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.

[agoreable]

That's just perfect. He'll regret all those times he's imposed himself on us, making himself the center of our lives... It all works against him now. And there won't be a need to do it all at once, it could be a slow execution... Make him suffer for every single day he came to us...

[ Lovepon is not exaggerating in the slightest and the tremor in her voice betrays that she's completely serious about this plan. She's not so naive as to think this would work without fail, of course. She's failed too many times before. But the fantasy is pleasant and the attempt will be worth it.

For a moment, Lovepon seems lost in imagination, but then she snaps back to reality and gives a smile to Matoba that looks... genuinely sane and friendly? ]

Thank you so much. I'll make sure to never misuse this knowledge.

[paciscere]

[ he's not worried about her abusing this knowledge because the curse only works with the most obsessive brand of hatred. how many people can one person hate like that? ]

You're welcome. Sounds like he's quite the troublesome individual. And you can't really use people like that.

[ also, it's not his problem if she doesn't. he deals in vengeful youkai, not people. ]

Ah - one more thing. What's your name? I'm Matoba Seiji.

[agoreable]

Call me.. Lovepon.

[ For a moment she considers giving her real name, because stating a chat handle when given a legal name seems... odd. But her real name is one she's left behind. In her new life, she'll be Lovepon forever. ]

Matoba-san, it's very nice to meet you.

[paciscere]

Ahaha, that's not a phrase I ever expected to say seriously, but very well, Lovepon-san. Let's make sure we leave this place, so you can try out that curse.
