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.

[Why does he sound smug about this? You gotta take what you can get, at least.]
There comes a point where the general weirdness of the universe makes anything possible. For better or worse. Usually worse.
But - hey, at least my ‘sudden emergency breakout’ record has been 1 for 1 up until this point, so unless the universe wants to throw a curveball, statistically it’s looking pretty damn good.
[He folds his arms.]
What I want to know is why this Fountain guy would think of kidnapping a decepticon amongst a whole bunch of organics.
no subject
[Boast that 100% escape rate, pal]
Do you hold any information or any technology certain parties would be eager to get their hands onto?
[That's what she suspects about her own situation, at least. She's an excellent piece of tech]
no subject
Huh? Nah, Cybertronian tech isn’t cutting edge anymore. You invade enough planets during your million year civil war, you end up leaving stuff behind. Plus, there’s billions of other deceptions you’d be better off asking than me.
no subject
The AI being skeptic of the robot, haha]
The other possibility is that you were an easy and convenient target for them, and that's the only reason you're here.
no subject
[He's not on Tarn's list as one of the most useless decepticons for nothing.]
What about you? Anything about you that's particularly kidnap-worthy aside from convenience?
no subject
[Even saying this much is probably something she shouldn't do, but perhaps she's feeling a little more at ease with Misfire]
no subject
no subject
[It's kind of painful to want to talk and not be able to due to it maybe being dangerous, especially since she's talking to Misfire]
I'll get in touch with you if I change my mind.
no subject
[He can’t, personally, understand not divulging all personal and sensitive information at first meeting - but he supposes all types are out there.]
Whenever you do, I promise - my lips will be sealed.
[Blatantly untrue]
