I'm not sure if the drugs make him really gullible.

>>884243
Heyo, let's dupe the guy

>>884273
The drugs make him naive. Only practical difference there is really outlandish claims, which this isn't. Astrophysicists exist, the economy isn't perfectly efficient so some of them will occasionally end up between jobs. Running into one at random, right when you need them most, is serendipitous but not inherently suspicious. The core of this assignment is to monopolize his attention, and offering exactly what he wants will achieve that at least for a little while even if he doesn't really believe it, since he'd be compelled to engage with the offer somehow in an effort to find some actual flaw before refusing.

If the initial teacher gambit doesn't work he'll probably blab his reasons, so then have another division move in with "independent confirmation" and try to "protect him from the scammer" or whatever. Teacher can circle around, get out of sight, change shape and prepare the next layer of contingency.

>>883993
What's that, an anatomy textbook? Maybe we could help with that!

Sugartooth briefly looks up just how naive the drug can make people, but this is one of the factors that varies too wildly among people. There's nothing about the drug that directly causes one to be naive or gullible. What it does typically do is cause a newfound love for learning anything and everything, which can motivate belenosians to believing anything to get the best payoff.

"And you know what else? This planet was made out of 500 or so smaller planets that crashed into each other over the history of the solar system."
>"How do you know that?"
"I'm an astrophysicist teacher."

There's a brief hint of incredulous behavior from him, but not as much as wanting to know more.

>"Hmm! Then... answer a few question!"

Trecci asks a few brief questions that are quickly answered using the internet. Sugartooth gets into the car, and he seems more excited than anything about it, so the second division also gets in.

>"Who's that?"
>"Her teaching assistant." says Sugartooth 2.
"You know, there are phones you can use for this sort of stuff."
>"Not good enough! I don't want to know what the circumference of the moon is, I want to know how to figure out what the circumference of the moon is!"

"How about we go to a planetarium? They're having a special on the history of science, saying how everything was figured out!"
>"That is a great idea. Car! To the nearest planetarium!"

The car gets moving again, no longer leaving a scene of a girl running barefoot into the street.

Sugartooth pacifies Trecci by reading off an astronomy journal she found on the internet.

Sugartooth finds out the planetarium is just by the library anyway, as part of a public learning building. There are conveniently smaller study rooms that can be rented to allow Sugartooth's divisions to be alone with Trecci.

More inconveniently, Trecci has relocated the lollipop that stuck itself onto the center console. He starts making a motion to get at it to start eating it.

Test his self-awareness by acting dumb and asking if he has kids that left that there.

>>884735
ask if you can suck on his lollipop. pick it up while doing so.

Mention this candy is probably dirty now, if it was stuck to the surface.

>>884738
Makes the most sense for a teacher persona.

Do your best to distract him from having more drugs. But don't push to hard. If he finishes off that candy its ok but do your best to keep him from starting another one.

When he goes for the candy ask if he has that bad of a sweat tooth. What is is favorite flavor and other candy related questions.

If you can get his eyes off it hide the drugs using a tentacle slid down there or just your twins hand. If he notices it missing remark it must have fallen between the seats.

>>884735
Grab it yourself.
"Oh sweet, candy!"
Scarf it.

>More inconveniently, Trecci has relocated the lollipop that stuck itself onto the center console. He starts making a motion to get at it to start eating it.
Is that a problem? So long as he's not eating the drugs in front of a cop, we just have to keep him out of trouble. And the more he forgets, the more vulnerable he is to pretty blatant manipulation and factoids.

>what do
If we can't trick him into not eating it, asking for a hit yourself / passing it around would reduce how much he gets, since anything your divisions suck off isn't doing anything.

>>884772
It'd be better for everyone concerned if he came down from his trip sooner rather than later, I think.

Teacher: act dumb, think it's candy
TA: inform teacher no, that's drugs
Teacher: go all elementary school teacher on him and confiscate it.

Sugartooth puts her face in the way of Trecci grabbing it.

"Did your kids leave a lollipop?"

He starts to say something, but then his face blinks in realization.

>"Yeah!" He lies, showing he has enough self awareness to not talk about drugs sitting out in the open. "I'd better, uh, deal with that. I have a trash can up here."
"No need!"

Sugartooth pries it off the console and puts it in her mouth. It's not a mission failure if Trecci has more, but the sooner he comes down, the sooner the mission is a success.

