1st entry ~ [Text]

[hadbadays]

I used to run a blog back home. A journal of a sort, for those out there who don't know what a blog is. It's sort of second nature to think about how to write about something while it's happening, but the problem here is that there hasn't exactly been much worth writing about. It's a good way of keeping notes, though, so I might as well give it a go.

I'm Dr. John Watson. No, not the one with the moustache who runs that clinic, although he's apparently some sort of... alternate universe version of me? That's one thing that's really worth making note of, at least.

It's really quiet around these parts, isn't it? I've been here for over two weeks now and there's just been nothing. Well, aside from a bit of a row down at a pub and the "gods" deciding to host some sort of competition, and a tournament. I can't say I've ever really been very interested in watching people fight, so I didn't really take notice of that. Good for those who find that fun, though. Lucky bastards.

Okay, maybe two weeks isn't really that long, but I'm used to excitement a bit more frequently than this.

You know, the problem is that I don't really believe in any of these things. Gods, travel between universes, alternate universes, magic, all of that. That's for fiction, it's not real. Yet here it all is in front of my eyes. I'm still partly waiting for it to come out as some sort of sick prank.

But going on the assumption that it's not. This war, what can you people tell me about it? Conan, I was told you might know something about people keeping records?

There might at least be some use I can make of myself. I've seen my own share of it. War, I mean.

<sub>[ Sherlock has been practically nonexistent for the last week. It's by choice, of course - there are things Sherlock doesn't want John to know about, and those things tend to be very obvious. He's fine for now, though, in the middle of a particularly strong concoction that's left him feeling pleasantly buzzed.

He could take on the world. He just doesn't think that's very practical for the time being.

He stumbles upon John merely by chance, and instead of meandering back to his room, he decides to linger by the doorway and watch John type. It doesn't take long for him to figure out what he's doing. ]</sub>

Oh, for god's sake. I thought I'd escaped your incessant need to type the day's events the moment we'd arrived here, especially now that there aren't any events worth mentioning. What next, an entry devoted entirely to making tea and staring at the ceiling? Riveting .

[ Sherlock's annoyance at his writing is something John knows is most often very much not serious. Or maybe a little, but not really enough to make note of. But with how Sherlock's been acting lately, aside from a few blessed moments where the old, fine Sherlock actually seems to peek out and the recent lack of his presence overall, there seems to be more venom behind it than usual.

John presses his lips together, and leans back into the armchair - only a few sentences away from finishing the entry - to give Sherlock a blank look. ]

Look who crawled out of his hole.

Conan's got a lot of records, but I'll help out a little.

Honestly, it's been quiet for about a month. After the armies got decimated, we've been in a holding pattern. I think people aren't even quite sure what to do right now. They know that there's going to be a rescue operation to find Freyr's soul, but other than that it's been as silent as a tomb. Folks are trying to pretend to have regular lives, or they're trying to get the weaponry set up for the next fight mostly. Think of it as the calm before a storm that's waiting to break.

But, since you're asking for info, let's start this question by question, and no promises I know the answer or am willing to share. Deal?

[hadbadays]

Deal.

Freyr's soul?

The war was a pain in the ass. There were a bunch of giants and dragons we had to fight, but that wasn't very surprising since some of us have known about them for a really long time. One of the dragons declared war on us way back when people had first arrived.

Conan is really the best person to ask since he's been around since the beginning. There aren't many of us left but I can try to answer some questions, too. [She did it with Natasha, after all!]

[ Giants and dragons. Jesus Christ. ]

Do you know how long ago the beginning was?

[over reaction!] (1/???)

[John talking about blogging? Ha -- I'd love to see that! Is he going to start one he--

[My records? He's asking for--]

[holmes_fanatic]

[And Sherlock-sensei will be looking at this too! Yabai -- I never got around to updating, too busy feeling sorry for myself!]

[text] (done!)

[holmes_fanatic]

Ah, they're a little out of date and still very much a work in progress, but you can find the records we've been working on here!

An alternate version of you? [ He completely sidesteps the purpose of this post just to ask that. ]

But the war is still ongoing. No prank could be this elaborate.

[text]

[hadbadays]

Yes. There's no doubt about it, if you're wondering. We don't only share a name.

Maybe not. If someone were trying to make me dream something I doubt it'd have anything to do with an Asgard.

[but definitely watching other people telling him crazy stuff for once]

Passed over the tournament, eh? That's a shame. There's entertainment to be found even when you're not interested in watching the rest of us knock each other about. [ He sort of threw himself into everything he could about it, though, so it's safe to say that Gwaine is biased. ]

Or getting yourself knocked about with the rest of us.

[ He'd contribute helpful war information while he's here but he doesn't really... have any... nothing that isn't already general knowledge. ]

I prefer to keep my getting knocked about more... accidental.

[ Cough. ]

[the_good_doctor]

I suppose I should be glad that I am at least 'really worth making note of.'

[hadbadays]

Silver linings.

[fishdouche]

That's because magic isn't fuckin' real, an' you're logical to think so.

[This coming from the gray-skinned alien.]

[hadbadays]

[ Uhm. Yep, that's a grey-skinned alien. ]

What do you call all this then?

( There is so much Hermione wants to say, but she's forced to settle with.. )

You don't believe in magic? Not even a little bit?

[hadbadays]

I used not to. I don't know what to really think anymore, I suppose.

I don't know much about this war that everyone goes on about, and I can't say I've got much interest in it, either.

Alternate universe versions? Is that a thing? I ask because there was a fellow here who looked and sounded exactly like me. We had different names and completely different lives, but even among all the folks in different universes, what are the chances of that?

[Text]

[hadbadays]

Why not?

That's another version of it. But I can't say I'm very surprised at this point.

[tradingsecrets]

I think a lot of us have seen some sort of fighting in our lives.

[hadbadays]

A war isn't just any fighting.

[ omg someone else with alternate versions of themselves!! though Arthur is still a bit lmfaksdjf over the fact that his is ... a ... woman, w/e. ]

Under other circumstances, I might say that it's quite good to meet you, John Watson. But there is hardly anything quite so quiet about this realm.

[ Okay, you win. ]

No, it doesn't seem that way.

Asgard needs a little less boring.
