Definitely international. You took out the cell in Mystic Falls, but they've sent people to scope out New York, New Orleans, Asia. She's trying to go as far as she can, starting with the local hunters, then expanding out.
matriarchate: (um really?)

[personal profile] matriarchate 2021-05-23 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
That cell was small. I assume the others, New York, New Orleans... they have larger outfits?

( She considers this. )

We need to work on dismantling enough, on tilting her entire operation so that we can devote one team to cleaning up the other, more obscure cells. There has to be a way.

I can reach out to the guys I know in other cells - the good ones. See if I can start spreading doubt. But ... you have the Winchesters, for better or for worse. It might be good if you started putting the weight of their name to work.
slavophile: (I just say meh)

( William speaks up. )

The Winchester's reputations vary among hunters, everything from, they will bring the end of the world, to they saved the world they almost ended. They have an inner circle, but beyond that, not everyone trusts them. There are...

( He leans over again, pulling his laptop from his bag hanging off the chair and opening it up in his lap. )

I did a few cursory keyword searches. The Winchesters do have loyalists that, according to texts exchanged, are not from this world. They could be untapped potential at leaking from the inside. And then, the last contingent would be Winchester apologists and... that won't get us far.

[Cooper shrugs.]

All your other assets would play better with the supernatural community than it would with mine. Unless your dad still has some pull?

[Allison's dad, not William's.]
matriarchate: (catching breath)

[personal profile] matriarchate 2021-05-23 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
( "Of the 1% variety." )

He means. Mine. I can see. Most of my dad's old contacts are old school. They didn't love that I took over in the first place, and Monroe gave them a male to believe in. But, I can ask how deep his bench goes. That's a good idea.

( Pulling your weight! )

I know your dad went through a lot in Beacon Hills and he lost a lot, but ... I think people still have a lot of respect for him.

[Respect doesn't always equal changed hearts and minds, but it's a start.]

And I would just keep the local cryptids on the look out. Try to lay low as much as they can.
matriarchate: (inhalation)

[personal profile] matriarchate 2021-05-23 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. Cooper, I am sorry about your brother.

( It must be said. )
positiveinfluence: (coop8)

[personal profile] positiveinfluence 2021-05-23 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

[He's never good with accepting sympathy, but that usually works.

Isaac nods, before he gets a text from Gloria. "If we're all good here, I've got somewhere I need to be."]
matriarchate: (wait)

[personal profile] matriarchate 2021-05-23 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
I am good. Thank you for reaching out. We can do this. William, you can handle the rest?

( He waves once to indicate he can. Allison closes her computer, leaving William and a departing Isaac.

"Okay. What do you think?"
)

[personal profile] positiveinfluence 2021-05-23 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
I think it's definitely better than what I was doing.

[It certainly could have been worse.]

I'm glad she's letting me help.
slavophile: (It's better than the alternative)

[personal profile] slavophile 2021-05-23 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Allison has a level-head and she knows who she can trust. Plus, Isaac didn't once give the signal so, you're trustworthy.

( But, Cooper would know that. He's sitting close seeing as they're on the same side of the booth, closer then when they sat across from one another. He likes this more. )
positiveinfluence: (Default)

[personal profile] positiveinfluence 2021-05-23 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods in agreement.]

Good to know. I prefer being trustworthy.
slavophile: (I have a freak flag)

[personal profile] slavophile 2021-05-23 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
You look good trustworthy.

( Danger, danger, mixing business with pleasure. )

I - need an hour to get you what you need, link your signal. We could - where do you want to meet?
positiveinfluence: (Default)

[personal profile] positiveinfluence 2021-05-23 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
I ... actually probably should get a few hours. Let me find a place to crash and I'll text you to let you know.

[He did drive through the night to get here, he should probably sleep.]
slavophile: (I stick to screens)

[personal profile] slavophile 2021-05-23 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Get some sleep. Whenever you're ready, I'll be ready.

( And he needs to slide out of the booth to ... let him out, so he does! )
positiveinfluence: (Default)

[personal profile] positiveinfluence 2021-05-23 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Coop nods as he slides out of the booth, and flashes a smile back to him.]

Thanks for the last minute meeting. I know I kind of dropped in on you.
slavophile: (business man)

[personal profile] slavophile 2021-05-23 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Do it any time. I believe in you.

( He falters. )

Cheesy?
positiveinfluence: (Default)

[personal profile] positiveinfluence 2021-05-23 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[His smile widens and he shakes his head.]

Not that bad kind.

[And then backs off to head out the door.]

I'll text you once I'm settled.
slavophile: (Be all you can be)

[personal profile] slavophile 2021-05-23 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
( William signals to the owner behind the bar, and sets down a few big bills with a thank you. )

Okay.

( Once Cooper is gone, William turns to the bartender. )

I played that cool, right?
positiveinfluence: (Default)

[personal profile] positiveinfluence 2021-05-23 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[The bartender just nods and flashes him an "okay" sign. Totally cool. Plenty of chill. You did good.]
