Hi Luceti. Another newcomer here.

[For once in a great while Luceti - a New Feather understands the concept of the Journals and doesn't spend their first post making a great fuss over how to work it. Nope! James Moriarty - or as he will be going by until further notice - James Milverton knows exactly what to do.

He has a soft voice, pleasant to listen to with a bit of an Irish lilt to it.

He starts off by just smiling into the camera and waving. Right off the bat, James looks as if he's had a hell of a first day. He's got stitches on his head, right around the hairline; a bruise on his cheek that's now a lovely mishmash of purple and red; a split lip on the right side and a ring of dark bruises around his neck. James doesn't look like he'd make for a very good fighter so any assumptions that this is the result of him being beaten up won't insult him in the least. Because that's what has happened.

At least he's out of his New Feather garb! He's wearing things he just picked up at the shop, none of it really looks right on him. But they're clothes - he's not complaining.

On the outside at least.]

I was just looking through the Guide last night - really helpful stuff, whoever made this thing I'm really quite grateful for that so...thanks. But yes, I was looking through it and I wanted to ask a little further about the things you were wearing popping up in the shop.

Does that include jewelry? Things that aren't really yours but...what you were wearing at the time?

Just wondering.

[He looks a bit.... hesitant to bring this next subject up. But he's forcing himself to be brave about it. (Ain't it sad folks?) He takes a gulp, steadies himself and makes himself say it.]

I-If you were wondering about the...bruises and stuff auhm -- that was from the guy I woke up with. Tall, dark hair, English, blue eyes - if that helps. If that description rings any bells....who is he? I never caught a name, he was too busy -- [He gestures to the ring of bruises around his neck. They look like fingers.]

Anyway. He has a doctor friend: short, light hair, English as well. Actually saved my life last night, along with the help of Ms. LeBlanc.

If you're listening by the way - thank you, really. The stitches are holding nicely -- I think.

The reason I'm bringing this up is to just ask if anyone knows where they're living around here? I want to try and avoid them as much as possible. Luceti isn't really big enough to do that but I think if I can just...not go some places, I'll be alright.

Well that concludes this first post! Yaaaaay. [He does a mock celebration dance, wiggling where he's seated and chuckles afterwards. Embarrassed by himself, poor dear.]

Thanks for listening.

[Forgive him if he sounds a bit huffy now, Sally. That he's just telling you all this without asking for anything in return at the moment is a bit unnerving to him.]

M'name's James Milverton and I'm actually a professor at Queen's College in Cambridge. Science nerd and all that.

The doctor who stitched my head - Adele LeBlanc? She called the other doctor 'Arthur Dent' and he seemed rather confused. Is that a common thing here? People with the same face but not the same person?

[Okay, now she's just embarrassed.]

...God, all right; I'm sorry. Yeah, I guess it must be a common thing. I didn't mean to interrogate you; only you look exactly like this bloke from my world who - well, the less said about it, the better. If you were the same person, I don't know why you'd...well, it wouldn't make sense to you. Never mind. I'm sorry I got all stroppy at you.

Erm, are you all right now, though? No offense, but you look a bit rough.

Least you didn't try and kill me on sight.

[Yeah he won't be letting that go anytime soon.]

I'll be fine. Bruises really. Nothing I can't handle. [Nothing he hasn't handled before.]

What did they do anyways? This bloke that looks like me?

He didn't do anything, really; it's what the man who attacked you did. He committed a crime, or maybe a lot of crimes, and hired an actor who looks like you to help him cover up for it. He must be angry at the actor for giving up the charade, I suppose.

Oh, Christ.

That's....that's awful.

[How he manages to keep from laughing is a mystery even to James.]

Well. He's not right, Sherlock Holmes.

I'm not certain that's who attacked you, of course, but your description sounds just like him and his friend.

Sherlock Holmes.

[He sounds like he's making a mental note of that.]

I'd warn you to stay away from him... [She usually does.] I think you've got it covered, though. I know at least one police officer here besides myself, and we're not going to let him hurt anyone again.

Thanks, Sergeant.

Can I call you? I mean, if I see him again?

Of course. If you have a problem with anyone, please contact either of us. It's not as though we have any official power here, but we've at least a good idea how to deal with troublemakers.
