[ 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.

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

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

[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.

Comments

[workaphilic]

And as far as you're aware, you weren't returned home between when you left the castle initially and when we travelled to Paris. Is that right?

[heal_theworld]

Yes, that's right. I went straight to Paris after I left the castle and stayed there.

[workaphilic]

Bit like stasis, then.

[heal_theworld]

Yes, something like that.

[workaphilic]

[He's quiet for a long, long moment. When he speaks again, it sounds more like he's talking to himself.]

Yes, I see. That could work.

[heal_theworld]

[She thinks he's probably lost in thought, figuring something out, and she's probably not half wrong.]

I'm glad I could help.

[workaphilic]

[Coming back:] Yes.

I may contact you again depending on what I find.

[heal_theworld]

All right.

My name is Martel Yggdrasill, in case that you need to.

[workaphilic]

Sherlock Holmes.

[a beat]

Thank you.
