"Alright, let's pick out some gear. We want some winter wear, some currency, and weapons of some sort. How stealthy do we want to be?"

"How stealthy can we be?" Kaylee counters. She doesn't really see how the two of them could sneak through the streets of Ozymandias without going unnoticed.

"Well, do we want to go around with rifles and crossbows out in the open or hide smaller weapons to look less suspicious?"

Kaylee makes a face. "I think the answer to that's pretty obvious."

Barry grins back, "Okay, lets skip the basics then. Is there anything else you think we should bring?"

"Sounds like a plan. We should dress similar to the people in the district were heading to to blend in."

"Yes since Devon's signature is in 3. Rosalee is in 2 but we should be fairly safe there. Let's bring some rations with us too when we head out. We don't know how long it will take us."

"Let's do it," Barry pops out of his chair and walks over to the supply room, grabbing some seeds, a couple pistols, a knife, spare ammo, rations, and a 'Boost'. He places the weapons and seeds on his person and everything else in a pack.

Kaylee does the same as Barry, grabbing a ration, some seeds, her weapons (which include her ice axe, her bowie knife, and a pistol with extra bullets). She stores all the accessories in a backpack and hides her weapons beneath her winter gear.

For attire, Barry picks grabs his mask and looks for proper district 3 attire. He searches for beat up garments and furs, which Barry recalls seeing people wear during the trip to the greenhouse. Clothing is quick to find. Barry happens to come upon the right clothes and finds a full set for Kaylee aswell. Before heading out, he hands off some clothes to Kaylee and gets dressed in his own set of District 3 fashion.

In reply to Kaylee (msg # 49):

The two Reckoners set off towards the city, bid farewell by an ever-cheerful SUE. The air was biting, as always, and fog hung like a shroud over the entirety of the nestled city, held there by forces of nature other than the Epics.

A sort of nervous tension ran through the people of the districts; you could feel it as you moved into District 3. Children didn't play in the streets, instead replaced by ravens and a few vagrants looking to take advantage of any more chaos. Your choice of attire gives you the air of two Wilders on their way to the Tradepost.

You hear a myriad of hushed rumors- that Reverie has an army of Epics at her command, that Blight's anger at Discord is unrivaled and he has killed any civilians too slow to leave his path, that an Epic struck the Greenhouse and there are openings for employment, that Cataclysm is too powerful to allow such an uprising, and contrarily, that Cataclysm deserves to be overthrown.

The earth rumbles slightly under your feet, as though the ruler of Ozymandias is irritated with their comments.

You have almost reached the location of the signature. It is within a house on the edge of Districts 2 and 3, where Blight's influence is thinnest. Here the people are rarely afflicted with the blightmarks and houses are more sturdily built- some even have electricity, even if they're not much more than cabins. This one appears occupied.

The dot blinks.

What do you do?

Barry whispers over to Kaylee, "It's a house? I'm guessing if it's a trap, she got caught knocking on the front door. "

Barry takes a look at the cabin checking for a window, "there's a small one on the right side, want to take a peek while I watch your back?"

In reply to Barry (msg # 54):

"Yeah," Kaylee says. She grips her knife inside her right pocket, ready to whip it out if necessary. She could draw it almost as fast as she could blink.

The slender girl approaches the window as stealthily as possible and peers inside.

In reply to Kaylee (msg # 55):

Through the small window, you can see two figures. One is a child, likely not much more than seven years old, and the other a teenager impressively blightmarked with horn-like protrusions along their hairline. The child and teen appear to be sorting through a myriad of items on the rough wood floor.

The cabin appears to be one room and scantly furnished. Candles are the dominant light source.

Barry thinks to himself trying to make sense of things "Why would Devon's signature come from the house? SUE said it was an earpiece right? Let's back away from the house while we think of what to do next."

In reply to Barry (msg # 61):

Yes, I can. SUE replies smugly.

 After a moment, Barry and Kaylee hear snippets of conversation coming through.

 "What about...that's not worth...you told me to take it! 'Tech always sells...' I know..."

A voice startlingly similar to the childish SUE filters through through from Devon's earpiece, half of a conversation.
