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?]

[ 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 do agree with you. It would be easier if we could find people who would listen, but it seems that most people here either don't want to, or are incapable of it.

What is a laundromat?

[iote]

The building that's far too bright, where the walls are lined with the large, odd machines. Apparently the machines wash your clothes for you, without you needing to do much to make that happen.

[advancements]

Really? That sounds incredible... I'll have to go see it at some point.

[he's gonna hate it!!]

[iote]

...It's like everything is in this place. Perhaps it's incredible, but it's also loud and gives off an aura of evil.

[technology is scary and thomas edison was a witch.]

[advancements]

Ah, of course. I wonder why everything is so loud... Well, thank you for the warning, I'll be sure to look out for it.

[iote]

I don't know why everyone in this world seems dedicated to creating as much noise as possible. It's constant and frankly it's obnoxious.

There's less of it in here, at least.

[As long as we all agree that we aren't going to fuck with the tv it'll probably be fine.]

[advancements]

[the tv is probably evil, don't touch it!!]

That's good, at least. It certainly is irritating to constantly be surrounded by so much noise, though. I suppose the people here must be used to it, but I can't imagine ever getting used to something like that.

[iote]

I wonder if they enjoy it. Seeing as so much of it is probably music of some sort, I'm guessing that they do.

[advancements]

Perhaps this is the only sort of music they're familiar with. That could explain why it's everywhere.

[iote]

If this is all they have, that's almost pitiable.

[guys seriously what did flock of seagulls ever do to you]

[advancements]

Agreed.

[oh my god.]

I'm glad you found these. I've been hoping to come across weapons of some sort, but I haven't seen anything just yet. These are good enough for now, even if they won't hold up to sparring.

[Which is sort of disappointing, honestly...]

[iote]

...There's a building that sells weaponry here, but it's nothing like I've ever seen. There are a few knives, but those are the only things that were at all familiar.

[advancements]

Oh? What were the other weapons like?

[iote]

...I'll show you later. I want to see what you make of them.

[advancements]

[He's not really sure what to make of that...]

Very well. I'll come with you, whenever you'd like.

[iote]

They won't let you test it or try to figure it out on your own, unfortunately.

[Which sucks, honestly.]

[advancements]

Really? Did you talk to someone who knew what they were, then?

[iote]

...A few people, who were far more useful than the shop owner.

[advancements]

I can't say I'm surprised by that... I'm curious to see just how strange these weapons are.

[iote]

Soon, then.

[...]

We should spar once we have real weapons at our disposal.

[advancements]

I'd like that. I hope we can find some suitable weapons sometime soon.

[iote]

I'm just trying to keep my reflexes up until then. Even if these are far too light, I don't want to be out of practice when I return to Macedon.

[advancements]

That's precisely my thought. With any luck we'll be able to find some suitable weapons, though I'm not entirely sure where to look for them.

[iote]

[...]

Some people received weapons in those boxes of theirs. I've seen some carrying them around.

[advancements]

[He nods at that.]

I received one as well, though it isn't a weapon I'm particularly skilled with. They must have come from somewhere, so I imagine we can find other types of weapons around here.
