[Booker's looking a little awkward today - probably because instead of questions or demands, he's just got...well, maybe an announcement to make? Either way, he's just more aware of the fact that this network thing is a pretty public platform and Booker DeWitt? Is no public speaker.

So he clears his throat.]

So, uh. Some of you've been saying you're in need of food? And we've got an abundance of it here. Elizabeth's doing her best to feed me up, I guess, and I can't eat all of it myself. I'm out and about making deliveries most every day as it is, I can always bring some leftovers around with me too.

[He scratches the back of his neck, then glances off to the side and holds up a bright red knitted scarf.]

We may have a number of these, soon, too. [His look is rather confused, like 'is this normal?' Or possibly, 'help me!' And then he turns the feed off.]

That is very kind of the both of you.

And that scarf suits you.

voice;

[washitaway]

Uh, it's no problem, really.

And... Thanks. [He supposes.] It's just a scarf. I think she's making a matching set of gloves, too.

voice;

[barebacking]

As you say.

Your love is quite the housewife... did I use that saying correctly?

voice;

[washitaway]

What? No! No, she's not my - my love, or my wife. [WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK THAT.] She's young enough to be my daughter, I'm just lookin' after her.

[leviathaned]

[...You have his deepest sympathies, booker.]

I work in a kitchen, so I've no need of the food, but the offer's appreciated.

You'd be her Booker, then?

[washitaway]

[Her Booker. WELP.]

Suppose so. [And you're the weirdo talking about the drunk dude who left his clothes behind?!?!] And you're...?

[leviathaned]

[Easier than calling her your keeper, dude.]

Sei.

[He'll wait for a reaction so he can gauge how much Elizabeth has already shared, first. Although she might have skipped the part about blue-haired pretty boys.]

[Free food? Sign him up.]

I'll take some of that food off your hands. ...But what's with the scarf?

voice;

[washitaway]

Just let me know where and when you want it delivered.

And uh, she's been knitting? It's cold out, hell if I know.

voice;

[modernized]

...Guess everyone needs a hobby. Maybe she wants you to wear it? I mean, just a guess. [Could be some kind of secret present. Terry knows these things all too well.] Anyways, I'm in Fire Sector, Room 1B is good. Just come by whenever you can before dark, I got nothing to do today.

It seems that she has been keeping busy. I do not need extra food, but perhaps the others will. There may be kedans in the poorer areas of the city who will gladly accept food as well.

[washitaway]

I suggested she might try to find a job. You know, to meet people. I think she's still exploring around, and, well.

Knitting.

[Booker frowns a little at that accent.] Which one're you? [Yes, she's told him about the various friends she's been making. Shhh.]

video;

[starcharter]

She is quite good at it. [He's not a knitting expert but it looks nice, so.]

[He looks a bit puzzled at the question, so he decides to respond with his name. He assumes that'll mean something to this guy.]

Pavel Chekov. It is nice to meet you.

Next thing I know you'll be asking to take time off from work for a stomach ache.

[ He can't even keep a straight face when he's saying that; clearly, he's just teasing. ]

[washitaway]

[Booker huffs a quiet laugh.] I'd be puttin' on the pounds if you didn't have me running all over town all the time.

She does make good flapjacks, though. [He'll bring some over next time she makes them - don't look at him like that, he's proud of her, okay???]

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

[ Jack laughs too, because he can see that being a truth. ]

But you do it so well! Really, I've had kedan let me know they're happy with your work.

[ Booker you would probably get a raise if you brought him food. ]

[pikes]

Preparing for the winter?

[washitaway]

I suppose. She's never really had anyone to look after before.

[Booker is manning up!]

[pikes]

And now she has you. She's probably just excited about the prospect.

[Did someone mention food?]

Food! What kind of food do you have? Root beer? Any ice cream? Gum? Well, that's not food, but I haven't had a stick since I got here!

video

[washitaway]

Er, well no, none of that. [Wow this guy is enthusiastic!]

Elizabeth makes good flapjacks, though. And a chicken thing - well, sorta chicken, whatever they call it around here. Chicken Parmesan - that's it.

Re: video

[violetsedanchair]

Flapjacks! Marvellous. Is this lady friend of yours good at baking as well? Because we're working on opening a bakery and could always use the extra hand.

[everylittlegirl]

How much is the scarf?

video;

[washitaway]

Oh, uh. [Woops he looks a little guilty now.] This one ain't for sale, Elizabeth'd have my hide if I gave it to anybody. I doubt she'd sell 'em, anyway. She'd rather give 'em away.

[everylittlegirl]

That's.. weird.

Good luck with your whole free candy to kids thing.
