WEEK ZERO: ARRIVAL (OVERFLOW)

[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.

[yamantaka]

[ i go away for a day and this is what happens also original thread here ]

Sora

[yamantaka]

It needs to be a really cute one too! So we can share.

[ with cute girls

i hate this ]

[reconnective]

[I'm crying, please, someday, say this out loud because unfortunately sora's answer is:]

Yeah, that's a great idea! I'm sure there are plenty of people around who'd want some. As long as it's big enough to share we can make that happen.

[shima: CUTE GIRLS
sora: new friends?

great.]

[yamantaka]

[ I MEAN. cute girls are friends. just. special friends. very special friends

i'm sorry if i make this pure disney boy learn new things ]

We can make it as big as we need it to be.

[ ...i. yeah. this was innuendo ]

[reconnective]

[i have such immense regrets.]

You think so? It can't be that hard, I guess.

Raven

[yamantaka]

Just one of those things, you know? They tell you to stay out, but it makes you want to go in more.

[laid]

Ya grow outta that impulse long before you get ta be my age, kiddo.

[Thus why he is just lying down on a couch.]

[yamantaka]

Is it all that useful to grow out of it?

[laid]

Of course it is. You get into a lot less trouble that way.

Kano

[yamantaka]

[ FINALLY SOME SERVICE ]

I had some questions! Firstly, do you serve breakfast, and if so, what time?

[suddenlybees]

[ YEAH, YOU'RE WELCOME FOR THE SERVICE ]

And I have answers! Breakfast is 5:30 AM to 8 AM and if you're late, you have to lick the leftovers from whatever's left in the sink!

[yamantaka]

[ NO MORE NEED TO CALL THE MANAGER ]

What's served during breakfast?

[suddenlybees]

[ Kano is the manager now. ]

Eggs, coffee, sugar, cream, Keebler, and your choice of green, grey, and red tea.

Rufus

[yamantaka]

Are you the owner of this establishment?

[ SMILE SMILE ]

[soulus]

No, but I heard the call of the bell. Is there something you need?

[yamantaka]

Just wondering if we could get anybody to come right now and answer some questions.

[soulus]

You rang the bell for some time. Are you finished wondering?

Alex

[yamantaka]

[ bb ur the only sugar i need ]

Oh! That's definitely an idea! [ setting down the bread to get sugar ]

Is there anything you like?

[chanteuser]

[ 911 yes, hello? ]

I'm alright with just the coffee for the moment. Too much to think about to have much of an appetite.

[yamantaka]

[ are you a traffic ticket, because you got fine written all over you ]

Haah, I get it! Just lemme know if ya want something, I'd get you something if you wanted.

Hansa

[yamantaka]

It's just the way of nature, don't you think?

Ryan Reynolds

[yamantaka]

Can you stop now?

[ he cares about you, strange yellow rodent ]

Shiro

[yamantaka]

Took me by surprise. Honestly, it felt like him marrying a sister...

[ and HE GROANS ]

They're pregnant! I was already too young to be an uncle for Jun-nee's kids, but now there's gonna be another!

[ I CAN'T PICK UP CHICKS AS AN UNCLE ]

[lionson]

Are you kidding? Chicks dig responsible guys! You're a bit too young for the 'single father' angle, but if you're carrying around a baby and being a good uncle then the girls will flock to you.

[yamantaka]

...

[ A WHOLE NEW WORLD HAS BEEN OPENED ]

Wait, seriously?!
