Sherlock Holmes, as you all know, is dead. The investigation so far confirms that it wasn't suicide, and that a significant struggle had happened. There's data that suggests the scarf was used as a device for strangulation; it would not have been pleasant on his part. You may want to think of his passing as something serene and easy, but to drown is to suffer a sententious amount of strain and desperation.

The case is on going, however, and any and all updates of information will be kept on my spare communicator.

Mourn all you like, Tranquility, but don't make the mistake of confusing me with the man lying dead poolside up. I may share the same face, the same name and the same mannerisms as him, but the difference should be obvious, especially after certain events have transpired. I am not the man you have lost, I am but a duplicate. It shouldn't have to be said, but some people have taken to treating me as though I am the man in question. I am not.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. I'll do my best to answer any and all, provided they're worth the response.

[You're a charmer, aren't you?

Jane debates inviting him to put an age filter on this, but she's sure someone else will do it, as well as comment on what a fucked up thing it is to say that about someone people obviously cared about, so she doesn't. She's not in the mood to get in a fight with an arrogant dick. She just has a few questions:]

I'm new and not a detective, so approach me like I don't know anything, because that's exactly what I know.

1. Is this possibly connected to the disappearing people in any way?
2. Is it likely the killer will go after anybody else?
3. Any tips for people who don't want to get murdered or vanish?

_{[ This charmer is fed up with dealing with people that call him something he isn't, and - well, he might be a little blunt, but that's how he rolls. ]}

Most people don't know anything, so you're not alone.

1. Yes, it's a possibility.
2. Doubtful.
3. Don't be stupid and use your common sense.

[God only knows Jane herself has said some appalling shit when she was upset.]

I figured. Will you be doing updates on the case as it goes?

And I hope this isn't out of line, but people treating you like a dead man is very, very Poe Gothic eerie.

It's fun, isn't it. People assuming that just because you are a version of someone else, that you might be the same.

Sucks about the other you, though.

text ; encyption 85%

[logicals]

You have the same face, and thus you must be completely and utterly the same.

Mm.

Obviously.

Had to find different ways to assert that I wasn't the 'other' me.

He's gone now, though, too.

There are worse ways to go.

What were the differences between your two selves? And is it abnormal in your experience to encounter other versions of yourself?

When I first arrived, I had lived through more of our personal 'timeline', not to mention that I had and still have memories of an island that enforced a change in certain behaviours and relationships.

We were different enough.

[This entire clone business doesn't bode well to Heine. He's already had bad experiences with them and already has the knowledge that there was a pair of clones on board. There is no sympathy from him on the matter and he could care less - he's just concerned about the fact that there are fucking murders on board that could hurt certain people that he looks out for.]

In my experiences clones are the same to the core.

[logicals]

Perhaps, but I had different experiences from the one lying dead, despite the memories that we once shared.

don't doppelgangers try and kill their double in order to take over their lives?

[ he's just saying. ]

[logicals]

Why would either of us need to kill one another, when we already live our own lives?

[ There's a lot she could say and ask, but honestly she doesn't think she can ask things in a voice that doesn't shake. Even typing her response feels like someone is squeezing her heart. ]

:33 < i dont really have any good questions at the moment though i do have two small requests
:33 < the furst being... please dont let this case disappear
:33 < if the killer is still aboard id like there to be justice

[ though killing isn't exactly new to her (and is actually socially acceptable to her culture), she still likes to think that humans treat life a little less carelessly ]

:33 < my second is if you do find the killer and you n33d help containing him
:33 < id like to help

:33 < and though these arent exactly the best circumstance to m33t, other-other mr. holmes, its still nice to m33t you
:33 < erm, talk to you formally, anyway
:33 < is there something i can call you that isnt "other" sherlock?
:33 < i dont really want to rob you of your individuality, but i dont know if i can call you sherlock without thinking of... him

I doubt that the killer will ever be charged for the crimes he or she committed on this ship. Evidence is severely lacking at this juncture, but I'm not the type to allow cases to remain unsolved. I will do the best that I can.

My name is Sherlock Holmes, and it has been for all of my life, regardless of having a doppleganger . I'd rather you use the name that I've been given. Neither Sherlock should be known as 'other', for we both had largely the same memories and the same mannerisms. Some have taken to calling me by number instead of name, however. Though I do insist and prefer that you use my name.

Would you consider it equally unreasonable to believe that you would be the most significant lead for this investigation?

text forever & private encryption (sorry for the slow. let me love you)

[logicals]

Well, considering the fact that you're the third person to ask me this question, I'd say it's apparently quite likely. However, I didn't kill him. I had no reason to.

a sensation like burning and crushing within one's chest at once, as though utterly fine but something within them is about to burst or crumble. how could anyone possibly find this serene?

I don't think I need to tell you, but people can be remarkably stupid. I expect that it's because the expression on a corpse once it's been drowned is rather relaxed. However, that obviously shouldn't be a contributing factor into the amount of pain experienced just prior to death.
