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.

[Something about that gets Adaman to tense up--he knows damn well what it is, but is he going to admit weakness in front of this guy? Absolutely not.]

Of course I do! Almighty Sinnoh does not control the mind of it's denizens--we worship them because they have proven time and time again to protect us for generations! If we did not, then we would likely be wiped out by many of the dangerous wild PokΓ©mon that live around us!

There is a need for gods, at least in my own world, and I am dreadfully sorry that these 'eikons' seem to have failed you so. But I will not sit here and listen to you insult our faith and protector!

β€œFailed” is a generous term for it. That implies they were good for anything in the first place. If you have any intention of summoning your god here…

[...]

Is that to be a threat? Or a challenge?

The absolute last thing we need is anyone getting tempered.

[...What.]

Tempered--what are you talking about?!

Hmph. So either your god is merciful enough to allow you free will or you are not even aware that it has taken hold of your mind.

[DUDE, THE FUCK]

We all have our own free will, under Almighty Sinnoh! I sincerely doubt that we would be allowed to have as colorful of personalities as I have seen, if that were the case...

[argument in favor of almighty sinnoh's mercy: have you considered melli's personality though--]

...

I am genuinely not sure if that is a good marker or not, considering.
