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.

…Well, I can’t leave someone I just met to a fate I’d rather avoid myself!

[He gives Hodaka a little nudge, puts his hands on his hips, and winks.]

Maybe we oughta look out for each other. I help you get back before whoever you’ve got back home gets too wound up, and you do the same for me. Everybody wins, right?

—Huh?

[ It pulls him from his gloom, almost magically. ]

...You want to?
kninja: (HEHE(ΦωΦ)Don't mind me!)

[Oh, kiddo.]

Sure I do! Hahaha. Do I look that much like I’m used to working alone?
withagun: (just a bit more ⛈️)

...Uhhhh...

[ Hodaka squints. ]

No?

[ Truly the boy cannot tell. ]
kninja: (HELPLESS(ΦωΦ)Li'l ol' me?)

[Excellent. Keep ‘em guessing.]

Exactly. I barely know where to start on my own. So—

[He sticks out a hand to shake.]

Do you mind working together, for now?

[ After a moment, Hodaka takes Obi's hand—with his right one, the one without the handcuff. ]

Okay. I'm Hodaka.
kninja: (GRIN(ΦωΦ)Mee-yow!)

And I’m Obi! Lookin’ forward to our partnership.

[Yoroshiku ne!]
