["I'm sure you are."

But that's all he's going to say on that for now. He's going to turn back to the rest of the room and cross his arms in front of his chest.

"We need some kind of plan here. Monroe told us to burn the regent at the stake, so she's going to be expecting that to go up soon."]

( "I thought, find similar height, similar weight," Mickey offers. "Torch her. Them. Not Davina." )

We don't know what experts she has on her. Torch them, but what if they know it isn't Davina. It buys us, maybe an hour. Let's just keep faking every death.

( Wait a second. Something occurs to him. )

But, what if we did. What if we engineered what looks like a public standoff, all enter the same building and -- blow it up. There are tunnels under the city, so we won't. But, it's easier to kill us all than to just kill Davina. That way, there's no stake needed - I'm -- guessing she wanted you burned at the stake.

[regentem]

She's feeling very symbolic. They killed the leader of the human faction in a church and hung thirty pieces of silver around his neck.

[Which to be honest she's still pissed about.]

And we can't just fake everyone's death. Eventually, someone is going to figure out we're not, and the people here can only take so much property damage.

[slavophile]

Do you have an idea to fake yours? ( To Bela ) Does your device protect her from fire? Can it be used again? Where do we go from here? Cooper's still dead, so he's out. I'm on comms and not leaving his side ( That's right, Mr. Sullivan ) so what do we do.

[regentem]

Taking them back to the Abattoir?

[Bela nods. "Likely the safest place, given it's the place that the Originals aren't at the moment. Freya's holding court in the cemetery."]

Good. We need to loop her in. I'll go with the boys. Stay under the radar. You take everyone to the cemetery and see what everyone else is doing. We can't keep operating independently. We need to work together.

[New Orleans has always been stronger for it.]

[slavophile]

So. Dead person's slumber party.

( Yeah, okay. )

Yeah. Usually I'm better with ideas, but. Not today. But, I'll be there if you need me. And I will hack into anything. I'm not out. Just. Dead with them.

[regentem]

Monroe's in the local city cams. Do you think you might be able to spoof them so she can't see what we're doing?

[That's something productive that would likely keep him focused.]

[slavophile]

( That, he can do. In theory. )

If I can get past the city network. I'll work on it.

[regentem]

We'll handle that. I'm useless until I get my magic back anyway.

[She wants to tell Bela other things, but they're all too personal, and best saved for later, when this is over and everyone's alive.]

Text us with the plan, and we'll do our best to have your backs.

[slavophile]

No. We'll have them. However. In the meantime, maybe while you two or dead, Cooper can find something at the Abbattoir that can help you, Davina?

( There's no telling, anyway. )

I'll drive us, since we have my car. You guys okay going with - what's your name?

( "Mickey." )

Be careful, Mia.

[blackstarred]

["She drugged me. I'm mostly just waiting for it to wear off, but maybe."

But Mia nods, as the boots on the ground turn to go.]

Always.

[And with that, they will go their separate ways and move into the next scenes of this act.]
