1. You look just as pretty out of costume as in it.
2. This one's tricky. If you ever visit my world, I dare you to wear jeans for it. I have a feeling, sooner or later, against my better judgement, you will.
3. Jade green.
4. It's good to see an ally again. There's not much of the old guard left.
5. Seeing you across the question area looking twenty-something.
6. Leopard, I think.
7. What if you had found service as one of my agents before you found service under the government?
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on yours. The self-perpetuating nature of these things is insidious.
1. Thank you. I'm rarely seen out of costume at this point anymore, I appreciate that.
2. This sounds like it might almost be fun. While we seem to both be in agreement about visiting your world, I might do it in the Nexus, just for curiousity's sake.
3. My mother was big nto jade. I admit, it runs a close race to red.
4. I'm sorrry to hear that not many of 'us' are left.
7. That, is a very good question. While I didn't really solidify the persona of Ming before I joined the Bureau, she was in the works to at least help me 'fit in' to Chinatown better. If you'd offered me an opportunity to be your agent, I most likely would have accepted, but I honestly would have been a bit wary for a while.
True, I've been "Myra" almost as much as "Ming" since I've been to the Nexus.
You're telling me this isn't a kind or easy job? By the way, is Vincent still around? He seemed the kind (at least back home) that as much trouble as he got himself into, that he would make it to being an old man just by sheer perseverance.
Well, if some terrifyingly powerful vigilant approached me and asked me to become his agent in the fight against crime, as much as I'd be happy to help such a cause, there's going to be some trust that needs to form between myself and them, and I'd need to see real results that I'm not just being used. Call me jaded, but I've seen good people stuck in situations like that too many times since I was younger, to outright trust anyone who offers me what I want.
I'm sorry for that, although I get the impression that, like me, you identify more with your working persona than what you were born to.
Vincent is still around, but he doesn't do much work for me anymore. He still comes in very handy for his people skills. I'll never be the charmer he is, no matter how good an actor I am.
But would you have had that kind of perspective at the time? I don't usually just walk up to people and ask, because I don't go looking for agents that way. There's a give and take. Often I find them by saving their lives, although Farrow supplied me with several good agents, over the years. They trusted me because he did.
Glad to hear Vincent is still there, and still the charmer. It's interesting just how people naturally gravitate to him. He's just one of those people, I guess. One of those qualities that no matter how well you can act, if it isn't there, it's never there. I know a couple Bureau friends like that, I can never figure out how they do it.
That's quite the question. I don't really know. I wasn't very trusting of strangers, but if you'd saved my life, it would probably have been because I'd ended up in a bad situation. Owing someone my life, while I feel compelled to pay them back somehow, I don't feel it's my life-obligation to lay everything I have before them as long as I live. I imagine though, your methods and skill would have been more than enough to get me to stay working for you.
Interesting and useful, and he wouldn't be himself without it. I'm not a people person, although I can fake it well enough. I've told him of the Nexus, but I haven't told him of you.
Oh, he knows about it? It's probably best, I don't know how he'd react to hearing about a younger me. Back home I've saved his skin a couple times, and never had a chance to really do anything beside work with him, which might have been for the better.
Only because I'd thought of Green doing some work for him, but I got distracted by recent events, so that hasn't come about yet. I certainly won't tell him if you don't want me to. I've given him an absolute minimum of information.
Really? Hopefully you get the chance sooner than later to ask Metody about it. After what he's done for you, I can only imagine how he might be able to help Vincent.
While he has good judgement, and far more experience than the Vincent I know, I just don't know how he'd handle knowing there was a younger him someplace. The temptation to warn himself of something and affect my world might be enticing to him, I wouldn't know.

3. I thought of red, but green reminds me more of you.
4. It happens. This isn't a kind or easy job.
5. Don't let the reading glasses fool you, my eyesight's just fine for everything else.
7. Wary of me? I've found it helpful that you have the Bureau connections, but the Nexus makes me wonder about what if's.

It's an interesting what if.

I don't know either. It's probably for the best to keep him in the dark.
