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.

[ Jake is laying down the various maps on the ground in the lobby, trying to build a giant map of the town on the floor. It takes up a lot of space. He's muttering things to himself like 'THINK LIKE AMY WOULD'. After awhile, he jumps up to try to get a pad and paper and....

...accidentally scatters all the maps with a slip of the knee.

The horrified look on his face is epic. ]

[streetwolf]

[Just walks straight over the maps with his muddy boots.]

[dieharddiehard]

Hey!

[ Gets a really upset look on his face and picks up one of the maps, throwing them at him. What are you trying to do, Jake, give him a papercut? ]

I put work into that!

[ Never mind that he'd kind of ruined it himself first. ]

[streetwolf]

[He's not even moving out the way of that. It's paper, what's it going to do?]

Work into what? Throwing paper around? That's some job...

[And he's smirking the whole time.]

[doublelammy]

[Millium, witnessing this, responds in the best and most comforting way possible.]

Wow, you sure messed that one up!

[snailedit]

[Well, Mira was thinking of doing a cursory walk around to get the lay of the land, but a map is less effort, so she'll be watching this attempt curiously... until that happens, anyway. Seeing his face wrench like that, it pulls a chuckle from her.]

Ooh, too bad. That looked like it might have been useful.

[paciscere]

Well, that's unfortunate.

[ matoba says, but the bright smile on his face suggests otherwise. ]

Are you always that careless?

[theserpentsmiles]

[IN CONTRAST TO EVERYONE ELSE Nagisa is actually going to be helpful and stop on his way back into the motel to help gather those back together.]

Here- I think we can put it back together. [Whatever 'it' was, it was (maybe?) important.]
