James Watson

[thisisprogress]

Erm, yes. I mean, yes, I think your room would be fine. Definitely.

[Somebody seems more frazzled than usual.]

Nikola Tesla

[jamesholmes]

[And James notices and is curious here.]

Very well it is on the same floor as your own, I have wine. May I ask what the issue is or would you like to be here before you talk about it?

James Watson --> Action!

[thisisprogress]

I'll talk about when I get there.

[And he comes in the door and sits on a nearby chair, looking particularly agitated- but not in a bad way, it seems.]

ACTION!

[jamesholmes]

[And because they never seem to knock the three of them he's not surprised to see Nikola come in, James sitting in a nearby chair himself and looking better then he has in a while.

But that way Nikola is gets him a curious grin.]

Very well then Nikola, what has you in such a state?

[truthin_bones]

I held no qualms in telling Booth about his tumor.

[jamesholmes]

How long ago did he, suffer from it in your time?

[truthin_bones]

The discovery and operation had occurred two years prior to my arrival here.

Had Booth remained at home, he already would have had that operation.

[jamesholmes]

Not to long then and I doubt it was a secret. My own colleagues here, have informed me of the future that I will not, live to see if I leave.

Mine I have, known of for the last, century, but it will only occur in recent months in my colleagues time. [Confusing much? Yes.]

James Watson

[hullo_sweetie]

You couldn't have picked a more pertinent topic if you'd tried, my dear Watson. River's interest is piqued]

I happen to be an expert on this subject. In my own case, I guard my spoilers very carefully. You've probably seen Amy's message. The one about me being her daughter.

[It must seem bizarre. River clearly looks old enough to be Amy's mother and yet it's the other way around]

River Song

[jamesholmes]

[He was hoping her or one of the Doctor's would answer him considering that part of his dilemma they would better understand then himself.

And no that is hardly bizarre, mostly because of what he's seen.]

I was rather hoping you would answer Dr. Song, River, and yes I saw that message. Though it did only confirm my, suspicions, Rory Williams, who I assume is your father, gave me a few hints....

You guard them, for however you need to I take it?

James Watson

[hullo_sweetie]

[If he needs a lesson in timey wimey stuff, River and the Doctors are the very best]

Yes and when that secret came out it caused quite a fuss. My point is, you can do more harm by giving someone foreknowledge then you realize.

And things are a bit different here. Whoever you have foreknowledge of, even if you warn them, they won't remember when and if they return to your world.

River Song

[jamesholmes]

[He's figured it out mostly though the one Helen still won't share it all with him so he may be picking their brain a lot.]

Oh I fully understand that, I do. Being dead and learning of a future I will not experience is trouble enough. But knowing of a future you will live? Quite a different thing entirely.

And yes, so Nikola has told me, as has others. It is not so much wishing to warn this person of it, I have been sitting on this for the last century after all, just, a thought to perhaps give this person some, hope that it is not all dreary and hope is lost.

james watson;

[longaevus]

Of course. Would you prefer that to be in person?

helen magnus

[jamesholmes]

[There is a pause and the sound of glass breaking here, followed by muffled cursing for a moment.]

If you would not mind? It would be, easier to explain in person.

And I am fine, I merely knocked a glass over, my work bench is not as large as I am used to.

james watson;

[longaevus]

Of course not, I'll be there momentarily. Your room?

[ She will investigate that on her arrival ]

helen magnus;

[jamesholmes]

Yes that would be the best place to, show you as well. [Sorry he's sounding frazzled here, his little glass accident seems to have caused a problem.]

[ar0se]

around here it doesnt really matter whether you tell them or not
even if they do find out they wont remember it when they go back
so nothing will change

[jamesholmes]

Nothing back home will not change no, but here? Such, information could lead to, a rather significant change in ones relationship with someone.

[ar0se]

if a relationships all youre concerned about then its up to you
i try not to spoil the future for my friends just on principle
but if they ask directly i wont lie about it
that would just make things worse

[jamesholmes]

Indeed it would. I do agree and as the person does not know that I know, then I do think I can avoid that. Thank you.
