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.

So, hey! [Because, you know, chatting while you run.] What's your name, anyhow?
no subject
Name's Axel. Got it memorized?
[ Because of course he says that 9/10 times he gives his name. ]
And you, little partner?
no subject
[It worked one whole time, buddy. It'll never happen again.]
I'm Millium! Millium Orion.
no subject
[ And they make it outside! ]
Nice to meet you, Millium. You know, I'm surprised even a kid was brought here. Did you manage to see any of your parents lounging about?
no subject
[She says that, but she doesn't sound at all upset about it. It's just a fact.]
I haven't seen Gramps or Claire or Lechter or anyone else around either, though. And even Lammy's not here! So it's totally weird...
no subject
Maybe you'll run into your Gramps or somebody you know pretty soon. They could be just hiding somewhere in a place we haven't looked yet.
[ Hah. ]
MAJOR COLD STEEL 2 SPOILERS there's really no way around this with this idiot
Could be! I wouldn't be surprised. One time, Gramps got shot and then hid so well for so long we all totally thought he was dead. So he's pretty much the hide-and-seek master, at this point!
[every tag i write is another adventure in "what the fuck is wrong with millium orion" i s2g]
1/2
2/2
Wha? Did he tell you all about that himself?
THE CS2 SPOILERS CONTINUE. i wish i could say she cares more in canon but....
[She pats her chest above her heart.]
And then they took away the body and everything! But then he showed up again when the war ended like everything was fine. Like I said, he totally got all of us!
goodness...
[ This girl certainly is a handful. She'd probably get along with everyone in the Organization. ]
What does he look like anyway? In the event we somehow find this old man of yours.
Re: goodness...
Um... big guy, kinda squared off all over? Goatee, shoulder-length hair with a white strip down the left side.
Looks like a badass, basically. You can't miss 'im!
[#help...ful.....???]
no subject
... That is probably sort of helpful. He doesn't think a lot of people would look like that. ]
Right. I don't know many guys with a goatee and who look like...whatever you've just described, so it probably won't be too hard.
no subject
Anyone I oughta keep an eye out for for you?
no subject
Two kids, one's a blond boy with short hair and blue eyes. The other one's got black short hair and blue eyes. Oh and that one's a girl.
... And I guess a scary looking guy with blue hair along with an x-like scar, but I have a feeling if he were here I'd know already.
Anyway, you got it all memorized?
no subject
[Well... she probably wouldn't be with the Intelligence Division if she couldn't even remember this much.]
