Case 10: The Mysterious Cake

[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

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.

Irony explosion in this tag

[inafadingcrown]

It would be most difficult to tell, then, if a new acquaintance were on a loss. Any here might be and without prior knowledge of them, one would never know.

Oh yes lol SO glad Elrond hasn't done a quick warning about her yet xD

[jamesholmes]

Yes it would be most difficult to tell. I know of a few I shocked with my loss, who had only met me as I presently am, and were...confused as to why I did not remember them. [Or in Alan's case took advantage of it.]

She will feel so bad about confusing the heck out of everyone later on

[inafadingcrown]

Hmm. [Oh!] Forgive me, I have not yet introduced myself. I am called Artanis.

Lol Elrond will clear it up when LJ behaves...if you like? XD

[jamesholmes]

[That gets her a laugh.] A pleasure Ms. Artanis, I am Doctor James Watson. Are you new to the castle?

I'm fine either way. Less explaining for her if he does. Probably still apologizing, though

[inafadingcrown]

Well met, Dr. Watson. I am quite new. I fear there is much here that I still do not understand.

Yeah that's what James just did lol It's only polite xD

[jamesholmes]

You will find that is a common thing here, understanding little of the world around. But what help I can be I will gladly give you.

[inafadingcrown]

Common it may be, but it is not to my liking. And you have my thanks for your offer, though I can think of little to ask at the moment.

[jamesholmes]

Nor is it to my own which is why I am willing to answer whatever you may think. Have you been to the library at all since your arrival?

[inafadingcrown]

I have. Fenris accompanied me there whilst we were searching for someone he believes to be of my world, the Lady Galadriel. [Lol, poor Fenris.]

It is a truly wondrous place, is it not?

[jamesholmes]

[Oh geez, James knows Fenris and can only imagine how that went.] And did you find her? If you are from her world then I imagine she would have an interest in you.

But it is, very much so. I spend some time in there when I am not busy with other things.

[inafadingcrown]

We did not. In truth, I have an interest in her, for her name has already been mentioned often in my short stay here. She is something of a mystery to me.

[jamesholmes]

[Oh boy, does that mean what he thinks it means? He hopes not, he really does.]

That is unfortunate as I do think she would like you, at least from what I have come to know of her.
