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.

...Perhaps he would. However if he's not here, there's no use dwelling on it or discounting others' possible contributions.

[that's reliable advice right??? Where's Alm (or maybe Lukas?) when you need him...]

[alfin]

[ Others' possible contributions... Yes, he's right. ]

Do you have a plan?

[ She asked hopefully. ]

[magecrafter]

[....ah. erm]

For all that I'm a scholar, I don't exactly have the ability to lead others towards the completion of a goal such as this. [maybe if you had magic homework that needed help, or wanted theoretical etiquette lessons, then he'd be your man.

until then, you're stuck with Luthier and his negative amount of people skills]

[alfin]

A scholar? Are you familiar with this place-- Cartesio?

[ If anyone would be, it would be a scholar. ]

[magecrafter]

[Luthier mouths the word to himself briefly, before shaking his head]

I cannot say I know of anything by that name. Which means it's most likely not part of the lands I'm familiar with, unless there is another name it goes by to non-natives.

[He sighs, before continuing]

In all likelihood that would require leaving here to find out. I'm not sure how viable an option that is, however.
