[Video, catching you awake. ^^]

[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.

[11ady]

It made me yearn for distraction. I thought it prudent to be functional while I was at it.

[missthewoman]

Certainly. Always best to hit two birds with one stone.

[11ady]

Why just two? Upset the whole flock and send them flying into a net.

[missthewoman]

[She gives a low chuckle at that.]

Very well said.

[11ady]

Best not to do things in half-measures.

[missthewoman]

[Hardly a half-measure if one stone and two birds are all there is to it. But still, just semantics.]

Out of curiosity, do you prefer stones or nets?

[11ady]

A tandem. I hardly see why one should be selected over the other when they work so much better together. However, should I be forced to select just one, I'd go with the net. It fits with the pacifist ideal my organization is now supposed to embody.

[missthewoman]

'Supposed to'?

[11ady]

It's demanded by our benefactor. Not exactly a preference.

[missthewoman]

Ah, I see. The golden rule.

[11ady]

In a way. We don't kill anybody and he doesn't kill our funding. Fair enough.

[missthewoman]

[She chuckles lowly again - she was thinking more along the lines of 'those who have the gold make the rules'. But this works as well.]

Fair enough indeed.
Your benefactor seems to have quite strong convictions.
