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.

Who knows. It all sounds like a load of bullshit, you see the last bit?
no subject
That sergeant seems like a very controlling person. I don't think we should listen to him though.
no subject
Yeah...It says we can't leave for four days, but hows that work? There a fence or something to tell us when we're leaving?
no subject
[ A fence is too normal and non-intimidating, Lovepon loves jumping for a bit more dramatic scenarios. Or rather, they are truly just what is most realistic to her. ]
no subject
[Fortunately, that's normal where he's from.]
no subject
[ She was kind of expecting to leave behind her existence as a legal living person... which, to be fair, this sort of accomplishes. Just how did she get to the US? ]
no subject
[He is from a simpler time.]
no subject
[ Though Lovepon is a little puzzled by the question, she answers without much of a fuss. ]
no subject
[He's homeless half the time and just as puzzled.]
I can buy things with this?
no subject
[ Just what kind of young adult doesn't have a bank account...? Lovepon doesn't have one because she's 15, but she still thinks it's somewhat weird for someone else to not have one. ]
no subject
[He's not that much older. He's just a mess, who mixes a blazer, hoodie, work boots and a ponytail? This walking disaster.]
no subject
[ She clicks her tongue at that angrily, but the annoyance fades quickly. ]
no subject
[He doesn't seem too upset by it though. And smirks holding his card up.]
Guess I better keep a hold of this then huh?
no subject
I don't like that we still need money here, but that should be safest.
