It's time we saw a miracle
WHO: Count Dooku catch-all (with prompts for specific characters, plus an open space)
WHERE: About and around the Porter cities
WHEN: Throughout February
WHAT: Stuff. Things.
WARNINGS: Almost certain talk of violence and villainy
A: Mr. Gold, Broom Shop, Heropa
[The Count hasn't been inside the Shop before. He casts an appraising eye over the establishment as he enters, making a little 'hm' sound to himself. It's neat and quaint and homely, very much what Dooku would have expected from Mr. Gold.
The sharp-eyed will be able to see that Dooku has some stiffness in his right arm as he steps further inside, favouring it as though he has recently been injured. But Dooku's voice is strong as he greets the proprietor.]
Good day, Mister Gold. I must say, you have a lovely shop.
B: Mark Vorkosigan, Peter Kane Enterprises, Maurtia Falls
[Dooku is already a PKE investor, which is his pretext for visiting Mark's business today. He's taken the step of wearing a formal dark business suit instead of his standard black space clothes and cape, the better to project a businesslike image. But he has more than money on his mind today, in truth.]
Good morning, Mark. It is a pleasure to see you again.
C: Darlene, Maurtia Falls Crime Museum, backdated to before the blackout
[Darlene has been an unexpectedly productive asset since Pinkman connected her to Dooku in October. Not only has she been discreet about the topics Dooku talked to her about, but the Count hasn't heard any horror stories from Baelish about how her 'computer work' for him has gone. And her hatred for the establishment burns as brightly as her talent in information warfare.
Dooku judges that the time has come to bring her into The Cause, aka the Constellation. Rather than re-use the tea shop he met her at last time, he elects to invite her to an 'educational afternoon' at one of his other preferred meeting places: the Maurtia Falls Crime Museum, a testament to that city's long history of villainy and vigilantism. He meets her in one of the quieter, darker exhibits, devoted to instances of scandal and corruption in local government.]
Hello again, Darlene.
D: Anastasya Griffin, Brew World Order Tea Shop, Maurtia Falls
[Others may have forgotten Tesladyne since its robotic founder was Ported out, but not Count Dooku. His finger remains on the pulse of imPort business and activism, and he remembers this company's work. More importantly, he remembers that Hierophant Griffin has now twice been defeated in politics, which may mean that she is reaching a most useful level of frustration.
With that in mind, Dooku has reached out to Ana for some long-overdue tea. When she arrives, she'll find the Count already seated at a booth near the back, a steaming pot of black tea in front of him.]
E: Leonard Snart, Count Dooku's home, Maurtia Falls
[Dooku is asleep when Len pays him a visit- wearing black, silk, monogrammed pyjamas, naturally. His home has an alarm system, of course, but more importantly it has Dooku himself. The Dark Side is strong in him, and when an unwelcome presence enters his sanctuary his mind senses it swiftly. The Count is awake and moving immediately, his lightsaber in his hand but not yet ignited as he stalks out of his bedroom to confront the intruder. He is not happy.]
Who dares?

[Dooku makes a sympathetic 'hm' sound.]
These 'heroes' are powerful, but they can be terribly self-righteous at times, can't they? I suppose this... 'bat-man' felt you were being too rough with your attackers.
no subject
And they certainly deserved it.
no subject
[Though he won't readily disclose that the scum actually managed to wound him.]
Tell me, what do you think was the source of this latest attack?
no subject
[Ana took a sip of her tea as she thought that question over.]
I assume some kind of...electronic warfare? [Her smile was a tad self-deprecating.] Honestly I still...only marginally understand how a lot of the really interconnected systems work here. I know they do, but...
[She trailed off and shrugged.]
no subject
[He half-smiles a moment, then shifts to the other thing she said.]
Your security must be formidable to have deterred them. They were exceptionally dangerous criminals, from what I I understand.
no subject
And yes, I would. Honestly, I would know how to deal with magic, I've been dealing with magical attacks as long as I can remember. If you summon a golem, I can stop it. If you put a 'virus' on my phone, well...
I suppose I'll just be sad. [A little laugh.]
no subject
[Mainly because it's crushingly primitive, but whatever.]
I have gained allies who are skilled in such matters, though. Perhaps I could put you in contact with them, if you ever have need of their talents.
no subject
[Trust Dooku to be collecting allies.]
There are people in my company that I usually just let handle problems like that. But they're just employees.
[It's strange being the only import there anymore.]
no subject
[Especially if it means he can call upon a favour later.]
If you ever encounter a computer attack your employees cannot handle, let me know. I will put you into contact with someone who can assist you.
[Probably Daisy. The other hackers Dooku knows are less... sociable than she is.]
