So, darlings.

A couple of things:

Firstly, I'm wondering what people have against one of the oldest professions? Yes, yes, I understand how young I am, but really is that your only objection?

Secondly, I am looking for a hand to hand sparring partner. While my sword skills are impressive, I'm afraid that my hand to hand has gone to the way side. I find that... unacceptable.

[ Her beating had brought that home. But she's not mentioning that. She adjusts herself in front of the console, wearing that ridiculously fluffy robe that she loves. Of course it's white. ]

So, darlings. Anyone willing to step up and answer either of those?

I need the professional opinion of a botanist and chemist well versed in the elements and compounds of this world. SH

[ Unfortunately his knowledge just doesn't cover it. For the moment. ]

{ Private to John Watson }

Meet me at the university lab. SH

{ Private to Valdis }

I need to show you something. Can you be at the University lab within the hour?

Weird question, but has anyone else been contacted by any of the kedan out of nowhere? Asking about your work, or anything like that?

[Technically the saying goes 'two is a coincidence, three is a pattern,' but any scientist knows that sample size is dependent on the question being investigated. In this case, Tony thinks that n=2 is significant.]

Helloooo, residents of Keeliai!

[Here's a new face -- and someone who doesn't really seem bothered by the news that he's not in his own world. He's smiling, perfectly relaxed, like he does this all the time. He doesn't look at all like someone just had to explain to him how one console connects to every other console in the city, plus a whole bunch of smaller communicators. Man, the wonders of magitechnology.]

I'm sure you hear this all the time, but your women are beautiful. Don't worry, I got the hint, they're off-limits, but I mean it. All you lovely ladies out there, you're gorgeous. It's amazing you have a way for me to be able to tell everyone that at once, this... whatever this is. Seriously.

[His smile brightens, giving the impression he really means it, and then he waves a hand.]

Oh yeah, and it looks like I'm not the only Foreigner here. Anyone want to show me the ropes? The kedan are great, but there's only so much you can get out of them. Apparently -- [And here's the first instance of Zelos looking less than comfortable.] -- we're on the back of a giant turtle.

[Good day, fellow turtle dwellers.]

[Or not so good, in poor Aya's case. It would seem the recent illnesses that have been going around are not carbon-based life form exclusive; her construct skin was pale and even occasionally flickered. She appeared drained of energy, and yet maintained a pleasant smile that indicating her weariness did not bring her pain.]

First, I must ask you forgive my physical appearance at this time. I can assure you, extensive internal and external tests have concluded that I am of no danger to other life forms, and will regain maximum processing capacity within another twelve hours' standby mode.

[In case anyone was worried]

Second...I have been spending much of my recent time scanning through a variety of texts made available to me in order to catalogue the written language, and have noted an interesting pattern.

Tales that are written by the same individual who are also the primary character are simultaneously more intimate in details, which allows for more insight, and yet...not all details provided appear to align with reasonable standards of logic and reason. Whereas tales written by an individual who is not the primary character are vaguer in certain details, and yet come across via a more objective, realistic narrative. And yet they are both quite amusing to read.

I am interested if this is a pattern others have noticed in their literary pursuits, both in this World and their own.

[ He's set this one to audio simply because he's not feeling well today as evidenced by the brief coughing fit when the feed first snaps on. When he speaks his voice is clipped and slightly hoarse. ]

I need a distraction.

One [ Cough. ] of you must have some perplexing problem you can't solve on your own. [ Cough Cough. ] Bring it to me, and then go away. I'll contact you once I've finished.

[ Cough. ]

And do us both a favor, don't waste my time with anything boring.

[ A pause. ]

If you have to think about it-it's boring.

[ Or you can save yourselves from being insulted by letting him suffer on his own. ]

And John? We're out of tea. Kindly make yourself useful and get some more.

[The only thing worse then hitting your head during a hurricane and being ordered to rest for two weeks was hitting your head, being ordered to rest for two weeks and then waking up miserably sick with a cold.

This really was not Conan's week.

He gropes blindly for the communicator and speaks it into it with a voice hoarse from coughing.]

Dr.Watson? Mr. Holmes? Do you know if the first aid kit has any cold medicine?
