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.

You ought to tell me about them, stranger! I would be quite curious to hear about the people you know.

[Of course, Rossiu gets a bright grin from Adaman when the man asks about his own home.]

Ah, but of course! Hisui is a vast place; we have lived among Pokémon, the creatures of our own world, for longer than I have been around. We work together in order to survive, and we greatly revere the Pokémon we live alongside; we assist them, and they assist us in kind, in our everyday living.

It certainly does help, when Pokémon vastly outpower us; [Adaman's look goes a little more serious, at that.] if one were to attempt to survive on their own in Hisui, they would likely not live for very long in the areas the Pokémon have claimed. It's gotten quite worse, since the rift appeared, and many Pokémon have been driven into strange frenzies for it...

So it is in our best interest to cooperate with one another. Not that such a thing is bad at all; we are stronger together, and we make far more use of almighty Sinnoh's precious time that They have given us.

[Are Pokémon animals...? That's what he's picturing, anyway.]

I see. I can certainly understand the need to work together against odds like that. We are always stronger when we can cooperate with others, after all.

[Whether they're human or beastman, animal or Pokémon, apparently.]

It sounds as though your world is currently going through a rough time. I do hope that everything is able to work out eventually.

Ah, you have my thanks. [...] Things have genuinely begun improving in Hisui, as of late; we owe all of that much to one of the most recent recruits of the Galaxy Team. A young man named Rei has been helping to quell the frenzies of some of the honored Lords and Ladies of our clans, and truly, we're thankful.

It's through his and Professor Laventon's research that we are beginning to build a stronger connection to Pokémon, by understanding them.

[He smiles, though.]

Never the less, I hope that things are going alright for your own world as well.

I see. It is good that you all are making strides in that regard.

[He doesn't exactly understand, but progress is always good!

As for that, though... Rossiu tries very hard not to cringe as he thinks back on everything that has happened. His expression does something before he gets it under control.]


We have been going through a... particularly rough time, but I do have faith that we will be able to see it through.
