A few days into the Jaunt

[heartofmetal]

So, this is my first time in a situation like this so I wanted to ask some advice.

How do you cope when the most important person in your life is an infiltrator? Do you try to keep an eye on them or leave then be?

I plan to stalk the hell out of my apprentice, personally, but I've got archnemesis experience, so I should blend in fairly well.

[heartofmetal]

Archnemesis experience? Surely there's no need for you to turn into anyone's archnemesis just to blend in.

Well, this appears to be a world of superheroes and supervillains. I can't think of any better way to see Maria once a week than to perform some "crime" she needs to stop.

I mean I guess I could masquerade as a relative, but her overlay's family would question it. A strangely-dressed woman vandalizing things, though? It happens hourly.

[heartofmetal]

As long as you don't become a supervillain that hinders what investigators need to do, that sounds like a better idea. We don't know what her family is like and getting too involved with infiltrators' life might be risky.

[Which is why he needed to ask for advice on what he should do from the distance.]

There's no reason for me to get in the way of whatever our objective is. If anything, I can serve as a decoy for people focusing on that. If you're less experienced with playing a role, it's probably best to work on your observational and disguise skills.

I've never really needed to disguise myself too much, so it would probably be a good idea to get some skills related to that at some point... for situations like this.

Though for now, I guess I will observe from far.
