"Hey Drizzt."

Permalink

Is Leo armed? "Hello."

Permalink

Leo and Zam are both holding netherite swords, but they don't particularly look like they're actively threatening to use them; it's just kind of the default thing to be holding.

"I have some questions. Ideally I'd have everyone here, I'd really like to ask Mapicc, but I'll ask you for now. Something has happened to the APO, do you know anything about that?"

Permalink

He frowns, and hopes it looks like confusion. Thank you Mapicc for making him lie for you! "No?"

Permalink

Drizzt isn't wearing any APO armor, which fits the story. And Drizzt wasn't one of his top suspicions anyway; Leo's honestly not that worried.

He points at the entrance to the APO proper, a little hole-in-the-wall with red signs saying 'Authorized Personnel ONLY'. "Have you seen anyone other than me enter or leave that area?"

Permalink

"No," and that's actually truthful.

Permalink

"Let's go inside."

Inside are a couple of signs, reading:
im not sure why people dont want you to have this stuff but its none of my concern, im just the guy whos paid to show up, bye leo.

"Do you know anything about these signs?"

MAPICC.

"This is the first time I've seen these signs."

"Alright." He could push more, but there's a risk to it--asking about your stolen gear means admitting that you don't have backup gear means admitting that you're an easy target. If Drizzt were suspicious, he'd push, but Leo really doubts it was Drizzt. "Thank you. That's all. Thank you for your time, Drizzt. I'll be, uh, asking a bunch of other people basically the same questions, you can stay if you want but you don't have to, if you see me asking for people in chat to come to spawn it's probably just more of the same and you can ignore it."

"I understand." 

... he's going to stick around for Mapicc and Zam. He goes back to replanting the forest-- that way it doesn't look like he's hanging around for no good reason.

For the next fifteen minutes or so, Leo goes back to talking to the still-visibly-nervous Zam; on about the fifteen minute mark, Zam leaves spawn to take a call, but he comes back five minutes later. During this twenty-minute time, there's occasionally a chat message--Mapicc insulting Leo, Leo asking people questions or telling them to come to spawn--but nothing particularly interesting. The most interesting thing is that (while talking with Leo) Zam asks people to come to spawn and Mapicc declines. Half an hour after Zam coming back, Leo asks people to come to spawn again, and this time Mapicc shows up through a portal. He, Zam, Woogie, and Leo talk for a while in the spawn dome, including going into and out of the APO. After ten minutes of talking, there's an exchange of some sort; Zam places down a shulker box and Mapicc gives him a shovel which he gives to Woogie. After another five minutes, Mapicc leaves the conversation and starts heading away from spawn, although Zam doesn't; if Drizzt wants to talk to Mapicc, now might be a good time. Otherwise he can stay here and keep an eye on everything for a while longer.

Mapicc is who he is worried about.

When he's sure Leo isn't looking, he goes and follows Mapicc.

Permalink

Mapicc seems to be in a good mood, or at least not a bad one?

"Hey."

Permalink

"I assume that went well?"

Permalink

"Yeah, it went--really well, actually? I ended up admitting to everything but blaming it on Spoke for paying me--I guess that's not a secret anymore--and he was just... fine with that and willing to blame Spoke for it and let me go. I did lie a lot, which probably helped, but also kinda makes it wilder that I just totally got away with everything."

Permalink

... "Well, I'm glad they didn't kill you."

Permalink

"Thank you, thank you. I would've won, though. Honestly, I might pick a fight later, now that I know the situation--uh, Leo's not ready for a fight, Woogie's saving his stuff for his big duel today so he's not going to help if anything breaks out, Zam I could beat in a 1v1 but he should be on my side and not fighting me. No way they kill me like that unless Leo gears up first."

Permalink

"I'm assuming Spoke is not paying you for that."

Permalink

"Nah, I just like fighting. And I don't like the APO."

Permalink

"We agree on those, at least."
