[psynchroneyes]

What! Come on, it wasn't that obvious—otherwise he wouldn't have bought it!

[failsaver]

It was pretty obvious, milady.

[psynchroneyes]

I hope that says more about Ceo than it does me.

[failsaver]

Uh.




I don't know if he gets out much.

[psynchroneyes]

... I guess there's not much sentient life left out here, huh...

[failsaver]

Mm.

I kinda expected some big bad wolf, but he's just.

Sad.

[eonsadrift]

He's pathetic, lonely, and he has anger issues.

[failsaver]

[ just. looks at him. ]

[eonsadrift]

[ He looks right back. ]

...I know the type.

[jerkalope]

Yeah, not to stereotype but pathetic, lonely, and anger issues earmark most of the prisoners I oversee.

[ look at him helping Zenith have plausible deniability ]

[eonsadrift]

[ gee thanks warden you're a bro ]

[failsaver]

[ hm. files all of that away. ]

Well, whatever. We're never gonna see him again, right?

[ he does not believe that for a second ]

[psynchroneyes]

... Yeah. He's done some fucked up things, but that sums it right up.

[failsaver]

Mm.

[ he has feelings but this is neither the time nor place ]

You were pretty cool back there, milady. Obvious bullshitting doesn't make you uncool.

[psynchroneyes]

Of course not. In my line of work? You gotta fake it 'til you make it.

[failsaver]

...what do you do, again? 'side from your usual goddess duties, that is.

[eonsadrift]

He doesn't know you as well as I do.

...and that bit about "him" and the book was a very masterful bit of "bullshit".

[psynchroneyes]

It better have been! On that note, we can consider our debt to Red paid.

[eonsadrift]

So he wants that book, then..? I suppose that was also easier than expected.

[psynchroneyes]

I'm... not sure about the book, exactly, but I plan on asking him about that. He just told me he wanted Ceo's reaction to the other thing.

[eonsadrift]

...seriously? All he wanted was for you to give him a weird, cryptic message?

[psynchroneyes]

My thoughts exactly.

[eonsadrift]

It did seem to upset Ceo, momentarily...

I wonder what it meant. Who else does Red think we still "have"?

[psynchroneyes]

It could be a bluff... Unless it isn't.

[eonsadrift]

It did seem to really upset the guy. I've never seen him quite so taken aback before.

Too bad Red is unlikely to elaborate.
