Contact.

[ will sounds like he's giving a lecture when he comes on the screen. he's looking directly into the camera — it's easier to make eye contact with a device. ]

That's the key to all this. If you're receiving foreign sensation, you need to track down the person it originated with and make skin-to-skin contact. It'll stop the side-effects, and eventually — hopefully — break the connection. Doesn't have to be more personal than a handshake.

[ a pause, and he glances down, off-camera, visibly discomfited by the fact that the hand not holding his device is in the grip of another. ]

An... extended handshake. Whatever timer this thing is working on, we think letting go resets it.

[ the screen’s upended as sherlock hijacks the device, settling on his face (at an admittedly slightly awkward angle) a moment later. ]

But in the meantime— I’m sure you’ve all noticed that the physical links are current, unlike the memories, and arguably offer us a great deal more control. Passive sensations are the exception, but if I were to hypothetically hit my hand — as our resident neurologist has demonstrated — then Mr. Graham would feel it. [ and by hypothetically he means he's tested it, several times. ]

In the case of mutual sensations, like, say, holding one’s hand, this creates a unique feedback loop; the sensation of their hand in yours, and yours in theirs, et cetera. [ speaking of hand-holding, holding will’s hand is getting in the way of his usual gesturing; the screen's unsteady as a result. ] While I'm reluctant to test the theory with present company — no offense — I imagine this could apply to other neutral or positive sensations. If one were to engage in sexual intimacy with their link partner, for instance, then the moment of—

[ in another blur of abrupt motion, will takes his device back — and also his hand. no offense. ]

Better reset the clock to zero, Mr. Holmes.

Oh, I didn't know you knew-

Each...

Sexual intimacy, really? Aren't there children on this ship?
invisibilitea: (Annie - staring at her grave)

[personal profile] invisibilitea 2013-10-27 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, isn't that handy.

That you live next door, not that he's in your head, that doesn't sound comfortable at all.
invisibilitea: (Annie - hand over mouth)

[personal profile] invisibilitea 2013-10-27 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought that the memories would be the worst of it...

[She's really nervous about the whole...touching thing.]
invisibilitea: deliniate@ij (Annie - if I curl up they can't see me)

[personal profile] invisibilitea 2013-10-27 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
You mean hand-holding.
invisibilitea: (Annie - oh no)

[personal profile] invisibilitea 2013-10-27 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I suppose those are all rather impersonal, yes.
invisibilitea: (Annie - is that really it?)

[personal profile] invisibilitea 2013-10-27 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't really like to touch people.

[Not exactly true but good enough.]
invisibilitea: (Annie - hand over mouth)

[personal profile] invisibilitea 2013-10-27 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose I'll have to find some way to manage.

Are you all right?

invisibilitea: (Annie - dig faster this is funny)

[personal profile] invisibilitea 2013-10-27 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
You are not allowed to make this about bees, you have a bee problem.
virtuoso: (015)

permatext!! maybe

[personal profile] virtuoso 2013-10-28 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
Hobby.
invisibilitea: (Annie - is that really it?)

Sherlock admit it you love using voice with Annie

[personal profile] invisibilitea 2013-10-28 10:57 am (UTC)(link)
A bee hobby?

No one has a bee hobby that involves conversations with dead bees.
virtuoso: (129)

no never!!!

[personal profile] virtuoso 2013-10-28 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I have the distinct impression we've been over this.

The bee held sentimental value. & talking at ≠ conversation.
invisibilitea: (Annie - honestly George)

[personal profile] invisibilitea 2013-10-28 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
A bee with sentimental value.
virtuoso: (062)

[personal profile] virtuoso 2013-10-28 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Belonged to a friend.
invisibilitea: (Annie - is that really it?)

[personal profile] invisibilitea 2013-10-28 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Whut.]

How did you know that was the bee?
virtuoso: (026)

[personal profile] virtuoso 2013-10-28 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
New species. Euglassia Watsonia.
invisibilitea: (Annie - playing hangman)

[personal profile] invisibilitea 2013-10-28 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes but that exact bee?
virtuoso: (068)

[personal profile] virtuoso 2013-10-28 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Unique to one hive, all named for her. Fairly conclusive.

[ what is your problem with the bee!! ]
invisibilitea: (Annie - dig faster this is funny)

[personal profile] invisibilitea 2013-10-28 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's called distracting you from Will's head, Sherlock!]

You named her?
