BEACH

[seafronted]

[would_ukindly]

[But what a sexy lie it is.]

S'pose ya have a point there. So, what's a man like yourself do in a city like this?

[ryanizing]

[... Well, yes.]

I was brought here by some unknown force. I don't know much about it, really, but there are worse places than Promenade.

[would_ukindly]

[MMMMMHMMMM.]

Aye, there surely are. And where do you hail from, if you don't mind m'prying?

THAT ICON

[ryanizing]

[Eh, he's too used to the question to be suspicious about it. Ryan turns back to the sea.]

A city called Rapture. Under the ocean.

V. ~*~MYSTERIOUS~*~ YES?

[would_ukindly]

[SNERK. No wait, there's really no touch of derision to his snickering or anything.]

Ya don't say? I never heard of such a thing. Sounds a bit like the lost city o' Atlantis.

OH SO MYSTERIOUS

[ryanizing]

There's little chance you would have heard of it.

[And that's all he's going to say because. He doesn't really want to talk about it.]

And, you?

THAT'S ATLAS FOR YOU

[would_ukindly]

I surely would've remembered if I had.

Oh, me? That would be Dublin, I'm sure comes as no surprise.

[An Irishman from Ireland. How pleasant and un-suspicious!]

What's it like? This city "under the ocean?"

]: <

[ryanizing]

[Yes. How wonderfully innocuous.]

There's quite a difference between how it was and how it is. I'd rather talk about the former, quite honestly.

>:D

[would_ukindly]

That so? What possibly coulda happened?

[LIKE HE DOESN'T KNOW. MUAHAHAHAHA. HA.]

/smacks

[ryanizing]

[SCREW YOU.]

In a word... ruin.

The people lost sight of their purpose in coming to Rapture.

[would_ukindly]

[No, that is absolutely not a snort he just made. He's just stifling a sneeze with his hand now, not a laugh.]

Yeah. Sounds like.

[ryanizing]

[Ryan turns away again. He doesn't really want to talk about Rapture. At the same time...]

It was a beautiful place, for a time.

[would_ukindly]

[Atlas smirks at Ryan's turned back.]

C'mon. You couldn't really have expected it to last, could ya?

[There is, perhaps, just the slight edge of malice to his otherwise cheerful lilt.]

[ryanizing]

[Ryan twitches a brow. Something about this cheerful stranger rubs him the wrong way.]

I absolutely did. Why suspect otherwise?

[would_ukindly]

Much mightier civilizations have fallen before. In fact they always fall, given enough time, don't they? Didya think you could isolate everyone at the bottom of the ocean and they'd all magically get along? Follow your lead?

Nah. Man don't work that way. They're always lookin' out for number one. And if they ain't number one themselves, well... Just saying. There's always some just a wee bit too ambitious to accept the status quo.
