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.

Oh. Okay, then...
[ He doesn't know what to do in this kind of situation. He doesn't— ah, wait. ] Did... Does that mean...you've spoken to...a lot of other people?
no subject
no subject
Was... Did you get their names? Was any one of them a girl around my age named Hina Amano?
no subject
I don't believe so. This seems to be information on the people gathered here.
[He gestures to said profiles. Feel free to double check!]
no subject
Oh. Ah... Well, thank you... W- wait, information?
[ Hodaka shuffles up to the wall. This is clearly his first time seeing the profiles. ]
no subject
[While Rossiu may not exactly like his, it isn't really wrong, so he looks over the profiles again in silence.]
no subject
Research... What a joke. [ His voice is tight. ] There's...no way...
no subject
[It doesn't seem inaccurate from the reaction...]
no subject
It just... Something that...just happened. There's no way. No way, anyone could...just know.
no subject
[And yet it's there for everyone to see...]
It would seem there's far more to this situation. Perhaps our captor will provide some answers whenever they make their demands known.
no subject
...What d'they... I'm no one to kidnap. I've...got nothing to...
[ Sorry, Rossiu. Give him just a minute. ]
no subject
[Given the setup of this place, they likely don't need ransom money anyway...]
We should hear from this "Mayor" soon. That will hopefully make things clear.
no subject
What... Do you have any... Any ideas...?
no subject
no subject
[ But Hodaka trails off. He's trying to think, to help, but right now it's a little difficult. ]
...I don't get it. I don't get it at all.
no subject
Let's try to remain calm for now. We may get some more information soon.
no subject
[ He says, but he feels not at all calm. He feels like he's about to start running through the halls to find- something, anything, to tell him how to get out of here.
But he lets out a breath and nods. It doesn't do anything to soothe his nerves, but it does lead him to remember something he hasn't done yet, something important. ]
Uh... Thank... Thank you, sir. Mr, um... My name is Hodaka, you are...?
