WHO: Eddie Morra and Sherlock Holmes
WHAT: An arrival and subsequent exploration.
WHEN: Late afternoon
WHERE: Outside the Grand Library, to start.
RATING: TBD
STATUS: In Progress

Eddie had been in Colligo just under two hours. In that time he had managed to read through the message board to figure out what was going on, get his $100 from the bank, invest in a warm coat and some cheap gloves, and get a cup of coffee. Now ready to face the cold, he headed outside with the full intention of going to the apartment number and address he'd received shortly after turning on his free gift from the guards. Even with his accelerated thinking, Eddie had to admit to being quite blown away by what was going on. As of yet he had no reason to doubt it was all very much real yet the part of his mind that relied on logic, statistics, and figures said it was practically impossible.

Then again, this would not be the first time he'd seen the near impossible become reality in the blink of an eye. His lips curved upward a bit at the thought, his attention cutting to the left and the library he'd arrived through earlier. Eddie was about to turn to go the other way, following directions of a map he'd caught a quick glimpse of as he'd walked past a shop with one hanging in the window as a display, when he spotted someone making their way up the walkway to the library in question. Pausing, he examined the scene with a quick eye before making his way toward the person, spurred by a hunch that he knew was right. Which was precisely why he didn't pose it as a question but rather a casually stated observation.

"I was starting to think I'd never come across someone who wasn't from here."

Sherlock couldn't help the pride that flickered across his expression. He was certain that he would never get tired of hearing people say that they were a fan of his since up until his arrival here the only fans he'd had had turned out to be psychotic killers. God, he really hoped that this guy didn't turn out to be a psychotic killer. He certainly seemed to have the bombastic personality that it would have taken, what with all the smiling, but Sherlock wasn't going to condemn the man just because he was grinning like a lunatic.

"I get that a lot," Sherlock said, quirking a more reserved grin of his own at Eddie before chuckling under his breath. "Or, well, at least I do here. Back home, it's mostly restricted to John and Jim. Possibly Lestrade, but he's so tetchy about asking for help he'd probably never admit it."

With a shrug as if everything he'd just said didn't really matter, Sherlock chuckled again, a dry, humorless, sort of chuckle as he shrugged again, "And you can go right ahead. You're not going to say anything to me that I haven't already heard several times over from my brother, I'm certain."
