That was interesting, to say the least.  The part where my body wasn't really my own was pretty disconcerting at first, but other than that... 
 
I wouldn't go so far as to call it 'fun', but it was a change of pace.  Funny how the ordinary can be so unexpected here.  Throw us into the middle of a warzone, set a dragon loose, hit us with an invasion, and I don't think a lot of people here would bat an eyelash.  Put us in suburbia and tell us to blend in, go to work, pay the bills, and suddenly we don't know what to do. 
 
By the way, Capa, I couldn't have asked for a better husband. [YES, ARTHUR CAN TEASE PEOPLE SOMETIMES.] And I'm sorry for subjecting you guys to family dinners. 
 
[Pause.  Moving on.]
 
In other news, in case you were wondering: Dionysus isn't on the Barge anymore.
 
[Private to Eames]
I don't know how you do it.  Forging, slipping into someone else's skin. I have to admit, I've got a newfound appreciation for what you do.
 
[OOC: I KNOW I OWE BACKDATED PORT TAGS.  The muse just sorta got away from me for a bit. I've had a case of writers' block something fierce.]

Tyr and Jim Profit. And extraction's the only thing that fits his criteria. He wants somebody to pull this information without the use of telepathy, torture or [He waves a hand and tajes a drink.] 'magic.' [SCOFF.] And he said that Jim won't give it up willingly. As for pay... [He leans back in his seat and shrugs a little.] Hasn't come up yet. Didn't seem necessary to negotiate it when I wouldn't tell him what I was even considering. I need to know you're on board before I can come back to him with a proposal. [He taps his fingers on the glass, thinking.] Money's useless here. So, what would you want for a job like this?

[Eames just listens through the thing, taking mental notes. He's noticed Tyr on the network, but not Jim Profit. It's a man he's going to need to get to know.] "Do we know anything about him? Friends or associates? Should I be tailing him for a bit first or only working within the dream? It's relevant to pay, of course, but I can't give a number when there's no money. Twenty pounds means nothing to these people."

[Of course, he meant twenty thousand pounds, a basic figure, but he assume the clarification was unnecessary.] "I need more forgery materials. Wouldn't mind an owed favor, I guess, if the warden's worth anything."

He comes across as completely normal, under the radar mostly. [Which, of course, means there's a lot more than meets the eye. Profit's an inmate, after all.] The only associates I was able to pick up on were Nygma-- [He pauses to give Eames a look. WHY DOES EVERYTHING COME BACK TO THIS CREEP?] Dr. Lewis and Armand St. Just. I don't know how close any of them are. There seems to be... something going on between him and Dr. Lewis, but it's difficult to pin down. [And the thought makes Arthur totally uncomfortable.] I don't think we'll need any forging for this; it's just a simple extraction. But any information you can get would be a help, since his warden probably doesn't have much to offer.

[He thinks, taking another drink.] What, specifically, would these materials be? And as for the warden himself, he's a weapons guy. Muscle.

"A bit of bump and chat then?" [Eames asks casually, trying to decide on which method he should be using to get to know the inmate prior to extraction. If he should be getting to know the inmate at all; seeing a person outside of the dream always made seeing them inside a little riskier.] "Or a long-distance watch?"

[To the latter, he gave a knowing smile.] "Can't do anything with a man like that. I'd have to check on the specific materials.. likely acetone. A laminating machine as well."
