11th Case: "You wear a jacket."

May 03, 2011 14:26

[The video turns on, and it focuses on Holmes, his expression the most carefully calculated of deadpans.]

If Dr. Watson has decided to board the wrong ship again, he needn't respond to this video.

[A beat, and he takes a swig of something that comes in a small bottle. Possibly intended for eye surgery.

He stares at the video feed for a long time, ( Read more... )

I'm sorry, Holmes. I was hoping there would be a way for him to stay.

[He glances at John, and then picks up a book (holding it upside down), scanning over the text as if this is the most routine thing in the world.]

Ah. Well, you know the doctor, with his whims and his domestic callings. Maybe he found Mary on the Sif, to which I say: "good for him."

Re: [Video] holmes_blogger May 4 2011, 02:44:05 UTC

I wish I could have talked to him for a little longer, but at least I finally got to meet the other me.

... Trying to teach yourself to read upside down?

Re: [Video] yes_mother_hen May 4 2011, 19:07:45 UTC

Hm? Ah. Yes. It's an exercise in... reading from different perspectives.

[He closes the book quickly.]

In any case, what did you think of the man? Similarities? Differences?

Re: [Video] holmes_blogger May 4 2011, 19:12:16 UTC

It's a useful skill. [As John would know.]

Unfortunately our conversation was fairly short, but there was definitely an odd sense of familiarity.

Re: [Video] yes_mother_hen May 4 2011, 20:26:38 UTC

Admittedly, Watson is...

[He fishes around for the right word.]

Less inclined to tolerate some of my more... eccentric tendencies.

Re: [Video] holmes_blogger May 4 2011, 20:35:41 UTC

That would seem to be a Watson's job when it comes to a Holmes.

Were you able to spend much time with him?

Re: [Video] yes_mother_hen May 4 2011, 20:46:54 UTC

Mm. He was too busy fussing over the state of my room, as it were.

He ran out and got himself lost, I wager.

Re: [Video] holmes_blogger May 4 2011, 20:55:20 UTC

I suppose he's more used to your...organizational standards than I am.

Re: [Video] yes_mother_hen May 5 2011, 04:17:52 UTC

Used to, as in, more comfortable with having a squabble or two over it.

...That isn't an invitation.

Re: [Video] holmes_blogger May 5 2011, 04:21:30 UTC

I've learned my lesson. I'm not going to touch anything in your room.

Re: [Video] yes_mother_hen May 5 2011, 04:24:32 UTC

Very good, Doctor. You've learned your lesson.

[A beat, and then:]

Hypothetical question.

[He doesn't even ask if he can pose it.]

Re: [Video] holmes_blogger May 5 2011, 04:41:21 UTC

[This should be interesting.]

I'm listening.

Re: [Video] yes_mother_hen May 5 2011, 04:44:57 UTC

If there's technology available on the ship, allowing us to... transport ourselves instantaneously from one location to the other, then theoretically, it would be possible to control this brand of technology on a smaller scale.

Yes?

[HOLMES ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO TRY TO BUILD A TELEPORTATION DEVICE. REALLY.]

Re: [Video] holmes_blogger May 5 2011, 04:51:00 UTC

... [Uh oh.]

Are you talking about the drive that moves us from planet to planet?

Re: [Video] yes_mother_hen May 5 2011, 04:55:29 UTC

Precisely.

Is that sort of technology available for perusal, anywhere else on this ship?
