[Day 236] Video/Action/OTA
[It's really only through luck that everything is steady and not like being moved up and down or side to side with his fiddling of the earpiece, but after the incident that was Helen and her weird future communications device he's learned not to mess too much with things. Well, sorta kinda ish, at least he hasn't messed with the thing on his leg.

But the video turns on to one bearded English gentleman standing in front of a weeping willow and he's standing rather steady-ish as he talks because he's not sure how these things work and if jostling it will do something weird to it.
]

Last I checked removing a gentleman's clothes and hat was exceptionally rude and not really the best way to insure he is willing to stay in your attempt at a prison. [If he doesn't sound all that pleased, well he's not. At least for a brief moment before he sighs and brushes his hair down.]

But I suppose not everyone has Scotland Yard's sensibilities when it comes to the well fare of it's prisoners nor it's taste in what to give them to wear. Even Lestrade is kinder and I have yet to meet someone as rude as he can be in his line of work. [He pauses to do what amounts to a huff before fixing his hair again because he lacks a proper jacket to mess with and really how rude can you people get giving him a bright orange jumpsuit without a jacket.]

But be that as it may, I suppose I should ask if there is anyone here by the name of Helen, with a similar accent to my own. Blond or brunette, I know two women that share the name and accent and I wouldn't mind speaking to either nor to anyone that knows of them. Or someone who happens to know a different woman from my Helen's [It really sounds weird to say that.] we can discuss similar traits in such ladies if you prefer.

[Okay so that's not the best way to go about introducing himself to people but he doesn't really care especially as he totally forgot to actually introduce himself whoops. This is all said by the way, from Sector 3 where he's been wandering about before settling in near the weeping willow if anyone feels up to poking him there.]

You're a friend of Helen's? Helen Magnus?

Doctor Helen Magnus, yes. [Please excuse the correction, it just comes out from force of habit.] So she's here then?

[ of all the things she was expecting today, seeing this particular person pop up on the communicators -- and that particular age, as it is -- was not one of them. for a moment, she freezes, unable to believe her eyes. it's like a trick of some sort, someone's idea of a practical joke.

but no. it's a newbie day.

and it's perfectly logical for him to be here. ]

[...Wow, Helen. Aren't you happy he can't read your mind right now, because wow. He loves you too.

But okay squinting, squinting, dark hair check. Knows him, okay good.

And not asking how he knows she goes that hair color, okay then.

Well I'm either James or some contraption of Nikola's to look like me. [Yes, yes it's him.]

[Martha's face springs up on the screen with a sympathetic smile. Her British accent is apparent the moment she speaks]

Sorry mate. They removed all our clothes. You can get new ones at any of the shops, and if there's something really special, you might be able to ask for it from the kiosk.

There is a Helen here. She has been kind enough to allow me to volunteer at the clinic she runs.

[You are so lucky he supports Helen being a doctor, Martha, otherwise he'd be so judging you right now.

But okay he's so going to chuckle a bit.
]

Of course she's doing something like that. I've already talked with her. [Scratching his beard.] You're a doctor yourself?

I don't think anyone is particularly pleased with the orange jumpsuits, but luckily there are several shops with alternatives available. [Thus his three piece suit.]

I'm afraid I don't know a Helen, though. Sorry.

[SIR YOU ARE A GOD SEND.]

It's a bit of a shock, I'm far more used to more than a single layer and it's rather annoying to put it lightly. [But that's a smile now.]

It's alright it seems I've found her however, thank you though.

She's a wonderful woman, assuming of course you mean Helen Magnus, who seems to be rather popular here.

I am only familiar with one Helen within the prison, a Doctor Magnus.

[ Yes Jean-Luc, familiar is a good word for whatever is not going on between you and Helen. And he didn't miss how the word 'my' came before her name either. But as for introductions. ]

Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

[His Helen is a blond and about 200 years more innocent then yours, Picard, don't worry.

And familiar though, oh that's always a good way of catching his interest because he's rather good at word play himself so he's a little more curious now.
]

Doctor James Watson, sir, and it's a pleasure. [Now how far does he want to push this on a first chat...] Familiar with her? May I ask as to exactly what you mean by that? I'm her cousin, and I'm curious as to who she's associating with.

[James Watson you liar. Helen is so going to kill him for this.]

Your mistake is assuming that our Wardens cared about rude.

[ Eric sounds bored. It's a default tone of voice for him. ]

There's a brunette. She works at the clinic. However, I've no idea if she's your Helen.

[He can pretend people care about being polite, it's a default state for him.]

A brunette, which would mean she might be her. [He'll play along.] Though in a manner of speaking she's only mine in her being family, so if her name is Helen Magnus, Doctor Helen Magnus, I'd like to know if you know her.

[ Lestrade. Well that name certainly caught his attention - his curiosity is piqued, but he sets it aside for a moment to address more immediate concerns. ]

Those who oversee the facility do not appear to be concerned with the way in which they are perceived, nor are they generally receptive to the input of their "inmate" population.

[ A small tilt of his head, then a nod. ]

Lieutenant Commander Data. I am acquainted with a Doctor Helen Magnus.

[The first thing that catches his eye is Data doesn't look normal, but he's to polite (and far to used to his work with Helen) to comment on it but he stores it away for later asking. The next thing he notes is his rank, stores that away for later, and nods.]

She has quite the collection of acquaintances here, Lieutenant Commander, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Doctor James Watson, her cousin.

[ The name Lestrade certainly rings a few bells and with his secret people-I-know-from-fiction-bingo he's got going, there's no way he can pass up on replying. ]

I'm afraid this place can be a bit of a culture shock. [ Reassuring smile. ] I'm Doctor Spencer Reid. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to try and answer them.

[GOOD, someone who can comment on that is actually really something he'd like.]

I'm Doctor James Watson, it's good to meet another doctor here. [And okay so maybe by now he does have a question.] This may seem odd, however from who I've spoken with already, would you happen to have even a rough idea of when exactly people are from?

[When, not where.]

[ blonde or brunette. how interesting. such a descriptor indicates that doctor magnus, should this man be as familiar with her as he claims, frequently changes hair colors. perhaps this is more of a standard practice on earth, but it seems odd to someone in seven's position, who has spent eighteen years of her life as a drone, and the latter two on board a starship where dye would be a waste of replicator rations better used on food, clothing, or something else. ]

The only Helen present in this facility is Doctor Helen Magnus.

[Well as far as he's aware it's only the two hair colors, and it's not frequently (yet). But it is odd, even to him, because he just doesn't get why she would do that, though with one hundred odd years between them he's certain there's a reason. He hopes.]

That would be her, though the fact that she's the only Helen makes this search rather easy now. Are you a friend of hers? [He's slowly gathering that Helen knows a lot of people here.]

Loath as I am to say such a thing— [ complimenting the wardens is a rather revolting notion ] —this prison is not so much of an affront to its inmates' collective welfare as one would expect. [ a brief memory of squall, of what could well have progressed into a dance with death, before he shuts it down in favor of less personally painful memories— instead, he thinks of prisoners of his house tortured at his hand or forced into gladiator matches and slaughtered. much more soothing! ]

Inconsiderate and more than infuriating at times, indeed— but, strangely, I've seen no torture and heard of little death. [ the fact that he considers a lack of torture to be strange probably says something about him. it's definitely not a great thing. ]

[That's a rather low standard for how nice this place is, even by James's standards. Like okay maybe he takes certain things for granted but wow.]

And that's how you determine comfort? No torture and little death, your home must be [hell] rather odd compared to some or even most here if those are your standards.

[He's trying so hard to be polite here.]
