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.

[Joy, this man is literally younger than you.]
no subject
[He knows he looks harrowed but he did not know he looked that bad.
He sighs, looking back at his profile.]
That is not inaccurate. The piece of trivia they used for mine is just cruel, and I am certain they have found delight in my torment.

[With a flourish, Joy tosses the shrimp into her mouth.]

[He looks back at the profiles, frowning.]
I loathe to imagine what our captor's like if this is their idea of humor. What kind of horrible person openly mocks innocent people's worst memories like this.
no subject
Internet trolls. [A beat.] People who just say shit for the purpose of shit-stirring. Really common, unfortunately.
no subject
[He blinks, sort of getting what she says.]
I'm dreadfully sorry, the things you say just sound very peculiar to me. Is that, perhaps, some sort of American dialect?
no subject
[She's never thought of it like that, though.]
