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.
No reason.

Yes. That would be correct. I am definitely Gaius van Baelsar.

[The title. She has to ask about the title. What's up with your title]

[…he sighs, and continues with exasperation…]
“Poor little woof woof.” I absolutely cannot explain that…
no subject
[That was totally was she was going to ask about. Still, she asks something different because backing down and admitting fault is not her style at all:]
"Legatus Legionis of the XIVth Legion". Please tell me more about your occupation. It's nothing unlike anything I have come across before.

[if he believed in gods he would thank them for not having to discuss the woof woof]
It is equivalent to other nations’ generals, essentially. I am simply the commander of the XIVth Legion of the Garlean military.

[Would that explain the weirdness about the height and the weight, she wonders. Golly, what are Final Fantasy XIV measurement units, what a thing, haha]
no subject
[i think they're just imperial but with fantasy bullshit laid on. though ilms apparently have a fun pirate story related to them lmao]
