The Libertines have the plan now all that remains is to execute it and hope things go well. And not to accidently blow their cover to the questionably sane, possibly paranoid, occult podcaster.
"I'll send you a link to her podcasts," she told Eidolon, "Start listening. If we're gonna be her fans, we need to sound like we know her shite. Funny, isn't it? The Quiescence made most of the people think Leo here was a movie prop, but with Millie, it fed into her obsession over cryptids. I wonder if she's close to Awakening."
Leonardo's bones and shell were arranged into a decently recognizable pattern, but not so much that it looked staged. The random splatter of biological glop probably helped with that. A few pics were taken, with Thirteen trying to get the best angles and lighting. Then she got to writing a draft in the burner email account. After a few minutes, she was ready.
"How's this sound? Ahem.
RE: The Turtle
MillieZapper, Been listening for a while now. You know your stuff. A friend and I found something you might be interested in. If you want to discuss it, name a time and place.

She looked over at the Warlock. "I included the best pic. Good enough? Anything I should add?" If there were no notes, the Acanthus would hit send.

Eidolon looks at the email and the picture. "Looks good to me. Send it and see if she gets back to us."

An insightful observation with weighty consequences, either Millie has a staggeringly rare degree of willpower, enough to shake off the effects of the quintessence naturally or if she can recognise Leonardo for what he is, an actual creature then its hold on is slipping or already broken. Awakening candidate? Possible.
After a slow, dragging, painful few hours the burner e-mail dings with a message in the inbox that isn't junk.
--If that's for real then hell yeah I'm interested. Won't be the first to pull my leg though. Not the first to come after me either if that's your angle. Meet at Starbucks down town, wear a TMNT backpack. --
If Millie was a Sleepwalker, this could get interesting. Well, more interesting. And possibly more complicated. In any case, the email was sent, and during the intervening hours, Thirteen kept busy.
First, she collected Leo's bones and shell and went to a washroom to rinse them off. She was particularly gentle with the deteriorating shell. Once she had them cleansed of the goop and smell, she returned to the 'waiting room' and made herself comfortable.
The rest of the time was spent listening to Millie's podcasts. The Leonardo episode first, then some random ones. Mentally, she noted any bits that stood out as particularly entertaining or informative (as informative as a podcast like this could be, at least).
Phone buzzed: Email received. Podcast paused. If this was spam, she was going to punch someone. Nope, it was Millie.
"Bingo! We'll meet her at a downtown Starbucks. Let's grab Leo and go buy a Ninja Turtle backpack on the way." The Acanthus hopped to her feet, turning to Eidolon. "I guess it's so she'll recognize us. I needed a new one, anyway."

Eidolon not one to sit and wait idly started off by pacing then soon got comfortable and decided to take a nap. It had been a long day and was about to get a bit longer.
He was in the half nap sleep where he was still resting but able to hear his surroundings when he heard the ding. "Let's take an Uber to our destination. It will help us avoid drawing too much attention and ensure our anonymity."
Eidolon pulls out his phone and requests an uber, stating they have two stops.

The uber is ordered to pick them up a few blocks away, no need to draw any attention to the circle regardless of it wards and protections.
Leo is carefully washed clean of his gooey remains, it helps, the bones still stink but no where near as bad as they did entwined with biological mess. Millie's podcasts very rarely feature guests she seems to see her role more lie ka reporter keeping the public aware of this sighting, that rumour keeping the evidence of various cryptids known and available. Millie does not keep to just terrestrial sightings ghosts, spirts and aliens also make the list and get air time, interesting she differentiates ghosts and spirts as separate things. She normally holds it together for about twenty minutes or so before the mania sets in and she begins to sound increasingly like someone wearing a tin foil hat and ends off with rants about people out to bury the truth hiding these things from the public of government agents and assassination attempts.
Some note worthy ones from the recent podcasts include false police tip off about planted drugs, feigned gas or radiation leaks o and the use of spectacle like crashes and explosions to distract from the real agenda.
Still Both mages are clued in enough to have an idea of what she is about, have reference material and a general pattern of behaviour.
Before to long they have to leave to catch the Uber and their scheduled meet up.
Okay with a plan in place, and a new location closing this one up. Also frees it up for the order meeting! Good work both!
