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.

Ah- okay. I'd...like that, Joy-san. I'm Hodaka.
no subject
[Japanese people do that, right? She's pretty sure Japanese people use hanzi too, on account of sometimes she sees them in anime and tries to read them.]
And then I'll tell you how you'd say it in Chinese, if I can remember.
no subject
Later Hodaka will realize she's not just speaking Japanese back to him and wonder about how weird that is. But for now, he's just grateful. ]
Ye- yeah. Yeah, okay. Sure. Definitely.
no subject
For right now, though, let's go see if we can find out something about your not-girlfriend. Or a way out of here.
[Honestly? The former is more likely than the latter, but she's not about to say that to him.]
no subject
[ Awww he's embarrassed. ]
no subject
Okay. Let's go see if Hina-san is here.
no subject
Thank you, Joy-san.
no subject
No problem, Hodaka.
no subject
That's all Hodaka has to say, it seems. Let this lapse into awkward silence- but maybe not that awkward? It could be a lot worse. That's what Hodaka eventually comes to realize.
It could be a lot worse. ]
