[lempereur]

His skills are more suited to something like this than most. Speed, ice magic, stealth. [ Sound like anyone else you know? ] He is getting better all the time. And do not worry, I would never expect you to stop working with Akira.

Anything to help my case would be valuable.

[codeoracle]

I know...he's helping me with something at the Swear-out. Possible distraction. If we need it.

[Yeah. About that. Sorry Yusuke.]

I'll make sure you're all up to speed if I hear anything...Even if you and Akira aren't...[She sighs softly.] We need to be on the same page or this isn't going to work.

[lempereur]

...a distraction from what?

[ Futaba pls. ]

What did he say, when you talked to him? Is he on board with whatever you're planning?

[codeoracle]

If...talking to Dooku doesn't go all that well?

[She winces slightly. Oops.]

He seemed to be...I mean it's a start at least.

[lempereur]

Talking to him about what?

[codeoracle]

Stuff. And things...?

[Okay that...that was not going to work she knew that. Instead, she sighs and flops over, draped across the arm of the couch with her face to the ceiling.]

Don't be mad.

Akechi was talking to him without realizing who he was and kind of...got roped into possibly meeting him. And I maybe volunteered to go with him...?

[lempereur]

I am not mad. [ He's a little mad. ] But why?

[codeoracle]

[She can tell you're mad.]

His "politics" and ideals. We haven't hammered out the specifics of our plan just yet, but...I wasn't going to let him go speak to Dooku alone.

And I wasn't going to keep that from you, so...sorry?

[lempereur]

[ It's fine...he just sighs. Why would he expect for things not to escalate at every opportunity? ]

He came to me to tell me that Dooku reminds him of Shido, why would he want to go anywhere near him?

[codeoracle]

[Constant state of escalation.]

They were talking on the network before Dooku introduced himself...He told me it was a mistake. I don't think he really wants to, but feels he has to?

[lempereur]

He doesn't have to. He shouldn't.

[codeoracle]

That's why I'm going with him.

[She sighs, now unsure if this was the right move to make after all.]

It's better than him going by himself...

[lempereur]

He neglected to mention that yesterday. It would be best if neither of you went, I don't see what he could possibly hope to gain that I could not tell him.

[codeoracle]

I was going to be at the swear-out anyway...[She frowns, curling up in her corner of the couch.]

We'll be careful.

[lempereur]

I will be at the petition booth, if either of you need me.

[codeoracle]

I know. Half the reason I'm okay with going along with this anyway.

...Sorry.

[lempereur]

Don't be. Just stay safe.

[codeoracle]

We will be.

I will be.
