Darius awakens from his slumber. His first thought: Why am I still wearing my jacket?
His second: Where the hell am I?
He smells the breakfast laid out in front of him. His stomach growls, but he is wary. Something is not right. Bacon can wait for now.
He notices the card immediately, the writing calling out to his eyes. He gets out of bed and walks to the wardrobe, his curiosity getting the better of him. But before he reads the note, his hand suddenly flies to his pocket on impulse.
Ah. The Book is still there. Marvelous. In retrospect, he realises, I felt it as I stood up. How silly of me.
He checks the remainder of his pockets out of habit. Keys, wallet, mobile phone (dead, damn).
Finally, he gets around to reading the card.
He notices the only oddly out-of-place objects in the room - a pen knife and a black plastic handle on top of one of the nightstands. What could they be for? He pockets them and flicks through the Bible briefly, before placing it back down on the nightstand.
He glances at the window and notices the bars immediately. Less than immediately however, he catches a glimpse of his reflection, and is shocked to see a metallic collar around his neck. What is this?! A motel with bars? A neck collar? This Card may not be as ludicrous as it first seemed! ...In which case the door is likely locked. I should check my surroundings first, perhaps I'll find something useful, like a weapon.
He then begins to systematically search the room.
He first attempts to search the wardrobe. He sees the vault and takes a note of the coathangers - perhaps they will come in useful later.
He then searches inside the two nightstands (if they have drawers), and looks under the bed.
OOC: Let me know if I'm doing too many actions in one post, I'm partly trying to catch up and partly aware of time constraints that will come up in the next couple days. Hopefully not too much!

Some kind of game? How unnerving. And yet... exciting. Who is this Leon Tar? I don't recall ever meeting him.The Card said:"The story is simple and the goal is plain, but from where you move from the start in this game, may end just the same.
You'll awake in a location from which you must escape somehow, with resources and other people to be found.
Little plaques or pieces of paper will show a goal, to escape an area free and whole.
Their will be challenges and danger, some normal others stranger, and things may get difficult to comprehend, and not all will survive in the end.
So good luck to you and what you do, a reward of Life, Liberty, and Lost to those who remain true."
-You Gracious Host
Leon Tar
P.S You can try to escape before we start, though be warned if you are faint of heart.
