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.

hall of founders
Hodaka's waterlogged sneakers have finally stopped squeaking and instead echo on the tile, making it very difficult for him to remain invisible, unseen, silent, as he inches his way out. ]
A- good time, miss? [ He answers automatically. But what if she's not talking to him? Instantly, Hodaka can feel his ears starting to burn. ] —um. A party. You...think there was a party?
no subject
I guess it depends on what they had in mind for a party, but it's possible. Though I'm not sure which ones normally entail managing to take out statues.
[ She nods at some of the busted pedestals. ]
no subject
Oh... A wild party. Or...
[ And he gulps. ]
no subject
I don't think we need to worry about any kind of repeats, at least for now. This atrium is a mess, but the rest of what's open seems to be untouched. Unless someone here decides to start taking things that aren't tied down, I guess.
no subject
...I don't really care whatever happened as long as...we can get out of here.
[ It's said with all the honesty of a kid. What happened here? No interest. ]
no subject
I wouldn't worry too much about it right now. Something will turn up eventually. Something usually always does.
[ That's like, supernatural romcom hijinks rule number one. ]
no subject
"Something"...? Like whoever looted this place?
no subject
Or perhaps some way out of this. Maybe even both?
[ She shrugs. ]
Something, at the very least. I doubt their plan is just to leave us in a confined area and expect us to kill each other on cue.
no subject
Kill...? [ His voice wavers, just a bit. ] You, uh... You don't think...those things were like...real, right?
no subject
The issue is less of whether they're real, and more of whether someone else thinks they are.
[ She pauses. Maybe this is getting a little too doomsday-y... ]
But everyone is likely just as confused as we are, so I doubt anything will happen. I'm sure our "beloved" Mayor will be able to shed some light on everything.
no subject
Hodaka gulps. ]
Rig- right. Right! We don't...know anything. No one's gonna...overreact like that.
