Not sure why I did this, either.

[Seeing as it's a little difficult to speak through the helmet, he'll just...stare creepily. Forever.

It's still pretty obvious he doesn't approve. At all.

The whole thing is rather ridiculous, really.]

WHOA.

An old time diving guy!

Cool!

[johnnytopside]

[This look is suppsed to say "who are you?" It's not that effective, really.]

[wise_lil_wolf]

[Good thing Rafe is an Empath. He's picking up curiosity off this fellow. That usually means a question.]

Hi!

[waves]

I'm Rafe.

[johnnytopside]

[He...can't really respond to that. But it's nice to know.]

[wise_lil_wolf]

You looking for something?

Most diving guys I've seen are in the water.

[johnnytopside]

[Well he was kind of.

And then shit happened.]

[wise_lil_wolf]

I hope you find it.

I get you don't say much.

That's okay.

Some of my dad's friends don't say much either.

[They can't]

[johnnytopside]

[He can't exactly say much either. :| ]

[wise_lil_wolf]

[Rafe is okay with that.]

I'm used to quiet types.

No worries.

[johnnytopside]

[Good, because there's not going to be a whole lot of talking.]

[ Well, you look like a fish out of water so it only makes sense not to approve of the situation. Regardless, she steps out from hiding and speaks. ]

What a familiar face; hello.

[ Her intentions are anyone's guess. ]

[johnnytopside]

[Hi! Can't say much.]

[riseabove]

[ Well, with that helmet of yours, that makes total sense. She's comfortable with the silence. ]

What are you doing here alone?

[johnnytopside]

[Good question. No idea.]

[riseabove]

You're here against your will, then?

[ That's not surprising. ]

[johnnytopside]

[Looks like.]

[riseabove]

[ Well, you're big and strong. She's walking closer now. ]

Care to help out a sister?

[ She grins wide, fully intending to hop on his shoulder and hitch a ride. Who cares if she's older now? She wants a ride. ]

[johnnytopside]

[There's not really anywhere to go.]

[riseabove]

[ She doesn't care. With a 'hup!' she's up on his shoulder. ]

Let's take a look around. This isn't Rapture, so it couldn't hurt to roam, right?

[johnnytopside]

[Guess not.

Off they go then?]

[riseabove]

[ Plenty of places to go! Off they go for some kind of adventures or something.

Hey, what's the worst that could happen? ]

[johnnytopside]

[Mommy could be hiding around a corner or something.]

[riseabove]

[ Did you piss her off or something? Nothing to worry about if you didn't. ]

[johnnytopside]

[Not lately? Never can tell, though.]

[riseabove]

[ Good thing Eleanor didn't inherit that fickle-ness from her. She gets her good and bad from daddy. This is the Eleanor who drowned mommy terribly at the end, for the record. ]

[johnnytopside]

[Whoops. This is not daddy who would like that. :| ]

[riseabove]

[ It's okay, she doesn't have to tell him. He also doesn't have to know that she had been hoping he would show up with a little sister. Little sisters are such easy prey to get ADAM from.

And yet here she is, seemingly peaceful, fooling everyone on his shoulder. ]

[johnnytopside]

[Yeah he wouldn't like that either >>;; ]

[riseabove]

[ What daddy doesn't know can't hurt him. ]

[johnnytopside]

[Fair enough.]
