For anyone who wants to talk about the most recent event and compare notes, we're meeting in the tea rooms on the second floor tomorrow at three pm.

There will be snacks. If you want anything more significant than what the tea rooms provide, then bring your own. [ I.e., if Mick wants alcohol, he needs to bring his own. ]

We'll be talking about what happened, why it might have happened, what went wrong, and how we can prevent similar mistakes in future events.

Hope to see you there.

If kids want to drink, they're gonna drink and the American drinking age is just dumb. You can fuck, get pregnant and run a whole household before you can legally drink.

[Mick started drinking at fifteen and clearly it's worked out great for him. Right?]

Are you just trying to stop me from going to the meeting by having us talk later? [He... He sees her point though so he's not going to gatecrash if she wants to prevent this castle argument.]

You wanna talk temperature in private?

Given that I was a government agent back home [ to a point ], I don't want to give the impression to the kids that drinking alcohol is okay. What they do on their own is their business - I know I can't be everywhere. But I'm not going to provide alcohol for them.

[ She crosses her arms and leans against her desk in her office, clearly deliberating her answer. And yes, she's set up a small stand for her comm so she can get work done while she chats. ]

Actually, I suspect very few people will go to the meeting. The only way the event posed any real threat was in the snowstorm. So I'd be happy to have you there. But if you're going to harp on sandcastles for the bulk of the meeting, then I'd rather meet you privately after the meeting, and you can rant to your heart's content. And if we do come up with ideas to help you in the next event like this, the better.

[ She frowns at the last statement. That's flirtation, isn't it? Yes. That's... flirtation. Or at least, it could be considered flirtation.

She points at the feed. ]

Watch it. Now that I know you don't like the cold, I have a weapon.

So you wanna be a nark? Gotcha.

[Anyone who works for the government/is a cop comes under two fields for Mick - corrupt or a nark. It's a very, very small way to look at the world.]

Ah. See. I just wanted to prove sandcastles are better. Snart has been a smug asshole since we had that whole blizzard bullshit, I just wanna teach him a lesson. I guess I can do that in private. [He can keep building sandcastles outside his door - no biggie.] You wanna hear me rant about sandcastle though?

Sounds like you don't get bored easy then.

[Mick huffs a laugh and smirks at her. No, he's not at all scared. Also kind of a pig.] Temperature play? I like it.

I'm not a narc! [ Shit. That had sounded defensive. ] I just appreciate that laws keep us from falling to anarchy.

[ And she hates that he's giving her an idea. She really, really does. ]

Actually, can't you just... make sandcastles and ice castles? It's Wonderland. You can probably make a whole room full of sand.

[ And temperature play? Wh-

OH COME ON.

She closes her eyes so he won't see her drop her face into her hands.

Deep breath. ]

Would Wonderland let you put a shit-ton of sand in his room?

[ Yep. She's just going to ignore that he might have just brought up anything remotely sexual with her.

Temperature play.

Sigh. ]

What's wrong with anarchy? Sounds like fun.

[Mick shrugs dismissively but eh. He honestly doesn't care either way, as long as the pigs leave him alone. Not that there really are any here.

Or any laws or rules. Such a snoozefest.]

I dunno. It might. The only certainty is that if I did that, Leonard would return it in kind and that means nothing good for him.

[He wants revenge but

well

he's not an idiot.] Never get into a prank war with Snart. Trust me.

Pretty sure anarchy is what gave birth to organization. People getting together to destroy the little guy, other people getting together to look out for the other guy.

[ She looks shrewd for a moment, but as he mentions Snart and prank wars, she looks vaguely amused. ]

Have experience with playing pranks on Snart, huh?

What if we got together to protect the little guy and destroy organisations?

[That's just how he'd do anarchy.]

Yep. Oh yeah. Definitely. We started way back in juvie, it was a hard lesson to learn that Snart really does play dirty.

Wouldn't you become an organization in trying to take down the organizations? Or do you propose to take out government agencies single-handed?

[ Her eyes slide toward Len as they narrow into slits. ] Do I really want to know what he's capable of when he sets his mind to it? Even a younger version of him?

I'd only need one other person. Technically, it's not an organisation but a partnership.

You don't. He has everything planned out before you even know he has it planned out. Right down to the seconds. It's creepy but handy.

You really think you two could take down government agencies alone? Just the two of you? [ She's not trying to be insulting, Mick, she just has some doubts that two people can be that capable of doing that. ]

Please tell me you two don't have prior experience with this...

Well, it wouldn't be the first time.

[They took down the time masters together but it did kind of kill Snart in the process. That hitch aside, there's little he thinks he can't do as long as Snart has a plan and he knows what he's doing.]

We don't make a habit of it, if that helps?
