[Well, hell. Is this thing on? It better be, or he's going to look awful funny talking to himself for next minute or two.

Needless to say, Booker is still getting used to his strange, newfangled communication device. The video is a little shaky at first, but it evens out after a moment or two of fumbling. And it's then you can see the man's face -- he looks tired, especially around the eyes, but he seems to be toughing it out. Frustration is etched into his frown, but his tone is relatively even and straight to the point.]

Name's Booker DeWitt, and I'm not gonna waste anyone's time. Got a few questions, in order of importance. I'd be much obliged to anyone willing to answer what they can.

[With that preface out of the way, he presses on:]

Anyone seen a girl named Elizabeth? [Here you can hear a little concern out of him, but he doesn't pause long enough to let it settle.] Blue and white dress, short brown hair. Might be stickin' her nose in other people's business. If you have, let me know.

Secondly -- I don't know how things work around here, if anyone gives a damn about money or trade -- but where does someone find ammunition in a place like this?

[This time there is a notable pause. Thirdly:] Or something to drink?

That I did. I also don't got a lot, all things considered. [Being new here, and all. He was graced with only a few items in his locker.] What do you got in mind?

I need parts. Mechanical parts, any kind will do.

[Mechanical parts. He might be able to offer something if that's the case.]

...I can think of something. Arrived with me in my locker -- I used it to travel the city I came from before I arrived here, but I reckon it's mostly useless moving parts now. Though you could tear someone up with it somethin' awful.

[He knows via first-hand experience.]

[Bit of a wry laugh goes here.] I don't suppose I could make a grappling hook from it, could I?

[Welp. Actually.] Find yourself a sturdy enough rope and I don't see why not. It's a skyhook. It's got plenty of 'hooks', so it should do just fine, assuming you know how to take it apart and put it all together well enough. Hell, find yourself a rail and you might not need to take it apart at all. [Though he hasn't really seen any during his short time here.]

Why're you looking to make a grappling hook, anyway?

[A pause.

Then he breaks into a smile, looking exceptionally satisfied and noticeably not answering the question.] That sounds like an excellent deal, Mr. DeWitt.

["Mr. DeWitt" again is it? Something about his expression is wry at that but he doesn't comment on it.]

Sure. I reckon we'll work out the details of the ammunition I get when I bring you the skyhook.

[he'll ask again about the need for a grappling hook later]

Certainly. [Sunny smile goes here.] Welcome to the Tranquility, by the way.

And what a hell of a welcome it is. [But still:] Thanks.

Where can I find you?

It could be worse. Has anything tried to kill you yet?

[He'll pause a moment, thinking. Then:] How about I find you? [Since his room is full of...bits and pieces of things he'd rather not share.]

Not here, no. That happen a lot? [wouldn't be anything new, however.] And that's fine. I'm was given the number twenty-five, fourteen if you want to meet me outside the room I've been assigned.

According to what I've heard, yes. I haven't had any outside forces try it, but I expect that will happen sooner or later.

[Pleased, happy little face.] Excellent! I shall meet you there.

Great. [Except not at all great. Can't catch a break.]

I'll be waiting.
