Ladies and gentlemen, your mayor...
True to the word of the random pieces of paper next to your desks, at exactly 1:30PM New Rapture Standard Time, there's a chime on all radios in the whole area - and there are a lot of radios. Both the portable radios you've all been issued and speakers all over chime before a pleasant woman's voice calls out to all of you, slightly tinny and distorted.
Greetings, prospective citizens! Please make your way to the lobby for a personal address from Mayor Fontaine! Presented by Fontaine Futuristics, where we bring your present into your future!
Upon everyone's arrival into the lobby of the hotel, several televisions set into the walls light up with:
Until, after a few moments, the screens flicker and cut to the face of... someone, in silhouette, just like the rest of Rapture. There are no features to make out, though, as the top of a huge leather armchair raises above their head.
Mayor Fontaine is watching.
When the Mayor speaks, the speakers seem to have trouble getting it out. There's heavy distortion and static over it, but the voice seems clear enough - male, from the sound of it, and slow and purposeful. A thick Bronx accent, for those of you with a New York to compare it to.
"So. Welcome to New Rapture. I got some things to say, but I'm gonna bet if I just open the floor to questions they'll come up and it'll save us all some time. But to cut a couple off at the pass, so to speak: yer not leaving, this is real, et cetera. Now, ask me some questions, would you kindly?"

no subject
[Dandy pounds a dramatic fist over his heart.
Then, realizing their dire situation and what's sort of actually going on here (but only sort of)-]
But not like that. Not like...
I'm sorry. I'm sorry! Are we all sure they said kill? Maybe it was a typo, or somethin'.
[DANDY!!!!]
Maybe they meant to say... Mmmmmm...
[Sweat pools on the alien hunter's forehead as he spouts the first word that comes to mind-]
Kiss? That's a K-I word that ends in two of the same letter! Err, at least I think it is.
