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.

[He...isn't sure this isn’t a dream. But this girl seems like she needs help. So he tries to remain as calm as he can.]
Hey, calm down. Are you ok? Do you need help?
no subject
[Okay, deep breaths. She needs to calm down. Don't panic, don't panic, don't panic.]
I-I'm fine! See? [She makes a rather determined gesture, pumping her hands into tight fists.] But... I do need help, since I don't know where this place is.
no subject
[...which...is one more than he’s currently used to rn. He can at least stay calm fir the kid’s sake, right? Right.]
Damn. You need help looking for anyone you know? You know, if they’re...around?
[Saying they might be dead would be bad after all what with...what...happened...?]
no subject
[Looking for someone that she knows is definitely important. Especially since she knows exactly who she was just with, just moments prior.]
There's someone really important to me. [She says those words with full confidence, her cheeks tinging a slight pink.] I was with him before, but I haven't seen him here yet... I'd definitely like to look for him.
no subject
[He looks around himself. Maybe...maybe e'll find who he's looking for, too.]
