[The camera flickers on, revealing John sitting up from being sprawled on the ground, holding his head. He groans, hissing to himself. From the grass around him, it looks like he's on the front lawn of the mansion. When he finally peeks through his fingers, the doctor notices the camera--likely his phone. He reaches for it, looking slightly perplexed when he realizes it's recording video--technology was never really his strong suit. He glances around, and when it's obvious he sees nothing familiar, he holds up the camera properly, looking into it with confusion, but resolve.]

This is John Watson, speaking. I'm currently in an unknown area and any sort of information would be... wonderful, thank you.

[The hinting of his military background dissolves slightly at the end of his request, and he gnaws at his lower lip as he observes his surroundings once more. Running a hand through his cropped hair, he mutters to himself;]

Well, one thing's for sure, this certainly isn't London...

[He then snorts in a self deprecating manner.]

Of course it isn't, John. Obvious deduction.

[He's speaking as if mimicking someone else chiding him, but the line of his mouth and the expression in his eyes is fond, if a bit sad, as he looks off. After a moment he remembers he's still on video. Clearing his throat, he fumbles with the phone uselessly a couple of times until the transmission finally shuts off.]

[He blinks, then gives a small but pleasant smile.]

For the good and bad of it. Yes, Sherlock is my friend and colleague. You a fan of his?

...I've met him. [Not sure about being a fan though.]

[John narrowly snorts back a laugh at the tone; those three words said it all. Sighing and getting a very good feeling where this was going, the doctor rubbed his forehead.]

...Not pleasant? Hope he behaved himself.

He's alright. [Yuu smiles a little. He's used to odd and difficult people.] Just not...that good with people, I guess?

[John can't resist smiling. Sherlock once questioned him about why other people's poor opinions about the detective upset him, and he never really explained why to the other man... but when other people at least try to understand Sherlock, John is slightly more at ease with the humanity surrounding the two of them.]

Yes, I dare say he is...

[After a moment, he clears his throat.]

How did the two of you meet?

We've just talked a couple times over the network. Once about something that was happening at the time, and the other time when he asked what had happened while he was gone.

[Still smiling, exasperated but fond.]

...That's Sherlock for you. I can't really hope that he was polite but I can only hope he wasn't a bully.

It wasn't too bad.

[He smiles a little.] I guess you two are pretty close.

I'm glad to hear it.

Yes, well, he does manage to find a way to occupy the majority of my free time... A fact which I'm sure he's quite pleased with himself for.

You'll both have plenty to do here. There are a lot of questions we don't have answers for.

Well, Sherlock will certainly be pleased.

He'll be busy at least.

[A beat.]

Oh! Um, my name's Yuu. I forgot to say so.

All the same to him. He's incorrigible when he's bored. Took a revolver to our wall because of it, once. Our landlady wasn't happy.

Pleased to meet you, Yuu. Feel free to call me John.

...He did what?

...

[Laughs]

Shot the wall. With my gun, I might add. Apparently the wall had it coming.

[Yuu is rethinking his stance on Sherlock.]

That...seems a little....

[Groping for the right word.]
