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.

SUBJECT TITLE: RE: IDIOCY

If it is blatantly obvious enough, as an addendum to my counterparts
post. Sex Island Sherlock, or as it's justifiably easier to refer to him as: 'Sex', likes to centre
his texts for whatever reason. (Which is utterly idiotic in regards to the directional gravity
readers adapt when they process text). It should be used as a tell tale sign as to know whom you're
texting. I know you lot don't process information as quickly as we do, but I can only hope you
infer that much. This Sherlock centres, I align my posts to the left. If you see a disorganized
mass of text, it is most probably our Victorian off shoot.

Get. It. Right.

Put that away.
Those rabbits are disgusting.

omg *dying* [text]

[anomaliiiiies]

I would think a bad experience would call for trying to forget everything related to it, but then again, I'm just a physicist.

The guides are entertaining, though.

[ Hang on, hang on. Wait. The hermit one hasn't been keeping up on his gossip loop. Wichita's been holding out on him. Beyond that, well, between reawakened hobbies and space cancer - there's really not much to say here, though in one word, it's not difficult to figure out who the text might be from. ]

three.

permatext;

[logicals]

No. Do not call me 'Sex'. By that logic, we should be calling you 'Space' and the other Sherlock 'Victorian'. If I lose my name, then so do you.

My text is centred for one simple reason: people find it irritating. I'm so glad it's fulfilling its purpose.

It's information that needs to be relayed, regardless of the content.

They're terrible.

Three.

text; kind of funny considering this journal

[ms_pepperpotts]

[she is a bit pokerfaced right now]

Most of the time the numbers are your only clue anyways, as sometimes people don't introduce themselves.

Ah, and there are three of you now? How interesting. Your Victorian counterpart also looks very familiar to another person on this ship.

permatext; fsfdsga i'm so sorry sob

[logicals]

It's anyway. There is no 's'.

People enjoy anonymity, and who could blame them?

Does he really? Interesting indeed.
SH

[consulting]

Alright. Space is extraordinarily trivial, and I'd rather not have that
appended. It does however not exempt the fact that names do need to be assigned.

It is. Consider: Justify.

/THREADJACK

[consulting]

Obviously.

SH

[logicals]

No collars.

Ah, but then it wouldn't be as annoying, and I find that to be a problem.
SH

[consulting]

Yes, because between being quite literally terrorized with
fear gas and made to follow the whims of red punctuation marks is clearly the shinier alternative.

Ha. Get a typing quirk like one of the trolls. Those are bloody irritating.
Try doubling up your w's and v's.

SH

permatext; don't be, it's beautiful

[ms_pepperpotts]

Do pardon my grammar fail. Anonymity can be a good thing, or a bad thing. We all wonder who :) is. And, yes, it is very interesting, isn't it? That someone can look strikingly similar to someone else and they are from different universes as you've put it?

well if it's a text party

[invalided]

"Seedy virtue".

Never heard it described like that.

[ SHERLOCK HAVE YOU BEEN READING ROMANCE NOVELS. ]

[saidhe]

[ Well, yes, of course. Seeing Sherlock during jumps was one thing. Seeing Sherlock with notable collar marks around his neck was another entirely, and not something he'd felt any particular need to explore in even the slightest, for obvious reasons. An entire other universe's Sherlock, on the other hand, was something else, and a happy sort of realization that clicked in place probably too late but without other substantiated evidence therein, it was a bit understandable. ]

goodness sake, half the ship will share the name before long.

consequentially, i suppose it must have been a colorful leap that you and the doctor must have taken.

[saidhe]

[ MAN SHUT UP SHERLOCK WHO EVEN FUCKIN INVITED YOU ]

ambiguous. it would be more than worrying if you confused him for yourself, mind.

[consulting]

[ UM, THIS IS A SHERLOCK PARTY AND BY WILL OF THE 'SH's appended to all of his messages that means like - He's invited. ]

And that would be the beginnings of what modern society deems
a 'manic episode'. Our differences are clear.

Evidently, I am most curious that is another of "myself" that has turned up and not
another one of you. What do you make of that?

SH

my life is become threadjack sobs

[invalided]

Yes, everyone has been suffering, you both get a gold star. Congratulations.

And if it helps at all, I think you're both very capable of being annoying without fancy text.

[consulting]

Clearly anguish is a commonality between all three sets.

The fancy texts accentuates your irritation but on the subject of being
annoying and RE: Names again. Is Hamish applicable?

[grndnpnd]

[ Tommy is just going to... not click on that link, okay. This is oversharing, third Sherlock. ]

So what about if someone's got your face but isn't any kind of version of you? Your universes explain that?

[saidhe]

[ It actually stands for- Shut your Head. ]

less a foray into mania, more so hallucinatory in nature, or perhaps dementia praecox as suggested by the kraepelin studies.

now, the reasoning could be so simple as my merely not having been upended on an island bred to force intercourse upon its inhabitants, essentially (metaphorically) at gunpoint. though any reasoning will only lead to the same conjecture one might use to explain why it was you ended up here first rather than myself, or, on another vein, why you ended up here first rather than he.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

You might wish to warn against those of weaker constitutions or greater propriety reading that guide.

[invalided]

We're all still alive to talk about life being a haze of misery. Let that count for something.

RE: Hamish. Applicable if necessary. I don't expect you'll have much trouble telling us apart, though. What am I calling you?

[permatext]

[anomaliiiiies]

Knowledge is useful, even if it is unpleasant to know.

So people made drawings to explain what was going on? Can't say the art is very good, but it may have been useful to people in a strange situation.
