It's hard to tell the time of day in a windowless interrogation room, but the way your eyes ache with weary exhaustion tells you that it must be late into the evening. [break][break]

Hours have passed since you first brought in the League official handcuffed across the table from you. [break][break]

From what you've been told, the man is privy to many of the League's confidential military plans. Locations of bases and weapons caches, names of prominent leadership, access to private communication networks - he knows more than his unassuming appearance lets on. [break][break]

It's up to the two of you to extract as much information as you can.

[attr="class","aurelie_lyrics"]A game of tower defense

[attr="class","aurelie_body"]Pinching the bridge of her nose in exasperation, Aurelie eyed the handcuffed League prisoner across the table. She couldn't stop thinking that, if crucial information genuinely needed to be extracted from an unwilling source, no one would want her, of all people, to handle the interrogation. This process needed a silver-tongued wordsmith, not a one-eyed blacksmith.

At least, howard slayte being here made a little more sense. He was more articulate and persuasive than she was, certainly, and seemed more knowledgeable about not just Rocket but also League activities as well. Still, even his efforts hadn't been enough yet to crack the League prisoner's stubborn silence.

Aurelie sighed deeply, wondering if more drastic measures would be necessary. She knew from TV and movies that cruelty and brutality often worked in these kinds of questionings, though the League official surely knew to expect them from the "evil Team Rocket". But what other tactics could she try?

Meeting the League prisoner's gaze across the table, she slowly and deliberately withdrew a knife from her waist sheath: an elegant tanto knife with a sleek, angular blade. She laid it on the table, not saying a word. The man looked at the knife, narrowed his eyes, and then scoffed audibly.

Before he could say anything, though, Aurelie then turned and reached into a cupboard along the wall. As the League prisoner watched, she pulled out a huge hardback book. With a loud thud, the redhead dropped it on the table next to the knife, the title plainly visible to all three of them: the Encyclopedia of World History.

"Now," she ventured aloud, looking directly at the prisoner, "you know we need answers, and we're running out of time here. I'll let you take your pick of which...tool you'd like us to use on you. The blade...or the book.

"What'll it be?"

PROJECT TOWER: Howard and Aurelie

Whoever in Rocket thought that Aurelie Lefevre needed interrogation practice deserved to be shot. The smith hardly had a malicious bone in her body. If she accidentally hit someone with one of her many forge hammers, she would probably apologize profusely before offering them some bread as a way to smooth things over.

Forcing her to do this, even as practice, was cruel and degrading to her character. Unfortunately, Howard was in no position to contradict the orders of two of his fellow admins. They were his seniors, and they also had wizard powers.

It made for a deadly combination.

The thud of the history book rang out like a cannon blast. It caused the interrogation table to shudder under its weight, and the admin raised an eyebrow at the prisoner.

The admin looked terrible, almost as bad as the prisoner. His gaze was distant, his voice dry, his lips cracked. Dynergy poisoning was a toxic affair, and dealing with Regice's rampage in Dewford and Registeel's attack in the desert had not given the admin much time to heal.

I know this book from cover to cover. I can read it to you, word for word. Page four hundred and sixty four is about the Unification of Sinnoh. Page six hundred is about the dissolution of the Indigo Kingdom into Kanto and Johto. Page seventy-four is about ancient ironworking techniques."

His eye, looking beyond the room into the unknown, flicked down towards the prisoner.

"And we can make these lectures as riveting or as dull as you wish." He nodded enthusiastically at Aurelie, clearly oblivious to torture and interrogation. He was a scholar and she was a smith, after all. "Choose."

His words echoed hers.
