Jonas gave her a strange look, but instead of replying, pushed one pawn to the toe of Italy's boot and the other to the northern end of the central corridor. "Two other friends. DDR junkies, mostly, but very loud ones. This one--" he said, tapping at the one on the central corridor. "--is reactionary and easy to influence, if you feed him the right information, and this one--" He tapped the one on Italy. "--is one of those calm-voice-of-reason types. He would be hard to influence, but it sounds like he's already mostly in agreement with our dear Yared."

True Name noticed the lack of names for each of the figures, but said nothing. *It is probably for the best. Leaves me some plausible deniability, and keeps me from interacting with his pawns.*

"Now, how about sys-side?"
|

|

Jonas shrugged. "The council, of course, plus the owners of some higher-profile sims, and a few perisystem architects."
|

|

"Alright. I suppose that on my end I mostly just have the council and all of my various selves."

He kept throwing her all these little comments that seemed to tempt her to respond emotionally. Was he testing her? Was he watching to see just how much power he had over her?

Not the best tactic for someone who taught theater to high-schoolers.

"I think we've got the council mostly locked down when it comes to the idea of independence," she said, setting down her stick.
|

|

"And your clade?"
|
||||
|
||||
"I have plans for them. Nothing that will get me in trouble with the council, I think."
|
||||
|
||||
"Will you tell me some of those plans?"
|
||||
|
||||
She smiled. "Why not, we are working together, after all. They can use our background in theater to work the propaganda angle."
|
||||
|
||||
It was only a portion of the truth, but she also suspected that Jonas knew this. He accepted it easily enough.
|
||||
|
||||
"I'll send Ir to discuss that angle with you, so that we don't step on each other's toes."
