[When the feed for the video turns on it's not focused. It's a moment of movement as the person adjusts the bracelet so the video finally catches onto the figure. It's difficult to make out the features under the black cloak, but the bright blue eyes come out as clear as day.

The person doesn't say anything at first, although there's a sigh at getting the bracelet to work. The figure seems to be pulling together this thoughts before finally deciding to speak.]

Please--Can someone tell me how this is possible? I--I can't be here-- [There's a pause as she works that out. She's supposed to be with Sora.] I know they brought us here for a reason and I will do my part-- but I'm not supposed to be here. It's not possible.

[What is going on? Her voice struggles, but that age old determination makes it possible for her to finish.]

Please. If anyone has any answers, I need to know.

[ hello asgard, have a...well. Have a tired Kate Beckett. She's actually going to take a moment to yawn right before she gets to speaking, though it's mostly because she's overworking herself more than anything.

Right, onto the point of this. ]

Hard to believe I've been here... well. About six months now? [ so she's being counting, which is difficult to decide the whole 30 days versus 31 and what have you, so sue her. ] Something like that.

Anyway, for those of you who are new. [ Have a small smile. ] My name's Kate Beckett and I work with the Forensics Department here in Asgard. I've been here...well. For a while now, so if you have any questions I'd be... [ another yawn. ] happy to answer them.

[ She's going to blink once or twice, trying to fight off whatever is coming over her, before she slowly leans her head down on the table and falls asleep with the bracelet still on.

It seems someone has fallen victim to the sleeping curse, right at her desk. Feel free to come and join in on her dreams here though she can't promise it'll be nice. ]


[ooc: so the options here are a) delayed responses to anything left here, because Kate will be waking up soon and will get to them! Just not immediately, or b) her nightmare dream log thing. up to you. c: just thought she deserved a post seeing as I have officially been in this game for ONE YEAR (and a day) SO PARTY HARDY EVERYONE.]

[ The video feed starts, showing the brunette backed by a portion of the city's greyness. She's only been here a short time, but there's a question nagging her mind. ]

Not that I don't understand a need for assistance when facing certain odds, but generally, it's better to ask before just... taking people away.

[ And now that she's first expressed her frustration... ]

What happens during the time we spend here? Back home, I mean. Time seems to pass the same between worlds. If that holds true for here, how do I -- how is our absence explained? That we're just gone and maybe never coming back? Oh well you'll just have to make up for lost time later?

[ The more she talks about it, the more irritated she seems. ]

I understand a need for help, but this was definitely not the best time.

[The opening of the video makes it plainly apparent that it isn’t entirely intended, but the man onscreen recovers quickly. There passes only a moment’s surprise – eyebrows quirked, thoroughly unamused – before Sherlock’s expression settles and his eyes roam across the interface. Not ideal, showing his face like this. Not at all ideal, but whoever has him now obviously already knows it. Whoever brought him here, put this bracelet on his wrist, and there are so many reasons he should cut the feed now, so very many reasons, but it would be pointless, wouldn’t it? They know he’s alive. That means he hasn’t much time, not much at all. And so instead of ending it, instead of cutting the feed now, he speaks.]

Lovely jewelry, very clever, but not quite enough to buy me, I’m afraid. Maybe later. Things to do. Perhaps, instead, you could tell me where the bloody hell I am and how not to be here anymore.
