[ Anyone Who Has Left and Returned with Memories ]

[He thinks on this filter for a long time. (Whether he should keep himself anonymous or not, whether it's even worthwhile in the grand scheme of things.) But eventually, he writes:]

I have questions, if you're willing to answer.

SH

----

[ Anyone Who Has Experienced a 'Trip Home', excluding John Watson ]

I'd like to compare notes, as it were. Provided you're amenable.

SH

----

[Some time later, he'll dictate to the castle at large. There's not much energy in him today; he sounds worn out.]

Give me recipes, residents. Your favorites from your home world, I don't care.

Unless you're from Earth, in which case, don't bother.

[An exasperated groan.]

It can't take thirty seconds, step behind a tree or something.

It'd dark out! What do you want me to do, hold a lantern with my teeth as I check?!

It's not like I'll be going home anytime soon.

It's important. Not going to have you wander off and forget when the answer could be significant to my research.

[Yeah, research.]

I don't care if you have to gather glow worms to do it, just do it.

[Yeah, no he's not buying it. Allen is not Sherlock smart, but he's not an idiot]

What research? Why are you asking all this?

[The real reasons behind this are getting out to no one, as far as he's concerned. It's not safe.]

I'm bored, haven't you heard? And since no one seems to be interested in killing anyone lately, I've had to make do with the next best thing.

The alternative is to sit here and try to not scratch my own eyes out, so if you'd be so kind....

[The best cover stories are the ones that are still technically true, after all.]

If it was simply a case of boredom, why did you filter from Dr. Watson?

[That's right. He's calling bullshit]

[Fine you want to play that way? Let's play.]

It's not a conversation I want to have with John, nor one he wants to have with me.

It is nowhere near your concern.

It is if you want me to be a subject for your "research".

Does this have to do with the time he was sent home?

[He's silent for a long, long moment. When he does finally speak, it's with derision slathered on in layers.]

Not him. Us.

The experience was less than pleasant.

[Yeah, he's sure faking your death is rough buddy, but he'll bite his tongue]

So are there memories that don't match up? Or missing parts?

[those fucking books he dreams of the day he can pile them all on a beach, light them on fire, and make s'mores on them.]

No. Nothing of the sort.

[Sadly it was more you not trolling him all summer that was the giveaway than the books. #trollbait problems ]

Then what's with all this?

It's part of my research because I'm bored. It's filtered from John because I'd rather not be thrown out of my own flat.

Are you satisfied, or would you like to pry into my personal life some more?

Don't get snippy with me, you have no problem prying into my personal life if it ever interests you.

That's why I'm me and you're you.

Are you going to do it or not?

[a pause. He wants to say no. He wants to shut the journal on him, and tell him to shove off. This guy is a jerk and aggravating as hell. ]

[But there's a chance this could actually be important. That this could affect John, who while he's not close, has never done anything but nice things for Allen.]

[Ugh why does John have to have such stupid friends.]

Just hold on a moment.

[And there's the sound of him grabbing a lantern and getting up to head somewhere private]

Finally.

[He sighs, and he waits. Feelings are mixed on what he actually hopes the answer is, so he does what he does best and puts it out of his mind.

Never theorize ahead of evidence.]

[It takes a few minutes before he returns since hey kinda hard to balance a lantern while checking your skin]

There's a small scar below my right shoulder from a training mishap from a couple years ago.

And you wouldn't notice if you were sent home and it was still there.

[He needs to be 100% clear on this, okay.]

Edited (don't filter to yourself that's rude) 2013-01-29 08:47 (UTC)

No. If I did see it, I would've assumed I got it on a mission or something like that.

[........I get injured a lot ok]

Yes, fine, good. [Scratching as he writes in a separate journal.] There, see? How hard was that?

[a small annoyed noise]

I don't see why it matters if I have a small scar or not.

No, you wouldn't, would you?

No, because it seems like grasping at straws. For all we know, it would disappear too but there's no proof of that either way because I wouldn't notice it.

[faux-cheerful:]

Exactly.
