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.

[ This fish sort of knows how to fly! ]
no subject
[Obi seems genuinely excited about this. Then again, why wouldn't he be? Who doesn't love learning about new and fantastic things?]
Brooms? Why? Those don't seem particularly air-worthy!
no subject
[ Either that, or he didn't pay too much attention in class despite Coach Vargas' booming voice. ]
no subject
[He sweeps his arms out like the billowing of a cape, which is silly, because he has a dumb little shoulder cape thing already. Probably too small to fly with, though, even if that were a thing.]
Still, it all sounds like fun.
no subject
[ He snickers at Obi's little demonstration. ]
I'm sure someone's figured out how to enchant a cape to help someone fly, though. And yeah! With magic, the possibilities are pretty fun and endless~!
[ First sandwich gone! Onto the next one. ]
So what's your deal? If you don't have magic, what do you do?
no subject
[Obi, is it so hard to say, "I'm a knight"?]
I'm sure it doesn't hold a candle to magic school, but we've spent the last two years in a place they call "the city of academics." That's been more fun than expected.
