That didn't take long, did it?

[ Unsurprisingly, Kate sounds tired to some extent. What is surprising, to her at least, is that she isn't as tired as she had anticipated being after finally being cured of her mania. No longer are her words bursting with vigor, her voice tempered and quiet. ]

Something was bound to happen not too long after imPorts began to show up here again. [ A beat. ] Just like the City. I wonder what comes next.

[ There are footsteps in the background, padded and soft; not hers, for anyone with good ears. ]

The more things change, the more they stay the same, hm? A pessimistic expression, I'm aware. Maybe I need to change it up a little for my own pleasure. Familiarity is nice, but repetition gets boring quickly. [ Another pause. ] The fifties was known for its experimentation with culture and style.


[ PRIVATE to FELICIA HARDY, RICK BRADBURY & TROY BARNES ]

I owe you an apology.

Everything all right, Ms. Kane? Sorry I'm late to the game, something came up.

[ But apparently he's missed a lot. ]

we both win / about twenty minutes after

[gevurah]

[ She didn't expect a late response to this, so her surprise is easy to pick up when she answers. ]

Fine. Never better. [ A pause. ] Everything alright on your end?

The fifties were known for the Cold War shaping up, The Suez Crisis, and sideburns.

Question is, would these things happen if we are here or not.

[gevurah]

[ Oh, it's him. Talk about awkward. ]

Most likely. imPorts didn't arrive until the late eighties.

[Don't worry Kate, Mycroft won't mention it until you've forgotten about the whole thing and he needs to prove a point.]

Then we have to wonder what's going on now that requires it.

perma audio

[gevurah]

[ You Holmes brothers and your need to prove a point. ]

Have you tried Holiday?

perma video woot

[fraternalism]

[It's a natural state of being.

And he would try Holiday but Mycroft's spoken to him regarding other things, he knows he won't get an answer from that one over something like this. Takes one to know one etc.]

I would if I felt he would answer the question. Perhaps the next time I talk with him I'll bring it up.

[gevurah]

[ She sticks to books and archives for now. Until that proves fruitless, then maybe it's time to don the cowl. It tends to be more persuasive. ]

Do you think he will the next time?

[youbastard]

At least we were prepared. [For something to go wrong.] Do you mind me asking what happened?

audio

[gevurah]

The virus strain. People behaving oddly.

[ Herself included, but she's not going to say that. Maybe. ]

audio;

[abadidea]

[Okay, that's something he hadn't quite heard yet.]

You were transported from...that other world too? And things like that happened there as well? [That's not good at all.]

audio

[gevurah]

I was.

A lot of things happened there. Sometimes it was people suddenly aging up or down, or aliens attacking, or being turned into animals.

[Voice]

[heartstings]

I think we all kind of expected it on some level.

audio

[gevurah]

So, what's next? Magic running amok again?

[heartstings]

Wouldn't be surprised. We have a few magic users around, don't we

[gevurah]

Maybe more given the Porter.

[heartstings]

Well, long as we don't end up kids again it's all cool.

[gevurah]

We could always start leaving post-it notes for ourselves in the event of that happening.

[heartstings]

Walls of post-its, yeah that's the way to go.

[gevurah]

You gotta get creative sometimes.

[heartstings]

Not sure I'd call post-its creative.

[gevurah]

What would be?

[heartstings]

Strings. Whole wall of images and stuff with strings connecting them.

audio

[youbastard]

Right, and the very non-informative memo we got. [Or informative, depending on what pieces of information one took from it. There's a slight edge to her voice that she's trying to keep out.] I haven't heard much about it, have you?

audio

[gevurah]

[ She hears it, trying to determine why it's there in the first place. ]

Not lately. Might be done with.
