{Holmes is out and about in a blue gown he's worn previously, with no purse, parasol, or big fancy hat because accessories are for amateurs. He's quite convincing, though he looks about ten years older (early

{Late morning tea; Dinning Hall}

[so_meretricious]

{Ready to give Queen Victoria a run for her money in the dainty-tea-sipping category, Holmes is sitting primly with his tea (in a fancy cup) and a small, lightly buttered scone. If you've had a stern governess, the sight might be familiar.}

[Tea and scones, you say? And George, of course, can't resist the opportunity to have a chat with a Victorian-looking lady. They're in short supply on the Barge since Miss Poppins' exit. George tips his helmet to her.]

Good morning, ma'am.

{Early afternoon, Deck}

[so_meretricious]

{Thankfully the Barge isn't happening by a sun today, and his lack of parasol isn't hampering him. Careful of the edge from habit not that he does this often not at all despite the lack of wind, he leans only a bit on the railing, not paying attention to any passers-by.}

{Peeking in the Infirmary; late afternoon}

[so_meretricious]

{Still curious about this not-quite-but-so-very-close supposed Watson, Holmes takes a quick walk into the infirmary. He's in disguise, which makes him invisible, after all.}

[Though he's finding the futuristic technology (and a few of the people) in the infirmary frustrating, John's in his element when he's at work. He smiles and hums while he's checking notes, then spots the older woman as she comes through the door.

He doesn't recognise her, but then again, everybody's new to him.]

Hello. Can I help you?

{Peeking in the Infirmary; late afternoon} - Sorry for the late; finally able to login

[so_meretricious]

{Well. He wasn't expecting to be noticed so quickly.}

I...haven't had an occasion to come by here, and it seemed best that I know where the ward was located.

{If that sounds fishy, that's because it is. Though in honesty he really hasn't been here before.}

{Peeking in the Infirmary; late afternoon} - don't worry about it!

[drdaytimetelly]

Lucky you. Let's hope it stays that way. [John smiles, completely sincere - he's fallen for it hook, line, and sinker.]

Well. [He tucks the clipboard under his arm and looks about.] I'm Doctor Watson, and I'd be happy to show you around, Miss...?

{Art room, Early Evening}

[so_meretricious]

{Returning to his domain, Holmes decides he might work a bit on his latest portrait. He's wearing a white, lightly stained smock, because he's sensible like that. It's the portrait he started shortly after he first arrived here-that of a woman who doesn't look all that dissimilar from him, especially in his current attire. Her hair is a medium brown and her nose isn't as prominent, but otherwise the likeness is considerable.}

[Chromie HAS been practicing some art since her lessons with him before... but she hasn't improved much. It still looks like something a kid with crayons would do. So jelus of this shiz :C. She speaks softly so as not to startle the artist.]

It's lovely.

{Art room, Early Evening}

[so_meretricious]

{Holmes works as though he hasn't heard, though he definitely has. Eventually he replies, as though no time has lapsed at all.}

It might prove itself to be my best. Time will tell.

{His eyes do not stray from the canvas or his paints, even as he speaks.}

{Art room, Early Evening}

[strangehstorian]

[Well okay, that was a dismissal. But this is a rare bird here - dragons have been changing shape as long as anyone can remember, and they can always pick each other out no matter what guise they're in. Sometimes it works on the Barge, too. Not without error, though - she's not quite sure.]

Why her? If I may ask.

{Level Five Common Room For Once; Evening}

[so_meretricious]

{He's almost never been in here, so his venture is partly out of curiosity. Also because one of the couches in here goes splendidly with his outfit.}
