Delta Catch All

Who: Subject Delta ([personal profile] daddy_topside) and pretty much everyone!
What: Delta v (small) Civilization
When: Varying times of the day!
Where: Varying spots but mostly around the outer edges of Pumpkin Hollow!
Warning(s): Canon typical violence (Bioshock). Will add anything if they come up!


Open - In Town! (Daytime)

Subject Delta was created for the sole purpose of attending to the protection of a singular Little Sister. When he wasn’t doing that, he was hunting for leaks and doing repairs on a megalomaniac’s underwater hell city.

Figuring out mundane things like housing and groceries isn’t… quite in his repertoire. You might as well have thrown a tortoise into a lake and gotten about the same level of drowning incomprehension.

Typically, Delta would commit to the fine art of simply disregarding everything anyone tried to tell him and forge his own path. It’s just this time he’s so far out of his depth, he doesn’t even have the familiar to fall back on.

In the end, stunned by the endless be-clouded skies and the sheer shock of it all, Delta simply parks himself on a rocky hill and contemplates insanity.


For Grace - Downtown (Daytime)

Money, at least, was a familiar concept to Subject Delta. Cash to be traded for goods (and services, but you didn’t exactly get service between the splicers having the run of the place and just plain being a Big Daddy). You didn’t crawl out of a libertarian’s wet dreams without at least learning that.

The question is just what to spend money on. Deprived of his weapons, Delta instead muddles about Downtown, accumulating frightened and wary stares from the sparse populace as he contemplates the window of a woodworking shop.

And, that's a map slapped into his chest. He didn't realise he was about to panic until after the map falls into his hands, letting out a breath. Okay, good. Definitely not hostile. He thinks.

Who knows? Maybe he's annoying the Hell out of this poor guy.

He does his best to keep up, but the pace gets that heartbeat going and he ends up coughing a few times on their way to the kiosk. He tries to be discreet about it, but there's only so many ways to pretend you're not coughing.

Right, he's tired, too. Maybe he shouldn't have followed this guy, armour, thing. But, then... maybe it's better he has company if he ends up collapsing.

He hopes he doesn't collapse, that would be embarrassing. He's already struggling enough, thank you very much.

"So... where are we going?"

He's trying to pretend he's not struggling to keep up. But there's a staggering in his footsteps, as well as the coughs, and a tired look on his face.

Shino just tries to catch his breath and not collapse as they stop at the kiosk, too busy trying to not look like he's on the brink of fainting to quite notice what's going on with Delta. Until the pack is pointed at him.

He looks at the proffered cigarettes. Come to think of it, he never got to smoke one of these. Having been stuck in a child's body all of his life, after all. He never got to be acknowledged for the adult he truly is.

But now, he looks like an adult too.

The gears turn in his head as he contemplates it a bit, before finally accepting one. Shino, no.

"Thanks."

He watches Delta carefully, hoping to mimic how he's supposed to do this.
