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.

... Is that the planet you reside on? Misfire?

No. But, close, close! That's my name.

[He sounds like he's talking to a child. If Jonathan were less sweet of a boy he should punch him for being condescending.]

Planet-wise, eh, that's a bit messier. I'm not much one for "permanent residency". You can't keep this 'bot tied down.

[It's code for 'I haven't been back on cybertron for thousands of years and at this point I'm too afraid to'.]

You... you are not dangerous though, right?

[He feels silly asking that but he had to check just in case.]

Only if I’ve got a gun in my hand and you’re not the guy I’m aiming at.

[Words that are sure to put anyone at ease.]

[He's just going to

Take a few steps back.]


I assume you don't shoot anyone you come across though, right?

War’s over. We don’t do that anymore.

[Is this helping Jon.]

Unless I’ve got good reason. …Or feel like it. But I’d say that falls under ‘pretty good reason’.

[He laughs. He’s joking. Probably?]

[Okay yeah Jonathan's just going to

Turn to leave now.]


Well, it was fancy meeting you, but I suddenly remembered that I have very important business to attend to.
dullshooter: (smugfire)

[personal profile] dullshooter 2022-06-16 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
Right, yeah, of course.

[Misfire nods.]

Your very important business. That you’ve got to do. Whilst we’re trapped in the undersea hotel.

[He grins, knowingly, but keeps nodding.]

Better go do that.

[Gently walking faster.]

I sure will, it'll nothing worth upsetting anyone about!
