To Those in the Know

Apparently I'm working this depression thing awfully hard. But see, today I got out of bed. Even if I did only go down to my office in my pajamas. Go team Joe

Hmm... yes. You could very well be onto something there, Joe. Thank you. We'll definitely get onto that.

You know, now that you mention it, we do have at least one angelic, illusionist adversary we've not accounted for. Merope. And I wouldn't put it past her to work with Amaris.

[hail_st_joseph]

Is there a way to find this Merope?

[in_deliria]

I can find her.

She'll come to me.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Mara. I do agree, but I think we can come up with a way that presents the least risk to you. You're my sister. We should get another angel to confirm this, but I think I could mimic your signature well enough for this. Then we could draw her into a situation of our choosing, and see what's what.

It's a very brave suggestion though, Mara. Thank you. You've given us a very good place to start.

[in_deliria]

She knows me. She won't be tricked. I can do it!

[in_spectre_mors]

It's a very dangerous plan. Let's see if Peter and David come up with anything first, and in the meantime, I'll see if we can't find Merope under our own steam. If we still come up with nothing, we'll think about what we can do with this.

I really do admire your bravery, Mara. You're wonderful. I just don't want to risk you, too.

[in_deliria]

but i know How she works!

[in_spectre_mors]

I know. And that's exactly why I'm going to keep this in mind. I want to try the lower risk options first. But I am considering this an option.

[in_deliria]

Okay.

[hail_st_joseph]

Ah, I'm sorry I asked...

[in_spectre_mors]

No, it's all right, Joe. Mara's a brave girl, and it's natural that she wants to help. We'll work things out.
