first baptism (video+action)

[Booker DeWitt has found the bar and he is not leaving.

Okay that's only...mostly true (20% tops) but he's seriously in awe of the sheer variety of ways to get yourself drunk here. He's used to beer and whiskey - gin maybe but that was only if he didn't have either of the first.

Right now he's familiarizing himself with beer. Also incredibly varied now. He's not complaining but he's going to try one of everything before he does anything else.

It's beer three or four that motivates him to crack open the journal and flip to a blank page to fiddle with it until he manages to get the video feed working.]


So I've heard that if folks keep an eye out, things from their world can appear in the Item's Shop. That being said I'm missing a few things but right now I wanted to ask if anyone'd spotted a Sky-hook there recently.

It's a.... [How to explain a Sky-hook beyond it's name?] It works like -- See there are these, uh, hook things that...oh fuck it

[Booker gives up on trying to describe it, and vanishes off camera for a few seconds. There's a sound like scratching in the background and when he reappears Booker turns the journal to face the bar and there's something scribbled on a cocktail napkin that looks like this:]



[He's not an artist, folks.]

That's what it looks like.

If you seen anything like that pop up in one of those shops...give me a holler.

[10% Filtered from Elizabeth: Hackable.]

Also, I've been hearing a bit of talk about these Drafts we're meant to be going on.

There something for the non-combatants to do or are they just handed a weapon and wished good luck?

[It's a bit sad that the idea is not that strange nor unlikely to him.]

Was? What happened?

Perhaps not. Though, I still find it interesting. I mean, rails through the sky! I've never heard of something like that!

Maybe if you attach some kind of machine to it to make it spin, you could use it as a fan!

It does? Wow, that's perfect for summertime!

[Not that Patty minds the heat so much. She's just too lazy to fan herself for too long when the temperature does warrant it.]

So if you get on a boat and turn it upside down into the water, would it push the boat forward?
notyourutopian: (Restless Nights)

[video] No worries!

[Eleanor is quiet for a moment.]

So a civil war. There was one of those in Rapture too, but I don't remember it.

I wonder if they happen everywhere...

[Eleanor frowns.]

I suppose. The war in Rapture wasn't about that, it was two power-hungry men tearing the city down because they didn't want the other one to have it.

[Eleanor is quiet for a moment, her gaze distant as she thinks that question over.]

Initially? I don't know. I was...incapacitated for years after the war ended, it was four or five before mother was able to...well.

[She draws in a breath and frowns.]

But the city never recovered. It couldn't recover. The people that survived the war, most of them were splicers gone mad with their ADAM addiction, roving the city preying on anyone foolish enough to be caught alone. Ryan's son took the little sisters and escaped with Doctor Tenenbaum, so they couldn't make more...they began destroying each other...

Mother took advantage, took over. [Eleanor's voice is quiet, as if she hasn't ever really let herself play the events over in her head the way she was right then.]

She tried to establish an order, but...the city was still a ruin. Even using me to make more Little Sisters, to try and bring the populace back into some semblance of sanity, she couldn't save it. Whole sections had to be abandoned to the sea.

The war killed Rapture. [Finally her gaze shifted back to Booker.] It just took a long time to notice.

[She makes a soft, bitter sound that might be a laugh and shrugs.]

If it wasn't, I can hardly imagine what would qualify as a nightmare. I certainly have nightmares about it.

We should try it out! Once you find it here, I mean. I'm not sure if we can borrow a boat from someone, but a barrel is probably easier propel anyway. Or a washtub!

[This is clearly not a bad idea in any way.]

[personal profile] ps3pirate 2013-09-02 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Because we need something small for this experiment! You ever seen a boat the size of a barrel? I sure haven't.
ps3pirate: (Skit - cocky)

[Video] hahah, isn't it?

[personal profile] ps3pirate 2013-09-04 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
[He agreed the moment he didn't object to it, that's when.]

A washtub, then! Don't worry, you won't have to ride it. You can stand by the waterside and take notes, ya know.

I think about it all the time. It hardly requires prompting.

[Nope, Patty's enthusiasm can't be squashed that easily.]

But you're looking for it, right? When it shows up here, you've gotta let me know right away!
