mental link, day 22
( Got some information for you guys - Annie was good enough to get some of her makeshift spycams going, and we set ‘em up with the leaders of the envoys. Activated them last night. )
[ There’s a curl of gratitude for those who went along with his plan, for those who spun stories or distractions or contributed to convincing the leaders of the envoys that the trinkets of Annie goo were part of a mourning ritual. Is he gonna talk about the fact that he basically disappeared after that until they boarded the airship? Nah. Instead, he jumps right into it. ]
( Didn’t get a lot from the Carpathans or the Meradans, unless you wanna know what the inside of Saridian Black’s room looks like or what other gifts people’ve been giving him, or see more of the Meradans trash talking each other while playing games.
Got the same Second that Annie saw last time, who’s friends with the Seconds I know, and this time he was with Ysiddia Cabrielle. He’s her son, and they were talking with a Second from one of the other Houses about the murders and the Circle having its work cut out for it when we get to the Red Coast.
And the Descendents - pretty sure we got a couple of them talking about the murders. They were wondering if “they” were discovered, who discovered them and what their intentions were - might have something to do with the last time we spied on people through Annie, and she saw the Carpathans that got killed talking about new friends. That, and blood debts and someone named Casiria, and that no one in Black’s retinue could know about it. Didn’t know this until a little bit ago, but guess what information got passed onto Black’s retinue? )
[ His mental “tone” is deliberately neutral there, but the difference from the usual warmth to his mental link is probably pretty telling. ]
( One other thing, about the circle that was found burned in the ground a while back when we were still running around on the ground and the tracks next to it - Rhan said the circle doesn’t look local, but the tracks appear Rabadocean. Hard to pin down more than that so far, except they don’t really match the Hypyrians. )
[ Is he fixating on that a little too much, to be thinking about it still? Maybe, but he's not gonna let it go. ]

[ She probably doesn't really think that, she's just drunk and cranky from throwing up again...... ]
( Yeah, sure, hork the shit over, I'll destroy it. )
[ She doesn't always think of her art as a destructive act, but in this context -- feeling so pent up and miserable -- anything she puts down on paper is just taking poison from her own mind and embedding it, sizzling like acid, into the real world. ]
no subject
[ He's honestly not sure if she believes it or not - but he's not gonna treat it seriously, if she does. He's struggling enough being out of his element in all of this, on top of Bucky's increasing spikes of feeling useless. Sam's not gonna go down any kind of path there.
And he's not sure what to make of her saying she'll destroy it. He assumes she doesn't mean literally break all the art supplies, but still - ]
( That some kind of artist thing? )
no subject
[ There's a note of laughter there. She knows her limitations. That she's not really the one you should call when you want tech done, that she's not really the one you call when you want diplomacy done. And she's normally not the one you call to do covert spying bullshit, and yet here she fucking is. ]
( It's an Annie thing, don't ask questions you don't really want to know the answer to. )
no subject
( How do you know I don't wanna know? )
no subject
[ Thus, she assumes he doesn't want to hear about her private self-expression either. ]
no subject
[ He doesn't keep one, not beyond some journal shit a therapist had him doing, but that's beside the point. The point is he's not going to push if she's not interested, but it's not for a lack of wanting to hear about it. ]
( But I do wanna know. If you ever feel like telling someone. )
no subject
[ Not everyone had come out of her little meltdown quite so chipper about it. Murphy still isn't talking to her. ]
no subject
[ It'd been... a fucking experience, but with who he's got as a broodmate - well, it hadn't been anywhere near as bad as the time the programming in Bucky's head and tried to rip through his. ]
