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.]

[Here Booker have a thin, pale girl frowning at her book, her face slightly scrunched up as she tries to figure out what in the world that is.]

It looks rather like a fan? What's it for?

Is it a portable windmill?

So... you want us to keep an eye out for a messed up boat propeller?

We make it a priority to secure a base for the medical area and non-combatants. Non-combatants, of course, can help out in those areas, either with food or keeping track of supplies, or even just staying safe if that's what they prefer. You can also learn self-defense just in case, and I know there are more than a few people offering it.

[Patty sort of squints at the screen for a moment, then a playful smirk dawns on her face.]

So you're looking for a paper tissue? Gotcha! [She's kidding, of course.]

[Well. Anyone can read what's written in these journals. So...]

A more useful description:

[...He's trying to be helpful, Booker. But, really, it might come off as being an ass.]

A sky-hook is a device created by Jeremiah Fink of Columbia. It features a wooden stock that fits over the forearm, as well, as a leather strap and metal grip for ease of use. At the end are three metal hooks that rotate on a fixed point. They are magnetised.

[ He peers at it a bit more, trying to figure out how that thing translated to the sky in any way, shape or form

Then it dawns on him -- ]

Oh, you mean a grappling hook!

You...ride on a hook...through the sky.

It sounds like one of the most horrifying things I've ever heard of. [She sighs.] But I have trouble walking through a clearing without feeling nervous so maybe it's not so for other people.

Hmm, I don't know that I've seen one of those around, but it might show up if it was yours. Sometimes stuff goes to places like the black smith's or the weapon's shop rather than come with your usual things.

A decent visual representation. [Sloppy, but. He'll grant that he knows what it is, looking at it.]

But without a frame of reference, there could be [was] confusion.

Lighten up! I was just yanking your chain, ya know.
