Territory Nouveau 16: Houndstooth and Casperov
Manage episode 264622254 series 2435732
Suspicion, a cautious distrust. If anyone knows how to foster suspicion, it’s Alistair Hounsdstooth. In this business, cautious distrust is what gets you in the door. Their expectation for you to overperform, overdeliver. Everybody loves an underdog, so why not play a little below the table?
The trick is to make whatever story you’re selling half believable, even if none of it’s true. Create the narrative. Create suspicion. Create an opening.
It all went to plan, the Vehement. A little bloviating, a trumped up story oversold with sympathy. Just a couple of Queen MAB’s subjects looking for an edge, help from a kind soul. Sure he met us at the door with his sidearm on, but why let that stop a little polite conversation? Not like either of us didn’t come prepared for the occasional violent outburst.
We’ve been sitting with the good captain for a day or so now. Trying to soften him up but he’s a stubborn one.
We’ll settle in for a while now, but we will find what we came here for.
*
In today’s episode, hot damn we’re in a tight spot! Scarlett is under the gun after his accidental encounter with the dangerous duo of Houndstooth and Casperov. What are they looking for on Charon and what does it have to do with the crew of the Vehement? Take a nice shuttle ride, drown your sorrows in a river of ale, and maybe even get a little stabbed, this episode!
