Alyssa Violetta
Oh lord, this…this is euphoric! Ok, ok got to get to the Gathers' Garden. If I get a Sonic Boom plasmid I'll be able to keep them away from me. Oh, wait.
"And now Ladies and Gentlemen, watch as I splice up without the detrimental mental and physical side effects. I have here the Sonic Boom and Aero Dash plasmids, as well as the Sports Boost and Head Hunter tonics. I got them by saving my little friend here." Daisy, she's asleep on the sofa. I guess becoming human again was tiring.
I can feel power, power like I've never felt before. The wind is at my command! Let those things get in here, I'll destroy them. Or at least mess up their hair, not exactly sure how powerful this stuff is.
"Hello? Hello? Ms. Violetta, are you there?" Holy Moses the radio's working again!
"Yes, yes! Brigid I'm here in the studio! I'm, I'm talking to my next guest Dr. Brigid Tenenbaum. Doctor your on the air, say hello to our audience." I almost forgot about the cameras.
"What are you talking about? On the air..Oh, oh yes. Hello everyone out there!" Wow, she's good at improvising.
"Now doctor, is our other guest on his way?" Be subtle Brigid, for the love of god be subtle.
"Yes, Mr. Mendez is on his way from Fort Frolic right now for his interview. Please excuse his tardiness. He, err, ran into some traffic."
"Well I certainly am looking forward to the interview, as is my audience I'm sure. They're practically BREAKING DOWN THE DOOR to hear it!"
"Oh my."
"Exactly…Now," Brush the hair out of my eyes and get back into TV mode, "tell us Doctor, what's new in your life? Any special someone?" When we get to the surface she's going to kick me for that one.
Marco Mendez
Finally, that crappy "Rise Rapture, Rise" is off. If I hear that song one more time I'm going to bash my own brains in instead of all those splicers'. Now let's call up old Tenenbaum and see what's up with her.
"Tenenbaum? Hey Tenenbaum, you there?" How do you work this thing?
"Yes Mr. Mendez, I am here. I am glad to be seeing the air waves free once more. You have done well, but there is one more task to be completed before we ascend."
"Yah, I've got to go rescue Alyssa. Where is Siren Studios anyway?"
"It is near Hephaestus. But do not worry, you will not have to go through that awful place. Since Ryan has died the Bathyspheres are no longer under lockdown. You can travel directly to Ms. Violetta."
"Really? Well, that's convenient. Should be easy."
"No, I'm afraid it will not be."
"Say what now?" She's such a buzz kill.
"The spheres are free now, but you must hurry. There have been stirrings. Because both Fontaine and Ryan are dead, a new entity will soon fill the power gap. And she will be just as brutal as her predecessors."
"She? Who are you talking about?"
"That is not important now. We have a small window of time before the city is on lock down once more. Get Alyssa, get to me, and we can get out. Now go Mr. Mendez! Our lives are in your hands." And the radio clicked off.
Wow, I bet she's a riot at parties. Ok, I just need to fight my way to the TV star, go to Brigid, and I'm home free. Easy as pie.
But who was she talking about? Who's going to fill the void left by the leaders of Raptures two fractions? Oh well, by the time that happens I'll be sitting on a beach soaking up the years of sunlight I've missed. I can feel it now! Note to self, get sunscreen.
Alyssa Violetta
What's that? Oh my god they've got a welding torch, they're cutting through the door! What am I going to do? Daisy.
"Well I'm sorry folks but it would seem that we are out of time for today. I'm Alyssa Violetta, and this is Utopia today!" Turn off the camera, and wake up the little girl.
"Daisy, Daisy dear wake up!"
"What? What's going on? Miss, what's that light at the door?"
"It's the monsters, they're coming." Smooth, way to keep her calm. "I need you to go back through the vent and get to Dr. Tenenbaum. Then at least you will be safe."
Her face, she looks so sad. "No! You saved me, I can't leave you behind. I don't want to lose you like Mommy and Daddy! I-I…"
"Now, now. Don't cry." I'll just wipe away the tears "I'll be fine. Watch this." I'll just use the old Sonic Boom and hello! Won't be using that chair any time soon, seeing as its in little pieces and all. Daisy seems to be less afraid now. "I can take care of myself. But I don't think I could deal with anything happening to you. Now, I need you to go." They're almost half way done with the door.
"But…"
"Daisy, I'll see you again soon. After we leave this place you and I will be on the surface together, I promise."
She hugged me and made for the vent. I hope I can keep that promise…But first, someone's at the door.
