☞ 006. (desert city)

I guess it was too much to hope that the sand wouldn't get this bad.

[It's meant as a joke, but Jack clearly isn't in much of a joking mood. Though really, who would be, after waking up in a mystery desert and wearing a wool sweater? (Which has been abandoned, by the looks of him, but he also doesn't look happy about it.)]

Does anyone know what the hell is going on? If anyone's still out there... [He's not willing to say it, but he's somehow less sure of his chances of survival out here than he was down in Rapture.] I could use some help.

[Ah, a human. All by his lonesome. A walking snack, as far as Karl's concerned.]

In trouble, are we?

[whattingawhat]

Xnay on the knowing what's going on but I can help out. Any landmarks or particularly identifiable mountains of sand?

Private

[wouldnotkindly]

Not yet... But that'll change if I can't find any water anywhere. [And fast.]

[wouldnotkindly]

[There's a moment or two of him looking around before he answers.]

Yeah — behind me, yeah, there's this huge sand dune... I think it was the building I was just in.

It looks like there's something moving up ahead, too.

Private

[worldofourown]

Perhaps I could help with that?

[He needs a drink himself. He's getting thirsty in the desert.]

Private

[wouldnotkindly]

Do you have some on you? [Not that he's going to get his hopes up.]

Private

[worldofourown]

Not really, no. But I could help you find one.

[Or, you could be the drink? :|]

A curse. A really bad one, from the looks of it. [ sigh. ]

I wish I could help, but I'm a bit stranded myself... I'll stay on the line if you need someone to talk to, though.

Moving could be very good or moving could be much more of the bad. Do you have weapons?
