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.

[Misfire’s favourite past-time: kicking hornet’s nests.]

[he is crossing his arms SO HARD and wondering if he can get away with punching a robot…]

Okay, okay, noted. I will, henceforth, refrain from referring to you as a poor little woof woof, or any combination of the words ‘poor’, ‘little’, ‘woof’ aaaand ‘woof’.
[Just when it seems like he’s done, he adds on:]
Despite your government assigned title being exactly ’poor little woof woof’.
no subject
[it’s a hobby!!!]
no subject
[Misfire almost steps back, not in fear or shock but - delighted awe?]
Where did that come from, buddy? They ought to be calling you the revolutionary little woof woof instead.
[He can’t…let it go….]
Keep talking like that and we’ll have a group called the wooficons on our hands.

Could you not simply acquire a better coping mechanism, like compartmentalization?
[…he somehow ended up with Nero as his right hand so he can probably deal with some kinda bullshit.]
no subject
[Misfire shrugs.]
I will be taking that as a yes, by the way.
no subject
[…it’s really hard to tell if he’s joking or not, he has “no one would ever believe you” energy…]
no subject
[Finger gun!]
Thanks for the offer, though.

[The XIVth legion could definitely stand for some kind of wellbeing branch. Like an Avon representative.]

[i mean there's rhitahtyn but he just died recently : (]
no subject
[He claps a hand to Gaius' shoulder. It's kind of a reach, and that metal-on-metal is pretty horrid.
And thus starts a beautiful.........friendship(???)]
I like that. It's fun. It's got potential. You could make an excellent straight man.

I am not the other half of a comedy duo.
[CLANG………]
