I can see that. You always did have that prissy, stuck up attitude.

[he's teasing. except it's kind of true.]

[healinguilt]

[ Sadly. ] There's nothing wrong for picking from those who are at the top. And working with what you have to get there. [ Slight hair toss over her shoulder. ]

[selfmotivations]

[did he tell her he's the heir of one of the biggest power houses in his world and could technically take the head position with little contest if he wanted to? he can't remember. not that he would tell her now. not exactly best timing even if it was to play along with the little segue they have going on right now.]

Guess there's some strategy to it. [and segue over because this leads to another thing.] Speaking of those up top, heard anything more about how Nocturne works?

[healinguilt]

[ BUT ALL HE DOES IS RUN A TAVERN IN THE END.

Aaand fun is over. ] Wesley is the one who seems to be delegating most of the tasks. I'm fairly certain there is someone in command over him, but I could not find out who.

[selfmotivations]

[better than dealing with crummy politics. he'll take the tavern any day.]

Did no one know or did they just pull the "only need to know" crap?

lae if im getting anything wrong tell me

[healinguilt]

Those of lower research or security positions did not know. [ Shaking her head. ] When I tried to... carefully ask those who appeared to be of more authority, they responded with the latter.

nope you're good

[selfmotivations]

Hm...interesting. Now I really have to wonder who's pulling the strings and why they're being so secretive about it.

ima say kermit the frog works for nocturne next okok

[healinguilt]

If they're keeping it from their own employees, then it would be something that could possibly bring about less loyalty, perhaps.

ROTFLMAO

[selfmotivations]

Could be. Or something else going on.

[he lets out a breath as he crosses his arms behind his back and leans against the back of the truck.]

Man this is complicated...

[he tilts his head slightly to look at her.]

Have you told anyone else this? Kid? He should probably know.

Re: ROTFLMAO

[healinguilt]

I've told Xerxes Break.

If I told Kid, he'd most likely mobilize who he has working for him into groups and begin some sort of operation. And if that happens, Nocturne would known soon enough and the safety of all of us working for Nocturne would be jeopardized.

[ Also telling kid she's been doing evil things hahaha fuck that shit. She don't want no shinigami on her ass. ]

[selfmotivations]

Fair point.

[...wait.]

All of you? There's someone else working in there?

[healinguilt]

There are others. Sherlock, Kazuya, and... Lacie either was captured or voluntarily came to them, I'm not certain. They are the ones of which I am aware.

[selfmotivations]

Man...and here I was worried about you being alone. But that's an interesting group they have going there.

Do you ever meet with them?

[healinguilt]

I've spoken with Sherlock a week ago, and I've spoken with Kazuya just recently on what I know [ By this point at least. ] and plan to follow up on Lacie.

[selfmotivations]

So what are their motivations for working with them?

[healinguilt]

I do not know.

[selfmotivations]

What, never bothered to ask? Or even a little curious?

[healinguilt]

I can hazard a guess for Kazuya and Sherlock, but ultimately I do not know. Nor would I ask. I didn't see how it was important.

[selfmotivations]

Would be good to know if we have actual traitors or if they're like you and pulling a double.

[healinguilt]

Well... I was a traitor first, too. Technically speaking.

Sherlock is not the type to answer questions directly. His latest theory about me is that I am attempting to control him. As for Kazuya, I trust him enough professionally and can ask him, I suppose.

[selfmotivations]

Technically.

Just keep up a group of allies. If you get in trouble, you can at least have someone there to fall back in. If you both get in trouble—well, still better than if you were by yourself.

[healinguilt]

Admittedly, it's a bit difficult to get in touch with any of them while there, but I'll see what I can do.

[selfmotivations]

Just keep tabs on each other. You don't want to look like you're conspiring together, either. Just the casual meet up and such. Keep it natural.

[healinguilt]

[ Um. ] Anything else you'd like to add, Mr. Expert?

[selfmotivations]

[—ah.]

Heh, sorry.

[he turns away.]

Guess it's been a while since I've had to actually think about these things so it's all just kind of flowing out.

[though what does that say about him, he wonders. knowing all of these nuances on how to trick and manipulate people.]
