TEXT | SHERLOCK | CASE OO1

[consulting]

BORED!
Give me work. Give me problems.
My mind rebels against this stagnation.
Give me a puzzle. Or mystery.
Either will do.
Just. Give. Me. Something. To. Solve. Tranquility.
I need the mental stimulation before I result
to drinking the liquid from the grav pouches.

[ voice ] HOW LONG IS THE SERIES

[ He exhales. ]

Mine was harder than yours. You're obviously better than this than I am.

[ A pause and then, he has to ask: ]

They have 'Happy Birthday' where you're from?

[ Culture clash and culture commonalities. They were funny things to take for granted now. ]

[ voice ] IT'S NOT MARVEL LONG IF THA'TS WHAT YOU'RE ASKING

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

I don't think I'm any better. Perhaps more knowledgeable in certain fields, but I'm fairly certain our IQs match up.

And... Yeah. I mean, yes, we do. I've never heard it before, but the ship's crew where I'm from tell me about these things.

[ voice ] if you have digital copies or know what i can try to torrent I WILL LOOK FOR IT o3o

[ Okay, at that, Capa has to laugh — though it sounds more like a cough, there's no denying what it is. It's obviously meant to be a compliment. It's the strangest compliment he's gotten from a four year old in an eleven year old's body. ]

I can get Corazon to sing it to you sometime. It's— well, it's 'Happy Birthday'.

[ voice ] pming you

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

[ she abruptly changes the subject, clearing her throat. ]

We've yet to actually meet each other, Capa.

[ voice ] alksjdfahskld;ajs ;__;

[flares.livejournal.com]

[ This abrupt change in topic doesn't seem to phase him. ]

We can change that if you'd like, Chase.

[ voice ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

Yes. have you played 3 dimensional chess, Capa? There's another one on board--his name is Spock--he seems quite intelligent himself. He recommended it to me.

[ voice ]

[flares.livejournal.com]

[ Capa isn't surprised that Chase has found Spock. He's insanely intelligent while she's extremely bright. It makes sense. ]

No, I've never. But we can change that too. [ A beat. ] Spock and I have exchanged ideas about the ship. He's insightful. We're lucky to have someone like him on board.

[ voice ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

What ideas?

[ An information exchange? Without her? Now she's just plain nosy. ]

[ voice ]

[flares.livejournal.com]

[ There's a pinch to Capa's voice. Vague, but there if you pay attention. Maybe it's cause he's amused. Or maybe he's implying something. ]

We can talk about it over chess, if you want.

[ voice ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes, of course. Just say when.

[ voice ]

[flares.livejournal.com]

Not too busy exploring the ship?

[ Which he would frown upon. FYI. ]

[ voice ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

I've been around the lift waiting for your friend, Capa. I haven't been exploring yet.

[ She's a good little soldier and took Capa's request a little too literally, okay? ]

[ voice ]

[flares.livejournal.com]

[ He makes a noise. Incredulously: ]

Chase, no, that's not what I—

[ The scrape of his hand over stubble. ]

I'll come get you.

[ voice ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

Did I do something wrong?

[ voice ]

[flares.livejournal.com]

No. No, you haven't.

[ He should have been more clear. ]

I'll be there in a minute, alright?
