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.

It's a name, not a grocery list. I'm El Melloi II.
no subject
Either way, he rolls his eyes comedically at the 'grocery list' portion. ]
I think I'm just going to call you Melloi. Since the whole thing sounds like a mouthful. Unless...you're a fan of 'Eli' as a nickname.
no subject
Could you pick some worse options?
no subject
[ He looks like he's giving this some very involved critical thinking! ]
Elly? Or Mell-mell. That worse enough for you?
no subject
[ he groans. thanks axel. ]
Call me The Second, then, if you're that incapable of saying the whole name.
no subject
Glad you like 'em. Personally, I'm a fan and all that.
[ Then he shrugs at the Second. He heard but would he actually use it? Only time will tell. ]
Well, we tackled the hardship of introductions just fine. Anyway, c'mon -- time to scope out this place and see if we can find anything good.
no subject
he sighs. ]
You're awfully confident I will simply follow after you.
[ but...yeah that's exactly what waver is doing. ]
no subject
Weeeell, it looks like I am for a good reason, considering you're already tagging along!
[ Axel gives the man beside him a teasing smirk before they make it outside. His eyes land instantly on CARTESIO POLICE, which is ostensibly the police headquarters. ]
What about starting there? You know what they say about law enforcement...
