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.

[ Floyd snickers, his own sharp grin widening as Nandor denies his age. ]

Uh-huh, suuure~. Don't worry about it- I'm pretty sure I've met people older than you.

[ Lilia never lets anyone in on his actual age, but he definitely talks as if he's been around for hundreds of years. ]

[ In lieu of continuing to deny being old as fuck, he's just silently making this face at Floyd's teeth for a good ten seconds! ]

Your last name is Leech, yes?

[ HE'S CONNECTED THE DOTS (he didn't connect shit) ]
capreelcious: (life's looking)

[ Oh my god. Floyd's eyebrow perks up a bit. ]

Yeah, why?
fuckingguy: (i like the sushi)

It just feels like you should maybe not run around making wild accusations. You know... all things considered.
capreelcious: (shall we say)

1/2

...

[ He lets this process for a moment... ]
capreelcious: (life's looking)

2/2

[ Floyd just points to his title. Then he points to himself. ]

Eel.
fuckingguy: (the vertigo is gonna show)

also 1/2 but for no good reason

fuckingguy: (gonna make a break and take a fake)

[personal profile] fuckingguy 2022-06-13 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
But your surname is Leech.
capreelcious: (shall we say)

[personal profile] capreelcious 2022-06-13 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He shrugs. ]

Pure coincidence. I guess my parents keep it because it's intimidating or somethin'? I'unno. I'm from the ocean.

[personal profile] fuckingguy 2022-06-14 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. [ He still has many pedantic quibbles with the name thing, and if these weren't extreme circumstances he'd probably just keep on harping on it for no good reason! But these are extreme circumstances, and he wants answers to literally anything around him, so he lets it slide. For now. ] Does that mean you are familiar with this area?
capreelcious: (sad child)

[personal profile] capreelcious 2022-06-14 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmmmnope! And believe me, I definitely took a look outside.

[ He definitely peeked out a couple of windows to see if he could figure out where he was, but this was nothing like home. ]

I dunno these waters at all. This isn't the Coral Sea, that's for sure.

Well, that is a disappointment. Can you at least breathe out there?
capreelcious: (and yet so far)

[personal profile] capreelcious 2022-06-17 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I could've before I got here. And even then, that's a lotta water pressure out there for a silly human body to try and handle.
fuckingguy: (i hope the smoking man's in this one)

[personal profile] fuckingguy 2022-06-19 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I... don't know what that means. But as there is no one else to ask, really, I will take your word for it.
