Has anyone seen Booker DeWitt? Tall, sandy hair, typically frowning, has 'AD' on his hand? He's at Good Spirits usually, but I haven't seen him there in the past few days...

[She's been looking, too. Ever since that strange hole in everyone's memory, the destroyed wall in her bedroom, and Booker doing a disappearing act, she's felt very uneasy about his being missing. But all of his things were still in the house, so he couldn't have gone far...]

If anyone sees him, would you let him know that I'm-- that Elizabeth is waiting for him to come home?

[Action]

[In the mean time, there's a giant hole in her bedroom wall, and her bedroom is, of course, a disaster area. It's a little unnerving, truth be told, to not remember where so much damage came from, but she's trying to focus on Booker instead of her own memory. She's trying to distract herself with cleaning--moving chunks of wall out onto the grass outside, shaking out her bedding, attempting to put a curtain over the giant hole until it gets fixed...]

You're not a superhero? Are you a secret agent then? [Because in her experience, only spies and superheroes had codenames.]

My best ability? Oh... I don't know... [Like Kurt, Elizabeth's 'best ability' isn't something she wants to make public. Booker, Robert, and Rosalind were all afraid of it. Who's to say it would stop there if she talked about her ability to open tears?] I'm very resourceful, when I have to be!

Not exactly. Sometimes I guess we are kind of like superheroes or secret agents... but really we're just students at a school, for mutants. And we mutants... Part of how we get by is taking on codenames like that.

[He ponders.]

Resourceful, huh? Maybe you could call yourself... Re-Source!

Oh, I see. To stay anonymous, then. Like a pen-name.

Re-Source? [Elizabeth's tone indicates just how she feels about that.] I think it needs a bit of work.

Something like that.

[And he's pouting at that.]

Okay, okay, maybe it wasn't a good first try. Give me a minute and I'll think off something better!

[She laughs softly.] Alright, alright. I'll let you off the hook this time. But whatever you come up with needs to be amazing!

I'm eternally thankful. But how am I supposed to nail it with that kind of pressure?!

No pressure! I, the patron, will wait for the artist to express himself. [She laughs again.]

That's very generous of you! Ans as for me, the artist, I'm sure that I'll think of something. ...Any second now!
