[jamesholmes]

[The voice coming over the journal today is slightly embarrassed sounding. Yup this is long over due and he's finally getting to it.I, would like to apologize to all who may have been harmed in the course of the loss I was under, not too long ago. The time, well let me only say I have changed since that me and my present self. Most notably to

That was better than Nikola's attempt. [ She's teasing, clearly, particularly knowing that he was planning to do this and none of it was easy ]

helen magnus;

[jamesholmes]

Only in that I did it yes? [Yes he knows that, and it wasn't easy really. But he had friends around that he needed to apologize to for the most part.]

james watson;

[longaevus]

I was referring to his previous attempt, but yes.

helen magnus;

[jamesholmes]

Ah yes well, you know as well as I, that at least I can swallow my pride long enough to make a proper apology.

[mal_addict]

That's okay, James. I have video evidence of you all for future blackmailing purposes, so it was a profitable loss for me.

[jamesholmes]

[He sounds, rather irritated at that news. Really Mal? REALLY?] May I ask why you thought it would be a wonderful idea to video tape myself for the purpose of extortion at a later date?

[mal_addict]

[Yes, really. It's a sign of affection. Mostly] Well, you never know when you need some good extortion material.

Because he needs to talk to her while she's little

[inafadingcrown]

[Sorry, James. She's a curious little thing and she's heard a lot about losses.]

Do these losses occur with great frequency?

He does and the other tags will come LJ's just being mean :/

[jamesholmes]

[It's all good, new voices are always good to him to hear! So have a less embarrassed James.]

More often then one may expect and to a greater degree to some then to others..

Don't worry about it. /punches LJ

[inafadingcrown]

And there is no way of anticipating them? [Oh, the irony of this conversation...]

Five reloads of the screen later.../punches LJ

[jamesholmes]

As far as I am aware no. I was not aware of, my loss for example, I had no memory of here during it either, only that I was, on the hunt for someone dangerous as were my colleagues.

[hullo_sweetie]

You were quite harmless. Very suspicious of me though.

[jamesholmes]

Terribly sorry about that. I rather do remember it, and at the time, you would have been a very good suspect for that case.

[hullo_sweetie]

Mm, sorry but the whole 'Jack the Ripper' case was already solved by an alien/human interspecies lesbian couple long before I came along.

I'm afraid the last Frost Fair is as close as I got to that time.

[So flippant. Like everything else she casually mentions]

[jamesholmes]

Perhaps in your world, but the case, and the murders that occurred ten years later? Were solved by myself and Helen.

[modernholmes]

So you've recalled yourself.

[jamesholmes]

Indeed I have. Terribly sorry about myself and Nikola.

[modernholmes]

Oh I wouldn't say that was needed. I learned some very interesting things.

[jamesholmes]

Oh did you now? [Conan would, James knows this, but he's curious what the young man knows.]