>"Teach..." says the TA.
"What? This console is clean, I could eat off it, and I don't want good candy to go to waste. I have a sweet tooth, you know!"
>"What, uh..." Trecci struggles to gather basic words. "What flavor is that?"
"Hm... it's actually got a little spice to it! Otherwise, it's generic fruit flavor."
>"I-I see! I, uh, have no idea where my kids go to buy those things, so I always wondered what their tastes were. I think uh... we need to go. We have to get you to, uh... shoot.... where... where..."
"The planetarium?"
>"YES."
"I agree!"

Since things like planetariums and libraries are popular attractions to people under the effects of lollipops, Sugartooth 1 deals with renting a small room while Sugartooth 2 acts like a clingy girlfriend to distract him.

The entry goes smoothly, and there's no signs of anyone caring about Trecci too much as they begin to watch a 6 hour long lecture on the movement of the stars. The first hour, he's ecstatic about it and completely forgets about the drug incident. The second and third hour, he's extremely interested. In the fourth hour, he looks interested, then puzzled.

>"Wait a minute. I know all of this."

.....

>"You're...."

>"You're not a real astrophysicist teacher, are you?"

>>884892
I can be

I work for a friend of your dad's. He sent me out to take care of you for the day.

Now why would you think that suddenly?

>>884892
Give him enough to finish the documentary. You can talk this over when he's had his fun.

Honestly, this is like running out of popcorn halfway through a movie. It's one of the worst feelings.

"I can teach lots of things. But aren't you happy I told you I was, and brought you here? Just think about all the other things you - and more importantly, that other people - could have learned about. I'm on your side. If this doesn't interest you any more, and you're still not feeling yourself, would you prefer to go somewhere more private and see about maybe learning a few actually new things for a little while?"

I hope we've just stowed the lollipop inside ourselves rather than breaking it down. Analyzing it could give us clues to where it came from and who sold it.

>>884892
Whichever Sugartooth ate that lollipop, whisper to him, “Shhh! This stuff is really cool!”

>>884892
"I can be whatever you want me to be"

Pull the goofiest, most gleeful look you can manage and say, "I'm a what?"

>>884892
Well! I wouldn't be much of a teacher if I just gave you the answer instead of having you show your work.

Why do you say that?

>backup plan
If we're forced to admit we're not really a teacher, confess you find people caught up in learning really sexy. You couldn't help but tag along.

>>884892

Chuckle softly at his wigged-out expression and smile reassuringly.

"Nope, but does it really matter who I am? You've got to realize that everything we've done has been to your benefit. We got you out of the public eye, we stopped you from getting too high for too long and patiently waited for you to come down, and now we're only gonna ask you for a tiny favor for taking up some of our time. It's as sweet a deal as they come, honey."

Show off some recordings on your phone of his expressions, so he can have a viscerally embarassed reaction to how silly he looked and acted. Get him to reveal his drug source and his reason for trying the lollipop in the first place, since he's supposed to be such a good boy. If he's just bored and stressed, take whatever sob story he serves in stride and tell him to just ease up on the extreme solutions. Plenty of ways to have fun or be adventurous without druggin' up... and if he relents, or if it helps him relent, reward him with sex in the time that remains. Unless the study room you've hired contains a camera, in which case, either don't suggest it or take him elsewhere.

Suggest his cover story to anyone asking why he disappeared for so long can be that he hit on two nice women and went on a friendly study date. It'd be almost true, at least as far as any surveillance is concerned.

>>884892
"Okay, you got me. It's just a hobby really, but I was excited to meet somebody as interested as I am so I got carried away! Sorry!"

"As long as you're on drugs, I am one."

Say you just thought they didn't know too much on the subject since they were asking simple questions earlier. Tell them if they already know the basics, ask them if they'd like to move on to some more interesting topics and theories?

If he's come down, the planetarium isn't going to interest him anymore. But don't mention his dad, that might just make him panic. Just tell him you're here to make sure he's safe and doesn't get caught by anyone. And also you'd like to know where he got the lollipop.

>Analyzing lollipop
Sugartooth is keeping the lollipop in her, but they're kept in a plastic wrapper for the customer, so analyzing impurities within the lollipop haven't yielded clues about the source.

"You were asking simple questions, so I figured you didn't know much about the subject. And I like teaching, even if it's just a hobby!"
>"Har. I don't know if you're serious. Who..."

He pauses for a moment.

>"Shit, I lost my train of thought."
"If you know all this stuff, we can move onto more interesting topics and theories."
>"No, that's enough astronomy."

>"I'm basically fine now."

>"I'm coming down."

>"But really, who are you?"
"I'm whoever you want me to be."
>"Don't give me that crap, and you are not just some person who likes teaching people stuff!"
"What makes you say that?"
>"Oy... I know I'm still high, but the idiot-phase is over. No biological barefoot belenos or jetal just happens to stumble on me and keep me away from making an ass of myself in front of the town."

