mental link: day 34

[erbier]

[ It is actually quite late when Ilde's soft voice moves through the hosts, her scent of smoke and earth. She is at a club somewhere deep in the city, dazzled by noise and light, something you are free to establish if you look for it. ]

( It has been suggested to me by a hacker named Y that I throw a concert to lure our bombers out again. )

[ This part is forthright, a statement of fact with no value attachment to it. ]

( I believe she is questioning who I really am. If I refuse this idea, I may encourage that. )

[ This may not be strictly true, but it is how Ilde has perceived their conversation. ]

( She seems to know something, but is it worth losing my guise? If not, how am I to refuse this suggestion and maintain it. I do not know if she is a part of the group who contacted us before. She may already know I am false and this is all a game. )


OOC: link & all threadjacking here very much encouraged!

[It's not the answer Mara was expecting, from the crackle of surprise over the link, but there's no judgement. Instead, there's a warm feeling of deep approval, the sort Mara feels rarely. What Ilde did was honorable.]

[With warm humor:]

( Are you always so altruistic? )

[erbier]

[ A faint touch of guilt. Ilde knows it isn't quite so sweet as all that, that she is aware she can now manipulate Nirad if she chooses. ]

( Rarely. But it has its uses. )

[snaphiss]

( Of course. )

( Let me know if the plan evolves in any other way. )
