	Smart, though I think ultimately unnecessary, big picture. It's easier to account for the disappearance of certain signatures or frequencies than account for their arrival. What's the point of a multiversal think tank if we don't take advantage of it? You familiar with the magical stylings of Julia Wicker, Alice Quinn, and their cohort?

So what are we going to focus on first? I'm running searches for those names that popped up at the Paraguay portal, the ones that were infected with space pox, for Ianto, but that won't be taking up all of my time.

I am not. I'm not magical myself, I just know how to manipulate magical items from my world. I'm their keeper, a Librarian, so it's my duty to keep the objects safe and to keep them from falling into abusive hands. I tend to stay away from people with magical abilities, generally, so they don't get tempted to ask about the objects I'm keeping in the Library. I'm willing to work with them, just don't know much about them starting off.

	I suppose this is where I introduce myself. I'm Alice and I'm the only one presently from my world working in an official capacity here at the Bureau, though I'm hoping that won't be the case for long. And to ease your mind, I have no interest in your Library. I'm meeting up with Tony in a half hour. We could sit down and hash out priorities as a group? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You coming with Eliot in tow? Or is it someone else's turn to wave something shiny in front of him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've almost got him broken into the 9 to 5. Hate to skip a day and lose progress. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alice. cutsthewire 2018-09-13 03:38 am UTC (link)
	Impressive. He seemed pretty dead set against it last time I talked to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tony. phosphoromancy 2018-09-13 11:52 am UTC (link)
	He probably still is and yet he hasn't missed a day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alice. cutsthewire 2018-09-13 08:46 pm UTC (link)
	Bring him along and see how he fares. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tony. phosphoromancy 2018-09-13 09:31 pm UTC (link)
	I know he can grasp the work. It's keeping him focused that's important. I'll see you soon. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm willing to show you stuff from it, just gotta make sure you're not a megalomaniac or evil Shakespearean character come to life hiding under a false identity first? Cause that happens a lot more than you'd think. Sounds like a plan. I'll be at the Bureau already, if we're meeting there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I appreciate that you are willing but I'd rather cut any temptation out. Unless something you have eventually seems useful to our work here, and it is discussed because of your suggestion, I intend to stay far away.

Yes. I do a lot of my work outside of the Bureau, because of the limitations on my abilities, but I'll be there shortly. I look forward to meeting you.

	Gotta ask, is temptation a problem for you? Just so I can act accordingly. You too, Alice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	phosphoromancy 2018-09-13 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, but it is something I am aware of and working on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ezekieljones 2018-09-13 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	I gotta work on my self awareness. Not really great at it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	phosphoromancy 2018-09-13 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not so sure I'm good at it either, just in this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ezekieljones 2018-09-14 09:26 pm UTC (link)
	Hey, it's a start, right? I wouldn't beat yourself up. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Are you looking to get someone else hired on? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I have hopes.

natasha/alice

I just hadn't broached the subject yet because of other more important matters.

I was hoping you'd consider Eliot.

	His alcoholism might be a problem. I've seen him drunk more than I've seen him sober on the network. He wouldn't be allowed to drink on the job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a massive problem but it seemed to me that it had increased because he is aimless. He functions better when he has something to focus on. I agree and if he did, I'd make him regret it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Have him come in, and we'll have a chat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is today good? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's no guarantee that tomorrow will be better. Bring him by. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	TBD. I wasn't overly fond of magic-types either until one of them became my partner in crime. After that power swap a few months, I've had an interest in seeking ways science and magic could intersect and complement each other. Alice's magic is actually pretty mathematical.

	I guess let me know when you figure out where you need me first? I'll work with Ianto in the meantime to take some things off his plate so he can sleep occasionally. Thanks for the vouches, Old Stark, but I'm willing to work with them already. Just warning you that I don't really know them and why. (Reply to this) (Parent)
