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.

[ She doesn't quite jerk away from him – it'd be terribly unladylike, after all – but there's a certain sharpness to the way she pulls her arm back that makes the don't touch me subtext clear as day. ]

I'm– yes, I'm fine. [ She lets herself take a moment to hold a breath and then let it back out, slowly, in some hopes of regaining her composure. ] I didn't realize you were making your way inside.

[ She was uhhhh kind of in a hurry. Or a state. One or the other. ]

[He doesn't seem offended, at least, and instead raises both hands to show they're empty and unthreatening.]

No harm done. I guess I should try to make more noise when I walk. [Haha. No, he won't. Obi considers the way she looks for a moment, then steps aside, gesturing back the way he came.] I didn't explore much, since I don't wanna miss meeting this "Mayor" person. But there's a garden right out front, for what it's worth.

[Lots of people he knows find gardens soothing or grounding. Even if it's still kind of oppressive, what with the ocean pressing down instead of the open sky, maybe this girl's the type to appreciate some plant life, too?]
