ICEFISH PIER meat_mooks January 8 2012, 16:49:36 UTC

FISHING! atadiscoverer January 8 2012, 17:35:40 UTC

There's a familiar-looking Scotsman standing with a fishing rod and a stool at one of the cast-off points on the Icefish Pier.

And this is probably the most relaxed any of you will have seen Dr. Beckett since emerging from the pods, as he casts off, before taking a seat on the stool.

"Aah, this is the life."

Re: FISHING! zouichi January 8 2012, 18:01:45 UTC

Zouichi settled down in a spot nearby, having rented some gear for the duration. He looked a little out of place, sitting on a pier dangling a line into the water in full body armor. But he was warm enough, and you never knew when things were going to start going wrong.

Even on shore leaves.

He nodded to Beckett. "You here for the contest?"

atadiscoverer January 8 2012, 18:05:43 UTC

"Aye, but I thought I'd get a wee bit of practice in beforehand."

Beckett had went shopping prior to all of this, and had bought clothes to replace his plantsuit, topped off with his Atlantis Expedition jacket from the ship. It was mostly warm clothing, understandably.

"After being stuck in a pod, I want to make sure that I still have the touch."

zouichi January 8 2012, 18:21:21 UTC

"So you've done this before?" Zouichi cast his line into the water. He wasn't sure if he'd actually catch anything, but he'd wanted to give it a shot, anyway.

"I don't think I ran into you on the Obs Deck. You're one of the new crew members, right?"

atadiscoverer January 10 2012, 02:33:50 UTC

"Aye, I love a wee bit of fishing. Nothing relaxes me more." He says, smiling. "Are you a beginner?"

He then nods. "Aye, I am. Dr. Carson Beckett." He offers his hand.

zouichi January 10 2012, 04:14:24 UTC

"Guess you could say that," Zouichi answered, taking one hand off the fishing rod to return the handshake. "I've never fished. ...Not in real life, anyway."

atadiscoverer January 12 2012, 01:31:57 UTC

"It's really quite relaxing when you get the hang of it."

He smiles as he leans back in his seat. "If you're used to more exciting pasttimes, this isn't for you, though. All about the patience to wait for a bite."

zouichi January 12 2012, 06:16:33 UTC

He smiled a little, as if at some private joke. "My job was the opposite of relaxing. So it's... nice, to do this sort of thing once in a while."

Zouichi had patience galore! Well, if patience involved waiting for a clear headshot, anyway.

Their conversation was quickly interrupted, however, by a sudden tightening of Carson's line. Something was in the water, and it had taken his bait.

atadiscoverer January 13 2012, 02:57:23 UTC

"Ah!" Carson reacts almost instantly to that tug. He's a practiced fisherman, after all, having spent most of his childhood at some of the prime fishing spots in Scotland.

He stands up and starts reeling the line in.

The fish struggles mightily against the line, attempting to dart away from the docks. But it's well and truly hooked, no matter how much it tries to get away. That doesn't top it from darting between the columns of the pier, though, while it's trying to escape.

zouichi January 13 2012, 20:45:53 UTC

Zouichi watched the events unfold with some interest -- while he did know the general idea behind reeling in a fish, he'd never really seen it done before.

atadiscoverer January 13 2012, 22:00:57 UTC

"Bloody hell!"

Carson is taken by surprise at the sheer strength of this thing. He staggers slightly due to the fish zigzagging between posts on the pier, and throws his all into pulling his rod up and reeling it in.

"It's a powerful beastie, I'll say that much."

hark_a_monster January 13 2012, 22:09:15 UTC

A heavy splash announced the surfacing of the fish, but it wasn't done yet. It slackened the line, suddenly, as if to catch him off guard, then renewed its efforts with almost as much force as before.

atadiscoverer January 13 2012, 22:15:15 UTC

And Carson is yanked forward, swearing out loudly as he is, obviously not expecting this fish to be as crafty. He's nearly pulled into the water, but digs his boots into the ground.

"Yer no' gettin' me that easy, ye wee bastard!" He's sounding like he's enjoying himself, however
