hangman is coming down from the gallows [closed]

[personalwar]

Who: Soldier: 76 (personalwar) & others
What: Catch-all log for October event! 76 is a fugitive, but that isn't going to stop him from digging for information. Part 2, escape and Wyver exploration!
When: October
Where: All around the dark shady parts of town, primarily in the Red Light District. Part 2, all over Wyver territory!
Warning(s): People may be trying to bring him in, so expect possible violence, language, etc!

[ This is a closed catch-all for me to put starters for any plotted threads. My plotting comment is here if you would like to do something! ]

[She's sure he's already put two and two together by now, and her attempts at being covert have become awash. But...her deflection does seem to work, at least it veers into something she is willing to dig deeper into.

And is less about her sneaking around and changing colours unintentionally.]

You are? Are they known to come here?

[personalwar]

Given that they were moving explosives through the city, I don't know where else they would have done their dealings.

[ That's the sort of thing that needs to be done on the down-low. Of course, he knows more than he's telling Allura, given that he'd also picked up the job from the Shady Man in one of the brothels here. Still, even without that knowledge, it's not a difficult connection to make.

Not that he needs to drag someone else into it. ]

If you're looking for a bar, I can point you in the right direction.

[ She should really be home in bed, but he isn't about to lecture her. ]

[This is true; if the underbelly of Olympia could be pinpointed, it would be this District here. Why she hadn't started here first thing was...well, perhaps due to a sense of propriety, and also knowing one of her close companions already patrols this area.

She looks up at the stranger confused when he brings up the bar, already forgetting her cover.]

The bar...why would I--? [Ah. Right. She blushes, looking away, and though her mouth is covered by the surgical mask, she's frowning at herself.] I...was actually not looking for a bar.

In fact, it sounds like you and I are on a similar mission.

[ At least 76 has managed to get this woman to tell him the truth, though he isn't about to pay her the same kindness. She doesn't seem to have any clue who he is, at least, which isn't that surprising. They'd once had a brief conversation over text message, but beyond that had never spoken. ]

You probably shouldn't be trying to hunt down terrorists while you're sick.

[ Yes, she'd denied it, but it's not like 76 believed that for a second. He tilts his head at the stranger. She's the sort of person who decided to join the guard, so he probably shouldn't be surprised that she's out here against her better judgment. ]

Is this something personal, or are you just a good Samaritan?
