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.

Maybe. Though, they can always decide it'll be more entertaining to watch us all run around like rats.

[ He is hoping for that not to be the case, and then for them to show their faces for like. Obvious reasons, though. ]

[Murdery reasons.]

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.]

Yes, it would eventually quickly turn into survival of the fittest.

[ ...he sounds particularly unconcerned about that. Because clearly he is the strongest. ]

[...i mean. yeah rossiu has no doubts about that?? you and the guy in the armor and the robot can fight for who is the strongest while the rest of us die immediately.]

Indeed. I would hope that we can avoid reaching that point.

[ Oh my god. ]

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. ]

It does seem pointless to bring us all here and set it up this way if the goal is simply for most of us to die.

[Why not just kill us while we were being placed into our individual rooms? Why bother with this setup to begin with?]

...Yes. They're more like a would-be carnivore who would want to play with its food without realizing the danger.

[ In other words, the reason eludes him by a longshot. ]

It certainly is possible that it's simply ego or... like you said, wanting to toy with us. But I imagine there's more to it, and I intend to find out exactly what's going on here.

[good luck with that one, rossiu!!!!]

[ Ganbatte Rossiu indeed. ]

I'll be looking forward to it. The more we know, the more weaknesses we can...exploit.
