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.

I think we're all a little confused right now. But that's a relief!

If nothing else, it seems we got here unharmed.

Ah... Yeah. You're right.

[ A nervous smile rises to his face. He does have various cuts and scrapes and bruises...but none of them are new. That's all that really matters there. ]

But...where is here...?
sastruga: (003)

[personal profile] sastruga 2022-06-16 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
That is a good question. The note I received called this place "New Rapture", but... I can't say I've heard of any place like that before.

It doesn't ring any bells for you, either?
withagun: (when those who make it in this age)

[ Hodaka shakes his head. ]

Me neither. It sounds...honestly, kind of...creepy. Even if we weren't kidnapped.

It is unsettling, yes. But so far, at least, we don't appear to be in any immediate danger. That's a start, at least.
withagun: (is this a yearning‚ is this love?)

[personal profile] withagun 2022-06-19 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah- you're right again... [ He forces a smile. ] Maybe...I should try thinking a bit more like that, on the bright side.

[ hahahahahahah- ]

Um. I'm Hodaka. Morishima Hodaka. You are...?

Asahina Mafuyu. It's nice to meet you, Morishima-san.

Don't worry. We'll make it out of here with all of us in one piece, definitely.

[D... Definitely......]
withagun: (ever since the day i met you)

[personal profile] withagun 2022-06-19 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Def...initely.... ]

Yeah...! Yeah, I- hope so.

[ What a positive girl! ]
sastruga: (002)

[personal profile] sastruga 2022-06-19 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
That's no good, Morishima-san. You can't just hope for it, you have to believe in it to make it happen.

Alright?
withagun: (you are the reason)

[personal profile] withagun 2022-06-19 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ !!! ]

A- alright!! I- believe we'll all make it out of here in one piece, Asahina-san...!!
sastruga: (018)

[personal profile] sastruga 2022-06-19 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes!

[She smiles brightly at him.]

There, see? Don't you feel more confident already?
withagun: (today once in a thousand years)

[personal profile] withagun 2022-06-19 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Y-yeah... [ See, at first he just says it to be cooperative, but when he thinks for a moment? ] ...Yeah. Yeah! I do, actually! Wow!

Sometimes you just have to say it first, to make it become real.

[Fake it till you make it!]
withagun: (for that dream to come true)

[personal profile] withagun 2022-06-21 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
I guess I'll have to try that more often. Thank you, Asahina-san.
