Case 2: The Case of the Mysterious Music

[jamesholmes]

[ James is sitting down in the lobby, neat stacks of two or three papers on a nearby table as well as an open violin case, the violin sitting on the couch next to him as he finishes clipping together another set of papers with a paper clip before settling it down next to the others. The papers are all medical questions, some worded differently on

written forever

That's very pretty.

Dictated forever

[jamesholmes]

[He finishes the piece before looking down at the journal and smiles at the words.]

I am glad you think so, is there any other piece you would like to hear?

[queendramabitch]

[there's nothing for a little bit as she considers]

Do you know Sleepers, Awake?

[jamesholmes]

[In response he starts to play the requested piece after a short pause to remember it exactly.]

[queendramabitch]

[Lucy settles in, chin on palm, to listen. She's never actually liked classical music very much, but she did enjoy this piece when she heard it]

[jamesholmes]

[Classical music is what James thrives on, especially violin pieces, and its rather obvious as he plays that he truly enjoys it, and he's just a touch reluctant to stop when the piece ends.]

Would you care for another? I am rather free right now.

[queendramabitch]

Oh, no. I wouldn't want to take up your time, even if it's yours right now.

[jamesholmes]

Thank you for the consideration, but it is no trouble at all. If you would like another piece then feel free to ask, requests are preferred, at least then I know someone is enjoying the music besides myself.

But may I also ask your name? I'm, Doctor James Watson.

[queendramabitch]

Lucy Saxon.

[jamesholmes]

Pleasure to meet you Ms. Saxon, can I ask where you are from?

[queendramabitch]

London, England. But Tarminster, to be specific.

[jamesholmes]

I'm from London, England as well but I am not familiar with Tarminster, but I take it, different worlds different London yes?

[queendramabitch]

Not necessarily. Tarminster is in Surrey.

[jamesholmes]

No, no I don't recall one, and if there was one I'm positive I would know of it. Is there, an Old City in your world, on the west coast of what is still hopefully called America?

[queendramabitch]

I haven't the slightest idea. I only visited America once, briefly, after my husband took control of Earth.

[jamesholmes]

Your husband...took control of Earth? [Yeah he's just a touch bit curious as to the how and why of it.]
