Botching it in Bromley (Territory Claim)

[bellbound]

They've done their research. They know where the fae in Bromley are hiding out, their movements, their numbers. As far as intelligence gathering goes, it's not a bad effort. They have a plan too. This at least is an improvement over some past witches that Mogget could mention, though in his opinion the plan is rather crude. Samantha could get a lot more resistance than she bargained for.

Which, it turns out, is exactly the case. Of course, Mogget is the one on the ground with the other witches, trying to control a situation that swiftly spirals out of control. Samantha is nowhere to be seen; she gets others to do her dirty work.

He's not looking forward to telling her what went wrong.

To be strictly fair, Eames is hardly above sending others in his stead — his regard for other people's lives is staggeringly low — but he's allowed to be hypocritical when it involves someone coming into his territory to enslave his people.

"So much for friendship and unity, eh?" Isn't that what she blathered on about for the witches? "Be a real friend and go die for me," he adds, a mix of amusement and contempt in his voice.

Evie rolls her eyes.

"No, a real leader would be willing to die along side their army." This is bad. Incredibly bad. She had to speak with Jean-Claude about this, that was for sure. The vampires could not go against the fae on this, that would be suicide.

"Slavery is not something I can ever support." A mutual agreement was one thing. But slavery was always something she'd been staunchly against.

Amazing how the only others who were willing to call it what is is are vampires. Everyone else dances around the topic as though bending a thinking, feeling person to your will isn't slavery just because they aren't human.

"I should hope not," Eames says, half-joking half-serious, "you know more about cruelty and power than most, I imagine."

Being a capital-a Assassin and all that.

Evie inclined her head. "You're not wrong there, Eames," she says, and it's surprisingly warm.

"No, I'll keep an eye on this." Stay back, collect evidence. She was already coming up with a plan (oh joy, she could make another board! Those were her favorites. Time to stock up on red string).

"But I'll have you know now, I'm on your side, and I doubt Jean-Claude will feel differently. Those of us that are older have seen how devastating slavery is. You'd be a fool to support it."
