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.

Huh, cool. If turning into a human were a biological thing for me, that would make life a whole bunch easier.

[ He shrugs. But Floyd is still curious! ]

What's your alt-mode?

Grass is always greener, right?

[Check him out, using human sayings. What the fuck is grass.]

I'll tell you, but first I'll give you a hot tip. A little bit of insider information: you do not want to ask a 'bot that unless you're ready for a fight to break out.

[Got that?]

Anyway - it's a jet.
capreelcious: (so misunderstood)

Ha, reminds me of a similar saying: The seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake.

[ You dream about going up there, but that is a big mis- ]

Heh- got it.

[ Floyd nods, and then his eyes sparkle at the explanation! A jet??? He's sort of heard about those! The eel grins. ]

Ohh, like one of those flying vehicles? That's sick!
dullshooter: (generalise much)

Innit?

[Misfire’s grinning with just as much excitement.]

Not that much use when we’re primus knows how many miles underwater, but pretty cool all the same.
capreelcious: (so tragic)

For real! Whenever we get outta here, I wanna see if that's cool! I'll show you what I look like too when I get my magic back.

Sure thing, bud. It's a deal.

[It's decided with a thumbs up and that's, like, legally binding.]
capreelcious: (dear child)

[ Floyd smirks and thumbs up as well. He's holding you to that! Thumbs up is totally legally binding, especially with Floyd. ]
