It's going???

Honestly, it's been pretty nice. Everyone here has been... pretty good people.

There's a guy here who is a total Kovacs clone. Grumpy grumbling asshole who is secretly a big marshmellow. I've been leaving drawings of goofy-looking turtles everywhere, since his codename is Tortoise. Makes him all pissy.

Look at you, working hard and making friends! I just shed a whole proud tear.

〈 and skipping past the type of people in the labor camps— 〉

Have you heard anything about the camps from them? Ways of getting in or moving supplies?

[shadysided]

Gee, thanks. I guess I'm really learning how to be a team player these days. No more 'outcast out on her own' around these parts.

I know that they're preparing a metric shit ton of supplies in the tunnels.

Looks a lot like they're getting ready to hoard away the camp prisoners.

[construing]

Any idea when?

[shadysided]

Not 100% sure. I think they're trying to collect as much as they can first, so they're completely prepared. But... maybe the next few days? I can't imagine longer than a week... Things have been amping up a lot with them interfering with the new prisoners in transit, so it's not like they can prolong it more than they have.

[construing]

That at least gives me a ballpark. Thanks, Ziggy.

〈 her cover sure sure isn’t going to hold much longer. 〉

You staying safe? Or safe as these missions allow, anyway.

[shadysided]

Way safe, yeah. The people in the Fables have been keeping me on the sidelines a little. I think maybe they're worried about sending out a teenager for the heavy lifting.

Maybe I should tell them I've already got plenty of trauma under my belt, so they don't need to sweat it.

[construing]

Speaking as someone with a truckload that a plane later crashed into of trauma under her belt, I wouldn’t recommend it.
It doesn’t get more tolerable. It just keeps adding up.
You don’t have to be on the frontlines to make a difference. You’ve done plenty where you’re at. And you can keep doing good.

[shadysided]

I appreciate them (and you, I see you) trying to keep me from spiraling into a complete wreck... but I think once you've killed a few people already, it's kind of past the point of sidelining someone. If I'm going on these missions, I think there's no getting around the crashing car pile up.

[construing]

Probably. The pileup sure doesn't discriminate by age.
Not gonna stop looking after you, though. We Bopped to the Top. We're bonded now.

[shadysided]

Ugh, you're gonna use that movie against me for life, aren't you?
