[sophie almost never uses text on the network, but here you go, asgard.]

I am sure most have seen Norman's announcement that Conan has returned home. After a trip to the bank this evening, I have found that Dr. Watson and Superboy are gone as well. Their friends may wish to check at the bank.

John, you especially may wish to do so. I doubt Watson would have entrusted the clinic to anyone else.

[ Three people she's noted the absence of. They probably meant something to her, then. He personally doesn't know what to feel because, well. He liked Watson, but the whole thing never exactly stopped being weird.

But he feels sad for her sake. ]

I don't think I would have either. I'll have a look.

[she is just fond of john watsons, as it were]

Do let me know, and I will update the records at the apothecary.

How are you finding Baldr?

[she did notice her new neighbors, after all]

[Text]

[hadbadays]

I will.

It's good. Nothing to complain about.

[Text]

[hollowchild]

I am glad.

I have scones for you, actually. I will drop them by in the morning.

[ He would give a heads-up, but he knows that Sophie wouldn't mind him showing up, which is why he goes to look for her. And, of course, he checks her flat first, gives the door a good, firm knock. ]

[hollowchild]

[she doesn't mind, no. she looks pretty calm when she answers the door, except for the way that she's obviously working to hold her face like that]

Ah, Doctor, hello. Come in.

[the kettle is on the stove. they don't have a kitchen table, but on the livingroom floor in front of some pillows that were obviously being sat in are a t-shirt, a rather victorian at, and a very nice, wickedly sharp looking knife, all sitting in a neat little pile.

there is also a half-eaten banana on the kitchen counter]

[comeonthensexy]

Hello, my dear. Thank you.

[ He clasps his hands together as he steps inside, peering around curiously. ]

I see you're making it all cozy in here.

[Action]

[hollowchild]

[there's the 'my dear' again. so still not quite the doctor. but close enough for her purposes at the moment]

Cozy does seem to be our priority.

[and as the kettle begins to whistle]

Tea? We've got some choices.

Thanks for the heads up Sophie. I'll send word to John in that case to make sure we've got the contacts updated.

Going to miss the guy, honestly.

Text

[hollowchild]

Me too.

I received his hat.

Text

[samantha_grey]

Oh god. You know, it's almost like he's still here a little if the hat's here. I'll get in touch with the other John and make sure he knows we're still available to the clinic. Wouldn't be right otherwise.

[And she got the feeling he was about as pragmatic as the other doctor was.]

[hollowchild]

It is, rather. I am not sure why it came to me, but I am glad of it.

I cannot see John changing what works. He was running the clinic in Watson's previous absence, I think he was satisfied with us.

( ah. now, that she is sad to see. because if John Watson is gone (or at least, the one she had met), then that meant ... yes. Sherlock Holmes had returned home as well. )

He may be happy at home. He was just married, as far as I knew.

( on the other hand, Sherlock Holmes owed her a date. she'd been stood up. how rude. )

[hollowchild]

Just married. I am sure he is happy at home. It seems his Sherlock went as well.

[redhourglass]

'His' Sherlock?

text.

[hollowchild]

There were two John Watsons, and two Sherlock Holmeses. They are similar in some ways, but not the same. Watson and his Holmes are gone, John and his Sherlock are not.

Voice.

[toldastory]

There's a clinic?

Voice.

[hollowchild]

There is. And a hospital too.

[after a short pause, martha's bracelet pulls up the city map, with both the clinic and the hospital marked on it]

Do you practice medicine?

Voice.

[toldastory]

Yes. I'm a doctor specializing in emergency medicine and xeniobiology.

[wasthemaster]

Is it me, or are people suddenly leaving a lot faster now?

[hollowchild]

I do not know. Who else has left recently?

[wasthemaster]

Specific names haven't caught my eye, but the travelers list keeps changing. Plus three of them just disappeared together in a bunch. Seems odd to me.

[hollowchild]

How are you?

[nukeoleptic]

i am really sorry it is happening
