[A weekend of lost memories - it sat poorly with her, especially when she went back over her notes and found them missing as well. The dates for the weekend were written in her hand, but anything she'd written had been erased. Or maybe she hadn't written anything. The most concerning thing was that now that the weekend had ended, several people had gone missing or returned. Two days was a long time to lose her bearings and it made her restless. Which was why she'd gone to the shop to look around for anything useful.

Last thing she expected was to find the glove and eyeglass set - something so useful just left here like it was a new toy to be experimented with by anyone in the village. Something about it drew her to using it, but after the first day and the headaches, she realized it was probably something that belonged to someone. Which is why a few days later, after the headaches settle, she asks the village.]

Agent Carter reporting in with a few questions for the village.

One: Has anyone lost a pair of these? [She holds up the sunglasses, labeled ARI on the side to the camera.] I located them in the shop - interesting technology you have. I'd like to return them, if you're inclined to receive them.

[It packs one hell of a punch anyway, and she does not want that anymore. Peggy rubs her temple as he sets the glasses down out of view.]

Two: Sparring partners - hand to hand combat, preferably advanced non-magic practitioners. Willing to train people new to it, but more looking for practice myself. Can also train or spar in weapons - guns or knives specifically.

Three: On a more personal note, to my roommates - if you don't start cleaning your areas and picking up your things, I will do it for you.

[She looks straight into the camera with her usual no-nonsense look in her eyes.]

You will not enjoy it if I am forced to do so.

That is all.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[He keeps an eye on the journal infrequently. This, however, draws Jayden's attention immediately. Because he knows those glasses. Anything before or after that? He doesn't take notice of.

Just those glasses.]

Those are mine.

[A little too sharp. A little too quick. He tries to correct his tone, soften it a bit.]

...Was there anything else with them? A case, maybe?

I see. And yes, it came with a case and something else - mind telling me what it could be?

I wouldn't want technology of this scale to go to the wrong hands. Call it a verification process.

Should be a black glove, different feel to the fingers than the rest. In the case, there should also be a small vial, blue powder inside. Or room for one, at least.

[He's really, really hoping the emergency supply of triptocaine is in there. But there's no way to be sure.]

Bottom of the case should have a number, too. Etched in. 47023.

[She shuts off the video feed for a moment as she checks his story. And indeed it is as he described, down to the number etched on the bottom of the case. So it is his. Now the question is: what the bloody hell is it?

She comes back and flicks the feed on.]

And your name?

Agent Norman Jayden, with the FBI.

[It's in his best interests right now to be honest. It's the fastest way he's going to get ARI back, probably. And... this woman has all the cards if she has that in hand.]

FBI... I see. Agent Carter with the SSR. I'd show you identification, but we the sort not to carry it. Might you have yours?

...Unfortunately, I don't. My ID hasn't shown up yet.

I didn't think it would - it's rare that such things do.

Agent Jayden, where shall I drop off your equipment? I have a few questions for you about it as well.

I'd be happy to meet you somewhere for a drink or quick bite to eat, ma'am.

I work at the bar - be easy to meet there, if that is your preference.

Of course. I can be there whenever you'd like. What's a good time?

I have a sparring match in 30 minutes. Should last an hour, maybe hour and a half. Perhaps after that?

Two hours, then?

Two hours. I'll meet you at the bar with your case, Agent. Until then, it will be safe in my possession, you needn't worry about that.

Thank you. I look forward to it.

I'll contact you before I head over, just in case anything unforeseen happens.

Of course. Thank you very much.

[Later, after her fight with Ginia, Peggy calls up Jayden again as promised. Her picture, captured along with her comment, shows her with a few bruises under her make-up.]

Still up for the exchange?

[...Well, the woman had been looking for sparring partners, so he lets himself ignore the bruises. For now.]

Yes, please.

Meet me at the pub in ten minutes.

[Because that's where she'll be, seated at a table with the case and an ice pack to put on the worst of the bruises.]

[It doesn't take him long to get there or to find her, and he approaches, offering his hand.]

Ma'am? Agent Jayden.

[She stands when he approaches, taking his hand in a brisk and businesslike handshake.]

Agent Carter. [She motions to the seat across from her and sits.] Please have a seat. I have a few questions for you.

Of course.

[And he does sit, eyes doing a quick check for the ARI case because, well. It's important. And those questions? He has a feeling he's not going to like them.]

[She notices his eyes flit to the case and she picks it up off the ground and puts it on the table.]

So explain to me, what exactly is this and why should I return it to you after it made me feel like my mind had just been put through a blender, hm?

It's ARI.

Added Reality Interface. Where I'm from, it's an added investigative tool. It allows me to compare evidence present to other pieces collected in databases around the world.

[He doesn't like saying it, but if it gets him the glasses back, he will.]
