Week 1 [Day 1-Day 3]

[calloperators]

[After a long stressful day like this has been, maybe you want to curl up in bed and try to sleep this whole thing off, or maybe you stay up all night desperately trying to find a way out of this town. Whether it be asking the cops for help, trying to steal a car, or just simply trying to walk out of town, you will unfortunately find your attempts to escape fruitless.

Even with it being obvious something strange is going on, no one has shown their face yet to even hint that they're the ones behind it. And you have no idea if or when they will.

However, in the very least you have a whole town to explore, and at the start of each day, and the beginning of every night, no matter where you are, you'll suddenly hear a radio crackle to life. Whether this is comforting or unsettling? Well, that's up to you to decide.

Just have a good time and try not think about the letter you got earlier, okay?]

< LOCATIONS | REGAINS | TAKEN >

[ DAY 1 (SUNDAY) || NIGHT 1 (MONDAY) || DAY 2 (TUESDAY) || NIGHT 2 (WEDNESDAY) || DAY 3 (THURSDAY) ]
((OOC: Welcome to Week 1 of Hotline! As you can probably tell by the fact that Day 2 and beyond are frozen, we will have no grace week so we can get right into the murder!

And if you want to investigate the town, you just need to write INVESTIGATION in your header! Have fun ;) ))

...I doubt they'd hand over a weapon you could easily kill someone by mistake so easily, especially if you don't know how to wield one.

[ At the very least, he recognizes that it's a gun and boy, those are not newbie-demonstration friendly. Testament is not surprised if the employee is Beyond Tired due to all of this. ]

[iote]

All weapons can be used in such a way, especially by those who don't know how. I fail to see why this is any different.

[...he has literally no context for guns whatsoever.]

[seventhsign]

[ ...Well then.

At least he's met people who haven't seen the barrel of a gun in their lives before. Even if it's been some time. ]

Perhaps for bladed weapons and blunt objects, but for firearms, not so much.

The weapons they sell here can easily blow someone's head or limbs clean off if the firepower is great - and even if it weren't, being hit by a bullet is much more difficult to deal with than with let's say an arrow or knife. Even a small gun would have recoil.

Anyone wielding it with no experience is bound to cause an accident, and I doubt that it'd be a small one.

[iote]

[Mm. Okay, it's likely obvious that he's at least trying to make connections here, even if they're antequated and a bit...odd; he's not just blowing the explanation off, even if his demeanor might make him seem the sort who might.]

...You make them sound as though they're some sort of...handheld ballistic weaponry? They don't seem large enough to have any sort of power at all, if that's the case.

[seventhsign]

[ That's always a good sign. ]

That'd be an apt comparison.

With the advancement of human technology, it's been made possible for something relatively small to hold enough power to be dangerous. Even if it sounds like it should be impossible.

[iote]

...Magic of some sort?

[seventhsign]

[ ... ]

No. It's a complete technological invention, with no magic involved - it's all just mostly metal and gunpowder, to put it simply.

[iote]

I see.

[He really, really doesn't see.]

Ballistae have never interested me, anyway. Handheld or otherwise.
