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.

[Very subtle, Sakura.] I didn't know they had schools for that!
no subject
[ he tilts his head. no need to mention his own shitty abilities as a magus. ] Are you also a magus, my Lady?
no subject
I wouldn't call myself a magus... but I can do magic-- [And she tries to find something under her shirt and then makes a rather surprised yelp.] It's gone!!
no subject
Did you lose something, my Lady?
no subject
[Now she has to check her pockets now, as well.] And my cards are gone, too!
no subject
considering how well planned this kidnapping was...he doubts that their captors would make a silly mistake like dropping a key and some cards. ]
...We may have to consider the possibility that they were taken from you.
no subject
[She swallows hard, completely concerned; it shows in how her voice trembles and how she brings her hands together in what seems to be an almost fruitless prayer.]
Why would they take it? [She has an idea, but she asks it nevertheless.]
no subject
[ unfortunately, he's not very good at comforting. but he'll still do his best and lay a hand on her shoulder, his expression sympathetic. ]
But it's most likely to...keep us here, probably. I'm very sorry.
no subject
[Someone has to say it, and she supposes that it's got to be her.]
If I don't get the cards back, then--
[She doesn't know what will happen. It's possible that bad things might happen.]
no subject
It truly is horrible. And yet for that same reason, we cannot give up, Lady Sakura. The situation is dire, but it is not hopeless. [ not yet, at least. ]
no subject
no subject
so he nods. ]
I believe so as well. I will do my best so that nothing befalls you, my Lady.
1 / 2
[Emerald green eyes widen in surprise, quiet for a moment when he says that. It makes her heart flutter with warmth that's almost familiar-- it's different from the feelings that she has for Syaoran, but it's something kind, too. That she can definitely trust him.
At least, she desperately wants to believe that.]
no subject
Mm. [There's a nod, full of confidence that wasn't there before, along with a rekindled determination.] And I'll do my best, too, sensei!
[She even pumps up her hands into tight fists, making a rather eager pose that shows just how much she would do the same, in spite of the fact that she's thirteen and might not be able to do much in this state.]
