Hey babes!

Remember last time I mentioned that sharing is caring? Well that's still true but instead of sharing skills and hobbies this time, I have information to share.

A few months ago while many of us were preparing to storm the castle in New Beijing, I happened to casually come into possession of two bags of IV fluid left behind from the arrivals. Yes, the same stuff that knocks us out and makes us do stuff even if we don't want to. Thanks to @caroline.forbes' awesome gala a couple weeks ago, I met and befriended my new lady mentor who happens to be a chemist at Giles Bell.

What a serendipitous coincidence!

Anyway! My new friend managed to break it down into two parts -

1. a super strong take down a herd of elephants or a dude named Cupid high on PCP on the subway sedative that weakens the nervous system (side note: does that make it a neurotoxin?)

2. ????????

Yeah, they ran into a wall on the compulsion drug (they don't know that's what it is). Apparently it's classified. Her boss tried, her boss' boss tried, no dice. It's a trade secret, that's fun.

Now she's a lil' curious though and they have questions I'm not completely sure how to answer. They're mostly where what who how and whens: where'd I get it, do I have more, do I know what it is and what is does, normal stuff like that.

I could tell the truth (New Beijing, yes, definitely yes) but I'm not entirely sure that is the right tact because it could open up even more questions. Let's brainstorm, babes.

if the gangs didn't have someone in their ranks, what's to say they haven't paid someone off to get what they need?

[chocolateries]

I dunno. I don't know how crime works.

[heliophilous]

lucky for you, i do.

[chocolateries]

I appreciate the lessons.

[heliophilous]

i never said i was going to give you lessons. i'd be a terrible fake dad if i did that.

[chocolateries]

Oh come on, knowledge is power!

[heliophilous]

not criminal knowledge

if you want, i can check with some contacts to see if they know anything about gangs in relation to this

[chocolateries]

If you don't teach me I could learn from more nefarious people, do you really want that on your conscience?

[heliophilous]

you wouldn't do that.

[chocolateries]

You underestimate how far I'll go to be petty.

[heliophilous]

i'm asking you not to do that.

[chocolateries]

Then plan a take your daughter to work day and show me how the underground works.

[heliophilous]

i don't really do that anymore, you know.

[chocolateries]

Yeah but you know people. And they know stuff.

[heliophilous]

i do.

and i'll consider asking them. but not right now.

[chocolateries]

Alright. I'll take that. For now.
