Family Concerns -- and snacks
Iota had long ago learned to bake sonhos because Mae loved them, but since Mae wasn't here, she needed help eating them. So she cheerily brought them to her cousin. Well, mostly cheerily. "Carolyn! Would you like some sonhos? And have you seen Tomas?"

	Iota quickly went from a slight frown at Carolyn's estimate to scrambling uncanily fast towards the door. "Tomas! We need to talk to you! And I made sonhas! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Either he overheard, or he just reads his sister that well. "And the devil appears. Because he really loves sonhas. So, what's up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What's the plan for Gotham now?" Iota asked, handing him the plate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, what is the plan for Gotham outside of sleeping with debutantes and playing with Bats?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

A brow raises, then a hint of a smile.

"The debutante's information has been useful in giving me some leads to follow. It quickly became obvious that the Bats would get in the way whatever happened eventually... but a lot of the end of our trail is here. Someone in Gotham is the other end of the drug trail from the south.

The bats, predictably, want the clowns. So we're going to make some Jokerz hurt until they give us something useful on who is giving them their marching orders. Then we're going to let the Bats and the Clowns eat each other while we get our job done."

	"...How is our getting information from the Jokerz going to help the Bats? Will she listen?" Iota says, having listened intently but having difficulty puzzling it out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Who said anything about helping the Bats? They can handle themselves. But we lead them towards the clowns, then they aren't in our way. She'll listen though, if the information turns up anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We shouldn't be dealing with the Bats at all," Carolyn pointed out. Carolyn could read his body language and knew there was something more. "What deal did you make her?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"We're in Gotham, its not like there's a choice. She keeps showing up and sticking her nose into everything - if we give both the bats, and the clowns a distraction, they'll limit the trouble for us from either one. Meanwhile, she's giving me intelligence on the other major figures in the local underworld. I'm under no obligation to tell her what or who I'm following up on."

	"So it's just... we find out more about the clowns, and you tell her about the clowns, and then she and her stupid brother will be too busy to botch things?" Iota wants to make sure she's following the conversation (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-07-16 02:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Precisely. We're investigating anyway, and we can use interrogation tactics they won't. We can feed them the stuff we don't care about - and then the clowns are out of our way too. Because I don't like unpredictable idiots interfering." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I still don't like it," Carolyn said. "It's no guarantee that the Bats will keep out of our business." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hungerstrike 2013-07-16 05:31 pm UTC (link)
	Iota nods. "No guarantee...but I don't mind stabbing a few clowns in the feet to help with a chance." She smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't like having Bats magically show up every time I try and accomplish something - you're right. Its no guarantee, but its a chance. Which seems to be better than what we've got now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2013-07-16 10:35 pm UTC (link)
	Carolyn just shrugged. (Reply to this)(Parent)
