@ask-benjamintallmadge
Hello!
I'm Major Tallmadge, Continental officer (2nd Continental Light Dragoons) under General Washington. I've finally gotten Tumblr after the many requests from my friends.
Don't be afraid to interact! I'm happy to hear anything from my fellow Patriots.
- Major Benj. Tallmadge
he is so baby awe @ask-benjamintallmadge u guys r so chill
I'd like to think we are! He is very baby.
- Major Benj. Tallmadge
Hello, Major Tallmadge.
I've considered your words from the party, and I have finally concluded that I will be taking up your offer.
If you still wish for this to go forward, please do tell me how you want communication to work from now on. And, I suppose an alias is in order?
- Capt. J. Graves Simcoe
@ask-jgsimcoe
I'm very glad you decided, Simcoe. I give you my assurance as a gentleman and an officer that you'll be made as safe as possible.
You'd be correct about an alias. I'm sure that, by the time correspondence has begun, you'll be informed of your assumed name, and those of your peers.
Though, I hope this doesn't come off as very suspicious, but I have to consider this for the confidentiality of our fellow Patriots—your truthfulness. It would be easy for you to get the names of any involved persons and have them all caught. I'd like to remind you of the consequences that will happen if you attempt to sell out anyone. We have men with influence and power and British connections, so if it's discovered that you've even considered giving away the ring, you'll hang with them, if not for espionage then for sodomy.
Still—if you can prove your loyalty (preferably by, maybe, giving us a smaller piece of information, such as troop and canon numbers or if there are any anticipated raids) I will write you the directions to a dead drop as well as the code you'll be writing intelligence in.
Thank you, sir.
- Major Benj. Tallmadge
things are happening... and more things will happen....
Hopefully the things I need to happen will happen...
- Major Benj. Tallmadge
Hello little M!
:3
- Major Benj. Tallmadge
you should probably tell the ring about the new addition
Oh, right...
I'm sure they'll be thrilled.
- Major Benj. Tallmadge
i think if you asked M she'd say the same thing
Oh, god... what does this mean....
- Major Benj. Tallmadge
I haven't seen you and 🐈 in the same room together at the exact same time ... weird .......
Really? ...No one has?
- Major Benj. Tallmadge
how are your Plans going?
I'm... not sure. I can hope Simcoe does the right thing, but he's not known for that... I'll have to convince him somehow.
- Major Benj. Tallmadge
you know, nobody's ever seen you and 🐈 in the same room...
I'm sure they have. Wasn't 🐈 getting up to something during the party?
- Major Benj. Tallmadge
Trees... I was in one of those once. I don’t even remember how I got there... sorry, never mind.
- Major Benj. Tallmadge
sorry i couldnt attend the party, my school shooted (/ref) me and beated my grades😿💔
It's alright!
Focus on school if you need to! I know how important it is. We can always have more parties, but you can't always have more school, right?
- Major Benj. Tallmadge
... Interesting party.
- Major Benj. Tallmadge
Have you not seen? Your mother is most certainly a ghost, young man.
A very fine one, at that! She's a wonderful woman. It's a shame you haven't been able to see her! Or, perhaps she's intentionally doing this. I'm sure you know her better, and so I'm sure you know how... interesting she can be.
- simcoe's mom's ghost <3
Sh— she is?!
That's... either way, that's great!
- Major Benj. Tallmadge
I don't think Cam likes you too much modpodge
I can see that. And feel it. 😢🤕
- Major Benj. Tallmadge
it seems that public opinion of you is starting to become negative, tallmadge!
I guess it makes sense that Loyalists wouldn't like me, but it's not an issue with anyone else, right?
- Major Benj. Tallmadge
When Simcoe is standing around by himself, Tallmadge walks up to him, silently for a moment before speaking.
"Captain, if you.. if you don't mind, could we have a word in private?"
The sense of urgency in Tallmadge's tone suggested it'd happen whether Simcoe didn't mind or not.
- @ask-benjamintallmadge
"Good evening, Tallmadge."
Simcoe stares unblinkingly, maybe trying to scare him off so he wouldn't have to talk to him, but eventually he sighs.
"Very well then. What is it, Major? If it's so important, it can be said now."
- Capt. Simcoe
"It can't be. Sorry."
