[ooc: psst! I'm pretty sure that's actually the "Air and Space Museum"]

American History Museum?

If asked, Nadia wouldn't be able to explain why she was so excited to go to the International Spy Museum.

Well, she would be able to, but she sure as heck wouldn't want to.

She does seem to be just a little too focused and enthusiastic about memorizing the information for her chosen "alias" before entering into the museum proper.

Nadia spent a moment just staring up at the elephant in the center of the atrium, then made a beeline for the gemstone exhibit.

The dinosaurs could wait.

[OOC: Er... Not in this dimension?]

[ooc: thpppppppppt]

Added.

woot!

Blair walked in after Nadia and looked around. "So where are you headed to first?"

Nadia had been repeating the information from the boards in the first room to herself, and was startled to see Blair. "I think there's an introduction video." She pointed to the doors that were just opening as she spoke. "Better pick an alias quickly!"

[ooc: the International Spy Museum is actually a very directed experience . . . you take an elevator up from the lobby/ticket booth, then pick an alias, then go to the video, and then into the exhibit, which starts with spy tools and a chance to try crawling silently through an airduct and testing your spy skills. . . . then you wander through the other exhibits. just FYI]

Blair quickly read through the information and picked a alias. "You seem to be really into this. Have you been here before or something?"

[ooc: Thanks! Now I've looked up their website and am now having way too much fun playing "Whack a Mole"]

Nadia shook her head, still repeating her alias information to herself. "No, I just like spies." She smiled at Blair and leaned in slightly and added sotto voce: "They're everywhere!"

Blair grinned, but looked around a little nervously. "As long as they're good spies. Are there good spies? Being all sneaky to protect the environment or something?"

Nadia thought about it for a moment. "Some of them probably are. . . . But there'd be no point to having good spies if there weren't any bad spies. I think both kinds feed ducks, though. That's a good cover for when you have to meet with other spies."

"Nadia! There's a whole room full of stuffed -- I mean, taxidermied -- animals," Angela called, a little giddy. "It sounds dorky, but they're posed in really cool ways."

Nadia paused, torn. Pretty gemstones!

On the other hand, it'd be much more fun to explore the museum with someone else.

"Which way?"
