Melody smiled. "Let's see, here's someone!" She walked up to a stall and hissed, "Keep your cover!" to Ellis. "Hi, we're looking for someone."

Want me to do her/him?

Go ahead

[Condensation she/her]

The matronly woman smiled. "And who are you looking for?"

"Someone," replied Melody matter-of-factly.

"Oh, sorry, Granpa." Melody smiled.

"So, who are you looking for?"

"We're trying to find... someone who disagrees with the way this city is run."

The woman's eyes widen. "What?"

"I'm really into activism."

The woman nods, accepting this answer. "There are a couple. Some more exclusive than others."

"Ah, thank you."

[Condensation she/her]

The woman led the way into the back of her booth, where she sat down on one of four chairs. "Please, have a seat."

Halfway debating having her either be a member of one of them or call one of them to come get these two people who are obviously from out of town. Or both.

"The same, thanks."

The woman smiled and stood, turning to get the drinks.

Sorry, edited it in.

She handed them each a glass and sat down again, holding one for herself. "So, you wanted to know about activist groups?"

"The most well known one is also the most powerful. They're the ones who run the black market and do things that... the leader doesn't want to do. Then there's the one against it."

The woman took a drink, cleared her throat, and sighed. "The Death Angels. They may oppose our leader, but everywhere they go, death follows."
