yo

looking for some information on the lower bits of the cities and other shit

1: who has a decent amount of experience dealing with their bullcrap?
2: the "underground crimelords". anyone got names? physical descriptions? rumors? weird bits of tmi no one ever wanted to hear?
3. four shadiest bars/"gathering locations". you know exactly what i mean
4. narcotics. heard a lot of whispers about high death rates. anyone tested substances for an idea of what's in them? what bits of brain they effect? what's causing those deaths, or is it the standard respiratory issues?

5. where the hell did all the dogs go?

little younger
loud moral code
better idealizations

[fledges]

what? we can't be that far apart in age
what are you, 22?

[reneger]

maybe

[fledges]

god, don't start that man of mystery crap
look, if there are multiple people who are going to be running around this city trying to deal with crime, we should stay in contact at the very least

[reneger]

i'm 22.
probably not too important to stay in close contact

[fledges]

and why's that?

[reneger]

ask haf

[fledges]

god, are you trying to set us up or something?
you could just have a conversation with me like a normal person

[reneger]

i'm not a normal person

[fledges]

what do you mean by that?

[reneger]

it's not a secret message or anything
it's right there: i'm not a normal person

don't expect normal person behavior from me

[fledges]

fine
it's not like that's rare in our line of work
that doesn't excuse you from giving me a straight answer

[reneger]

i don't fight on your side of the law
i don't like working with others
tried it a few times, even. no one liked the results

[fledges]

okay
so what side of the law are you on? what's your goal here?

[reneger]

whatever the hell side i feel like being on
i haven't decided yet

[fledges]

this devil may care tough guy thing won't work on me
i don't think you're stupid enough to jump into the criminal underworld without a plan

[Don't disappoint her, Jason!]

[reneger]

don't underestimate how stupid i can be

[fledges]

suicidally stupid?
you don't seem like the type

[reneger]

i died once
jumped into something anyone with eyes could see was a trap
got the shit beaten out of me with a crowbar, was left in a shoddy warehouse with a fucking bomb
i fought like hell to get to the door even though none of my limbs would work
when i got there? locked. bam. you get the idea.

[fledges]

[Wow. That's... a lot. It takes Kate a second to process, and so her reply takes a moment longer than the last few.]

i'm so sorry
i can't imagine how awful that must have been
that doesn't make you stupid
i don't think i know anyone who hasn't fallen for a trap

[reneger]

no
it makes me cautious
means i know what bullshit can come from sharing information, for telling others what i intend to do

( wtf jason, secrecy is literally what caused the accident?? )

so fuck off and stop asking questions

[fledges]

fine
good luck with your one man army schtick
i'm sure it'll go without a hitch

[reneger]

no big loss for you if it doesn't

[fledges]

oh, please
i don't want anything bad to happen to you

[reneger]

you don't know me
