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.

[ Ah- crap. Hodaka just glares, more frustrated than anything, at Seo but also at himself. He grimaces...and then he whacks his handcuffs against a nearby pillar, as if that will fix it. ]

Ow!

[ It does not, simply irritating his wrist and his arm where the free-hanging cuff smacks him. ]

[ Wow. Seo Dawon can't help but snicker. It's one way to take direction, at least? ]

If I was a treasure hunter, I might actually help you for free right now. [ Entertainment might be some form of payment to him, but this also explains why he's not a class of the thief hierarchy. ]
withagun: (it makes the summer go by even faster)

[ He cradles his poor wrist as his glare intensifies. ]

Well if you're not, then just- buzz off, okay?!

Or what?

[ He stands in front of Hodaka, unmoving. ]

And I'm a mage.
withagun: (hate that doesn't disappear)

[ Hodaka is unbothered. He just keeps glaring. ]

Go. Away.

If you want something, then do something about it.

[ Shades of what he said before, even if the context is different. He is immune to glares of all kinds, and returns an amused smile. ]
withagun: (my heart becomes rushed)

[personal profile] withagun 2022-06-16 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ He grits his teeth, eyes narrowed grumpily. This guy's a jerk. And Hodaka wants. to punch him. But- ]

Fine.

[ What he does is...turn to leave! ]

There you go. See you later!

[ Seo Dawon gives him a friendly wave and a smile, and watches him go. He'll check back in on his handcuff progress another time. ]
withagun: (i wanna pay it back)

[ grumble grumble he'll get his REVENGE no he'll probably just sulk tbh ]