Unity may need to keep in mind that walking barefoot even on clean streets isn't as socially accepted as she thought.

>"Thanks for that, seriously, but who are you?"

I am a high end escort/diplomat/freelancer that gets called up when people need something done with a gentle touch.

Maybe use the Princess Toya name? Nothing that can connect you to the syndicate.

As for where you came from you got a call from a guy who finds you work and he said to go make sure this guy has a wonderful and very private trip.

>>886723
I am a high end escort/diplomat/freelancer that gets called up when people need something done with a gentle touch.

Your handlers were worried and made a call, and the people they called made a call, and here I am. And now you're on a date at the planetarium instead of wandering the streets.

>>886722
I suppose "handywoman" would be the closest term. I help people get things done.

Keep princess toya out of this probably, better invent an alias until you know more about where he's getting the lollipops.

That candy you bought comes with a warranty. When there's trouble, somebody might notice, and I'm the on-site tech support they called in.

>>886722
Fern said Mrs. Vall, this kid’s mom, said he doesn’t know what vice is, so I don’t think we should be attempting to seduce him or anything. Hell, this kid looks way too young for that anyways.

So what do we do now? Do we hang around with him for a little bit? Question him on where and who gave him the lollipop? Take him back to his handlers? All of the above?

>>886769
Also, while we’re still in this room with the lights turned down, let’s have our divisions morph their feet to look like they’re wearing shoes, for the sake of not having anyone else question a couple of biologicals walking around barefoot.

"Let's say I'm someone who is not at all interested in causing you or your family any trouble - in fact, very much the opposite! - but who is very interested in knowing all about where you got that lollipop from. I have a feeling it didn't come from any established candy maker. You understand what I mean, right? Me and my friend have been your friends so far, so how about you return the favour, and maybe we'll see how much more friendly we can get? I don't deal in threats. If threats were on the table, you'd be talking to someone else. I don't think you need to ever have anything to do with them... so long as they have someone else to focus on."

We can't really make threats here, but a little bit of a bluff to play on his nerves might work. Even if all we have is a carrot, the illusion of a stick will make things a lot easier.

You were sent to be a guardian angel of sorts; he should be glad he's got such good friends who want him looked after.

>We need you to stop him, with two ground rules. First off, you don't force him. Second, you aren't with the syndicate.
Terms of engagement are we can't tell him the truth. We also probably shouldn't just refuse to answer, because if he stops to think about who has an interest in keeping him out of trouble, he might figure out it's the syndicate.

Best lie might be to make ourself look a little sinister, like we have an ulterior motive. We're working for someone who wants dirt on his family, or is working an angle.

That or we just claim to get off on this.

"Mmmm. I'm something of a friendly busybody I guess. I helped out you, maybe that means I can call in a favor later?"

Probably should make up a new name on the spot in case we need to use it to contact him again. We won't really need a favor, but if he thinks we might, that we only helped him because it gets us something, it's a more plausible narrative for him to buy. We don't even have to specify what our angle is- his imagination will come up with things for us. (We're looking for leverage on his Dad's business or something).

>>886817
We could pretend to be with the cops. I bet Incoming Wife would let a user go to catch the dealer, and maybe spice the investigation with some sensual bribery if she thought the target was cute and a decent enough person really. We should emulate her! Or, this possibly-fictitious idea of her, anyway. That way, we could even claim to know the lollipops weren't involved without giving away that we're with them; we can just say this was obviously a more amateur deal than they would do.

Or, if we wanted to give up any further investigation and just cut this off as safely as possible now, we could just say something like "I'm a prostitute and your handlers put out a call for someone who could be a distraction to someone in your condition, a couple of someone-who-knows-someones later and here I am. I'm yours for another hour or two if you wanted to get someone else's money's worth."

>>886769
>Fern said Mrs. Vall, this kid’s mom, said he doesn’t know what vice is
When a mother thinks their kid is a perfect angel who has never thought of doing bad stuff, it means the mother is deluded and the kid is generally good at hiding stuff, never that the kid is actually an angel.
And he's at LEAST a late teen. He has a car of his own.

>>886722
"I know you're still curious about everything, but confidentiality is as much my business as keeping cute guys out of trouble is."

"Boiling it down, I guess most people would just say I'm a prostitute, but I'd prefer to say I provide pleasant diversions for people, in all sorts of ways. Someone needed you diverted and I was asked to help. Don't ask me who exactly, it was a friend-of-a-friend thing and I'm not telling you my end. For you, one of your helpers, I'd guess? I honestly don't know much about you, if you'd like to talk about yourself at all. How old are you?"
