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.

...That room right there.
[gestures!]
Unless you're asking how I got here, just in general, in which case I don't know. I'm not supposed to be here and would quite like to return home, however, so if your bodyguard knows how to do that that would be nice.
no subject
Oh. [ And somehow this is what gets him to deflate? He is, apparently, really not a fan of surprise parties. ] ... Did you also just awaken from a slumber with no explanation but a lousy scrap of paper?
no subject
[...Oh. Actually, while he's all here for being indignant, that's no excuse for manners to just not exist, hang on - ]
My name is Forrest, of the kingdom of Nohr. Might I ask your name...?
no subject
[ Something about the introduction strikes a familiar enough chord to get him to add the epithet. ]
And I mean, would say "pleased to meet you", but this is really all shit. Nohr... I cannot say I have heard of it. Is it anywhere near Biloxi?
no subject
I suppose that depends on what sort of realm Biloxi entails, but it isn't anything that I'm personally familiar with.
[Like, if it's another pocket dimension maybe it's just one he hasn't heard of. One that's staked out by Izumo or something. Izana totally seems the sort to name a realm Biloxi.]
All of this really is dreadful, though... Even if the living accommodations aren't the worst I've seen.
no subject
[ he probably heard specifically the jimmy buffett cover of the song, once, and the word has been rattling around in his brain for forty-plus years to be released at precisely this moment! for no reason! forrest does not deserve this! ]
But this is true. [ Even if he did wake up to artificial light coming through a bigass window! ] Usually, you wake up like this, you're gonna be in a dungeon or a cell or something. I haven't even seen any rats.
no subject
I'm certainly grateful we don't have any of those - though with regards to the dungeon, I suppose underwater is close enough? Perhaps?
