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

a rock that resembles the galaxy

a single random one of these pillows

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.

[ from the depths of the bag, the resulting: ]

Piiiiii.

[ sounds like booing. ]

Not a fan?

(He's not too fussed!)

Look, how about I make it up to you? Let me help you out.

(By seeing what else is in your bag, Pikachu. Is Claude going to steal from a furry mascot character? He's not above it.)

[ well, it's mostly junk, like a pretty rock, a singular pill and a condom, but also, WOW, it's HIS junk? pikachu is tugging at it. hey. what are you doing. how is this helping. ]

Pikaaa.

(Another rock, a ??? thing in a wrapper, and another pill. The pill might be worth keeping but there are other things!!!)

Is this all you have? (And he's looking around them now! He knows he saw some things on the ground earlier,) You wouldn't happen to have any tea lying around, would you?

(He's helping? Can you even drink tea???)

[ oh this guy wants tea? well, that's fine. tea is disgusting. he has to hop over a few feet to get to the Rampage of tea packets on the ground, but they're all there! he points at them helpfully ]

Pikapika?

(I just want to note for everyone who was judging Claude for stealing from Pikachu that hE'S BEING GIVEN THE TEA WILLINGLY)

Thanks.

(Why is he talking to a giant yellow hamster.)

I guess you won't really be needing these...

(Just going to pick those up!!)

You know, you're pretty cute. What are you? Some sort of native creature to this land?

(Also glancing around.... where's the booze, Pikachu.)

[ the booze is behind pikachu. claude will have to ask for the booze if he wants it too, because pikachu is starting to pick up his stuff again. lord knows if any of it is useful but he might as well use it.

but the question is easy enough to answer: ]

Pikachu! [ then he gestures around himself and. shakes his head. he is not from here! probably. that's nowhere near what the hat says and the hat has never lead him astray sooo. ]

(I cant believe Pikachu has booze)

Pika, pii. Pika chu. Is that all you can say? (Is that like??? His call?? Alright. Valid.) I can't believe I'm talking to a mouse like this...

Heh, guess Marianne is rubbing off on me.

(Just. Talking to himself.)

You seem pretty intelligent. (Which checks out because mice are pretty smart. Anyway, he's helping out? Just going to slide Pikachu the rock and the condom and all of the small things lying around...) ... Do you understand me?

[ he's an adult, he deserves booze. mountain dew is for children. he'll gladly grab the stuff claude is sliding him, diligently putting it back where he found it. except the tea, he can have that.

but since he so RUDELY called him out on only saying pikachu (it's not HIS fault claude doesn't speak pokemon!!!) he will nod in answer to his question first ]

Pikapi. [ a thumbs up. he totally gets you! too bad you don't. humans are dumb. ]
