[Open Broadcast: Liminal Space, Post-Ace of Spades]
[It's taken him a while to work up to doing this. Years of training and self-censorship have made the very idea of admitting who and what he is to someone who doesn't already know absolutely intolerable. At best this thing he intends to do is treason. At worst it could get someone killed. Not here, back home, but as he is here... his failing to intervene could also get someone killed.]
It became obvious to me over the course of our most recent... outing that most of you have no experience with the sort of work we've been volunteered to do. I don't think it's too forward to say that we could all benefit from better coordination and a bit of training.
[In the few seconds of hesitation that follow, it isn't hard to imagine the twist of deep, painful guilt that roils in his gut. The tone of his mental voice is so carefully distant, so close to wearied that the implications are there for those willing to look.]
I have some experience with... professional travelling. If anyone would like some advice on how to blend in and communicate with one another a bit less obviously in a... in a foreign setting...
[Another silence, and if he were speaking aloud, the silence might be filled by an uncomfortable, resigned sigh.]
...don't hesitate to ask.
((ooc: Peter here is offering to coach people in the art of espionage. I'll try to have a writeup on the subject up and available as soon as possible for anyone who expresses interest.))

no subject
I'd be willing to listen to anything you have to say, sir. I think I might need a lot of help with this sort of thing.. [ She feels a little bad about asking for it, but then again, he did offer, so maybe he won't mind? ]
no subject
[He sounds marginally uncomfortable, as though unused to reassuring people about this sort of thing, as though he's used to directing or berating them instead. Which, of course, he is. His men come to him pre-trained and he asks the best of them. This is... new.]
You were with us last time, weren't you? What did you notice about the way people, the... natives, I suppose, looked at you?
no subject
[ Not that she blames them, her usual clothing doesn't really fit in with 1930s Brooklyn, after all. Even Chizuru herself could tell that from seeing how the people there were dressed. ]
But I think the bigger problem was that I sometimes just didn't know how to answer to their questions. There were a lot of things I didn't know about the time. I think I must've looked pretty strange asking someone about.. um, I think they were called hotdogs, right..?
