[ this was supposed to be one of Gaby's days off. in fact, she's not in the safehouse when the message comes in. ]

Turns out that we're missing two new faces around the safehouse.

I'd play a guessing game as to why I wasn't told, but I don't care. These two faces apparently murdered two people that night.

I don't know who they are, but I do know that they're locked up. Any guesses as to what's going to happen to them?

Genuine question. Because I don't know.

Oh, and because some of you think you can do whatever the hell you want around here: don't think the way out for them is a jail break. Don't even fucking try it. And no, Morningstar isn't in the business of breaking people out of jail, because that would be stupid.

[ she's a little angry. no. a lot. but mostly she doesn't know how to handle this one. ]

Look. You know something? Tell me. You won't be "in trouble."

Back off, Rider. This isn't the wild west. Even admitting you know them will screw us all over. You go anywhere near them and they'll haul you in instantly.

Make that 2 of us.
We don't need the added risk of your boner flapping, @kalem.rider.

Loki
What business do you have getting involved in this? My actions shouldn’t have any weight in what happens to you.

[selfimage]

Don't be thick.
What do you think would happen if you ran off to jail and did your whole busting out thing?
Even if you're not caught, the implications of the removal of 2 prisoners with blank neural implants bodes conspiracy.
You can guess where that leads.

If it implicates me, it's my business by default.

[kometes]

I can't fault you for being concerned for yourself, but I'm selfish. I do what is in my interest.
I'll stay my hand for now, but I'm not waiting forever.

Do these mortals make you nervous?

[selfimage]

Do I have to dignify that?
Please, there are better opportunities here than punching something until it's better.

[kometes]

I won't claim to be more clever than you, Loki. So enlighten me.

[ he's rolling his eyes. ]

This is the first time that there's been an incident, otherwise those who have been displaced have been safely collected and returned to the Morningstar safehouse.
Somehow I doubt that something like this was in the playbook.

Are you following me?

[kometes]

I understand all of this. What are you getting at?

[selfimage]

Those who displaced us want us in Morningstar's care.
What happens when someone isn't?
They may share the risk as much as we do.

[kometes]

So you think we should just let the enemy take care of this.

[ It's smart. Infuriatingly, this sort of reminds him an awful lot of Odysseus. ]

[selfimage]

I think we should see what happens if they do.
If they don't- well, we have another sort of answer, don't we?

[kometes]

What answer is that?

[selfimage]

That they don't care.

[kometes]

That won't help at all.

[selfimage]

Of course it does.
It puts us one step closer to finding out if we're deliberate or a happy accident.

[kometes]

There you go again.
I find it hard to believe that someone would summon a god without any purpose in mind.

[selfimage]

Here I go again.
Not just any god- me, specifically. It's hard to believe it isn't.

[kometes]

You've made your mark in legends and history.
Just like me.

[kometes]

Then propose something better.
I’m not letting him rot in prison for the rest of his life.
