[ The more normal she acted, the better right? She'd be there for him, but she wasn't going to treat him like he was about to shatter into a million pieces...if only for the fear that if she did that's exactly what would happen.
One bonus of living in the same city, however, is how shortly she could be to his place. And since his housemates were out, she's going to approach this situation like a normal person visiting a friend. No windows. Knock, knock.]
[ He would much rather be in his room, thank you, Jaime is already asking him enough questions about the window and going to the cops via text, he's not sure how he's going to avoid those questions in person if he comes home. ]
[She isn't going to argue against that. The comfort of being in your own room is something she can understand all too well--and she can't deny that lounging on a bed is much more comfortable than most other places.]
Perfect. I'll be claiming that as mine for today.
[She even gives him a grin before heading for the stairs. God's speed, Yusuke. God's speed.]
[ As if he would have the energy to argue, anyway. He doesn't have the energy for any god speed, either, even now that it's his default setting. He's coming... ]
[She's at least patient enough to wait outside his door for him. Bedrooms are personal spaces; even though she was invited here she wasn't about to head inside without him.
She doesn't mention how low he seems to be, she just gives another grin and moves into his room to take up space on the bed.]
I should be able to get access to cameras without any problems, so that will be covered...Brendan wasn't exactly willing to work with me--no deadline, nothing.
[ Yusuke sighs heavily as he opens the door. Honestly, there isn't that much room when you take into account all the paintings stuffed in there, all but one of a majestic, sleeping tiger riddled with mysterious puncture holes. The ice window isn't that bad of an idea, it helps with the summer heat, but it's starting to drip again. He'll deal with it later.
The artist takes a seat on the corner of the bed, leaving the rest of the space for Futaba to work her magic. ]
That is not surprising. He goes off the deep end and he stays there.
I've noticed. He said he'd be thorough and would drop it if evidence proves you innocent but...I'm not expecting him to be objective about it.
[She's taken up most of the bed space, sprawled out on her stomach and device in hand. She's clicking away with sufficient speed, brows creasing as she works to get through the security blocking access to feeds.]
He might still release something...so we need to be prepared to counteract it. Have proof of our own.
The visitor's center I can definitely get...It's a start to a timeline.
[She frowns, adding that to the list of locations to access. She's going to need some kind of back-up on this data at this rate.
She shifts to glance at him, a thoughtful look settling on her face.]
Maybe we could put a camera on you, or an active tracker. Something we can use to verify where you've been starting now...I wonder if your comm would have any of that kind of data available...
Edited (idek what is english) Date: 2017-07-14 04:24 am (UTC)
[ The footage of the wrecked parking lot and the ice spears through the windows would be more than enough to get him in trouble without any additional incidents, but she's right... ]
Okay. But not yet, I still have to give my follow-up report on Adachi.
[She doesn't like the idea of waiting to do this. She especially doesn't like the idea of him going to those...people without some kind of surveillance detail. But she knows monitoring of any kind would likely only make it easier for him to be caught.
They idea of him possibly ending up in a state like Adachi's (or worse) makes her shudder, her stomach tying up in knots and nausea welling up in her throat. She'd have to wait. ]
Alright...I'll see if there's any data I can pull from your comm in the meantime...
You can't make this report without going in person can you...?
[ He doesn't want to go in person, that's for sure, but Dooku asked for the file, Yusuke can only assume he meant a hard copy.
...wasn't he expecting a courier any day now? ]
Possibly. I am expecting a delivery via courier sometime soon, reconnaissance information about the Porter bases. I may be able to arrange it so that he takes something back with him.
I'll see if any streams have cameras that get your house in view...At least that way I can monitor things until you make your report...If you can send off the report with that courier you'll have a timeline where your pretty solidly at home for the most part...
[She still doesn't like any of this. The whole situation has her on edge and it feels like she can't do anything to help. He's definitely in too deep with the organization to pull out now, but every day he's involved risks exposure.
