All these art pieces with number 9 (oc) and number 6 (canon). Is of the thought-of plot of the Englishman spy having a rural, western son from a previous mission taking place in the States. Thereby an American lover. It’s been 20 years—back then, being an insurgence for the crown was fresh, and the pressure unfathomable. The States was across the pond, freer, livelier. There was perhaps a lady in the heart of America who was kinder.
Number 9 is an Americana cowboy, who’s become a pawn for the government in the hollow promise that in trade for his pledge, his academic debts and familial agricultural debts, would be removed. Yet, within the first months of his assignments, the cowboy saw too much, too soon. The village is his next assignment. The debt collectors wont get to him.
Just the episodic plot of a younger man looking like you, yet completely different, yet he knows you, and wants to know how get his so beloved American-bound freedom back. And you’re willing.
Yet on the other hand, this taking place after Free For All—you’ve been drugged, kidnapped, and tortured—your composure as a gentleman spy has started to crack, and that reflection with a western twang; well, it must be nothing more than a trick by number 2, surely.
That’s what these art pieces have been based upon, a thought experiment if that gentlemen spy ever had a chance to love, and the consequences (and chances to psychologically torture) thereof.
