If you're to use such a simple code, there's hardly no point encrypting your message in the first place.

[jimwillfixit]

M_DON'T OVERESTIMATE THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE MASSES.

[feel_nevermore]

So, Mister M... What kind of services are you offering exactly?

[jimwillfixit]

M_DIDN'T YOU READ THE CODE? I THOUGHT IT WAS TOO EASY TO DECIPHER.

M_YOU SHOULD AT LEAST KNOW THAT IF YOU WANT TO CATCH ME.

[feel_nevermore]

Well "Criminal consulting" is pretty vague... I never met any villain who needed a consultant to help them plot evil deeds.

Who said I wanted to catch you?

[jimwillfixit]

M_THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT.

M_YOUR TRACK RECORD, MISS RAVEN.

[feel_nevermore]

They're usually to proud to acknowledge that. And too paranoid to trust anyone.

[Raven smirks at that.] So you've been stalking everyone in this place, hmm? Or is it just me?

Besides, this is pure prejudice. ...What if I'm going for a change of profession?

[jimwillfixit]

M_OH, NOT ALL ARE LIKE THAT.

M_I SIMPLY READ WHAT IS PROVIDED.

M_YOUR SUDDEN CHANGE OF HEART IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY, NOT WITH YOUR PRECAUTIONS ALREADY SET UP.

[feel_nevermore]

I don't think you've been here for a long time.

Your records might be biased. [She's been evil during a past event after all.]

What precautions?

[jimwillfixit]

M_MAYBE, MAYBE NOT. I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE.

M_I AM NEVER BIASED. THAT WOULDN'T BE FAIR.

M_OF COURSE YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

[feel_nevermore]

You wouldn't have been able to refrain from "offering your services" for too long. I'd say less than a month.

Most of the important things I say or do happen off camera. So how could you know me as well as you pretend you do?

Maybe, maybe not. I'm a very careful girl at heart.

[jimwillfixit]

M_UNLESS THIS IS A BLUFF. I CAN BE MORE PATIENT THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.

M_I CAN PICK UP MANY THINGS FROM THE SMALLEST OF DETAILS.

[feel_nevermore]

[She just smirks at that. Feel free to underestimate her.]

That strangely reminds me of someone else in town. Someone who's a consultant as well, although he doesn't bother hiding his identy or using codes.

[jimwillfixit]

M_I AM AWARE OF SHERLOCK HOLMES.

[feel_nevermore]

You would. Since you're both from the same world.

Is it some sort of game between you two?

[jimwillfixit]

M_AND WHAT MAKES YOU THINK OF THAT?
