[Early enough in the morning that it's clear someone couldn't get back to sleep, a series of doodles appear on the page: they're Sally's best estimate of the floor plan of her apartment, with little rudimentary sketches of furniture in various placements. Over the span of a half hour, several are drawn with different configurations and crossed out before one ends up circled. A check mark is drawn next to it for good measure.

She was too lazy to get out of bed and find real scrap paper, but she figured no one would care.

Much later in the morning, at a reasonable hour, Sally makes a voice recording.]


Right. I've got a question, much as I hate to ask it: since I've been a bit of a dosser when it comes to actually talking to people since I've come here, what with the rampant madness of...everything, and being busy with a few things, I've run short of friends who're willing to do me favors. That being said, I've several articles of heavy furniture that need to be moved up seven flights of stairs.

My usual find-help-moving-house tactic of offering free beer and crisps is moot here, but if there's anyone who can help me out, I'd be happy to negotiate some sort of payment. A favor in return, or something. As I said, I wouldn't ask, but...well. Some of you lot have magic and super strength, and I'm just a regular copper with one very slightly weak ankle. [A self-deprecating laugh that's a little more rueful than she intended. Sally really hates asking for help, but she also really wants her flat not to look like a room in a mental institution, so something had to give.] Thanks, everyone.

[In the afternoon, Sally can be found poking around the item shop, looking for home decorating items and some things she's hoping will show up from her world, and in the evening she'll be at the library doing some cursory research of other worlds and waiting for something interesting to jump out at her.]

Now why would you go and move up on the seventh floor if you've got a very slightly weak ankle?

[Normally, he'd not offer this, but he's seen enough of Sally so far on the journals that doing a favor isn't going to hurt. That and it's something to do.]

I could do it. What building will it be going to?

If ya still need a hand, I can help out.

[Maybe he doesn't have super strength, but he's strong enough to manhandle people bigger than him. Besides, he's bored.]

I'm pretty sure we've never met, but I can promise I won't break anything.

[Don's journal is lying open nearby as he assembles the picnic things, and he hears this message. He supposes that moving furniture for smart women wouldn't be such a terrible habit to get into.]

Hi. Tortuga Brothers Moving Service. Hauling Luceti's furniture since about two years ago, though not very often. Will work for pizza. I'd give you a business card but I never made any.

[Sherlock Holmes has become something of a familiar figure in the item shop. Natural result of a bored consulting detective who wants to make sure his things-- especially his case-trophies-- wind up in his possession.

This afternoon, the plastic box he carts between the shop and 2-21 is relatively empty. A small piece of cardboard makes a barrier between one third of the box and the rest. On the larger side, two sets of bedding have been carefully folded and forced into the space. Cream and beige and brown. Neutral colours but not greyscale. He isn't sure if John will want one, but it won't hurt to take both. On top of the bedding is a book-- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlet. On the other side of the barricade, there are... building supplies. Hammers, a saw.

He is still picking through shelves, examining small objects to determine ownership. Most, he sets back down almost as soon as he's touched them.]

[Sherlock isn't the only one taken to stalking the item shop recently. With plans of a private laboratory in motion, she's become especially wary of any equipment which may have arrived.

Today, it seems, holds some luck. Although an ultraviolet light, osteological measuring equipment, forceps, and a few more beakers comprise the most of the laboratory equipment she's been able to find and carefully stow in a corner with her name attached for later claiming, it is the small collection of artifacts that really catch her attention. And the sturdy shelve system not too far away. Only a sample of what she owns - both in her office and in her own apartment - but it is a start.

What really might catch Sally's attention is the ape skull in Brennan's hands.

No, but I've seen you around the journals and you may have seen me. My name is Leonhardt.

I know my appearance is quite distinct here. But if you wish the help, I can do it alone as long as you don't object to the use of a strange ability.

[Said ability is the fact that he can make clones of himself that have most of his strength. Definitely handy to help move.]
immamartillo: (Curious)

[This time there is a hint of genuine surprise in his voice.]

How'd you know?

Hey, you're the one doin' me a favor. It gets boring here after a while.

I guess I'm just not used to people pointin' it out; this is the first time I've left the country. Where are you from?

Like what?

It won't. It is merely an ability that allows me to make what would be called shadows, which are basically duplicates of myself.
