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.

It'd be a bummer to be there, right?

I dunno. There's...a kinds of science fiction about that. And, a lotta people...wanna go to space.
asymptotes: (🐉 you're so fuckin special)

Sure, if you were in a nice city like this, but... gets troublesome if you don't have any air.
withagun: (i waited impatiently underground)

It'd be troublesome if we didn't have any air down here too.
asymptotes: (🐅 what the hell am i doing here?)

Fair point.

[ In talking to kids, like in war, sometimes you have to let them underestimate you. ]
withagun: (just a bit more ☔)

I'd just like to be back on solid ground. Not anywhere else. Even below the sea.

[ ... ]

The volcano...would probably be worst, though.

[ Something about this man is quite disarming, actually! Huh! ]
asymptotes: (whatever you want)

[personal profile] asymptotes 2022-06-14 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ He's very good at disarming people. ]

A little hot for my taste, yeah.
withagun: (beyond destiny 💧)

[personal profile] withagun 2022-06-14 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ Just like that, he almost smiles. ]

...Thank you, for talking with me, Tommy-san. It...is nice, to meet you.
asymptotes: (🐅 what the hell am i doing here?)

[ He gives an affable and super normal wink. ]

We'll get through this. Whatever "this" is.
withagun: (for the day to come)

[personal profile] withagun 2022-06-14 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Super normal. So normal. ]

Yeah... Yeah, I- we will.

[ Because he has to, after everything that happened, get back to Hina. ]
