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.

"Light-Time" and "Nirvana".

[ Should he answer the name-asking question seriously. ]

I'm the King of Pridelands. Pleased to meet you.

[ Axel can't believe this...and he holds back a snicker, feigning seriousness. ]

Huh. What's the Embryon? An army?

My tribe, but yeah. [ Every individual in a tribe contributed to the army somewhat, even if it wasn't as a foot soldier. ]

You gave me your title but not your name. 
odoruhinokaze: (sure)

A tribe, eh? Sounds like a big responsibility.

[ And sounds... pretty cool, actually. ]

Name's Axel. Got it memorized?

[ He winks and then points to his head because he is Extra like that. ]

The Embyron. We didn't used to be a large tribe but...guess you could say things are a bit complicated right now.

I'm not a bishop, you know. [ With the barest hint of a smile. It's a joke only he expects to get, but that's okay. ]
