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.

[ she's not going to worry? good god this girl is either an innocent fool or she has enough power to feel confident about herself.

either way, he sighs as he takes the rules back. ]

I see. Well, I'd still like to warn you not to run around the town so carelessly.

[doublelammy]

[Have you considered: both?

Granted, she's a lot less powerful without her handy dandy robotic best friend around, but hey! She'll be fine. Probably.]

Ehehe. But what's the fun in that? So long as I don't break anything and I run away from any bad guys, I'll be good!

[londonstar]

[ he groans, rubbing his temple. one thing is being optimistic, but another is being stupidly optimistic. ]

Did you not understand a word of what was on the rules or anything that I said? You have to be careful.

[doublelammy]

Yeah, yeah. I know! I'm not dumb.

[That's... debatable. Still, she offers him a catlike grin.]

But, y'know. If I were really gonna be careful, I wouldn't be talking to you at all, now, would I? 'Cause right now, I don't have any way of knowing you're not one of the bad guys. And you don't know that I'm not, either.

[londonstar]

[ ah, there we go. she may be an idiot, but she's not hopeless. at least that gets waver to relax a little, sighing. ]

That is true. However, my Lady, I assure you that I'm far too weak to commit any sort of crimes. [ he shrugs. making comments about his lack of physical strength is not something new for el melloi ii. ]

In relation to you, well, I'm somewhat decent at figuring people out. If you do end up being dangerous, then I suppose we shall cross that bridge if we get there.

[doublelammy]

Ehehe. It's not just strength that might make you scary, y'know? 'Cause I'm a lot more dangerous than I look, too.

But if you wanna just save that for later, that works for me, too! I don't like serious stuff like that. [Nooo, really? We couldn't tell.] So, hey. Why don'cha make yourself a little less scary and tell me who you are, big guy?

[londonstar]

[ good lord, this is a lot for waver to handle...but he's handled this kind of person daily. he can do this. ]

My name is Lord El Melloi II. I apologize if I appear frightening to you, my Lady.

[doublelammy]

I'm Millium! [And she just grins widely before -] Nice to meetcha, Melly!

[He's doomed.]

[londonstar]

[ and in that moment millium can see him make the most disgusted grimace an englishman can make. ]

Even if you’re incapable of calling me by my title, don’t make such a ridiculous nickname! Call me Professor, at least!

[doublelammy]

'Kay! Professor Melly it is!

[He's doomed.]
