I've been here long enough to know that alternate and parallel universes exist. I can say with confidence that this ship holds multiple versions of the same person; for instance, there are three Sherlock Holmeses and three John Watsons. Naturally, each correspond with their own Sherlocks and/or their own John. As the months go on, it will be increasingly difficult to tell between myself and others, which is why it's handy to have our communicators. With each message, your unique number shows up underneath the initial post: this is a good way to ensure that you're talking to the 'corrrect' Sherlock (though know that we share our devices when the whim strikes us).

In short, stop being stupid.

Now, onto my initial reason for addressing the network: I have experienced several different memories that differ from my dopplegangers. Because of this, we can assume that there are subtle differences in behaviour, reactions and interests. Whilst we remain the same in many ways, those differences might end up defining us (which is frankly appalling, but then who am I to judge a 'thriving' civilisation of six months?). I am the third Sherlock Holmes to arrive, though my likeness is shared with only one. An intriguing phenomenon, but our memories are reasonably inconsistent.

I've decided to tell you about my stay on the island of Atia, though I intend to make it quick. I have in my posession the communicators we used to talk to one another. Whilst the connection to the network has been severed, a few things still remain, such as the guides thrown out to every new comer in order to save both time and effort. You may have gathered that this island is of a seedy virtue, and your impressions are entirely correct: we were forced into collars like animals, prodded and poked into actions one might not normally take were they under their usual inhibitions. As the strange little rabbit wearing a dress says, it was not a holiday.

And yes, I'm aware that both guides are incredibly hideous.

P.S: A certain prosecutor has insisted that I put up a warning for those that are of a certain age and/or for those that have a weak stomach. Personally, I think 'don't be stupid' covered every base, but apparently one can't be too sure.

There are plenty of reasons not to shower
Acknowledging those reasons are why I don't continuously shun
Holmes with a can of lysol.

SH

[unparental]

You can't shun the guy growing your-- cultural understanding.

[ also weed IS SHE SUPPOSED TO MENTION THAT the watsons might yell. ]

[consulting]

Just say weed. We've all accepted
that you're terrible influence, Jenna.

SH

[unparental]

Hey. I'm-- no. Okay. In the traditional sense, fine. But if you get me in trouble with any of the Watsons, I'm never letting you experiment with vampire healing. Just saying.

[consulting]

So I can still flog you with a riding crop?

SH

[unparental]

I never said that.

[consulting]

What did I do to you to deserve this treatment
Jenna? I have simple needs.

SH

[unparental]

Save it for the kinky Irene, buddy. If I was going to let anyone do that-- which I'm not-- it would be Ric.

[consulting]

But I need to calculate how quickly you regenerate.

SH

[unparental]

Still not letting you hit me with a riding crop.

[logicals]

How about me? :)
SH

[unparental]

...That's it, non-bathing Sherlock is Thing One.

[logicals]

No. The entire reason we need a nickname is because Thing Two and I look identical.
SH

[unparental]

He doesn't ask me to play Kinky Sex Dungeon, he wins.

[logicals]

No one is asking you to do that. I think you have the wrong idea.
SH

[unparental]

--Okay, so. Jokes: not either of your fortes.

[logicals]

We're essentially the same person.
SH

[unparental]

Eh, maybe.

[consulting]

But you'll regenerate. I don't see any
plausible reason why you'd have a problem with it.

SH

[unparental]

Because I'm not into pain and you literally haven't given me any incentive to suffer through it?

[consulting]

Science, Jenna. Science is enough incentive.

SH

[unparental]

Not for me, sorry. I nearly flunked bio.

[consulting]

Don't you feel the need how your body functions?

SH

[unparental]

I know how my body functions, thank you very much.

[consulting]

Not scientifically. There is a difference.
