I watched all the episodes with Tesla from Sleepers through Normandy this weekend. And now the Nikola Tesla muse that flitted through my head so often has settled down a bit. He's drinking the lounge bar dry of wine (or would, if it were possible... oh, the wonders of a never-empty virtual bar), he's criticizing my taste in music, he's telling a story (and sulking about the state he's in at the moment in it, despite the whole thing being his idea), and he's demanded a wallpaper.

Said wallpaper is below the cut. The story... well, it's at least proto-story, and the plot bunny has larger fangs than Tesla, and a fondness for donuts (and wine. It's Tesla's plot-bunny, of course the thing drinks wine to wash down the donuts).
