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.

[from here--]

[I deeply respect your honesty siz, what a mood]

Ohhhhh... okay, yeah, that is kinda far!

Well, this place definitely isn't there, and it definitely isn't Tokyo... maybe the rules are different?

Come on, let's go take a peek behind the desk! [She will tug at his uniform sleeve to get him to follow.]

[exercisms]

[Listen there just isn't any canon on it okay it's a fictional non-Tokyo city in Japan.

Anyway, he will follow. He will peak with her.]

[heartablaze]

[no judgement here, god knows I have no idea where her school or home is other than "vaguely waves around tokyo"

She's cautious, as though she expects someone to be hiding behind the service desk to jump out and go "boo." Of course, this doesn't happen - it's a lot of empty paperwork and odds and ends, but not much else. The cash register is all closed up, too.]

Hm. It's so empty....

Is this what it's supposed to look like??

[exercisms]

Um. . .

[He doesn't know? He has zero idea?]

[heartablaze]

You dunno either, huh?

[She huffs out a breath towards the empty desk space as she crosses her arms, puzzled.]

Mmm... why didn't they leave a note or something??? This is super weird.

I know you had a lot of stuff, but I dunno if we'll be able to pay for anything right now... and I think just taking it is gonna be a bad idea.

[exercisms]

[Shaking his head rapidly.]

I wouldn't just take them. I can wait to get them until somebody comes back.

[heartablaze]

Yeah. It really stinks, but I think that'll be a good idea to wait.

What did you find, anyway? I saw you had a hat or something... what are all those little things?
