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.

I've got a working theory that we're in the Atlantic Ocean...

[Because this is totally Atlantis.]

But yeah...I couldn't tell you about the rest. It's not the first time that I've heard of a completely unfamiliar place today though?

I see... well, I have not heard of such a place myself, and the fact that it is an entire ocean...

[Concerning!]

What information are you drawing upon, and it would it be any help in locating the nearest source of help?

[Great, more people who haven't heard of common Earth things!!]

There's a famous sunken city called Atlantis, and that's where I think we are. And if that's really true, Iiiii don't think we're gonna be rescued anytime soon. There's no one around for ages.

…Ah, I see. Not only is it difficult to access due to its location, I imagine it is protected by some ancient technology that keeps it hidden.

[SO IT’S ALLAGAN BULLSHIT, he understands that.]

[...

Okay so Hagakure was initially hella intimidated by this guy but he is still intimdated but also feels so vindicated right now.]


That's exactly what I was thinking! You get it! Dude, you so get it!

[It's like he's never been believed a day in his life or something.]

Well, I have overseen the excavation of Allagan ruins, and I have heard that some are far better protected than the one we found. It is not particularly difficult to imagine.

[final fantasy 14: honestly hagakure would have a great time here]

[He would love Allagan shit, it's true.]

You say that, but so many people have called bullcrap on my theory!

I am not familiar with any of the details that would lead me to say whether it is plausible or not, but I do not think it prudent to reject any explanation at this point...
