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.

[ARE YOU FUCKING okay how the fuck does he get out of this, murder is a little much

okay. He's gotta look like he's got a handle on the situation. Look real fuckin snide.]


Bold of you to assume you're not on the table, given everyone's reactions here.

[ Axel gives a snort off to the side. He thought that was a good one. ]

[....he really set himself up for this own.]

You can't possibly have expected me to be prepared to strike you down now after you've apparently stolen all my Pokemon and put them on sale in the local thrift shop.

But mark my words. When I buy them back, you're in for it.

...

Well, we'll see how things play out at the end of the day. I'm sure you wouldn't have bothered to greet us in person if you didn't have some sort of contingency.
agoreable: (09. EXECUTE)

[personal profile] agoreable 2018-05-07 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, execute him!

[ Don't mind this little cry from the peanut gallery. ]
beanstarscream: he's grinning menacingly with a light source below him. it's VERY spooky. (and i would've gotten away with it)

In a minute.
londonstar: (four.)

[personal profile] londonstar 2018-05-07 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Don't provoke him, you--

[ waver's face. meet waver's palm. he's exhausted. ]

Don't try it.

[Nagisa is thinking the same thing, but he's not about to give himself away.]

It's clear just from looking at him that he could defeat any of us without breaking a sweat. If someone plans to kill him, they need to be certain they can do it on the first strike. [In other words: an assassination.]

[personal profile] beanstarscream 2018-05-08 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, not now. I don't think there's any human that could take a Pokemon on without issue, though, unless it was more physically-focused.
streetwolf: (1947 VN - Am I cool yet Rose?)

[personal profile] streetwolf 2018-05-07 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Holy shit, you. He likes you. You're getting a snicker.]

Wonder how the rules against that work if he's not here to enforce em.
beanstarscream: he's grinning menacingly with a light source below him. it's VERY spooky. (s h r u g)

[personal profile] beanstarscream 2018-05-08 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, that is what I have to wonder. I do have to wonder what he thinks he can take on, honestly.
streetwolf: (1947 VN - Ugh...)

[personal profile] streetwolf 2018-05-09 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
The map did mention a police station. Guess they follow this guy... I haven't looked yet though, it might be worth checking if they're useful.

[Aka - would they help us or are they that useless that it's an advantage.]
beanstarscream: he's grinning menacingly with a light source below him. it's VERY spooky. (me: an intellectual)

[personal profile] beanstarscream 2018-05-09 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, he's probably a police sergeant. At least, I would imagine...
streetwolf: (1947 VN - Miss Rose)

[personal profile] streetwolf 2018-05-09 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh, I figured it was an army thing... That's an American title right?
beanstarscream: he's grinning menacingly with a light source below him. it's VERY spooky. (me: an intellectual)

[personal profile] beanstarscream 2018-05-09 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
...

American? What do you mean, exactly...?
streetwolf: (4)

[personal profile] streetwolf 2018-05-09 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
That place with all the western army jackasses.

[He might not know a lot there.]

[personal profile] beanstarscream 2018-05-10 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

Unova, then.
streetwolf: (1947 VN - Keep up old man)

[personal profile] streetwolf 2018-05-10 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Not sure where that is, but that's been pretty common here.

[He just doesn't know.]

[personal profile] beanstarscream 2018-05-12 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
...Ah.

So is this somewhere in Ultra Space, I wonder? Unova is a fairly notable region...
