[video | a little trip down memory lane]

Nov 23, 2011 01:36

[Helena has nothing better to do, so she's taking a little trip down good old memory lane to pass the time. The subject? One of her favourite inventions, her rocket. The best part? It just so happens to coincide with an interesting case she and her partner at the time never were able to solve. And the best best part? This particular memory takes ( Read more... )

[ ... Just when she thought she had a slight idea to you, or had tried to. And then you blow her away. And mess with her history. She knew H.G., or so she now thought. And artefacts and the Warehouse? Her interest is highly piqued ]

Did you happen to discover 'his' next book?

...Pardon?

Your brother's.

[ And because this is clearly what happened to her: ] The community shared your thoughts.

Ah, yes. His story. [It practically kills her to talk about her brother in such a positive light and in regards to her work, but... he's gone now and she doesn't wish to speak ill of him.] He was unable to settle upon one single idea for a story, so he began work on a few short stories. I believe the one he'd been working on around that time was "In the Avu Observatory."

[Oh... bother. She just scrolled up to check and let out a string of curses because Helen was right.] I see. Thank you for letting me know.

Was that his or yours?

[ My, my... ] It occurred to me also several days ago.

It was... [hers] his. He was the genius author. I was merely his "envious younger sibling," jealous of his utter brilliance with the written word.

Oh, did it now? [She's going to go hunt down that post now, just saying.]

locked; longaevus November 24 2011, 00:27:23 UTC

Of course. [ Such a tone of disbelief.

And oh crap ]

[DON'T YOU DARE USE THAT TONE OF VOICE WITH ME, HELEN MAGNUS.] ...What? I've no reason to lie.

locked; longaevus November 24 2011, 00:39:59 UTC

[ What tone? ] Despite your memories that I've seen.

It's possible for people to have false memories floating about in their mind based upon what they believe happened rather than what actually has. The truth of a particular memory is difficult to judge.

locked; longaevus November 24 2011, 00:45:44 UTC

Perhaps, but I have heard that the community enjoys posting what we would prefer to remain hidden. There's no sense for it to reveal a false memory. [ There's no sense in any of it, she already knows that ]

locked; thesleeperwakes November 24 2011, 00:49:05 UTC

There's no sense for it to reveal private matters at all, no matter whether or not it's true.

locked; longaevus November 24 2011, 00:54:10 UTC

There isn't, no. But the truth is a little easier to detect than you may think. [ Not that she can do that, except intuition... and picking up a few tricks from Sherlock Holmes ]

locked; thesleeperwakes November 24 2011, 01:11:22 UTC

Well, then. What do you believe is the truth, then? Since, as you say, it's "easy to detect."

locked; longaevus November 24 2011, 01:14:11 UTC

Easier. But I believe that more of that memory is true than what you would care to admit. [ She believes in extraordinary women of that time, remember ]

locked; thesleeperwakes November 24 2011, 01:21:15 UTC

It's quite possible that you're correct.