Without another word, Tallmadge beckons Simcoe to follow him, and the two of them walk to a more secluded area of the house, Simcoe trailing behind hesitantly.
Shutting the door behind him as they entered the office, Tallmadge was effectively blocking Simcoe in the room. Not that Simcoe couldn't overpower him, but he likely didn't wan't to cause a scene.
"Alright..."
He sighs.
"I know what's going on with you and Major Hewlett."
"Excuse me?!"
Simcoe was taken aback, and looking pretty angry.
"Th— that's—"
He breathed heavily, though it was unclear if it was from shock, anger, or fear, or maybe a mix of all three, but he eventually calmed down enough to not seem like he was going to kill Tallmadge.
"Whatever it is you think, why are you telling me? Shouldn't you be running off to tell someone who can have me in trouble?"
Tallmadge is surprisingly calm—or maybe he's just great at hiding how be feels right now.
"You don't want me to tell anyone, right?"
He gestures for Simcoe to respond, and when he eventually nods, Tallmadge continues.
"Good, because I have an ultimatum. I won't tell anyone about you and Hewlett's sodomy, and you..."
He puts his hand over something in his coat, presumably a weapon.
"You'll become a spy for the Patriots."
Simcoe blinks. Shocked, clearly. Then, he laughs.
"Hah! I already suspected you were mad, Tallmadge, but not this much! Do you really think I'd be a rebel spy— for what? Because you asked?"
After he gets over most of his amusement, he scoffs, though still grinning.
"We're not buggers, unfortunately. You don't have much to threaten me with, hm?"
He holds up a finger like ☝️ this.
"But, you can't prove that, can you? An accusation of sodomy only needs a few witnesses, then no one would know better. You could be court martialed, or worse..."
Tallmadge looks at Simcoe's dawning face of displeasure and continues.
"If you just give us simple intelligence, you'll be safe, and on the right side of the war. I'll tell you where to go get us the information."
The other hasn't spoken yet, so he keeps trying to convince him.
"Do you remember Lieutenant Terrence? Consider this, to a small extent, as recompense."
"Ah."
He seems to be coming to the realisation of his lack of power, especially as he sees Tallmadge keeping his hand on what he can only assume is a pistol.
"I do remember him. He died because he was a bad spy. Why would spying be any safer than not?"
Tallmadge interjects— "If you don't, you'll definitely suffer, and if you do, there's only a chance."
He makes a good point. It's blackmail, of course it's a good point. He's less likely to die, only if he becomes a traitor.
"It's very dirty work, Tallmadge, not only to do this, but to drag the innocent into it as well. If you succeed in convicting me of sodomy, Hewlett suffers the same consequences. It takes two to commit it, doesn't it?"
Simcoe looks down briefly, and pauses for a moment.
"You're a fool. More than I could have ever expected."
With that, he looks back up pushes Tallmadge from in front of the door and leaves the office.
Cam nearly had a heart attack on the spot considering they were set up right next to the door Simcoe had left through, but thankfully, he was too distracted to notice them with the ghosts, right there. After a careful moment of consideration, they muttered something to their companions about staying put and tucked their Hearing Charm back into their satchel before entering the office themself to speak with the major. And hopefully not do anything rash in the process.
This isn't gonna end well..
Should we stop them?
Nah, I wanna see what'll happen.
I'll just.. take Coral to do something else. Disrespecting other's privacy is never alright, okay bug?
But why'd we do it just now then?
...Good question.
Tallmadge jumped a little when he saw them, clearly not expecting anyone else.
C— Cam, right? Yes? You heard all of that?
His hand jolted to his the inside of his coat for a second, before he pulled it back, because he probably wouldn't shoot some kid, even if they were a Loyalist.
I did. I just wanted to tell you something.
They took a deep breath, and stared him down as if considering turning away or drawing closer before punching him in the face with their left hand and then immediately pivoting to leave without looking back, with only a call of,
Mind your own business.
Before speed walking in the direction Simcoe had left once again. That could've gone worse. Maybe.
...Yeah, I'm really starting to think we should've made them stay rather than come here.
He stared at them in shock, holding a hand over his freshly punched face.
When he recovered from the surprise, he scampered out from the office rather meekly. Seems like getting punched scared him more than attempting to blackmail someone.
