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.

[ right back to texting, but at least he's typing properly this time. ]

Doubt it. Very loose definition of science, but it still qualifies. Think of symptoms as an open wound; requires stitches in order to properly heal.

[ which very creepily implies one entity instead of two, but he's skipping over the existential issues for now. ]

Find your window?

Like applying pressure to a wound, then. Less gross?

& will eventually. Hasn't been necessary as yet, and unfortunately have very little interest in wandering the halls hand-in-hand.


[ awesome and cool don't qualify as necessary, sorry buddy. let him know when looking out a window will get rid of headaches or fix this mess. ]

Don't think "fun" is in Mr. Graham's vocabulary.

Planning to take your partners to see the stars, I take it?


[ sherlock will pass on the fun, but he won't begrudge seth having some. he somehow doubts the kid has more important things to do. ]
