[Video starts with a view of the ground that turns up to show Sherlock's face as he handles it.]

-ill the same model. Then again, time does stand still here. Same features--ah, recording light. No bother; hello, Wonderland. Let's make this simple, shall we? I want detailed information about everything that has happened since I was last here left at my doorstep. Room 21 on the second floor. I trust it has been left vacant.

All previous informants are expected to report in a timely fashion.

For those of you with bad memories or who have arrived since my departure, I am Sherlock Holmes. If that name sounds familiar, don't worry, you're not going crazy but neither am I a fictional detective from the 19th century. Accept that I am who I say I am, accept that I will meet if not exceed the expectations you have formed from that fictional association, and tell me everything you can about the things you've discovered since your arrival.

[Sherlock ends the transmission quickly. He's busy now.]

[Hey guess what, leaving you a message anyway. Mainly because today is not a great day for him and he's not leaving his room kthx.]

...I'm not actually sure when you left.

[not_a_hero]

When is now?

[last_liar]

Early February. Um...the sixth or seventh.

[not_a_hero]

Information dating back as far as October will be sufficient. Overlap will only help affirm my own recollection.

[last_liar]

October, huh. I can get some notes for you, I think. I know someone who keeps them, usually.

You had a room last I was here; you may return to it.

Ah, yes. That fiasco. Still, things seem to be functioning in general the same way since then.

Mister Holmes!

[Admittedly, she's a little surprised to see him. It's certainly been some time since he first disappeared.]

How long have you- How long has it been for you? Being away from here?

video;

[last_liar]

More or less. There were some...weird things around Christmas.

Miss Carnahan. I expect you've been observant. I will require a quick but concise report.

As far as the duration of my absence, for me it was nearly fifteen months. Not even half that has passed here. Quite an interesting development in this case.

Enterprising youth.

Weird isn't very descriptive. Weird in what way?

video;

[last_liar]

There were rips in the air. If we went through them, we could go to our own worlds, but there was no one there.

video;

[not_a_hero]

Interesting. I expect a full, detailed account.

Doesn't miss a beat, does he?

[Louder, with video:]

Most recently? The Twins have been out on this side of the mirrors. Telling fortunes.
And we've had another violent event.

Then what?
