not sure what to make of the nicholas cage poster though

[tradingcard]

A principal of a school just squished my face and gave me a fairly impressive high-five. A person I don't recognize did, in fact, get me a pizza when I jokingly responded to them with the request upon being asked "Do you need anything, sir?" My phone's voicemail is full of who knows what. This Captain America figure is the coolest thing I have ever seen. And I think I'm secretly running the police department.

How is your day going, New Moore?

That's a pretty sweet gig you've got there. How can I get in on that?

[tradingcard]

You have to pull some secret things and then forget what you did.

not actually here~

[steelweb]

still not here!

[steelweb]

[....she has not had nearly enough sleep or tea. Not by a long shot.]

Ok, NOW it's [audio]

[steelweb]

Coulson. Think you can handle babysitting?

[audio]

[tradingcard]

Sure... What am I babysitting?

[audio]

[steelweb]

Three five-year olds, a toddler and a seven-year old.

[For the moment.]

[audio]

[tradingcard]

Four kids. Got it. An excellent use of an armed and trained sixteen year old, ma'am.

Sheska's watching them for now, but she needs someone to spell her so she can keep on the phones. They walk all over her. They might actually listen to you.

[audio]

[tradingcard]

I don't think there's a 'might' in there. They'll listen. I'm like a baby whisperer. You'd be amazed.
And then maybe I could do something a little more productive?

[audio]

[steelweb]

I'm counting on it. I need you to try and get some intel out of the kids as to who they are and where they woke up. If they met anyone we should be looking out for - predators. You know the type.

Once we have them back where they belong, we'll see what we can do about getting you something different to do.

[notjohnsmith]

Do you belong to a secret society? Are you prince of the cabal of magical beings who's co-opted the department for their own purposes?

With something like this it's important to be precise about details.

... Do the police know why we were brought here?! or they only dupes for another higher authority?

[audio]

[tradingcard]

Are you phrasing asking their names and if anyone offered them candy as 'intel' so it seems more professional or did you want me to sit them down and perform an interrogation on a three year old?

[tradingcard]

Yes. Maybe.

I can't share details. You probably don't have the clearance level. Only magical royalty in the secret society can know.

[audio]

[steelweb]

I want you to get as much information out of them as you can. I'd call that an interrogation. Your methods are left up to your discretion. I trust you know how to manage it without resorting to inflicting pain.

[audio]

[tradingcard]

Yeah, you just hold them by the ankle over the edge of the roof.
...I'm kidding by the way.

[audio]

[steelweb]

[She mutters something that just might, maybe, have been "If it makes them stop screaming..."]

I don't think any of them will know anything about how they entered this state. No one remembers, generally. But if there's so much as a whiff, I want to be able to follow up on it. So get down to the station quickly, and pick up any supplies you might need on the way. The department will reimburse you for them. Understood?

[audio]

[tradingcard]

Any supplies?

[audio]

[steelweb]

[Teenagers.]

You have a working budget of $100. If you need more than that, call me and we'll talk. Bring an itemized receipt.

[audio]

[tradingcard]

Yes, ma'am. I'll go get ... crayons? I guess. Juice boxes. And a taser.
You know I'm overqualified for this position, right?

[audio]

[steelweb]

Well aware, thank you. [Ok, that was a little sharper than necessary, Lin.] It's where you're needed right now.

[audio]

[tradingcard]

I'm coming. You're really serious, huh?

[chronosexual]

Can I just pull secret things? Can I pull your secret things?

[tradingcard]

I'm not sure you're qualified to handle the equipment.

[audio]

[steelweb]

I'm the Chief of Police. I'm always serious. If you've been reading the Network logs at all, you know this sort of thing happens fairly frequently. We need to get a handle on it and you're one of the best for getting information from people without duress to the subject. You may be a teenager, but I'm banking on the idea that you still have skill in equal measure to your insubordination.
