[He considered making this a voice or a text entry on the network for the sake of avoiding... well, people - but ultimately that would raise more questions with those who know him. Civilian clothes, calm demeanor, utterly meaningless political smile.]

I hope you're all faring all right with the changes in our environment and the requirements that puts on its population. I'm used to rationing, but I understand that it's probably and adjustment for those of you that are not.

Peggy and I had an idea about that - we wanted to see if there was any interest in a communal pot luck, periodic until things normalize.

Additionally, we wanted to see what people thought of a resource pool of food and nonperishables held in the... should I just call it a community center? That's how we'd like the space to serve during peacetime.

Um. [A small laugh.] Sorry, I lost my train of thought. As I was saying, we'd like to work on what amounts to a food bank for the duration of the rationing and possibly longer, if it proves useful and necessary. Donations are of course encouraged, particularly from those whose enterprises are not as effected by the restrictions currently in place.

[The empty warmth briefly dissipates, leaving Steve militant all out of proportion to what he says next.] To pre-empt those who think it's naive, ill-advised, et cetera, we would be monitoring the intake and distribution of goods to ensure that no single party exploits the generosity of contributors. I think as a charitable model it's a good one.

[He clears his throat and settles back in his chair.]

I'm not much good with plants, but if we could get space on the roof of the building, it might do some good to have a garden up there as well.

Sir. I would like to discuss, in person and at your earliest convenience, a potential threat to the safety of the Foreigner population. And also inquire after the well-being of Miss Namorita Prentiss, who you have in custody.


[ACTION FOR PEGGY]

[Done. He switches off the console and tilts his head back, inspecting the ceiling of the apartment with one of those vague and pointless realizations regarding how few people ever look up.

He scrubs his face with both hands and gets up, going to the kitchen to wet a cloth and press it against his face, then neck, mentally reciting passages from the books he'd read before Keeliai and snatches of songs to try and keep his thoughts from going back to the lab Natasha described and its contents. It doesn't work especially well.]

I'd be more than happy to. Nothing more I hate than being useless when there's a crisis in the offing. Well—hopefully this won't reach the point of crisis, but you know what I mean.

[She smiles, and it might seem for a moment that there's something older and more inscrutable about her than initially appears.]

Thereby hangs a tale.

[She switches over to private; not that she's really gone to any length at all to maintain secrecy before, but no point in distracting anyone else who might be noticing.]

I got here by way of Paris in the 1930s, but possibly not the Paris or the 1930s with which you're familiar. I'm a traveller, specialising in Time and myriad variations thereof.

A little bit of technology, a little inherent talent, and a little of something that might, for lack of a better word, be called magic. [A self-deprecating chuckle.] I'm sorry to be so vague; it's honestly not quite as simple as stepping into a box and pushing a few buttons. Even those of us who do it aren't always completely sure we understand how it works.

Nevertheless, I've been doing it for a while and I usually end up where I mean to go, and I do so whilst remaining in one piece, so I must be doing something right.

[A little smile, and not exactly a happy one.]

Only if you're all right with the possibility of them getting a bit loose in time. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I don't generally recommend it.
