Blair looked around at some of the exhibits, oblivious to Nadia's sore throat.

Nadia's enthusiasm for the museum had somewhat dwindled. . . . at least until she reached the door marked "the gates of hell" in the midst of the history of spies section.

"Wow." She peered through the door, watching the images of Soviets and Nazis march by on the walls. "That's . . . really, really creepy."

Blair shuddered. "Creepy with a capital C."

Nadia watched the images with a look of fascinated horror for a moment before she shook herself. "Let's keep going." She headed out of the room and into the WWII propaganda section of the tour.

That was much more cheerful.

[ooc: and alas, we're reaching the end of my knowledge of the Spy Museum, since it closed when we were at the Enigma machine exhibit right after the propaganda one.]

Blair grinned. "Loose lips sink ship is my favorite! I just like saying it."

Nadia smiled, and found the small replication movie theater, where old propaganda films and news reels were playing.

She watched about thirty seconds of Donald Duck learning to be a good American citizen and grimaced.

"They weren't very subtle, were they."

Blair shoook his head. "Not so much."

He laughed as his stomach growled. "Let's go see where everyone is eating lunch, okay?"

Nadia nodded. "Sounds good to me."

[ooc: have fun!]
