[Rikki's maybe kinda been having some trouble sleeping at night lately and tried going on a nighttime jaunts to keep herself occupied. Not officially> patroling - she doesn't have her costume or her usual toys or anything. But going for walks and keeping her eyes open.

Wanna know what you don't want to be in her town late at night? A teenage girl doing literally anything.

So yeah. Logging into the mirror network for this one. ID reads Nomad.]

So Maurtia Falls is basically a cesspool. Are we doing anything about that?

Noticed that too, huh? [Sarcasm is probably not coming through properly in text.] Anything specific happen, or just observation?

Just stuff that makes me want to shower 30+ times.

[sonhobbler]

Have to wonder how they get away with it with a military base right there. Can't be because of the low imPort population.

I assume corruption.

Or not giving a shit. Does that count as corruption?

[quinque]

Like wipe it out?

[girlwithout]

GOD no

I mean like fight crime? Dismantle the groups that're running shit? Superhero stuff.

[quinque]

Hmm that sounds like a lot of work

[girlwithout]

No kidding.

[microbrobotics]

move away?

[girlwithout]

Doesn't actually fix anything.

[microbrobotics]

but at least you won't be in Maurtia Falls.

[girlwithout]

Other people still would.

[She knows she probably shouldn't respond to this as she's not one to help the situation in the city. But she can't help herself.]

I dunno, it has a certain charm to it. Reminds me of home.

[girlwithout]

Sounds like your home kind of sucks.

[heartstings]

Not if you know how to work with it.

What exactly makes it a cesspool? Forgive my ignorance, if you will; I've not yet had an opportunity to explore Maurtia Falls.

[See, she would answer that normally, except that she sees that ID tag, and it's... It's dumb. It's probably a coincidence.

But. She tosses up an encryption and decides to ask anyway.]

Weird question, but. Is your birthday April 9 1919?

[ Peggy's first instinct is to turn the device off. Possibly toss it out the window or destroy it under running water. It's a rather dramatic reaction, she realizes, but one doesn't survive long in her line of work — or former line of work, now, though she doubts she'll ever truly stop being an agent — without being careful.

So why doesn't she end the conversation? The answer is as simple as curiosity. She needs to know. That sense of curiosity runs dead opposite the inclination for being careful, but it's impossible to ignore. ]

Weird question indeed. Who's asking, really? I'm not familiar with any Nomad.

[On the other end of the conversation, Rikki's maybe freaking out a little tiny bit. It kinda goes against the instinct to give out her name when she went to the trouble of using her codename, but...

Yeah.]

My name is Rebecca Barnes.

Are you thinking about it?

[girlwithout]

Doing something? Maybe.

The corruption deep far I suspect, if police are apathetic to certain things.

Video - Current dated but posted to past entry, if that's cool

[exsithstential]

Indeed I am. In fact that's my major concern right now. As Ambassador of Maurtia Falls I intend to do everything I can.

I have to ask though, have you experienced it's condition first hand?

text still;

[girlwithout]

I've... been during the attempt of some illegal activities.

[Encrypted line]

[exsithstential]

...As in... you were attempting illegal activity?
