[b]Pope:[/b]

He makes a gesture with empty hands like hitting the ‘stop’ button on a tape recorder and an upward flick of his hand like muscle memory of flipping a notebook shut. “Right. I beg you forgiveness for this interrogation, as it turned out to be. That was never my intention. Just, the problem with a job interview for a partnership is that I’m not going to be able to pull rank on you, fire you, discipline you. But there’s a time window here, and - To hell with it, I’ve been put in the position of getting one date, and then working out if I’m proposing marriage at the end of it.” He pulls a chequebook and pen from his pocket and starts writing. And I don’t think I can. You’re not someone I can trust like that, and I think we’re best off parting ways here. I’m sorry for wasting your time. I’ll write you a cheque for your train ticket home. I know this was a long journey for you, and money’s tight.” 

He rips off the cheque. The numeric amount in the dollar column is too long, it’s a longitude-latitude co-ordinate for a place nearby, specific to within a meter. He shakes his head at you, looking disappointed, and leaves without another word. 

Black would approve. 

If you follow it, it’ll lead to a large suitcase full of paper documents. The cheque won’t have the passcode for it, but you’d be able to message Pope later for it, or pick the lock with some tools if you’re impatient. Your decision on where he hid it, and if and how you find it.

[b]LatheOfHeathen:[/b] if the cloud got destroyed because of infrastructure decay thats a sign and if it got destroyed by terrorism thats a sign both leading to the same
[b]LatheOfHeathen:[/b] a lot of reform got made in the last ten years and were right about to hit the reactionary pendulum swing back to it - havent wanted to bum people out by talking about this but forward progress doesnt mean things keep getting better

[b]LatheOfHeathen:[/b] i don’t know how to get people ready for that but i dont think its viable to protect them from it any longer
[b]LatheOfHeathen:[/b] i think we just have to make peace that the shot were loading to fire right now is going to be the last and were going to have to live with some fucking idiot dipshit chud morons getting theirs off first and that means having to hold our own together through bodies already dropping before we even start 
[b]LatheOfHeathen: [/b]murine corps making me think we have a chance here. Its like our own guerrero mexico where the teachers there practiced commandeering vehicles and causing enough crimes to practice fighting police just so when the next revolution came, they had veterans made in peace time
[b]LatheOfHeathen: [/b]we just got to avoid getting [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iguala_mass_kidnapping][color=#1155cc][u]igualad [/u][/color][/url]for it

[b]LatheOfHeathen: [/b]because all those fucking other useless cunts can only report on disasters after theyve already happened because thats what passes for fucking professionalism because everything else is speculation and fucking sensationalism and nothing is real until its already happened and the consequences arent real someone with a fucking lanyard has put it on a spreadsheet
[b]LatheOfHeathen:[/b] if you could figure out how to get someone an interview with castile louis for me though id build all of you dicks just to suck them because hes the funniest fucking man on the planet and everyone deserve to know it
[b]LatheOfHeathen:[/b] dont tell him that though hes not in on the joke and i dont want to ruin it

It’s hard to tell if York is wasted or sober - stone sober, dry sober, wrung out sober. Half his neurochemistry is external to him and reapplied by thermos cans and heated wire coils and eyedropper fluid. All it takes to radically impair his brain chemistry is ‘nothing’, now.

Hopefully this was helpful to you :)
