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.

To be honest, I've been trying not to think about that part.

[at.... least he's honest.....?????]

Not a fan of claustrophobic spaces?

I wouldn't say it's that. It's simply that I've never seen anything like this before. Being underwater is very different from being underground.

[Now if we were looking out at a rocky cave structure, that would absolutely be fine!!]

[ alas, that's for the next set of games, unknown caves. ]

Hm, that's fair. I guess they are very different, in certain respects.

[ Cave-ins aren't great by any stretch, but at least they have a chance of being less catastrophic than one of the structures here taking on water. ]

You're used to being underground, then?

[incredible, pitch that to the mod team asap]

I am, yes. The village I grew up in was underground.
