[ FILTERED TO RED SPY -- EASILY HACKABLE. ]

There's a road that apparently leads to Westport. I guess they finally listened!
[left unsaid is the sentiment that she wants to voice. How dare they? Though her voice is under control and is still just a cheerful as ever, the anger is still there. While she's been in the business for a fair amount of years

[Hm. He can hear that edge of anger alright, though from the way she's spoken before it can't be that unfounded. Unlike him, she's seen people in Westport.]

I suppose zhey did. Now zhe question is: do we want to go or not?

[Oh, yes, 'we'. He's not going alone, but he doesn't particularly trust any of his 'teammates' yet. And if Westport isn't fake, then he definitely is going, because where better to find intel?]

Of course we are. I'm not going without preparations though, darling~

[there is the faint sound of rummaging around in the kitchen cupboards before there's an 'aha' of triumph. Congratulations, Milla has acquired 'knife'!]

Fair point. We should organize a meeting time and place -- say, in an hour from now. Bring along whomever you like, should you have ozher allies.

[The more people he can use as meatsheilds/scapegoats in the event of a crisis, the better, after-all! He takes her cue and starts to rummage, though the bedroom proves to be a bit harder to find weapons in than the kitchen. It would be hard to beat someone to death with a Beloved Family Portrait. Once again, he has to leave the phone while talking to Milla and scour the house for weapons. A knife would, of course, be preferred, but none of the knives in the kitchen are the sort that would work well... and anyway, he can't knife someone without sneaking up on them first, and without his cloak, he's loath to try. The next-best thing? A poker from the fireplace in the living room. Heavy, iron, and with the added bonus of a decorative (and sharp) metal design on the end!]

Je retourne. Have you thought about a meeting place? Zhey said zhere was a main road zhat we'd have to take. Perhaps near

Are you bringing anyone, then? [now that she has a plan for going into Westport and at least figuring out what's happening, she sounds a lot calmer and happier. Just for safety's sake (and the fact that she cooks, so she knows these knives) she packs a chef's knife and a utility knife. All the better to seperate your meat from your bones with...even though Milla has grown so accustomed to blasting them with her mind or just confusing them enough that it's debatable if she could do it.]

At the road's mouth will be perfect. Thank you!

I was just about to ask you the same thing! I think it's worth a shot, even if Lil- uh, the others aren't there after all.

Of course you did! Great minds, they think alike! When you got your powers returned to you, Razputin, did you get any of the upgrades along with them?

Re: [Filtered]

[ra_ra_razputin]

Nope, I just have all the basic stuff. I guess they don't want to be too generous.

[that's a serious problem, but Milla can't say she's too surprised. She should have trained more without her powers in the case of this, but who would ever have thought that this would happen? Psychonauts have their power from the day they discover them all the way to their early demise or death, whichever one comes first. Even insanity lets them keep their powers.]

Hmm. That will pose a problem. Bring extra weapons, just in case, alright?
