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.

no subject
[ He scoffs a little and shakes his head. Even wearing a helmet as he usually is, he has never been afraid to actually show his face. ]
Just wish I could figure out what it was before giving them the satisfaction of explaining.
no subject
[ Her family doesn't exactly have anything left to give at this point. Not that she's going to just out and say that to a strange man she's just met. ]
Well. We're quite the ragtag group, so I can hardly imagine just one of us is being targeted.
no subject
[ He wonders how Conner would take knowing that his favorite teacher's killer is stuck in some sort of death game? Pretty well, probably. ]
Unless there's something secret we all have in common, but... maybe sometimes grabbing a bunch of very different people is the point.
[ "Teenager with attitude" meant a lot of different things back then, didn't it? When Zordon chose his sacrifices. ]
