14F13 [AUDIO]
[The audio clicks on and Costigan sounds less than thrilled. He's been busy in the city, outside the bottle, and has very little patience left.]
Fuck.
Catty and Vanessa are both gone. Their suites are cleared out and everything. [A pause.] Anyone else work with them on their rehab program? I can fund and manage it, but I need volunteers to do the.. Counseling? Listening? Fuck if I know.
[encrypted 97% to Evandau]
[Costigan clicks on the video. He looks a little disheveled from the fighting, but he's holding his own fairly well. He looks at the camera.]
There's a kid here, Midii Une. You don't have to talk to her now, but I need to make sure she stays until you do. She's a good kid.
[He runs a hand through his hair. It's not an order, of course. Even though it's a statement, the tone of voice suggests it's a request. Costigan knows better than to make demands.]
And I could still use a better encryption program.
[ooc: I know lots of characters are in the bottle. If you want to assume your character would reply after the event, feel free to forward date a response!]

Look, she's a kid who's worried about returning to whatever life she may or may not have back there. [He points off in a miscellaneous direction, as if to indicate her world.] I'm not asking you to keep her forever or to keep her safe. All I'm asking is that you talk to her in the meantime.
[A beat and he straightens defensively.] I don't know how all that bullshit.. magic works. For all I know, I'll be gone tomorrow and it won't fuckin' matter anyway.

[He just. Kids? That's not a thing he gets tasked with watching over much. Soldiers he can handle, but kids are like herding swizards. It doesn't work.]
You want me to play guardian.
[He's having a tough time getting this, okay?]
private; 100% encryption; video
No. All I want is for you to talk to her and maybe answer some of her questions. I'm not askin' you to keep her alive or see that she makes it to the next audience. Just make sure she stays here, in this universe or dimension or what-the-fuck-ever, until you talk. I'll take care of the rest.

Fine. I will talk with her.

Thank you.

[ This isn't actually the first Bakura has heard of this but there had been an initial post about it back in August and then a brief mention about a building in September before it had disappeared from the network. And while he's less than interested in making use of the services, he is interested in this "Dust" they've mentioned. ]

Initially for drug "Dust". Now drugs in general.

Don't project, I'm talking about the kedan.

Takes a real fucking genius to anonymously insult the kedan on the network.

Thought you might have good reason to be anonymous, real information. Gang affiliations, drug connections.
cw: mention of self injury
There's a note pinned to the man's collar bearing a strong, fairly heavy press of script: Now that I have your attention, you are the one coming up empty.
However if asked about how he was captured, the man's eyes will glaze over and he'll say he can't remember. If Costigan has a telepath verify that, he'll find traces that the memories were in essence ripped right out of the man's mind, and none too gently at that. ]

You can't blame all of them for a few assholes.
Why the show?
Re: text
The "show" was so that you won't think I'm full of shit when I tell you that, should you ever imply I'm useless again, I'll skewer my next proof in twelve pieces to your door.
text
Don't think you're useless.
Think you're not willing to share what information you have when won't even share your identity. Think you're too eager to blame kedan.
Think your impressive skills could be put to better use.
Re: text
The kedan delude themselves to one side or the other: the emperor or the enemy, it doesn't matter to them. If anything, they're almost startling in how unseated their loyalty is -- though not as interesting in how protective you seem of them. First you accuse me of insulting them, then blaming them. You're not sleeping with one of them, are you?
As for my anonymity, I prefer results to empty labels. If you don't share that opinion, I am happy to find someone with more influence to speak to.
text
No different than people. Doesn't mean there aren't good ones among them. (Not sleeping with them.)
Labels aren't empty. You prefer anonymity, then go ahead. Good luck.
Re: text
[ Trussing up the cult kedan wasn't exactly a hassle for Bakura so he doesn't feel as though his time's been wasted in making his point, even if Costigan didn't bite. He'll click off the feed, though the anon ID remains in console memory in case Costigan ever wants to send another message through. ]
[audio]
I would volunteer my services to you, Monsieur, that you will have me.
[audio]
Sure, yeah. I'd appreciate the help. What's your name?
no subject
And yours, if we are to be colleagues?
no subject
Name's Billy Costigan. Although I should warn you that there might be other people interested in running the place who are otherwise preoccupied right now. I'll let you know when I hear.
no subject
It is a pleasure to meet you, Monsieur Costigan. And it is no trouble at all, as the volunteer must take on whichever role is provided, even if that is none at all; regardless, I will be happy to provide whichever service you would have of me.
no subject
Where and when are you from, Faliciun?
no subject
Paris, France; 1832. And yourself?
no subject
Confidentiality going to be a problem for you?
[ooc: Please check out his newer entry and the ooc rehab post when you have time! I'd love to have Bossuet involved!]

I helped get the place off the ground, so whatever you need, let me know. Just as long as it stays open, we really can't afford it to close down.
[audio] thanks for tagging this! c:
[audio] I'm sorry I missed it when it went up! <3
[audio] no worries at all!!
Sure, yeah. I'll pay and keep an eye on things. You know anyone who could manage the place? I'd want to vet them and make it official, but, to be honest with ya, I don't know who all's involved with the place.

I think they left some basic files, but I could use someone who's actually been there. You think you might be interested?
[audio]
[encrypted 97%]
I would be interested, sure. There are some files, we've been pretty good at keeping up with the filing and all the notes from everyone who's worked here.
