Case 1 - The Mystery of the Missing Paperwork

[The video turns on to a pair of shoes. They're rather nice shoes and there's a plump english bulldog sitting right beside them. But what's important here is the voice attached to these shoes. It belongs to a certain John Watson.]

What do you mean you don't have the paperwork? I spent months filling out forms to get an intentional wormholing to

[John wasn't really paying attention until he heard a familiar name. Then he sees a face that's not quite as familiar, but still one he recognizes.]

He's definitely still on board. I imagine you'll be hearing from him soon, if you haven't already.

Welcome to the Thor again, Dr. Watson.

[bakerst_doctor]

Ah yes, the other Dr. Watson. Thank you.

[For the welcome and especially the reassurance that Holmes is still there.]

[holmes_blogger]

Please, call me John. Otherwise it's going to get even more confusing around here than it is already.

Re: [Video]

[bakerst_doctor]

Alright, John then. Holmes seems to be on his way, he's already made sure to tell me that I'm late.

[He has a wry expression mentioning that but it's reassuring that his old friend is as insufferable as ever.]

[John can't help laughing at that.]

Sherlock said the same thing to me when I arrived.

I'm sure Holmes will be very glad to see you.

Re: [Video]

[bakerst_doctor]

It seems to be a trait they share, then.

I hope Holmes hasn't been too much of a burden for you, John.

Re: [Video]

[holmes_blogger]

One of many, I'm afraid.

[Hmm, how to answer that diplomatically? Watson can probably guess how much of a burden Holmes can be.]

No more than you would expect.

Re: [Video]

[bakerst_doctor]

You would be surprised by what I expect from him.

I can only imagine what it must be like playing nursemaid to Sherlock Holmes's. I'll gladly take mine off your hands.

Re: [Video]

[holmes_blogger]

I would say nothing he could do would surprise me, but he'd probably take that as a challenge. At least neither of them has set anything on fire recently.

Re: [Video]

[bakerst_doctor]

Undoubtedly, he does so enjoy defying ones expectations.

He hasn't shot up the walls working on that silencing device, has he?

Re: [Video]

[holmes_blogger]

Not recently. I think I've convinced him that shooting the walls whilst in outer space would be a bad idea.

Or perhaps he's just been distracted with other experiments.

Re: [Video]

[bakerst_doctor]

I'd lay odds on it being the latter. He doesn't always behave with self preservation as his top priority.

Re: [Video]

[holmes_blogger]

Yes, I've noticed that. Sherlock is exactly the same.

... Once you get settled in, I may have a job offer for you.

Re: [Video]

[bakerst_doctor]

Oh? I'd be glad to hear it.

Re: [Video]

[holmes_blogger]

We'll talk later then.

And speaking of settling in... They'll assign you a room, if they haven't already, but you're also welcome to stay in the rooms Sherlock, Holmes, and I are sharing.

[Might as well offer, since Holmes will probably just assume Watson is going to be staying there.]

Re: [Video]

[bakerst_doctor]

[A slight cough, and Watson at least has the decency to look awkward about this.]

Holmes already invited me. I hope it isn't an imposition on you.
