Enough is enough. Who knows how long it's been in that place without a proper meeting. I propose we convene back at the base in Invidia. That'll keep the migraines and getting lost to a minimum, plus whoever the Authority is won't cotton on, I should hope.

[Invidia - Authority's Mansion]

[Wolfsbane is entirely fed up. After a few days in Avaritia (it's longer, but who knows in that place), she sends out the notification and sets up shop in the mansion back in Invidia; not too far a commute for anyone no matter where they are, and plenty of room besides. When the others arrive, she's sitting at the table, eating a plate of steak and lima bean salad. No, she didn't make any for you. Okay, those with good senses can probably smell that there's more in the kitchen, but given where they are, it seemed tacky to offer to share.]

I'm sure we've all at least come up with something by now investigating that tacky tourist trap. Share, will you?

(This is an open mingle log for everyone to share the fruits of their investigations! Have fun... or at least vent your frustrations at Avaritia's economy.)

No that doesn't make sense. Unless maybe they're all family?

[Lion's apparently seen them so he looks over to him.]

D'you think?

[crypddyd]

Hmm... unless they all regained memories I doubt they would know. But the older man and the child seem to at least see each other as such. While the women would interact with them and each other the tone was more.... I would say more like associates meeting by chance, not a group arriving together. They do seem to know each other at least.

They could well have formed a crime family, even if they weren't one in life. Don't those largely form by alliances anyway?

[mementomoritz]

...kind of like us? [Are we in a mob now? Is she a mob doctor?]

[heir_to_ruin]

We're not a fucking crime family.

[Okay it's a little snappish but the look he shoots Wolfsbane makes it clear it's not directed at Medic.]

Whether they're blood relatives or just consider one another family it doesn't matter. They have access to things the rest of us don't and are apparently super secretive. My source tried to warn me off asking questions a few times before he really put his foot down. Like talking to me at all could get him fired.

If they're not the Authority they have a hell of a lot of clout.

[emberserker]

Look, I didn't suggest we were. I was clearly talking about them, and from what you've said, "crime family" would fit that lot well enough. And given that we already know that multiple people can share an Authority role, that works perfectly... though these things do tend to have a leader, a head.

[mementomoritz]

...which I guess would put us right back to figuring out which one of them is really in charge. Except that we should also be careful of the others in case they're helping them out.