She rolls over to sit up, setting her device aside momentarily. It was running scripts and there wasn't much to do while coding processed. She's cross-legged now, watching Yusuke carefully.]
You...can't go it alone with these people. Especially when they likely don't trust Adachi as far as they can throw him anymore...Handling Brendan and this imposter situation is one thing, but what are you planning to do about Constellation when all of that blows over?
[ Being monitored to prove his innocence isn't an idea that Yusuke is very fond of. As formidable as Futaba was behind a computer screen, the Constellation had at least two people on board with similar skills, and there was always a chance that it could be found and used against him later. His best option, his only real option, when it came to them, was to stay the course. ]
I was not alone, when I started. If I had known who I was partnering with, I would not have done it, but now there is no choice but to carry on. Continue working to expose them until the mission is complete.
The fact you have to keep up with it isn't the problem. I'd like it better if you didn't, but I know the outcome is worse if you bail.
[She frowns slightly, unsure of how to put what she was feeling into words. She hadn't really taken the concept of infiltrating Constellation seriously before, but seeing what could happen to anyone that slips up under their watch terrified her--especially when such situations could include her friends.]
I don't like it when things lead to places I can't exactly follow. I can't cover you if I don't know details, and given what happened with Adachi you'll have to be more careful about what you tell us, and when...
This is a lot more dangerous than I thought it could ever turn out to be.
[ He turns to her, propping his chin on one hand. Yusuke can read her pretty well by now, better than most of the Thieves ever could. What he sees is worry, not too different from the other night, but without the slithering tentacles and blood dripping on the floorboards. His fault, all the same. ]
I can tell you whatever you want to know. I am fairly confident that the...ugliness I unleashed has saved me from suspicion.
Edited (i forget sentences sometimes) Date: 2017-07-14 11:56 pm (UTC)
It's still risky...Even if they don't suspect you now they could later, you know? Maybe we should figure out a system...a code or something.
[She rocks back and forth slightly before flopping back on his bed to stare at the ceiling. She could read his unease to easily just then--she doubted that the blame he put on himself was going to go away, but she still didn't like seeing evidence of it. He had been caught, either do what they asked or put himself on the same level as Adachi. It wasn't a situation that was going to end pretty no matter how he had decided to handle it.
She takes a moment to check her device, pleased to see she had uncovered at least one access point from a local server. Always good to see a code working the way it was intended.]
We'll focus on this imposter for now. I bet Constellation will want to validate your reports before bringing you in for anything else...we might have time on that front. Just--keep us updated on what they're doing or what they want you to do...
[And she can make plans to do her own research in the meantime.]
[ A code, or something similar, was probably a good idea, but Yusuke doesn't have the energy for much more than a nod in her direction before he slumps over on his side. There is plenty of room for him to curl up at her feet, exhausted from not just the recent horrors he's had to deal with, but everything. He is just so, indescribably tired, in his head, in his heart, in his blood. ]
Right now I am keeping my head down and playing the diligent student. I have another training session with Grievous later.
[Futaba watches him slump over, curled in on himself and looking pathetically exhausted. Not that she can blame him, considering everything that has been happening recently. It's as if they haven't had time to breathe as long as she can remember.
Still, she feels guilty taking up most of his bed when he's so obviously tired. She shifts to one side of the bed, settling on the edge before patting the space next to her.]
If you're going to train, you need to rest...and there's plenty of space for both of us. It won't bother me at all.
I'm not asking you to come here only to fall asleep while you work.
[ He says, as he stretches out a little more, until the crown of his head just barely brushes against Futaba's leg. Yusuke remains mostly curled up on his side, he never takes up all of the space he could, even when alone. ]
[Honestly, she wouldn't mind if he did. She could work just as well with him awake or not. In her opinion, he needed to take better care of himself and his needs--not that she was one to really talk.]
We're waiting for my script to finish running. It's got through to several feeds already, but I want to see just how many pop first...We should be able to monitor for your doppelganger well enough once this is done.
