She stole Stiles, so you stole....

If the plan ever involves getting arrested, steer clear of Agent Parker. No relation?...

Luke Parker. But I don't think it counts as stealing when he came to me to try and get information out of me.

[Or at least that's how she'd argue it. She just didn't let him leave. But to his second question:]

No. She's not a witch.

[There's a pause, because remembering how it felt to put a hand on her, and she can't help but feel this sinking, horrifying sensation. Is this going to become an obsession? Maybe. Good thing she has better things to worry about.]

I don't know what she is. I don't think she's human.

Our alchemist is Gemini.

Better to not end up on the wrong end of an FBI investigation, sis. Maybe let this one go.

He is. Though I think he's resigning his post.

[Jaqueline doesn't know if she can. It's rare she runs into something she doesn't know, but she will at least promise to keep it to internet deep dives and not go confront the woman in person unless she has reason to.]

Fine. But if it turns out she's an eldritch beast from dimensions unknown, you're going to wish you had me digging.
maxxx: (green what could you possibly)

Pretty sure, you and I are his only Colony contacts, but he does play his client list close to the vest. I wouldn't be surprised if he wormed his way into the other families.

Not if I convert to Cthululism.

[personal profile] tearhiseyesout 2024-11-10 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll see. Sierra was with me so the Harpers are probably out too.

Then if you want to surrender to the madness of the beast, that's your own sanity to risk.
maxxx: (red gun at the ready)

[personal profile] maxxx 2024-11-10 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Then we are probably his only Colony contingent. Or, we were. That dicks any alchemical needs we have.

You wouldn't save me from a Lovecraftian cult?
tearhiseyesout: (jaq14)

[personal profile] tearhiseyesout 2024-11-10 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll make it up to him. And if we're desperate, I have some other contacts.

[Of course she would save him from a Lovecraftian cult. But for the purposes of the banter:]

I'd like to believe you're too smart to get tricked into a Lovecraftian cult in the first place. But if you want to prove me wrong ...
maxxx: (that really surprises green)

[personal profile] maxxx 2024-11-10 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
And it all comes out of in the wash!
tearhiseyesout: (jaq12)

[personal profile] tearhiseyesout 2024-11-10 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Sue me for having faith in your intelligence and sense of self-preservation.
maxxx: (green knew you would)

[personal profile] maxxx 2024-11-10 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
You really think you can sway him back into helping us. If we need it
tearhiseyesout: (jaq7)

[personal profile] tearhiseyesout 2024-11-10 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I think he's more pliable than his sister. And if I promise to set aside my irritation at his sister in exchange for his help ...

[She thinks he's persuadable.]

And honestly, I could have done much worse to him and I didn't. I think that should get me some points.
maxxx: (technicolor lean forward shuffle)

[personal profile] maxxx 2024-11-10 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
And it's not like alliances are born and broken out of necessity. I agree.

Where are we meeting when we're back in the states?
tearhiseyesout: (jaq4)

[personal profile] tearhiseyesout 2024-11-10 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Wherever you want? I assume David has a plan for him and Sierra to meet up.

[She's not sure if she likes the fact that Sierra is putting herself on the map so that the Gauntlet can be called in for real, but they need the cover of the bloodshed. It's a necessary evil.

She just hopes that by the time they're done in Mexico, Sierra will still be in one piece.]


Are you going to be able to handle Mr. Blinders?
maxxx: (shadow kill me now)

[personal profile] maxxx 2024-11-10 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Should the question on the table, can he handle me?

He's not a hard nut to crack. Find a body and point him in that direction. Rinse, wash, repeat.


( but he knows what she means. )

I also grow on people not immediately inclined.
tearhiseyesout: (jaq13_2)

[personal profile] tearhiseyesout 2024-11-11 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
Then we'll see how it goes. But if he becomes a problem, don't let him get the better of you.

[She's not sure she trusts Rusty yet. But she can agree that they're on the same side.

For now.]
maxxx: (that really surprises green)

[personal profile] maxxx 2024-11-13 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Unless our wants diverge, but I won't underestimate him. I know the stakes.
tearhiseyesout: (jaq5)

[personal profile] tearhiseyesout 2024-11-15 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Good. See you when you get state side.

[And with that, she will go back to sleep.]
