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 ;) ))

[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.

[advancements]

Did they assume you were somehow going to manage to hurt yourself with that?

[Or were they worried about other people??]

[iote]

...I'm not certain. I believe it was both myself and everyone within striking distance.

[advancements]

I doubt your aim is that terrible.

[iote]

...Thank you for your confidence.

[advancements]

You're welcome.

[Anyway.]

Let me know if you ever do get a chance to test one of these out. I'd like to see how they work.

[iote]

I was told something about metal and some kind of powder. That's the most I know.

[......]

Either way, I have more than enough weapons now, so I shouldn't require it.

[...Thanks, Pyro. If someone gets set on fire this week he's gonna scream.]

[advancements]

Oh? Did you find a store that sells them?

[Or did you finally figure out how to use that terrible thing you were given??]

[iote]

As far as I can tell, this is the store that sells them.

Someone gave me a few things, that's all.

[advancements]

Ah, I see.

[Well, it's a bit disappointing that this is the only store...]

Have you found anything else particularly interesting here?
