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.

Well, at least I can maybe offer advice if you ever need it... Not that I like having experience with killing games.
no subject
[Hopefully. If their captor leaves them alone with no answers then things will go very poorly!!!]
no subject
Gods, I'd love for it to be a joke, you have noooo idea. [Ah.] Well, yeah you do, actually. But you know what I mean.
Seriously though, everything about this is so weird already. They've actually got an underwater city and it's not even Atlantis! Maybe. I'm still not convinced that it's not Atlantis.
no subject
[oh no here we go]
no subject
It's an ancient magical city that sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean aaages ago and no one's been able to find it since. Or so they say. But what if someone actually did find it and repurposed it into this place? Pretty mind-blowing to think about, right?
no subject
[i am so sorry but this is so goddamn funny]
no subject
Exactly! There's like, two, and Atlantis is the more well-known one so naturally this Fontaine guy was gonna go for that.
no subject
[This is a very sound train of logic and not a wild conspiracy theory, idk what you're talking about.]
no subject
[Yes, he wants to feel triumphant about this even though the overall premise is horrifying. He likes to be right.]
no subject
[this is the most innocent question. he'll understand when hagakure starts going on about ghosts later.]
no subject
Don't ask me. They're the ones who don't believe Atlantis exists.
no subject
I suppose they would change their minds after seeing something like this.
no subject
You'd think, but the people in my suite don't even believe it!
no subject
[...Okay, actually.]
Never mind. There are plenty of people here I could see lacking any common sense.
[this is going to be HILARIOUS in hindsight.]
no subject
Right? Well, it's not my problem. They'll see that I'm right sooner or later!
no subject
[it's all of us, actually.]
no subject
Thanks for the chat, man. I'm actually feeling a lot better after talking with you! We should catch up again after the meeting, 'cause who knows how that's gonna turn out...
no subject
I'm pleased I could help in some small way. I do agree that it would be beneficial to compare notes after that, however; I'll see you later, then.
