[The video opens up with a longer-haired Lisbeth, her red-head roots showing because what does a woman have to do around here for some black hair dye? She seems distracted as she clicks around on her computer to the side. Soon, she's biting the cuticle of her thumb.]

If you could take on a project that has the potential to lead to some kind of public attention - attention on you - would you do it?

Absolutely not.

[Said with a smirk.

Remember that time he thought conducting a survey was a good idea?

But there's a more pressing matter at hand right now. A really important question. Something Saul is dying to know, and it's:] Are you a ginger?

[hejhej]

[goddamnit, saul--]

Yes.

video;

[notadamnvampire]

[Al answers confidently.] Yes, most likely. But what sort of attention are we talking about here? Positive or negative?

video;

[hejhej]

Definitely positive. Possibly some negative.

video;

[allucinator]

Depends what we're talkin' about. Attention from who? And are you ready to deal with that kinda attention?

[He glances away for a moment, thinking, before adding:]

There's people you don't wanna . . . you don't want interested in you, no matter where you are, who you are, how strong you are, whatever. And then there's some people where you oughta get them noticin' you. So I guess it all depends.

The project will keep me busy for a long time and it might be a long time before it's done. It'll change Exsilium and with that comes all kinds of attention. I don't like attention, but I want to do this project.

[lazyinlove]

personally no but if you want to why not?

[hejhej]

because I don't want everyone to know my name.

[video]

[legal_eagle]

I dunno, has my personality been suddenly switched so that I'm a coward?

[video]

[hejhej]

[HEY.]

Not wanting attention from the public and fear of attention from the public are two different things.

[heroxide]

Is it good attention or bad attention?

video;

[hejhej]

Both.

[molecules]

Depends.

[ and is this a question piper does not want to deal with. being exposed as a witch and subsequently shot for reasons she isn't even certain of, not even with months of hindsight in her pocket, is one memory piper knows she will never, ever forget. considering what it cost her, she'll wear it around like a second skin for the rest of her life. ]

Did that before and it ended with me almost dead.

[hejhej]

[Oh. That's rough.]

I'm pretty sure my security won't be compromised.

[In my less than humble opinion, if we're talking fame in having your face known it's not worth it.]

[hejhej]

even if it means working on something you love?

[cesar]

[ She's a very interesting-looking lady, to him. It has never hurt him to give the stranger ones a chance. ]

Is it a face you require?

video;

[hejhej]

You mean a new one?

Maybe.

[If she's going off what both Jack and Sofiya have suggested, of course.]

video.

[paracosmic]

If I thought it was worth it, yes.

[but, there are always consequences...]

What kind of attention would it be? Positive or negative?

video.

[hejhej]

Both kinds of attention, though I don't really see any negative coming through.

[Unless one took into account the United Earth...]

But taking this into consideration for someone who really doesn't like attention.

video.

[lucency]

It would depend more on the project than the attention. What benefits it would have. How it would affect - everything, really.

[ a slight smile, pleasant enough, and a shrug. ]

There're more important factors than how much attention would be thrown my way. Or - yours, in this case.

video.

[hejhej]

The project would be revolutionary if successful.

text

[argentite]

It depends on the reasons behind the project.

text

[hejhej]

Partly because I'm bored and partly because I'm sure plenty of people would be happy to have this.. thing around. It would remind them of home.]

[ video; ]

[onemistress]

It would depend on the attention, but aye, I could do such things.

[ What was a Queen for? Not some polite figure head, to say the least. The focus of every intent, whether for good or for ill, it made little matter in the end. ]

[ video; ]

[hejhej]

[Lisbeth seems a little impressed.]

With just... no hesitation? You'd do it?

[justgo]

Exactly what do you got in mind? [Pause.] Depends on the situation, for me.

[hejhej]

It's not a dangerous project. I won't be dealing with anything that could blow up.

[Hopefully.]

Just computer stuff. I'm sure an official statement will be released about it.

Separate identities could be useful, but they can get tricky, too - moreso the longer you have them. [Yeah, she is utterly shameless about reading your conversations.]

If you'd rather be a silent partner, so to speak, we could probably arrange that. [A dry smile.] Somehow I doubt Tony would mind the limelight.

Private | Video

[hejhej]

[Oh, she's done it once, but not long enough to get into some trouble.]

The silent partner idea would be nice. I'm just worried about the United Earth now. Security against them would be a twenty-four-seven job and who knows how dangerous they'd see this type of thing.

Call me paranoid, but we've gotta cover all our bases here. I'm more worried about them coming after people Lisbeth Salander knows.

Irene Nesser doesn't have any ties in Exsilium, though.
