Heroes and thieves at my door. I can’t seem to tell them apart anymore.

On 1854 W North Ave, a street address mentioned in a very specific journal entry there is a small bookstore. Fairly innocuous, really, and more than a little worthy of being completely overlooked, but if you happen to be a wanderer, intrigued by the words in the journal entry, it might be worth poking around inside

Since the only thing she had in her pockets was her cigarette holder (thank god), lighter, and scarf, E's been taking her new journal around and using it as a combination date book and sketch pad. And oh look, something else to add to her "to do" list!

Excellent.

The walk to the bookstore isn't far, and E wastes no time in shoving the door open and marching up to the counter. Yes, she's wearing a dress meant for an old lady, but there's something to be said for an air of authority.

Bambi's at the counter a moment later, just having finished the finishing touches on someone's faux birth certificate. By this time, she's looking a bit harried and her wings are out for an added boost of... Something. We're not sure what. They're pulled in tight to her back, but, well, wings are hard to hide when they're out like that.

"Can I help you?" She asks, perfectly casual. Hey, an air of authority doesn't even work when it comes to her bosses.

The counter is about shoulder-height on Edna, so at least she'll be spared the indignity of standing on tip-toe

Bambi is rather impressed by all that. She takes a drag on the cigarette she lit up while waiting for Edna to get all that done and nods. "Anything you want, jellybean. I got you covered. Bit more ambitious than I'm used to, but I can't begrudge someone wanting to get their life back exactly the way it was before."

That's what she's here for, after all... Well, within reason. She's had some creeps come in here before, but she knows how to deal with those people.

"It'll take about a week. Possibly two since we're talkin' detailed shit and I've got orders coming out my ass, but it'll be done. Whole shebang."

Edna nods, satisfied.

"That's perfectly fine, Darling. I'm still compiling my portofolio anyway." And almost forty years worth of designs is a LOT of ground to make up, even if you are only recreating your greatest hits. "By all means, be thorough and take your time."

Bambi salutes a little and it's hard to tell whether it's mock or she totally means it as a serious gesture of how well she'll do with it. Then again, she's an Angel of Knowledge and they don't half-ass anything.

"I'll contact you through the journals when everything's ready," she adds, before she starts to head back down to into the basement with the new information.
