Interesting. No, we certainly would not want to see him get ahead in any way. How careful is he likely to be as far as protecting himself goes?

[flowerette]

He is weak as an individual, but perceptive and cautious. And he does have powerful friends...if our assumption is correct. I think perhaps the first step would be to try and find out who his closest allies are and if they are at all able to be manipulated.

[exceptionalthief]

It wouldn't hurt to come up with a list of his enemies either. Hypocrites tend to attract them.

[flowerette]

As smart as you are charming. Yes, that would be a good idea. I imagine such like-minded individuals will make excellent allies.

And it would be good to have a candidate of our own to support as well. I don't suppose you're interested in holding an ambassadorial seat, are you?

[exceptionalthief]

Simply common sense.

[Not that he minds the flattery at all.]

Of course if you've known him for a while, you might have a good idea of who those people are already.

Not especially, no.

[He'd rather be in a position to pull a puppet's strings.]

[flowerette]

I've only started paying attention to him since the Constellation disbanded. So unfortunately, it hasn't been terribly long. But I imagine it won't be difficult to do a bit of digging.

[ She purses her lips. ]

I suppose I could run again. I haven't had much luck. But what is it they say? Third time's a charm.

[exceptionalthief]

I'd certainly vote for you.

[but then, he voted for Starr too.]

[flowerette]

And you would greatly benefit if I won. Surely there is something you would like to do with the funding provided by an ambassador...

[exceptionalthief]

I should hope so. I'm sure I can think of something.

[flowerette]

Is there anything in particular you want in this world? Our interests already seem to be in alignment. I think we could certainly help one another achieve them, even if the ambassador thing doesn't work out.

[exceptionalthief]

I'm always up for any additional income opportunities.

[Not necessarily legitimate ones goes without saying.]

[flowerette]

What is your area of expertise?

[exceptionalthief]

The porter has gifted me with enhanced memory and organization skills. I also have a background in urban warfare and a good amount of experience with explosives.

Plus a Classics degree.

[flowerette]

Hm. So if I were to work on some classified scientific experiments and needed to store the data somewhere no one else could find it, would your mind serve as a suitable archive?

[exceptionalthief]

I'd have to physically read it all, but yes, conceivably.

[flowerette]

If you'd be interested, I'd love to pay you as a contractor. I've been wanting to move forward toward more daring experiments.

[exceptionalthief]

Bear in mind I'd need to reproduce it as well, and if it means typing something out, I'd charge you by the page.

[flowerette]

Money isn't really an obstacle. You charge whatever you see fit. So long as your services are worthwhile, I'll pay the price.
