first - backdated to after the jump, around the 9th, if y'all don't mind!

[ the feed winks on with no trouble, and there’s an elegantly disheveled man on the other side. it takes skill to look this good, okay. ]

Right. I see you - and that’s a general "you" rather than a specific one - have taken the liberty of marking me without my consent. While I don’t necessarily disapprove, it would be greatly appreciated if you would ask me prior to the event next time, as this isn’t necessarily the location that I would choose. Perhaps something more discreet, I think, for something so boring.

[ can you see the other tattoo peeking out from underneath his sleeve? maybe. he’s got a few. Sherlock sits back in his chair. ]

I assume these numbers mean something [ and there’s a wave of his arm ] if they’re so important as to be tattooed on. I can’t say that my- [ the tiniest pause ] associate will be too pleased with it, but experience tells me that these things are quite meant to last. I can’t see that she has any say it in now, in any case.

[ he’d spin around, if the chair would let him. good lord, don’t you people even have spinny chairs? ]

The way I understand it, we are all currently on a spaceship hurtling into the great beyond, yes? As I’ve not seen any proper crew members, I’d like to know who is piloting. What are their credentials, where did they train, the like. I assume that interplanetary kidnapping is a rather large part of their agenda, so I won’t be so obvious as to ask when I can return to my "cozy" little brownstone. All I ask is that, when I am finally returned, you see to it I’m accompanied by a, a doctor’s note, of sorts, describing the circumstances and why I am not to be held accountable for my mysterious disappearance. You can address said note to Joan Watson, and Captain Gregson of the New York City Police Department. They can pass it along to any other possibly relevant parties, whomever they may be.

Oh. [ there’s a pause where he remembers something, and it’s muttered to himself: ] I hope Watson remembers to tend to my bees. They’re rather high-maintenance around this time of year; it’ll be the least she can do, before she takes her leave.

[ and it ends there. ]


[ooc; like I said, the post is backdated!]

[ And here we have an irritated, bemuttonchopped man who has recently had his guns taken from him. Your deductions, Sherlock, are not helping his mood in the slightest.

On that note, 'Gregson' is a familiar name, but his assumptions are instantly shot down by the mention of the New York Police Department. Seems you're anonymous until you reveal your name, Sherlock.

Good god, are you quite done? How much more rot could you possibly have in your head to rattle off?

[oh

oh she is a big fan of tattoos

yes she is. in fact so much so that she's pretty much ignoring the rest of your tl;dr to be gross and flirtatious.

And if you had your choice, what discreet location would you have chosen?

The number corresponds to your locker and your room. The first, blank area is your department, if you join one.

[ Carolyn rolls up her sleeve, revealing her tattoo; OPR » 008 » 022 ]

So in my case: Operations, eighth floor -- and eighth jump and eighth row of lockers -- with room and locker 22.

And they're nanites. They'll lock or unlock your door or anything else coded to them; I'm on the flight crew, so I can get into the shuttle bay if it's locked. I'm not part of the science department, so if that's locked down, I'm out of luck.

Right on my arse. If I was to be branded they should have done it right and proper.

[ Close Sherlock, so close.

It takes her a minute to decipher his "typing quirk" as she sees it, but if you can get used to Terezi you can get used to anything. Acronyms are nothing compared to "1 4M TH3 L4W."

:33 < a good question!
:33 < some people have reported remembering, others havent
:33 < its a very strange phenomenon, and i say that as someone for whom interdimensional communication is a normalish thing

:33 < part of it may be beclaws of multiple universes and time lines
:33 < so the same exact purrson isnt being taken into this universe
:33 < like imagine it as a big tr33 and the trunk of it is a basic concept
:33 < that serves as the "alpha" time line or universe where things happen as theyre suppawsed to
:33 < all of the branches come from the same tr33, but theyre slightly diffurent, and some of them break off while others sprout into twigs and leaves
:33 < its similar with universes!
:33 < imagine again that you take two twigs from the same tr33
:33 < theyre the same type of wood and might have the same number of leaves, but if you put one twig in a bowl of water, that doesnt mean the other twig is going to get wet
:33 < in this elaborate metaphor the water is memories of the tranquility and the twigs are two versions of the same purrson

:33 < in this case the tr33 is watson and holmes
:33 < ive met several variations of mr. holmes here
:33 < some of them were duplicates of the same purrson (aka mr. ridiculous ch33kbones) and others were just diffurent versions of him
:33 < the older one was one of my favfurites! hed dress up in disguise and adopt characters fur his sleuthing
:33 < annnndddd since you know the name watson im going to guess that youre furmiliar with some version of mr. holmes too!
:33 < im a bit of an amateur detective myself, you s33
:33 < i think the herd of sherlocks is rubbing off on me ;33


[ Well actually one of them was her friend and after he was murdered she wanted to carry on his legacy, but that's not really a fact to greet people with. "Hello and welcome to Tranquility. Sometimes people get murdered and terrible things happen but you know what it beats the hell out of living on a deserted meteor." ]

:33 < as fur the HOW we get back home
:33 < that hasnt b33n solved yet
:33 < though that hardly means we are devoid of hope
:33 < many people have b33n placed back into their own universes, at least judging by the people who have left, come back from a diffurent point in their time line, and remember their previous stay
:33 < its just not... voluntary

You talk to one of the members -- most of them have someone who's at least unofficially in charge by now. [ Half-shrug. ] There are only two original crew members on the ship, as far as we know. Everyone else ended up here the same way you did.

That depends on the year you're from -- and the universe. And no, I don't. [ Pause. ] No one back home will notice you're gone. When you go back, it'll be like you never left; like no time passed. As far as reports have gone, you won't remember here, either, until you come back -- and coming back remembering being here isn't a guarantee. Neither is coming back at all, which most people find comforting.

[ she'll only begrudgingly confess that it's relieving to see a familiar face, especially when said face belongs to a certain sherlock holmes. she considers the venue of text only to dismiss it (because sherlock's texting abilities are awful), opting for video. ]

We are an excitable bunch, you will find locker rooms are like Christmas morning. Presents needing to be opened after a rude waking. You will adjust to getting the coal at times. Merry days.

As for 'Watson,' that is a particular name that revisited this place several times. Doctors, each of them. John Watson 110% of the time, to be precise, but you have just broken that.
