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.

Hopefully. Maybe it'll feel a little easier when we all get to know each other better.

Hopefully so-

[And that's when he seems to realize, and wow, um, okay, hang on- ]

Oh! My name is Forrest, of the kingdom of Nohr. Might I ask...?

I'm Brett. Brett Riebach, I'm...I'm from Chicago...

[Which sounds a lot less interesting! But whatever!]

[personal profile] visiblepattern 2022-06-13 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
...I have never heard of Chicago.

[Huh.]

Though that may be my own fault, I've been fairly sheltered for most of my life...

No, I don't think it's your fault at all. I've never heard of Nohr. I think I would have, if it's a whole kingdom.

How very odd... I met someone from England earlier, and I'd never heard of that place, either.

I have heard of that one. Do you mean Jonathan?

Oh - yes, he's in the same suite I'm staying in, actually. He seems a decent sort.

He does, yeah! I don't think he's from...exactly the England I'm familiar with, but it's probably pretty similar.

[Really he's just going on "Dracula is real there?"]
