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.

[ Your pain is hilarious. ]

Aaaaah, but the architecture here seems much too recent to be the fabled city of myth. And didn't the whole thing sink to the bottom of the sea in a day? Wouldn't have been able to build these air bubbles on such short notice, not during those terrible earthquakes and floods...

[He crosses his arms with confidence.]

I considered that. Someone just found it later and repurposed it, duh.

Repurposed what, exactly? The crumbling ruins? They didn't design the city to be underwater, did they?
sixthnonsense: (☄ i predict you're an asshat)

Yes, the crumbling ruins! People build on top of that stuff all the time! They just wanted the location for its power!
