001 [Accidental Voice]

[The screen flickers on for a moment to show a face of puzzled concentration. Then, suddenly, the video feed cuts out. The audio remains, for an aggravated sigh follows the loss of visual footage. There's a rustling which, presumably, is Holmes pocketing the device.]

I will give that my full attention later.

... There is a strange familiarity about

[chosered]

You'll give what your full attention later?

[no_commonplace]

... This curious piece of technology, of course.

[chosered]

You mean the communication device?

[no_commonplace]

Ah. Is that what you call it? How very interesting.

[starcaptured]

Ho~e?

Have you been here before, mister?

[no_commonplace]

Hm. There is no evidence to suggest I have, and yet... my instinct is telling me otherwise.

[starcaptured]

Maybe you have been here and you forgot? That happens a lot!

[no_commonplace]

I see. Then perhaps if you could kindly inform me of where "here" is, it may all come back to me. And pray do not spare any details.

[barnabasdog]

Hullo again and now you're the one late.

[no_commonplace]

I was not aware I had a prior engagement.

You are...?

[barnabasdog]

Gahhhh, you forgot me too?!

Barnabas - ring any bells, hit a gong or two?

[no_commonplace]

Who else has forgotten you, I wonder?

I'm sorry, it does not.

[misterblackbird]

Familiarity or not, there is no train station anywhere near here, I'm afraid.

[no_commonplace]

Ah, how unfortunate. I gather this was the root of Mr. Potter's skepticism...

[misterblackbird]

His skepticism in what regard?

[no_commonplace]

How soon I would return to London by way of train.

[stargathering]

You look a little familiar to me, too...

[ pauses, then shakes his head ] Anyway, I don't think there are any train stations here for you to find...

[no_commonplace]

Quite curious, isn't it.

Then I am forced to wonder how I arrived here in the first place.

[stargathering]

Yeah... We couldn't have met outside of this place, though.

Most people just arrive randomly, I think. Train stations have nothing to do with it.

[no_commonplace]

What makes you say that?

That explanation does fit the few facts I have. What a singular little puzzle this is becoming.
