Hey, if Simon gets to hang out on a roof all day, why can't I? Requisition some binoculars and go hang out with Simon for awhile.

Darn. Keep sleeping, I guess. What time of day is it right now?

Its a bit hard to track times between everyone so I'm gonna say its around noon.

Is this man of questionable style choices around? If not, when can we expect this person to arrive, or do they perhaps know where he lives?


Spoiler: Radioman (click to show/hide)
You ask around about the man and the regulars say he shows up in the evenings, usually around sundown. No one knows anything more.

Await the goatee'd man of letters. Sit and listen to his spiel, should he arrive today. Nod along thoguhtfully, and mutter something about how "America should hear this," and "The people ought to know." If he becomes interested and approaches us, mention our tabloid (the one we are pretending to be editors of) and hint that a broader audience might be beneficial. Try to do all this without pissing off the actual locals.
Meanwhile, engage in billiards, darts, and bar-room bets. Especially the ones related to men with radios for heads (maybe).

Sitting and waiting.

Keep watching female officers from the rooftop, like an absolute creep.  Silently shoot anyone who attacks them.

"If I was in charge of this army all the female officers would be in skirts I tell you what. Skirts and stationed in very windy areas." You shift your aim from one to another and back again. "Bird hunter would have been a better cover for me, Rifle and all. Silenced bird hunter. Hunting rare urban birds. Urban birdan."

((Could I ask how handie-talkies work? :-[ Can I contact a specific person or something?))

Tala shifted to contact Bob and Simon. No word from Radioman or the other 888th meant no information flow, and she was sure her handie-talkie didn't have enough...range--was the best word she knew for it--to reliably contact the others.
I'm thinking it won't be that simple is all, she said after relating what she experienced. No special team won't be called in for something the local authorities can handle. Did anyone catch where our deliverers are getting their supplies? That's the best target we can aim for rather than aiming at the drivers, even if they're a good lead themselves. There must be a management to this. Going to double check with who I guess is a reliable guy.

Ask around for... ((um, what I could think is best for this situation. I don't know the concise term for the handler of deliveries.))
Ok, ask that man who got angry about how he gets his papers. Drift into casual conversation about the topic, but inquire about what he thinks--what the locals think too, since he's running a newstand himself. (like how long this [pertaining to these 'news' I just angered him with] has been going on and whatnot)
Spoiler: My Sheet (click to show/hide)
Handie Talkies work like what we call walkie talkies (In WW2 walkie talkies were what they called the large radios you guys usually use). You have different channels you can switch between. Usually you have an "All" channel and then specific channels for specific people. So yes, you can contact a specific person.

The man buys his papers from the publishers and resells them. As per "What he thinks" you have to tell me the subject. What he thinks about what? The defeatist paper? The situation? People making that paper? General mood regarding those events?

"Damn, sounds like I need to get lucky. Can you tell me who to look for, at least?"

Ask. Catch him if he runs.

"Guy about 5'8. Pale. Goatee, Bowler hat. Has an accent, sounded Swiss or something."

 
Hey, if Simon gets to hang out on a roof all day, why can't I? Requisition some binoculars and go hang out with Simon for awhile.

You get some binoculars and then go sit on the roof with Simon. You're not quite sure how to feel about his various short skirt mutterings.

"Thanks for helping out a friend!"

Walk away, radio description to all team members when nobody's around, then go get a change of clothes. My trench knife should never be out of reach during this process.

Well the specifics of the process are kind of irrelevant for the defeatist paper because its not part of some large publisher, its done by some guys independently. Their methods and actions will be nothing like those of normal papers aside from some basic ones.

As per what he thinks of the paper, I think his getting mad about it is a fairly obvious indication what he thinks about it.

And by God, was she going to use it.

Could we t-t-timeskip?

Either way, scan the airwaves while we're idle, try to pick up anything suspicious (that isn't our own gaggle of thugs, mind).

"Oh, hey Alice!  You come up to watch Tala with me?  Can't say it's very fun, her clothes are waaay too practical to look good.  I bet she'd look great in a nice dress, and hey, it'd make information easier to get!  Or it'd at least make this less boring.  Whatta you think?"

Discuss Tala's disguise with Alice, and how some proper skin-showing fashion could increase her information gathering abilities by over nine-thousand percentiles.  Be ready to shoot anyone who physically insults her fashion sense, though.

Err, this. Continue discussion. Find leads to this investigation that way, by talk.

You radio the description in and then go change your clothes in the park crescent apartment where its safe. You still keep your knife near you. Never know when Alice will get into one of her...moods.

June in England so...dreary, cloudy, and depressing.

"I'm just saying, flashing some thigh is a classic information gathering technique. Also it makes this substantially less boring."

This random newspaper man who dislikes the defeatist newspaper and doesn't sell it or have any connection to it doesn't know anything about its creation or distribution.

I'm gonna time skip us to the evening for Radio.

Around 6pm a man who you're pretty sure is the one everyone was talking about wanders into the bar and sits at a table.
