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.

[Mira is also trying to make use of a map, so she's right there. A glance over reveals one very frilly younger teen... some kind of sheltered rich kid? Not that Mira particularly minds either way.]

I guess you don't exactly remember checking in either. But I don't see any other kind of lodgings on this map, so it must be.

There is the lodge...

[ She found the lodge on the map and sighed. ]

If we really are in the motel, it's quite a ways away. I would like to meet with the Sergeant as soon as possible.

True, but I figured that was more like a clubhouse.

[It is far though. Definitely not worth wandering too much away.]

It said he'll be there at 9 am... I doubt he'll show his face before then. Though that's just a hunch.
