They're being good. I think they know I'll kill them if they step out of line, I'm in such a bad mood.

[Casting a stern glance at the stacks.]

But seriously what the fuck, take me through it from scratch.

[therushingsky]

Okay-- So from scratch:

Either I'm getting hustled, or my first guess as to who did this was right, or probably both.

[magician_king]

You shouldn't confirm or deny this if you're breaking a confidence, but in the interest of triangulating... my deductive reasoning is bringing me to Bill. Iris too, independent of my work, I saw her ask the Admiral about it directly.

[therushingsky]

Yeah, confirming or denying that would be breaking a confidence.

[But he keeps his tone glib and light. Quentin's already figured this out, Rhys doesn't feel too obliged to cram it down.]

I think-- whoever it is? They've been planning this for literally years, and they are in way too deep to pull out of it on their own.

[magician_king]

I'm not super concerned with their moral development as I am containing them when it turns into an inevitable bid for power and chaos trash fire.

[Says Quentin, snorting.]
