This is Brendan Frye. If it's urgent, you might have a better chance o' tracking me down on foot. If I'm not answering, chances are I've gotten in over my head with something, not that I'm refusin' to give you the time of day. So leave me some words and I'll get back to you as soon as I don't have a fire to put out.

[ ...thank you, Brendan, for not making him say it. ]

Yes.

But it wasn't blackmail.

I am a member. Me, and the person I hurt, we've infiltrated, to topple them from inside. He was caught talking about it with people, and since he recruited me, I was made to force him to talk. We put on a show to get the names out of him, or I get tied up and stabbed repeatedly right next to him.

They know. My friends from home all know. Yuri's family even knows. It was someone from my own world that roped me into doing this with him at all.

Which is my fault.

I am in contact with the leader. Frequently. He isn't onto me. My violent outburst was very convincing. I play nice with his wild animal of a general, for combat training. I stockpile cards, spread his exaggerated propaganda, and help organize his Swear-Out protest.

If I was under suspicion I'd have been attacked by now, as careless as I've been.

...thank you, but I can't keep blaming him for it. I joined of my own free will.

It was me. I volunteered. He was happy with it, we see each other somewhat regularly. Even disregarding collateral damage and my own life, killing him won't do anything, the nanites will bring him back. He needs to confess.

But there is plenty of dissent, already. Infighting. There is plenty I don't know about, I'm sure, everyone operates under codenames and I only know a handful of real identities. But what I did ended up being controversial.

You are not getting yourself killed over this. Whether you are brought back or not, I won't have it.

Typically, we force confessions. But that would take too long. As far as recording one...maybe. He speaks just vaguely enough so that he isn't incriminated, everywhere but the team's own network. I am not willing to torture anyone else just to get a private audience with him.

I could leak Dooku's name right now, but the Constellation hasn't actually been caught doing anything wrong. Suspicious, sure, but not illegal. What good would that do?

I said no. I can stay as long as I have to if it means nobody gets hurt.

...how well do you know Futaba? You are not wrong.

I never have been. But it's possible, if they suspect. They caught Adachi by putting a bug on his ear. A tiny piece of flesh, or....something.

Every name I know, he knows that I know. And it isn't many. I know most of them only by their codenames. We would need to gather more.

She is amazing. We can all agree on that. I would be dead a dozen times over if not for her.

She's working on it. They have people as good as what she does as she is, it's taking a while. But she will.

I have no delusion that this will happen overnight. I am in a good position now within the organization, I can wait, as long as I get things handled outside of it.

Making amends, fixing my mistakes.

....I don't know if this counts. I just wanted to say hello.

I will keep you informed.

Did that drug ring include violent telepaths and shapeshifters? Everything is trickier here. It was much more simple for our team when we were the only ones with otherworldly powers.

I'm sorry. I don't mean to drag you into this.

Futaba is the kindest person I know. She's incredible, but persistent. Be assured that she will push me if I need it.

And I will start on the snuggling right away.

lempereur: (Wait this one is traumatic)
From: [personal profile] lempereur
Even so, I did not contact you to make your life more difficult, or to enlist your help. Although, I think I will need all that I can get. So, thank you. Sincerely.

You are the first of what I am sure will be many to bring up our sex lives. I may as well start getting comfortable with it now.

They treat me better than I deserve, don't you worry.

lempereur: (watching blank stare)
From: [personal profile] lempereur
It started before we met. I would say we are more than even. If anything, I will be in your debt, assuming we both don't get ourselves killed.

We know. We have done plenty of talking about it. I am prepared for questions, but whatever most people think of me is of no concern.

I can hardly remember to feed myself, most days. I do not need a dog.

That sounds pleasant. The drinking heartily bit.

I have no idea what that means.

My roommate has two dogs already.

So many awful ones to choose from...

I like the way you talk. When you are not angry. It's eclectic.

That sounds terrible. I'd love to.
