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.

[ Luthier had spent his time wandering around this town mostly avoiding the other people-- talking to people wasn't remotely a talent of his, and these others obviously are as confused and alone as he is.

Besides, Delthea is strong, stronger then he is or could be, and his sister would never let someone possess her once again. Not without a loud raucous and enough scorch marks to shame a forest fire. He has to believe that.

The young man that comes full tilt out of the original building seems to be in even more dire straights then he, if such a thing was possible.]

Excuse me young man, I believe you mean "the sun"?

[dvaita]

They're both celestial bodies, aren't they?

[ Seems that way, considering his reply sounds genuinely curious. ]

[magecrafter]

Yes, they are. They are not one and the same, however. This one, the one that's visible in the day time, is the sun. You called it the moon.

[dvaita]

...ah, I see. [ Soft and not disinterested in the slightest. ]

Sera always called Light Time, day time too.
