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.

[The normal response would be to tell the truth. They're all in the same boat after all.

Expect this guy looks shady, with his long hair and adult...adultness? So Wayne shrugs, hunching his shoulders.]


No... Why would I be?

[Must not show weakness.]

[ wayne you're a shitty liar.

but hey, if he's going to be like that, waver isn't going to be much better. ]


Lying won't get you anywhere. You're not part of this town and that much is obvious. It's alright to be scared.

Tch- Who said I was scared? You might be old man, but I'm fine...

[Off to a good start.]

Tch- who the hell said I was scared!? You're the one that looks like you're going to jump the first person that looks at you the wrong way!

[ they're getting along great. ]
streetwolf: (1947 VN - Hey!)

You're the one telling me it's alright to be scared. Ain't got a clue what there is too be scared of in this dump though.
londonstar: (nine.)

[personal profile] londonstar 2018-05-06 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
That doesn't mean that I'm scared. And if you think this is just a "dump" then you clearly have no idea of the situation you're in.

[ he's already feeling a headache blooming thanks to this. ]

No shit! I wake up in a random room with a uniform and a load of papers. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen to people all the time though.

[Thought those people don't normally get the waking up part.]
londonstar: (fourteen.)

[personal profile] londonstar 2018-05-06 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well it doesn't mean you gotta run around like an angry bull. You can get some clues if you actually open your eyes and see what's around you.

[ he shakes his head, obviously displeased with wayne's idiocy. ]

Did you even read the papers or do you not know how to do that either?
streetwolf: (1947 VN - Ugh...)

[personal profile] streetwolf 2018-05-06 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
'Course I fucking can. Don't need school to do that. A load of stuff about some bastard called a 'Sergeant'.

I'm not staying in a building someone's dumped me in.
londonstar: (four.)

[personal profile] londonstar 2018-05-06 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ cue a groan. ]

If you had read the load of stuff then you would be aware that sleeping out of the motel puts you in danger of being arrested, you bloody idiot.
streetwolf: (1947 VN - wow)

[personal profile] streetwolf 2018-05-06 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, so? Let'em try, ain't caught me yet.
londonstar: (fourteen.)

[personal profile] londonstar 2018-05-06 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ WHAT?

el melloi's eyes widen, as if shocked at wayne's audacity, and then he drags a hand down his face. ]


I thought you were like a wild bull, but I take it back. A wild bull would be a hundred times smarter than your brainless self. Don't you have some level of self-preservation?!
streetwolf: (2)

[personal profile] streetwolf 2018-05-06 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I do. Don't stay in places where rich folk are, don't trust cops or adults cause they're useless.

[He shrugs. Sorry, not sorry, but you're just another grown up he doesn't trust.]
londonstar: (twelve.)

[personal profile] londonstar 2018-05-06 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ waver can't believe this. he can't fucking believe this. ]

Alright, fine. Do whatever the fuck you want. You don't know if the police here's any different than your police but go right ahead and run face first into danger.
streetwolf: (1947 VN - Hey!)

[personal profile] streetwolf 2018-05-07 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty sure they'll just shoot and leave me for dead like back home anyway.

[He waves as he walks off, bye!]
londonstar: (fourteen.)

[personal profile] londonstar 2018-05-07 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ohhh my gooooddd.

he’s just going to facepalm while wayne walks away. what an idiot.

but now he’s lowkey worried about him ]
