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.

Yes. Don't blame yourself for anything. Dracula routinely deceives people. I'm not aware what's your relationship with him, but I'm ninety percent certain you're not at fault.

[She's not sure how much she should say and how much to stay quiet about, but hey, given her job, it's not unfeasible she knows about a renowned criminal, she figures]

I was sent to help him with his move to England. The locals tried to warn me about him but I didn't listen. Oh, why on Earth would I have any reason to doubt those people?

[God he was a famous monster and he blindly let himself into his home.]

Just make sure you won't make the same mistake in the future ever again.

[Well, this advice would be better if the Dracula stuff wasn't such a horrible adventure, really]

Sorry, it was foolish of me, I know.

[Jonathan looks downcast, rubbing his shoulder as he does so.]

[This man's temperament doesn't seem jaded in the slightest despite the experience, hmmmm...]

You would do well to seek therapy once you return home. Take care of yourself.

[He doesn't sound particularly comforted by this statement.]

Yes, I... suppose I'll likely need to go to an asylum for awhile after this. I suppose they will all think I'm mad if I told them a single thing about my trip.
