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.

xoxo Silena

did you get any solid advice?
because i'm not good at science or lying
i generally tell the truth and then try not to die
which is maybe not the best idea for a bunch of people

( maybe. )

what do you want to do?

( percy doesn't know these people. he knows silena, he cares about silena. and innocent lives, but details. meh, get those outta here. )

I got a lot of leads on things I can lie about.

I want to tell her the truth, but she strikes me as as good a liar as you are so putting that on her and expecting her to lie to her bosses seems cruel. I think I have to lie to her so she'll think she's telling the truth.

[ripstides]

i'd want to know the truth
but i don't know if her bosses are the firing or the decapitating type
and maybe your friend really likes having a job and her head attached to her body
it's the little things in life

if you think keeping her in the dark is what's best, then i'll back you

[chocolateries]

I think most mortals are not the decapitating type. For the record.

It's also hard to tell the truth and keep the whole displaced thing a secret. I can't tell everyone else's secret, that's not fair.

[ripstides]

i don't know, i've met some pretty messed up mortals
but fair point

( at least with gods and monsters, you have an 80/20 assumption it's going to be a terribad experience. )

i wasn't saying you should
i'm trying to work through it
i wish we could dose someone that actually deserved it and have them lead us back to their stronghold

[chocolateries]

RIGHT THAT WOULD BE THE DREAM! We could get so much information!
