were multiple... Well, she supposed it didn't change things much. She still had to get out of here, and whether she had to give one person or multiple people a piece of her mind wasn't much of a concern outside of actually finding them. They kidnap her, and then don't have the courtesy to show themselves? So rude. ]

[streetwolf]

Dunno...Can't be a sergeant without a load of lackeys, can he? He's probably just hiding behind those. [He rubs the back of his head.]

[alfin]

But... His lackeys wouldn't be sergeants, would they? They would be corporals, or privates. Unless you're suggesting the Sergeant is going to disguise himself as one of his lackeys...

[streetwolf]

[Shrug]

Can't really say if the bastard can't even be bothered to show himself. It's not like there's anyone who knows here.

[alfin]

Apparently we'll get to meet him at the lodge at 9AM... If it really is him.

[streetwolf]

Nice, and we won't even be able to break his face. [As deadpan as possible.]

[alfin]

Well...

[ She shifted her weight from one foot to the other. ]

It's worth a try, at least?

[ Some people deserved to have their faces broken, and this Sergeant seemed to be one of those people. ]

[streetwolf]

Huh, really? You don't look like the type to break the rules...

[He's not upset by that though, he's even slouching. This is fine.]

[alfin]

He's the only one that can enforce them that we know of. If we defeat him, we should be able to escape, no?

[ She smiled hopefully. ]

[streetwolf]

If there's a gate then he'll probably have the key...Probably has a good car too.

[Just carjack him and drive off.]
