This lets out in both the Middle City Slums and the Heart of the City. The passage is lit by dim lamps, and the entrances are well disguised. One has to try to find it, so all civilians who find it end up as spies for or against the Council.

Roleplay!

Viktoria walked in through the secret entrance after her rather disastrous encounter with John. Just another person who thought she was insane. She was still utterly convinced she was in the right; after all, despite the fact John had tried to help her, he had tried to force her into seeing medics, something that she feared more than really anything else.

Randy mopped the floor, whistling. He was oblivious that anyone was there and started to sing.

Viktoria didn't realize that anyone else was there until she slipped on the newly mopped floor and fell. She shrieked, and the sound echoed. She blinked a couple times. "What?"

Randy jumped and looked over at Viktoria. "Oh. Here let me help." He reached out his hand to help her up.

Viktoria frowned but accepted the hand. "Where'd you come from?" she mumbled, probably too quietly for Randy to understand what she had said. She then saw the mop in his hand. She looked down at the still-wet floor.

"I'm the janitor if you haven't noticed and I clean wherever is needed." Randy said. Then he added, "Plus it's nice here."

Viktoria nodded. "Alright. Do you have one of those 'caution: worms may chase you' signs?" She did, of course, mean the "caution: floors may be slippery when wet" signs, but she did not quite realize that. For all her skill as a cryptographer, common sense really was not her strong point.

"Nah, but I have plenty 'caution wet floor signs.''" Randy grabbed one and put it on the floor. "Happy?"

Viktoria frowned. In her confusion, she stuck out her lower lip and stroked her chin. "But that's a 'caution: worms may chase you' sign." She was being serious despite the more childish tone her voice had adopted.

Randy furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. He looked over, and sure enough, it said, 'caution wet floors'. He shook his head as if dismissing the question.

Viktoria watched Randy look down at the sign. Even she was able to see that he was confused. "The sign lies," she said as a way of explanation. She crossed her arms. It wasn't that she was actually insane . . . just very strange. The very strange probably ought to have been bolded and in all caps, all things considered.

Ricky rolled his eyes and kept mopping. "You're the coding person, right?" he asked, suddenly piecing this together.

"Ctryptographer," she corrected in an almost absent manner. Her eyes followed the motion of the mop much as a cat would a string or feather toy. After a moment passed, she put her foot down on the part of the mop that touched the floor and stopped it from moving. She looked up at Randy with a self-satisfied grin.

Randy shrugged and smiled at Viktoria. He quickly tugged at the mop.

Viktoria let the mop go only to step on it again a second later. Almost girlishly, she giggled and pressed her hand to her mouth. "Meow," she whispered. "Meow. Meow." She took her foot off the mop and looked up at Randy. Despite the fact she was decently tall for a woman (5'7"), she still had to crane her neck to see Randy's face.

Randy chuckled and decided to play the game. He started to swing his mop around in fast circles and looked expectantly at Viktoria.

Viktoria looked at him with a delicately arched eyebrow and shook her head slowly. "Preferably no." She snatched the broom out of his hands. She then proceeded to strike it quickly against the floor four times, paused, and then tapped it two more.

Ricky watcher her in confusion. Are all coding people like this? he wondered. Surely not, it- Oh right, they're Cryptographers. He reached for his mop, unsure as how Viktoria would act.

Viktoria was sure to keep it just out of his reach. she had tapped "hi" in a code, and she determined that Randy did not know the code. She quirked a brow at him before saying, "Ihay?" She watched him for a moment longer, her gaze almost feline in its intensity and mischief. "01101000011010010000110100001010"

((So so sorry))

"Coding people make no sense." Randy muttered to himself. Was the Ihay pig lattin? he thought to himself. Then after a moment he decided he would respond to the pig-lattin, although he had no idea what the 0's and 1's meant. "Ihay. Owhay areway ouyay odaytay?"

((hope that's pig-latin for 'How are you today?' I'm not 100% sure on how to do it so I looked it up.))

.

((Yeah, I've written the post actually. I'm trying to catch up and do some character creations before posting all my RPs))

((Oh ok))

((Sorry for the inconvenience))

((It's fine. I think that is one of the ways, yes))

"Hi," Viktoria giggled. That was what she had said in Binary and in Pig Latin. "B tf ukbeebtgm." She was using a type of cypher, and what she said meant "I am brilliant." She giggled and looked up at Randy. She looked like a smug cat in her own strange way.

"I don't get that." he said. "I'm not that good at Pig Latin, so ya."

Viktoria chuckled and shook her head at him. "Shame on you," she said, giving him the finger of shame. "That was no Pig Latin. It's called a Caesar cipher." She still did not tell him what she had said in said cipher. No, that would be too normal for her.

"I feel so awful that I've been beaten by a... Ctryptographer." Randy said sarcastically. "I feel so ashamed, actually."

Viktoria mock bowed and rolled her eyes. With a matching amount of sarcasm, she said, "I am so proud to have beaten the janitor in my own field. I'm astonished, even!"

"I so wish I would have won that." Randy continued sarcastically.

"I'm sure, but I'm so glad you haven't." This time as she spoke, her voice contained significantly less sarcasm. She smirked and walked so that she was closer to her destination.

"Where're you going?" Randy asked. He started mopping again.

"Back to work. Why would I want to go anywhere else?" She loved her work. Actually, the amount she loved it was probably unhealthy. She raised her eyebrows at him. She honestly did not understand why he was asking when she thought the answer was an obvious one.

"I don't know... I was just wondering, so um yeah." Randy answered. Who would want to go only to work? he thought.
