Hello everyone,

Unless I’ve missed something in the past hour or so, it seems like our network hasn’t been compromised by whatever has caused this massive security failure. I have at least five messages in my inbox that I’m certain aren’t for me, but everything seems clean here.

I think, as the group of people with the (apparently) only properly functioning network (and various talents, in a manner of speaking), we’re obligated to use it to organize ourselves and assist. The entire city is facing more problems as a result of this breach than I’ve ever seen before from one event. If you’re not particularly interested in helping those that could be trapped in cars or victims of accidents right now, consider that the external temperature has been rising. I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m personally certain that once it gets around 55C I’m going to start dying.

The network has apparently been used before to coordinate teams of Displaced, let everyone know what’s needed and who to meet with, and I suggest we do it again. I’ll keep an eye on this and provide hotlinks to pertinent discussions, so anyone with particular skills or interests can volunteer themselves.

Stay safe everyone. Don’t spend too much time in the heat without decent protection, you can only help so much if you pass out in the middle of it.

that's fine, I can remember for the both of us

[ he is good at negotiating, i swear ]

for doing what?
I have [ someone to protect, but he isn't at all confident about saying something like that, not someone like him ]

stuff to do around the place, so I dunno how much time I have.

Pushing it.

[ as in "you are pushing it, young man."

but! what a strange turn for someone who errs toward flippancy. ]

Helping out.
But only where you can.

PRIVATE.

[retravel]

Whatever you're doing, are you going to be alright?
Be sure to pick up a mask first.

[ normally, he'd be suspicious — but heine had been attempting to be helpful in new tokyo and appears to be doing the same now, in his own insufferable way, so. ]

I said I'll steal some bikes for you
What more do you want? A bank?

[retravel]

Don't be ridiculous.
I'll just take the 10 bikes.

[ he's not not joking. ]

[whitehair]

uuuuuggggghhhhhhhhhh fine
not like you can steal money in this place anyway
probably.

[retravel]

Reckon credit fraud's outside your wheelhouse.

[ no offense ]

But thanks for the assist 👊

[ fistbump... ]

[whitehair]

w/e

hmu with that hotwire and I'll drop some off whenever

[ fight the power, fuck the cops 🙏]

[retravel]

[ FISTBUMP BACK NEXT TIME ]

PRIVATE.

[whitehair]

[ ATTEMPTING. that's the key word here. he isn't at all driven by morals and 'secret goodness in people's hearts' bullshit - it is more his nature to be distrustful, to second guess every gesture, and to keep his distance. that's his safety net, in the end, which goes both ways; if they can't come close enough to hurt, then he can't do the same to them. ]

yeah yeah dont go being concerned
I've lived thru worse shit than this

[ this boy needs 10000spf sunscreen, he is gonna crisp like bacon. ]

PRIVATE FOREVER.

[retravel]

I'm just being sensible, seeing as I doubt your life experiences made you immune to the practical consequences of ozone depletion.

[ JERK.

in all his melodrama and pessimism, fitz thinks, there's always something worse. ]

You know how to reach me, if something comes up.

[ the odds of a failed go at fussing over heine before he leaves the safehouse? v v high. ]

[whitehair]

sure do miss being immune to shit like that but hey, that's what gets you for having a chip jammed into your brain.

[ it would have come in handy right about now, to be honest. sure, he still healed, and he was still fairly strong, but it wasn't as if he could be burnt alive and live now, was it?

all in all, some shitty fucking hand being dealt out to him in this city. ]

if anything happens, just pick out the quickest route downward. I lived underground for reasons.

[retravel]

[ wait wait wait flashbacks to testing giovanni's blood ]

You've lost pre-existing physiogological immunities?

[ u can't just say that man ]

[whitehair]

if you wanna put it the boring way, yeah

[ you tested his blood ?????? ]

[retravel]

[ HE ASKED OK but they were only looking for the compliance drug and other party fare at the time. ]

A lot of people here retain their superhuman capabilities if they're linked to enhanced biology.
That you haven't is anomalous.

[whitehair]

well isn't that just great.

anyway, it's not all gone, just slow.

[retravel]

Fascinating.
We'll have to revisit this another day.

[ BACK ON TRACK: ]

For the moment, I'll see you at the garage. Hope you stocked up on SPF900.

[ he said what he said. pale pot @ paler kettle. ]

[whitehair]

or we can just forget that ever happened and go on our merry looting ways.

[ plz dont give him that weird science vibes, fitz ]

I got sunglasses and big hat and I ain't afraid of shit.

[retravel]

[ SORRY HE LOVES WEIRD SCIENCE ]

Up to you.

[ but time 2 eyes emoji into the night. ]

But we're looting with purpose, mind you.

[ TO HELP PEOPLE! ]

[whitehair]

[ if he fusses over him heine is gonna act like a scrappy dog ]

sure, yeah totally
