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 ;) ))

[...It's a good thing we're agreeing on keeping our general training up, we are getting introduced to so many things that are terrible for you and it's all inexpensive and available?

Like, god help us the day we properly explore the McDonalds.]

Did someone show you this, or did you find it on your own? I've found Kimberly to be a useful person when it comes to explanations.

[advancements]

[rest in peace, guys.]

She has explained quite a few things to me as well, though it was actually Pyro who introduced me to Skittles.

[iote]

I see.

[He doesn't sound like he thinks that's bad or anything, just kinda...]

Pyro... They're an interesting person.

[advancements]

Yes, they are. They also introduced me to a small device that can create fire, which they're apparently quite fond of.

[No judgement here, one of his retainers is Peri, he's used to people being at least mildly crazy around him.]

[iote]

They've given me several things along those lines; they like to share fire with people.

...They told me they do mercenary work, where they "share" fire with people. The screams are a sign that they must be enjoying it.

[...yeah.]

[advancements]

...I see.

[oh my god.]

They certainly are a unique individual...

[iote]

They seem very...young to me, I suppose. Talking to them is similar to handling a child in some ways.

[That's sort of an asshole thing to say, but he doesn't seem to regret saying it, either.]

I find them about as likeable as anyone else here. It's just a bit strange.

[advancements]

[Yeah, it's an asshole thing to say, but it's true...]

That's the impression I've gotten as well. It's a bit odd, but not something I find off-putting.

[pyro's good people.]

[iote]

[He's glad to know it's not just him thinking that. But yes, Pyro is good people. ...They hugged him earlier, which is weird, but you know what, it wasn't as intolerable as it could have been.]

Likewise. I do find them cause for concern after the...phone call we received earlier, but I imagine none of us were pleased with that.

[advancements]

Agreed, I think we're all a little wound up after that.

[iote]

I ignored it for a while, but I heard it earlier this evening.

[...]

What do you make of it?

[advancements]

I suspect it's something to unsettle and upset us, though I can't say for sure. It could just be a reminder that they're keeping an eye on us.

[iote]

...Perhaps so.

[Still...]

I admit I'm not certain what they would try to take from me, if anything.

[advancements]

Perhaps the next call will be more obvious with their threats.

[He sounds so done.]

[iote]

[Maybe. Either way, he's currently got more candy than god and he seems pretty okay with that, honestly...]

I'm seeing what else is constantly open here. You can join me if you want.

[advancements]

[That's the best way to do it, actually hang on, let him grab some more Skittles.]

Of course. It would be good to have an idea of what we can access when.

[Ready to head out?]

[iote]

[Let's go.]

Perhaps I'll show you the weapons, while we're out here. They're visible through the windows.

[advancements]

I'm very curious about them. Lead the way.

[iote]

[Come on, it's over here. Look at this bullshit?? This is bullshit.]

Tell me you have any idea what these are supposed to do.

[advancements]

[...

.........

???]

I've never seen anything like this before. Are they really weapons?

[iote]

Handheld ballistae, apparently. Somehow.

[advancements]

Handheld...? Really? These hardly look like they're capable of something like that...

[iote]

I said that very thing myself. I still don't know how they work because no one would allow me to use one.

[FOR SOME GODDAMN REASON.]

[advancements]

They wouldn't let you test it out? Why not?

[iote]

Apparently they're deadly. Which is the primary point of weapons, but no one listened to me in that regard.
