AJ wasn't sure how she felt about Algidus' sudden and fervent use of the plural here; he was making it sound like they were going to go on a questioning spree together, when she knew full well that this was all likely to be falling on her shoulders. They could only truly question one or two people in any way that required the both of them before they were caught and before worse could happen. She thought of the scarred woman who'd confronted her in her first few hours, and just how lightly the police dog was likely to go on loners who dragged people out into the jungle and sent them back with bruises and missing parts.
Grumbling, setting her knife on her knee to balance there dangerously, she looked at Algidus, face to face if she was able to. "This is going to take some time. You know how hard it is to earn a fucker's trust? ...I'm new here and they'll smell it off me like I'm made of shit, because to them I pretty much am." AJ didn't flinch, but her brows were furrowed and she was angry all over again. "What you're needing is for me to go in there and schmooze and make everyone put his eyes on me like they have to tell me what I need to know, and I don't work like that." She didn't want to add that her double often did because that ought to be taken for granted. It was one of those things that AJ had thought was exceptionally stupid, that she felt intense second-hand embarrassment about. The risks...
She realized she was balking. The only other option she had right now was to keep monkeying around in trees like a primitive little beast. Squaring her shoulders and glaring out over the river, she said, "I'll do it, providing you keep me in food and drink and bail me out if something goes completely sideways."
((Man I hope we can handwave or link to this thread for the game proper. XD))
