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.

[The admission comes a little easier as he starts to relax a bit.]
It was just a bit alarming at first, when I wasn't sure where it was going.
no subject
[That's what Brett's mind caught on, of course - but he doesn't know enough about elevators to think of a way to get to those floors that doesn't sound super dangerous.]
no subject
[He's heard about that sort of thing - how could he not? - but he's never had it happen to him before; creepy.]
I'm not sure who would want to do this to us. All of this.
no subject
[He leans forward a little, resting his chin on his folded arms.]
Definitely not any who could pull this off.
no subject
I... Well, I certainly have enemies, and this isn't my first time being abducted, but none that I know of would be capable of this. All of this is a little beyond us.

[Just normal stuff like brigands!]
I'm sorry, that's just...that's a lot.
no subject
Oh! No, it's all right. Or... Well, at least, I don't mind speaking about it. It was unfortunate when it happened, but my father rescued me. We're closer now for it. So it all worked out.
no subject
[Hey, as long as it's not a lingering trauma or anything?]
I'm sure we can all find a way out of this one too. There's a lot of us here.
no subject
[Mm.]
I'll do my best to not be so despondent in future; hopefully things will become less overwhelming as we go.

no subject
[And that's when he seems to realize, and wow, um, okay, hang on- ]
Oh! My name is Forrest, of the kingdom of Nohr. Might I ask...?
no subject
[Which sounds a lot less interesting! But whatever!]
no subject
[Huh.]
Though that may be my own fault, I've been fairly sheltered for most of my life...
