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.

[He gives Nandor a look. It's pretty clear that he's starting to get annoyed by his disbelief. It would be one thing if he struggled to believe that he was kidnapped, but to believe that part but struggle to buy who kidnapped him? Surely if this man new the Count that he would agree that he is a terrible person.]

I was being held at Castle Dracula in Transylvania.

[ It's pretty clear to the third person omniscient reader, and anyone with basic social skills, that Jonathan is becoming annoyed with Nandor! Nandor, however, thought Scott Bakula was a vampire, and all of these subtleties are completely lost on him.

He goes quiet and studies this man's face again, more closely this time. He clearly believes that what he is saying is true, but... ]


It is just that he has been very dead for well over a century.

[Jonathan's face pales.

Oh dear god

The cold skin, the seemingly lack of a heart beat.]


Th... then how... that's just not possible...!

[ He is interpreting this as disbelief at the concept of Dracula dying his second death, and is completely lost! ]

He... was killed?
