You quickly burn through three of them by the time the two older men are half way through theirs.
>-MALTRO CIGARETTES!>+RESTRAINT REGENERATION ON YOU! +1 RESTRAINT HEALED, 4/9!<span class="mu-s">"Not my preferred brand but it'll do. The whiskey was good, poison aside."</span> The Admiral wipes away at the bright red blood still leaking out of his mouth. <span class="mu-s">"Feh."</span>
Ashley snaps out of her laughing fit once she realizes how you lit those cigarettes. "OH THAT'S FUCKING CHEATING!"
Lex merely shrugs. "Eh. What's the point of powers if you can't use them?"
Adam is smoking from his own pack of cheap, non-mind healing cigarettes as he watches over the still recovering Benedict. "This is what you two care about? I guess all of our brains got scrambled."
You turn on the PARADIGM camera and point it towards the Admiral.
>WILLPOWER CHECK: 26!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2KbscDqnMo - A WORLD LONG BEFORE YOUR TIME
The footage being shown on the camera's screen immediately brings a smile to the Admiral. The sepia-washed footage is of a busy city street that you have never seen in your life before. The people walking around have outfits that are beyond bewildering to you. The men wear overly fancy frocked coats or tailcoats with waistcoats underneath, tall top hats, and bowties. The women, meanwhile, wear overly flowery dresses with stupidly long skirts alongside some remarkably silly looking hats.
The streets and buildings are made out of brick, cobble, and honest to god wood. Not that cheap faux stuff that most wooden items these days are made out of. The only vehicles you see throughout the streets are some horse drawn carriages and carts.
The sailors, Abraham, and even your allies move in to watch the footage with the Admiral.
"What...is this?" Lex can't even begin to process what he's seeing.
<span class="mu-s">"London. 1900. I would've been 15 at that time."</span> The Admiral wistfully sighs...before his eyes widen. He points towards the screen.
Checking to see what got his attention, you see a young man in an overcoat two sizes too big for him walking down the streets alongside an older man with a long, flowing beard.
<span class="mu-s">"It's been so long since I've seen my father's face. So long, I completely forgot about it."</span> The Admiral, once a horrifying anomaly, is talking just like any other old man now.
"Son, if you keep up that gigglemug, I'm not quite sure you're ever going to find a woman for you." The older man wags his finger at the young Admiral.
"Father, father, need I remind you of the many tales this gal sneaker has been a part of?" The young Admiral smirks. "It is beneath you to assume so little of me."
<span class="mu-s">"Ah. When I was so foolish and innocent."</span> The Admiral shakes his head. <span class="mu-s">"So long since I've been like that. It was so many years ago."</span>
The footage immediately changes. A man in his early 20s stands at the front of a large wooden ship with an old flintlock pistol in hand, charging right towards another ship.
