We cannot tell them to get fucked ... [And he winces slightly at the language.] Until we have something on them that would allow us to say that. Safely.

[thecrimsenletter]

[she sighs] No, of course we can't. They've got so much hanging over us so they can manipulate us, I wish we could find out something similar about them.

[il_mostro]

Do not wish it. We should make it happen. The only way we will get any leeway with these people - is if we have something we can use against them.

[thecrimsenletter]

Yeah. Yeah. Though, I have to admit, I'm kind of at a loss as to what that might be. You've been here longer than I have, do you have any ideas?

[il_mostro]

Well, we said we were going to form a group. Perhaps if we had someone with a clean record for these sorts of things ... they might offer to be a liasion with Duplicity's government.

[thecrimsenletter]

I could do that. I could. When they were passing out citations like they were candy on Halloween, I didn't get a single one. Not one.

[il_mostro]

Is that so ...

[Hannibal's smile curls up at the corner.]

Then I believe you have found your platform, my dear.

[thecrimsenletter]

Sounds like it. Now all I have to do is arrange an interview and outwardly be on my best behavior.

[il_mostro]

Which is all we really need ... however, I believe we can hurry this along with an idea I have been trying to piece together for some time.

What would you think of a community center?

[thecrimsenletter]

[in her best junior politician voice] I think that sounds like an excellent idea to not only build a sense of community, but also bridge the gaps between dominants and submissives by building a place for us all to share equally, without regard for who is which designation.

[back to normal] Which is a fancy way of saying, go for it.

[il_mostro]

[A faint smirk came over his face.]

I appreciate the junior delegate's support in this delicate manner.

[thecrimsenletter]

[she smirks back]

Hey, you've been here a lot longer than me. You know how this place works and where its weak points are. I defer to your judgement while maintaining a voice of my own.

[il_mostro]

A wise choice. I am considering my next move, while you complete yours. I believe we need a solid base of operations -- and a place to call our own.

For those who are LIES prisoners, that is.

[thecrimsenletter]

So, something that appears one way, but is actually a front for other stuff? Or is the front a bonus feature?
