As soon as the news of the water taint went viral, Internet wondered if he could get any cameo pictures of some of his favorite Oldies bent over a toilet losing their stomach content. He was grateful he drank only bottled water, and stopped even that, not trusting it despite the label reading it had been bottled shipped from fuji or somewhere else unlikely. In order to get the juicy picts he wanted of the old gods, he decided he would have to ask one of them for some assistance. They could share a laugh.

Pheme will get an email with bird stationary:

I am hoping this finds you well. It has been a long few months since the Winter Party and I hope all is forgiven. Irregardless, I am checking in to see if you'd be interested in getting some...indecent? Compromising? Less than graceful? (You get the idea) pictures of some of ~~your kind~~ ~~the oldies~~ ~~your~~ our friends recovering from this unfortunate disaster with the water supply. Old habits die hard. ~~And old gods just need to die, already.~~ I'd like to just hang on to them for any unforeseen future need. You know what I mean.

I.

She reads the email with a widening smirk. Truth be told, her thoughts have been running along similar lines - it's the anticipation of just such a compromising shot or scandalous slip of the tongue that's had her keeping such close tabs on the emerging water crisis.

That Internet wants to seize on the same opportunity to gather a little dirt on his fellow immortals doesn't surprise her - she's well aware of his reputation as a prankster and troublemaker. That he's come to her for help, however, is... intriguing.

She purses her lips thoughtfully, re-reading the message before tapping out a reply.

Ooh, you are a tricky one, aren't you?

Let's say I'm interested. What's in it for me?

	Don't tell me you weren't thinking the same thing. The benefit of working together is we can pool our resources and get all the information we want. I have my restrictions, and you have yours. But together... Imagine the possibilities, my dear. Are you in? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Mmm, you do make a convincing argument. And I'm thinking a guy with your handle on the cyber-world is a useful guy to know.

But I'm going to be giving up a pretty major pay day by sharing the booty with you, sweetie. We're talking in the thousands per photo - tens of thousands, depending on how determined certain persons are to preserve their public image and/or smear somebody else's. So I've gotta be sure you're not going to pull a fast one on me here.

	Sweet sweet Pheme. Have I ever given you reason to doubt me? Ok, we'll table that for now. I want those pictures. If it's just money you need, the Almighty Dollar, all you had to do was ask. Also, pointing me towards which account you would like the numbers "adjusted" in would make it easier, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's nothing personal, babe. Business is business, you know, I'm just looking after my assets. A show of good faith, that's all I'm looking for.

You know what, forget the cash. I've got a better idea. I'm attaching a list of emails--what with your cyber-mojo, I'm assuming it'll only be a teensy matter to dig up their passwords. Get me their login details and you have yourself a deal.

And just so you don't think I'm all talk, I'm also attaching a little good faith of my own. Think of it as a taste of things to come. <3

[Attached to the email is a Word document containing a list of ten email addresses, all of them belonging to fellow gods or influential mortals; and a high-quality photo from last December's winter masquerade, depicting a certain well-respected immortal in a particularly compromising position.]

Internet's eyebrows rose when the picture came through, and he smiled. This was exactly the kind of thing he was looking for. What were a few email passwords compared to more of this? Besides, he never did like passwords. And the owners could simply change it. The problem with security is that it's always being compromised. Sony came to mind. That was the risk of personal information online. Passwords weren't a barrier for him. Once it was online, it was online. But he could see why others would be troubled by them.

Interesting camera angle. I think it really captures the moment. I'm looking forward to working with you.
XOXO

[in exchange, Internet edited the Word doc with the passwords and security questions and answers for the list of emails she had sent. He found her list curious, wondering what these individuals had done to get under the Pheme radar. He sent the finished doc back, briefly hoping this didn't come back to bite him in the ass.]
