[Video, catching you awake. ^^] missthewoman May 1 2011, 06:18:23 UTC

[Glancing briefly over the papers shown in the video feed, Irene sighs slightly. It sounds terribly like some mix of police work and Holmes-like reasoning. (Something she'd perhaps rather not get involved in.)
However, one or two things do catch her eye.]

If I may, have you read to the end of Chapter One yet? I'll admit some curiosity as to how a schoolteacher and a sumo wrestler are alike.

Awake is good! 11ady May 1 2011, 06:24:19 UTC

[looks up at her Guide; well, she's had her fair share of strange calls today]

Not finished as of yet. As far as I can see, it concerns incentives and how they can be both beneficial and detrimental.

missthewoman May 1 2011, 06:44:54 UTC

Interesting. I would very much like to hear the end of this riddle, once you read the whole answer.

[There is a tinge of amusement in her voice at that. For, allusions to incentives aside, perhaps she could use the riddle against Holmes or Mister Sherlock sometime.]

11ady May 1 2011, 06:47:26 UTC

That I shall be certain to tell you once I uncover it.

[a small smile]

But I fear I'll have to insist on your identity as recompense. I'm Lady Une.

missthewoman May 1 2011, 08:26:31 UTC

[Police talk if she'd ever heard it. But polite all the same.]
You need only ask, not insist. [She gives an amused smile and a pleasant nod of her head.]

Irene Adler. A pleasure, Lady Une. And thank you. I look forward to hearing back about the riddle.

11ady May 1 2011, 08:36:59 UTC

Seems I'm still sorely lacking in grace.

It's nice to meet you, Miss Adler. I'll be certain to get back to you.

[She takes a moment to scrutinize the image on her Guide; definitely familiar and not of the Sif]

I think I've seen a few of your posts on the network. An opera singer? Would that be correct?

missthewoman May 1 2011, 17:14:29 UTC

[At least the lady realizes that about her own manners.]

[Irene bears the scrutiny with a smile, and looks carefully at the other lady in turn. The voice is familiar, and given what is written on the papers, something about non-lethal force comes to mind.]

Yes, that was indeed my last message. Will you be attending the performance?

11ady May 2 2011, 07:33:19 UTC

At the moment, it's a luxury I can't afford. However, I'm certain you sing splendidly to have been given such a position.

missthewoman May 2 2011, 08:35:30 UTC

That is most kind of you to say. Truly, I am performing at a fraction of my ability in this show. However, one must prove themselves from the start here. Prima donna means something in one world, yet it means nothing in another.
I'm certain you have encountered a similar case at some point.

11ady May 2 2011, 08:44:01 UTC

We're agreed. It's best to perform optimally at all times. The problem arises when one becomes hindered by outside forces. In my case, finances.

I believe my current predicament is an exemplification.

missthewoman May 2 2011, 08:50:12 UTC

Is that so?

Being impoverished upon arriving aboard the Thor is troublesome, but nothing that can't be overcome.

[But she has something other than that on her mind, doesn't she.]

11ady May 2 2011, 08:53:39 UTC

With a little hard work.

Honest hard work.

missthewoman May 4 2011, 02:29:58 UTC

I take that to mean that you've had some trouble with dishonest workers? How unfortunate.

11ady May 4 2011, 03:00:38 UTC

Not within the organization I once ran.

[a smirk]

They'd never pass the first battery of tests.

missthewoman May 4 2011, 06:55:14 UTC

Sounds like you have it quite under control.
Why the emphasis on 'honesty', then?

11ady May 4 2011, 07:07:40 UTC

Doesn't it deserve emphasis regardless of circumstance?
