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.

Hodaka fights back a pout and shakes his head. ]
I just got caught out in the rain. [ Just. But it's not a very suspicious thing to say. This man doesn't look Japanese, but it sounds like he's speaking it to Hodaka's ears—and everyone in Japan knows that the rainfall levels have been "off the charts" as of late. ]
I guess I'm just...not dry yet.
no subject
[ Turns of phrase are not his strong suit! But nagging? Nagging is number one, baby. ]
Also you are dripping onto the carpet, and mold is probably gonna be a big issue down here... moisture and all.
no subject
You’re worried about mold? We’ve woken up in a weird underwater place…and you’re worried about mold?
no subject
Hey, I do also care about the mass abduction, okay?! You can worry about more than one thing.
no subject
[ That frown's now paired with a scrutinizing narrow of his eyes. ]
no subject
[ hold on he's thinking about this!!!
like sincerely that is the tag, he's just kind of staring with a grimace while trying to process what his priority is here. and due to dark existential vampire reasons, well... he's not coming up with much of anything. but also he's never going to vocalize that, so all hodaka is getting here is an ostensible 40 year old buffering silently in response to a perfectly reasonable question! ]
no subject
Sssssir...?
[ He waves a hand slowly in front of Nador's face. ]
no subject
I am thinking about it!!
no subject
Okay!!! Sorry!!
[ Hodaka is startld! ]
no subject
[ He started any and all yelling! And continued it! His voice is pitching down now, but technically he still is doing it! But he appears to be focusing up, which is, uh... not necessarily a positive or a negative... ]
Yes. Yes, you are right. [ Nandor clenches one fist, raising his hand exclusively so he can dramatically bring it back down again. ] The most important thing right now is to find the one who did this to us and unleash hell!
no subject
O- kay, that's...good to hear. We- everyone should be...on the same page like that.
[ He's speaking quietly. In hopes that Nandor takes the hint to stop yelling. Please take the hint to stop yelling. ]
no subject
[ Only at this moment does he realize Hodaka has a handcuff on! His response to noticing this is to nod approvingly. ]
Good idea, you can use that to bludgeon him.
no subject
[ Just swinging a free hanging handcuff like that?! ]
no subject
[ You know, like all the kids are still doing these days! ]
no subject
I'm sixteen! I've never used a flail!
no subject
[ The man's arms rise awkwardly to his sides in a posture that makes no sense, but somehow communicates the general vibe of being genuinely perplexed. ]
I mean, no, it's not the most efficient... still, I certainly had when I was your age. What melee weapons do you know how to use?
no subject
[ Hodaka sounds completely exhausted. ]
no subject
no subject
I- know, that's what I'm trying to... that's why I don't know how to use any melee weapons, Nandor-san. We don't use them. This is an outlier.

[ This is the worst and he is done with this conversation- ]
