[ 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.

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.
