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.

[ Vholran will not praise them for their efforts, even if he too can imagine some might be at least a decent level of 'appeased' by the generous selection. ]
But, they'll be lacking something else by the end of this.
no subject
I do hope we're able to determine how to return home quickly. I imagine all of us have something important to return to.
no subject
Or at least Vholran is confident enough of that. ]
We can determine that easily by interrogation.
[ Yeah because that's going to be so simple. ]
I for one would be one of those who do have something important to return to, and have no desire to be someone's prisoner.
no subject
[Though it certainly doesn't seem like we're being held for ransom if they're this rich...]
no subject
Vholran suspects that the only way to end this will be shedding some blood. Which suits him just fine, really. ]
They desire something from us...and are desperate to achieve it. Proof of our prison makes that clear enough. They will make it clear soon.
Unless they're the type to twiddle their thumbs aimlessly.
no subject
[But then again, given that one rule... well, all they have to do is keep their silence and wait and someone will break eventually.]
no subject
[ He is hoping for that not to be the case, and then for them to show their faces for like. Obvious reasons, though. ]
no subject
Yes, that is a possibility. One I sincerely hope they do not decide on, because I'm truly not sure how we will manage to keep everyone here from resorting to violence.
[Whether that's violence against the walls, violence against each other, or violence against common sense and decency remains to be seen.]
no subject
[ ...he sounds particularly unconcerned about that. Because clearly he is the strongest. ]
no subject
Indeed. I would hope that we can avoid reaching that point.
no subject
What might be in the favor of that is the fact that, after some consideration, I've a feeling they wouldn't want this to end so soon.
[ Or maybe they do. But if that was the case they'd all be dead right away. ]
no subject
[Why not just kill us while we were being placed into our individual rooms? Why bother with this setup to begin with?]
no subject
[ In other words, the reason eludes him by a longshot. ]
no subject
[good luck with that one, rossiu!!!!]
no subject
I'll be looking forward to it. The more we know, the more weaknesses we can...exploit.
