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.

[Which is strange that Sakura herself has one, too.]
no subject
[He wonders which skydom came up with it... Either way, it would be a trend he certainly wouldn't mind becoming normalized.]
Did you end up with one as well then, miss?
no subject
no subject
[He pockets the card with a smile.]
Though I have to ask, why do you believe that they are only for adults? Because they are expected to handle money responsibly?
no subject
[Sakura doesn't disagree at all in the slightest bit.]
I think it's something like that, though?
no subject
That should be the expectation, yes. But unfortunately, many adults are just as irresponsible with spending as children who have a lesser concept of money. Perhaps this will serve as an opportunity for you to learn responsible spending habits.
no subject
Nevertheless--]
Mm! I usually don't spend too much money myself when I get my allowance, so I definitely won't go over my budget!
[Sakura is a very responsible thirteen year old.]
no subject
[The less kids have to be around that kind of filth, the better.]
Though I have to wonder what's on these cards, since I certainly didn't obtain one myself. I suppose there's no way of knowing unless we attempt to make a purchase...?
no subject
[At least... that would be the easiest way to check besides buying something.]
no subject
[He makes his way over to the racks, eventually producing a map. He spreads it out over the desk since the actual, irresponsible receptionist sure isn't using it.]
Hmm, let's see... Are you seeing a bank, miss?
no subject
It's not on here. That's... really weird.
no subject
[He wonders how they intend for that... Either way, it wouldn't be a good idea to wander off without their belongings or not knowing where they even are.]
no subject
[It's weird???]
no subject
[With a shrug,]
Not that it makes the fact that they gave us one any less strange.
