I13DT - By The Rivers Dark

Located on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. The low-income borough of Lambeth has been largely taken over by London's mutant population and is now known as Mutant Town.

I13DT - By The Rivers Dark

It had been a couple days since she'd regained her freedom and Melpomene is getting restless. She didn't care to rouse too much suspicion to give Sam a lead and had send Drew into town as the yacht's owner a couple times so he wouldn't be missed. Still, sooner or later she'd probably get desperate enough to go through every port between here and Muir with a fine-toothed comb. She had to keep her guessing. An idea started to take shape...

"Drew?" she called out.

Drew closed his book and walked across the boat to where Mel was.

"Yes?" he asks.

"I think it's time I had a little chat with Sammy about how badly she's treated you, wouldn't you say?"

"I'm glad you agree, though she's not on the best terms with me. I was wondering if you would be up to the task of meeting her. Just a nice little chat somewhere public."

"All you have to do is ask," Drew says. "It will be nice to talk with someone you respect so much."

Drew hated Sam. It was pretty obvious.

"Maybe respect isn't quite the right word. She's... special. Not unlike you." she says, clearly curious as to how Drew is handling this.

Barely restrained jealousy was pretty much how he was handling it.

"Except I'm here," Drew says. "She isn't."

"I know, dear. Don't think that I don't." she smiles. "Think of it as... showing her that she doesn't deserve this yet."

"That's what makes this interesting, no? Let's see how polite she'll stay once she gets our invitation."

"First we need to find someone to carry a message for us. I'm not sending you anywhere near her little domain and phone calls are just so impersonal..."
