[ this is unusual at best, but john watson is the adapting sort. he has to when his best friend (arguably. loathing as he would be to admit it) is sherlock holmes. this is simply part and par for the course. for the most part, he has kept a low profile, asking questions to find out pertinent information. and even figured out how to use this little device. sort of. it's like a handheld typewriter. fascinating.
except he doesn't know it broadcasts out to everyone. w h o o p s. ]
The imagination is a powerful tool.
Except I cannot help but wonder if this is less imagination and more hallucination. Last I remember, I was at home in the study and the next moment--as if reality itself had shifted--I was covered in an unidentifiable substance. Blue in color, nearly gelatinous in texture but washed away cleanly in the showers. No visible harm, no internal damage from what I can assess. Curious, really.
From what I have gathered this is a ship in space. Seems highly far fetched to me. How is a ship able to move through air and no water? Something does not ring right about this place, as if a mystery is unfolding down each strangely dark corridor. Even some odd demon-like possessions as it were. Surely a place worthy to keep Holmes busy for at least a week.
[ on the other end of the device—and he'd INHERENTLY disagree if anyone saw. but there's almost a nostalgic sort of smile that passes over his lips. but then it's gone nearly as quickly as it came. ]
Too bad you have to miss this, old chap.

I was bored after 3 days, Watson.
voice;
No. This simply cannot be.
voice;
Of course it cannot be why else would I be talking to you. You informed everyone of those thoughts of yours. Rather poor decision to keep that unlocked. [ a beat. ] It is a fascinating device once you learn to use it.
voice;
I hadn't known it would be open to the public. It wasn't— What is so fascinating about it?
voice;
The fact that it enables you to do something like that accidentally. [ a pause and tony just gives up the accent. ] I'm not him, by the way. Too well groomed for that, among other things. He's here though.
voice;
Yes, I know you're not. I'm not completely daft. [ because lbr here, he'd know holmes' voice anywhere. ] I suppose I could commend you on a suitable impression. [ but he's not. ]
voice;
And yet, you didn't tell me that until a bit after I started talking. Seems suspicious. I'm just saying. Maybe I was better than the others seem to think.
voice;
No. What threw me is why someone would even bother trying to trick me at all.

voice; locked 10% aberdeen's been teaching him HA
This is not one of them.
voice; locked 20% oh bravo
It was a joke, he did leave it open and really, if that much of a bro or partner, I would hope he realizes that I'm not you.
voice; locked 20% fuq u u showoff people used to throw poop in the thames
And the most technology we've previously is a damned telegram; these devices are a step or two or twenty beyond my own grasp, let alone his.
To tell the difference won't take long at all, but it's a matter that you can't begin to understand, let alone one to make light of.
voice; locked 30% people still do that!!! tony did it once.
And yet you've managed to figure out the text function and locks. Do I need to put the two of you on learning curve? Seriously you're supposed to be a genius, learn quickly.
Did you die? [ a beat. ] He said it cannot be so, I mean, it's either that or you just left him all alone to go to I don't know, China.
voice; locked 30% stop bettering my filter just because you can!!! u butt
[ sincerely, fuq u tony, xoxo ]
The story is long and arduous, and I'd hardly think you would be one to find interest in it. Though China is inarguably fine this time of year.
Whatever time of year it happens to be.
voice; locked 35% n o p e SUX TO BE U, SHERLOCK
[ your xoxo's send the signal of actual fucking, sherlock. o o p s. ]
I've got time. A lot of it, actually and I'm dreadfully curious as to why he's talking about you like that.
VOICE BUT SO FUCKING HELP ME IF THAT PERCENTAGE GOES UP AGAIN
[ what no shut up stop taking advantage of my pop culture antiknowledge ]
Talking about me as? A man intrigued by the idea of a ship in space, doused in thousands of years of anachronism and prospective new knowledge abounds? The scoundrel!
VOICE 40% YOU'LL DO WHAT, HOLMES?
and ha ha ha, sorry no can do, taking advantage forever. ]
Was that supposed to be clever? Was that seriously supposed to be a clever rebuttal? That needs a bit of work, to be honest. I meant as if you aren't around him any more. You're supposed to be the bestest of friends.
PROBABLY NOTHING BECAUSE LIKE HELL AM I LOWERING THE FILTER TO ONE WATSON CAN READ???
TONY CAN DO THAT THOUGH. ALSO HAHA YOUR THREAT IS NOW MOOT. 45%
OKAY SUPER RUDE, DO YOU WANNA THROW DOWN OUTSIDE THIS RING, OLD MAN
WHO ARE YOU CALLING OLD MAN YOU ANCIENT FUCKER. BRING IT ON
WOW ANCIENT, LOOK WHO'S DISCRIMINATING ABOUT MY ERA, LET'S THROW IT ON THE STONES

Oh you've caught me. I'm a sham. A complete fraud. But at least we're both English. You're attempts at the accent are completely and utterly pathetic. You could have done this so much better. Like adapted more victorian-isms and you were entirely out of character. I could have helped you devise something that sounded more like me.
[ GUESS WHO ISN'T FROM REICHENBACH? BDD ]
no subject
This is, of course, pending you both find me completely mental and that I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Holmes and an impostor.
I may not have the deducing skills he... you... both have, but I am not without a brain either.
no subject
Do you really want me to answer how mental I find you? Because I can. If you really really want to hear it.

I wasn't going for accuracy, SH. Nor was I going for doing this well. I just wanted to make the other one sad. Or mad. Either or. Kind of won in that regard.
