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.

[He nods, trying to keep himself from completely spiraling.]

I-I do not know, but I cannot imagine who else would bring me here. No one else knew where I was being held captive.

Well - hey, hey, it's okay. Just take a breath.

[It's not really that okay, but this guy's kinda freaking out. Which is reasonable, if Dracula (?????) is involved, but also not helpful.]

I don't think vampires can cross running water, can they? [Brett's not actually a huge vampire story fan, rip]

[Jonathan takes a shaky breath. He's not sure how well this is working but the next words Brett says gets his attention.]

Th-they can't?

[He looks out at the ocean, suddenly feeling strangely relieved that they were deep under the ocean.]

What else do you know about vampires, if you don't mind me asking?

Uh...

[Well, it's not something he's super into, but let him think!]

Well, there's a lot of different stories about them. The rules are different in every one. But traditional ones...they can't enter a home without being invited inside. Garlic repels them, and so do symbols of faith and sunlight. You kill them by staking them in the heart. And...maybe cutting their head off?
