I'm south from where you are.
Over by the police and fire station.

[srsbat]

Are you with anyone else?
Is it safe? Relatively.

[swatsflies]

I'm with three others.
It's safe. I trust them. :)
Oh! If you decide to head down here then you might want to wait on that.

[srsbat]

Why?

[swatsflies]

Those guys the guide warns about.
All three of them are down here.
Well
Stein died.
Him and Beckett aren't really that bad.
They have someone to keep them in line.
But the other one is down here.
You should probably find a someone to travel with to keep each other safe.

[srsbat]

The Joker.
I'm not afraid of him.
Is he incapacitated? Do you know his exact location?

[swatsflies]

He's pretty crafty.
He managed to ambush Watson and hurt Al before :(
Not incapacitated, but I think he's unarmed.

[srsbat]

He is, so stay away from him.
[God dammit, Joker.]
The information was helpful.
[His way of saying thanks, Zell.]
I'm going to meet him.

[swatsflies]

Whoa! You just got here.
Do you know him?

[srsbat]

Yes.

[swatsflies]

Oh.
Do you know Steph?

[srsbat]

Yes. I've spoken with her.

[swatsflies]

Are you a friend?

[srsbat]

Yes. For the moment, I'm unable to confirm it with her.
The tablet won't transfer video or audio in this house.
I'm going to contact her after I leave. You can ask her then.

[swatsflies]

[ Dude, you're totally suspicious. ]

What the hell kind of house is that?
I will confirm it with her.
If I find out you're yanking her chain, I'll kick your ass.

[srsbat]

[GREAT, another "friend" of Stephanie's. God damn.]

One in the ice tunnels. Terminals were here at one time. It could be the building material, or something else.

[swatsflies]

[ Just another teenager trying to protect his friend.

The terminal part is pretty interesting and is enough to sidetrack Zell for the moment. ]

Huh.
The houses here are all lined with some kind of super metal.
None of them have prevented audio or video before.
Maybe a formal resident did something special there to keep the admin from watching.

[ That's actually pretty amazing if it's true! ]

Can you mark it on House's map?
After you leave it. Can't have Chuckles trying to find you.

[ He's also still concerned about this new sketchy dude trying to take on Joker. ]

[spoileralert]

Al is tracking him, @LELRIC. Let him help, and don't get overprotective on him. He has a stake in this, and he's more than capable of handling himself.

[ Congrats, you are now officially being scolded by an 18 year old. ]

private;

[srsbat]

I'm not going to make any promises.
No one else should be involved. They'll get in the way, or get injured.
You know how the Joker works.

private;

[spoileralert]

It's too late for that. He's in this whether you like it or not, and if you don't work with him he'll just work without you. He's my best friend, and if he gets killed doing this I am now officially going to hold you personally responsible.

private

[srsbat]

[DAMMIT, STEPHANIE.]

I'm not going to be responsible for him if he won't stand down when I tell him to stand down.

[Case in point: he's going to absolutely be responsible for him. FUCK.]

private

[spoileralert]

Tough. I watched him die once. If he does again I'm going to need somebody to take it out on.

private

[srsbat]

The Joker isn't a game, and he isn't someone novices should go up against. You know this.

private

[spoileralert]

I'm not asking permission. I'm telling you what's going to happen.

private

[srsbat]

I'm not taking suggestions.
If he has information, fine.
But I'm not letting him go up against the Joker. It's too dangerous, Stephanie.
