I feel like I've opened up pandora's box.

well you can't stuff it all back in there now.

[ Cat's out of the bag, as it were. ]

i guess i should ask if you have any questions?

[maisel]

Is it going to be dangerous? What kind of information are you getting? What's the dress code? Is there a stage? Is there slot machines in the future? Do you still get tokens? How do you play poker?

Is whatever you're doing legal?

[ She remembers prison, buddy. ]

- probably not
- looking into connections with a mercenary organization that kidnapped some displaced a couple months ago
- fancy
- probably
- yes
- yes but i think they're digital? as in not physical.
- digitally, which i really think takes the fun out of it
- i'm not breaking and entering if that's what you're asking. we'd call this reconnaissance.

-you'd better be careful
-what?
-good
-I'm getting on to that stage
-good
-That's going to trip me up
-That's REALLY going to trip me up
-that still sounds shady

we led an expedition to nepal a little while ago. turns out there was a mercenary handler that was trying to disguise himself as a sherpa. they were hired by someone way up the food chain and i want to know who.

it's shady but it's legal, midge. i'll be careful, and you won't be anywhere nearby if something bad happens.

I'm not worried about myself, but I am going. Just so someone can keep an eye on you.

You're going to have to explain everything going on here to me one day. I only get, like, half of it. It's infuriating.

i feel much better knowing you'll clock someone with a handbag for me if things get dicey.

i'll give you the run-down after the casino, if you want? it's a lot. sometimes even i don't know what the hell is going on.

[maisel]

Deal, as long as you're careful. You've spent too much time in prison, you're too pretty to go back.
