And with the sweat of your brow...
Fun Fact: Did you know that if the multiverse is real, there could be an almost infinite square mileage of completely unexplored ocean out there?
No reason.
...
You wake in one of 25 rooms with a sense of unease that doesn't quite track with how nice the accommodations are. Maybe it has something to do with the giant window leading out to the sea. The temperature is low, which might make you wish you had woken up under the luxurious covers instead of atop them. The lights, too, are low. But next to your bed is a small personal radio, and it's playing a song for you. There's also a small note printed on folded cardstock next to it.
Dear Prospective Citizen,
Welcome to the Helios Suites at New Rapture. The time should currently be 12:00 PM. Please take a moment to get your bearings and become acquainted with your new environment, then meet in the hotel lobby at 1:30 PM sharp for an orientation with Mayor Fontaine.
With only that for guidance, there's only the one thing to do: get out there and start exploring... well, it's hardly a full city, but it's something! And in the halls (or on the wall of your suite or the lobby), you very well may find up to 24 other captives.
What you do until your meeting with Mayor Fontaine, well... that's up to you. Every room certainly gives you something to talk about.
No reason.

teen girl suite
[There's a moment where they both seem almost frozen, neither expecting another girl in their face so suddenly. One beat. Two.
Then Mafuyu remembers herself. Smiling sympathetically.]
Sorry, you surprised me! I guess I should have expected to see more people here.
no subject
She has the self awareness to realize that should be relatively low on her list of priorities, at least, and after a moment she gives her head a little shake. Just to steady herself. Then – ]
When you say 'expected'... you mean to say you knew there would be people other than yourself in this same situation?
no subject
[And she steps back a little, to gesture at the profiles displayed there.]
I was only just looking at these. It seems there's a lot of people involved in this. It certainly is elaborate.
There must be people in the other rooms, too.
no subject
She swallows hard and hastily pulls her gaze to Mafuyu, if only for something more neutral to look at. ]
I can't imagine anyone would be able to arrange for a... confinement of this many people. Certainly not without help.
no subject
Someone may have made a mistake and taken the wrong group.
[She says it not with confidence, but a healthy amount of denial. It's only to be expected, though. She's just a normal girl - just a student. These sorts of things are beyond her.]
...Sorry, I'm just thinking out loud. Making random guesses isn't very helpful, is it?
