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.]

So you're looking for a paper tissue? Gotcha! [She's kidding, of course.]
[Video]
Kid.
[Video]
Lighten up! I was just yanking your chain, ya know.
[Video]
Right.
[Booker DeWitt used grump. It's super effective.]
[Video]
So it's a... Uhm... A sky-hook? What's it do? Is it like a grapple hook?
[Video]
It hooks -- It's supposed to hook onto these rails that are placed all through the sky. Hence: Sky-Hook.
[Explaining this is way too frustrating for how much he's had to drink in the past few hours.]
[Video]
But why do you need it? There's no rails here, ya know...

[It wouldn't be a nice back-scratcher though...]
[Video]
[Video]
[Hence the not really nice as a back-scratcher. The hooks turned when he squeezed a trigger and rotated them - making it a deadly melee weapon and handy escape device.
These more domestic suggestions just baffle him. He's not a very creative guy.]
[Video]
[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?
[Video]
[Yes he does. He's just trying to make an effort to have Patty stop asking him all these questions.]
[Video]
[This is clearly not a bad idea in any way.]
[Video]
Why a barrel?
[He doesn't want to ask about the tub]
[Video]
[Video] - this is the best.
Woah, woah, woah just...hold your horses. I ain't doing no experiment with a barrel.
[Video] hahah, isn't it?
A washtub, then! Don't worry, you won't have to ride it. You can stand by the waterside and take notes, ya know.
[Video]
I don't even have it so there won't be anything to experiment with.
[There! Appeal to her logic.]
[Video]
But you're looking for it, right? When it shows up here, you've gotta let me know right away!
[Video]
'Course it doesn't help that she's very much a child to him.]
I -- [The sound of that frustrated huff is the sound of defeat.]
We'll see.
