WEEK ZERO: ARRIVAL

[retellers]

WEEK ZERO: ARRIVAL (43 remain) Whatever each character was doing—chatting with friends, going to bed, saving the world—ceases. In fact, it's likely nothing more than a groggy memory now, as they open their eyes to unfamiliar surroundings. Apparently, they took a nap right in the middle of a small town, plopped outside on the paved road. Ow? Oh, but it looks like they've been given a goodie bag. Everyone likes gifts, right? Inside, it contains: - a single random one of the following headbands and sparklers - packets of tea - one unlabeled pill - a rock that resembles the galaxy - if they're of age, a mini bottle of alcohol; if they're underage, a can of Mountain D*w Baja Blast instead - a singular condom - a single random one of these pillows (how did this fit?) - a handheld device Should they boot up the device, the screen helpfully informs them that it's a Participant Help System (PHS). Not much on it, but it does have a few apps, including a memo one for taking notes. There's also a messaging system, though it's only capable of receiving messages, not sending any. As a matter of fact, there's an alert for a new message already. Maybe it'll explain what's going on. Good evening, everyone. Uh, how are we sure they’re arriving in the evening? Just say “hello”! Or “greetings”! Greetings is fancy, right? Oh that’s true. Greetings, everyone. That’s better? Yes! Except maybe we take out the that’s better part in the final version. Will do! We’re sorry that we’re not here jklk oh no how do i erase what i wrote. Where is the question mark. Help press backspace. What is a backspace it’s written on the keyboard. Do you even know how to read? right now. There are a lot of things happening that’s so vague? Could we maybe TRY to not be ominous, guys??, It’s going to be ominous no matter what we say, so who cares so we need time to best prepare for you all. We will greet you properly soon, so please make yourselves at home! There are a lot of places to explore, and the kitchen has a lot of delicious food. Please don’t be shy, but also, don’t damage anything. It’s a little inconvenient. They’re going to do it just because you sound so fucking whiny. I’m sorry oh this is how you write somewhere else. Please do not fight or do. We don’t control your life choices. No please do not fight how do i make an exclamation mark maybe we should’ve gotten someone else to write the draft of the message? No offense. I’m sorry Sorry stop apologizing. No one else volunteered. Maybe we’ll luck out and none of them know how to read Thank you for your time! We’ll see you soon. Also, we promise you haven’t been kidnapped or anything! Oh dear. I don’t know if this is going to be edited, so if it isn’t, then I do apologize to the participants for our lack of organization. We’re doing our best! Probably. Er, what? Unfortunately, it seems as though that's the only info they're given for now. In the meantime, why not explore the surrounding area? A number of buildings are locked, and the Planetarium appears to be closed, but there's enough to keep the characters occupied for a day or two. They might even want to get to know their fellow "participants" better, while they're at it.

Hm? Oh, yeah, huh. But it's just so funny, you know? Ah! Look, your face is all red! How cute~

[ Waking up and having to type like Kano is the worst, somebody save me ]

[sacredchants]

[ you did this to yourself. you only have yourself to blame. but wow, shame that izumo isn't remotely close to kano because she would swipe at him. instead she'll just take a step back from him while trying to cover her face. ]

Sh, shut up!

[suddenlybees]

[ She could always give him her shoe. It's a good opportunity just now, when Kano's too busy laughing to shut up. ]

Aah, no good, no good~ You super remind me of somebody, like that! She was super cute too, just like that!

[sacredchants]

[ wow i didn't think i'd need to use this icon so soon but here we are. also she's taking even more steps back and a mess. THANKS KANO.

is she going to slip and fall into the river? boy i hope she isn't. ]

N, n, no one asked you for your opinion about any of this!

[suddenlybees]

[ please

At least Kano doesn't take a step forward, though he does shove his hands into his hoodie pockets and rocks forward on his heels in glee ]

Aw, and here I was tryin'a keep my opinions to myself! I got a lot of 'em, you know? Wanna hear them?

[sacredchants]

[ good. if he's not advancing on her any further then she'll make a valiant attempt to regain any kind of dignity that she can possibly muster. ]

Even if I said no, I'd bet you'd still tell me.

[suddenlybees]

[ Impossible. All dignity has already evaporated on the spot. ]

Yep! You got it! So, like, your throwing arm? Wowee!

[ That kimono must've been heavy??? It really gained some mileage there. ]

[sacredchants]

[ here you go!! ]
