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 ;) ))

...There's food constantly available in various places, which strikes me as both strange and completely wasteful, though not worth complaining about.

[...Again, though, his country has had it kind of rough...]

[advancements]

It is a bit strange to see so much of it. This area certainly seems to be very wealthy.

[Nohr's not as bad, but it's nowhere near as great as Hoshido, so he kinda gets it.]

[iote]

[...He knows that being able to understand this sort of thing is inherently not good, because of the circumstances that it implies.

He's grateful for the understanding anyway.]

It does seem it. I have to wonder what their leadership is like.

[advancements]

I'm curious about that as well. I haven't heard anything about it.

[iote]

From the sound of it we're in the United States - which tells me almost nothing, though I believe it's some sort of militaristic dictatorship.

[...this is why we don't let the guy with no context for anything try to gather information.]

[advancements]

[oh my god]

Is it? What have you learned about it?

[iote]

Not much else. I'm not sure who I should start asking.

[HE HAS BEEN. TRYING.]

[advancements]

It does seem like most of the people here won't carry on a conversation. I haven't been able to get anyone to talk.

[iote]

I suppose we can try to take answers by force. If they won't speak, make them.

[Torture, hell...yeah...?]

[advancements]

I would prefer it not to take answers by force. It's possible I just haven't found the right people to talk to yet.

[oh my god no???? do not???]

[iote]

It's possible, but we also don't have infinite time.

[advancements]

I know.

[He definitely knows...]

With any luck we'll be able to learn more without resorting to extreme methods to get them to talk.

[iote]

Perhaps. Though if we haven't been successful by now, I can't say I know what will make them spontaneously decide to cooperate.

[advancements]

True. We'll have to see how things go.

[iote]

And when will you consider a more forceful course of action to be acceptable? Once we begin dying?

[advancements]

[oh my god. why are you like this. what is wrong with you.]

That isn't a course of action I'm going to consider.

[iote]

I refuse to play around with this, Xander. Once people start dying, that's when my patience runs out. I don't care what I have to do to get answers then.

Our lives are worth more than their silence.

[advancements]

[...]

We don't even know if they'll have answers. It's possible they're keeping things from us, but it's equally possible that they don't know anything of value to us. What do you plan to do if you can't get the answers you need from them?

[iote]

I'll cross that bridge if I come to it. I'm not saying that I'll be indiscriminate.

[advancements]

I see.

...I'll take my leave here. Good day, Michalis.

[iote]

[you know he can always tell when you've hit your threshold for how much of his shit you're willing to tolerate in any one sitting

good to know you'll be transparent about it he supposes]
