A Gift for Anyone Who Asks - 5/11

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard shared a photo. 5/11 near Enchanted Blossoms, Tisse

Now that everything is back to normal, Retrospec has seen fit to send me a little gift, a pocketwatch that doesn't work. How very nice of them. Well, I have a gift for any of you who see this and want to stop by Enchanted Blossoms in the next week, anytime from about 9 to 5 during the week. Don't bother asking what it is before you come by, it's a surprise, no?

(OOC: Action tags are invited, and if you'd prefer to handwave stopping by, feel free to do so. Chloe's gift is a plastic version of a decoder ring that she ordered in bulk. She'll have enough to give anyone that stops by one of them and tell them how to use it, suggesting that people use them to code messages on paper notes to each other that they don't want Retrospec to see.)

'S a place to start, though. That's good.

[It sounds a little beyond him, honestly. But he can try, at least, and worst case scenario he can probably figure out how to decode it even if he can't code it. He hopes.]

Wish I could help more. It seems like this is really freaking you out.

Yes... and at a certain point, we aren't actually professional spies, are we? [She laughed bitterly when she said it.] And it is, but at the same time this is actually more pre-planning, for when things get worse.

And if we're lucky? It's simply a fun diversion.

I'm just glad somebody's thinking ahead. That's not really my thing. I can solve problems in the moment, but ones that might come up months from now--

[He quirks a smile at her.]

It's a good thing you're around.

I am glad, more than anything, that I am not the only one thinking of such things. The possibility that I was the only one would be far more daunting. At least we have a few who are skilled trying to come up with responses.
