Attention celebrators of Bonfire Night! I will be hosting Bonfire night at Ronan's farm, and I've been told the go-karts will be running that night as well.

Johnny Storm has graciously agreed to light our bonfire with himself, and I would love it if we had one or two magical types (I'm looking at you Albus) could ensure that the fire itself won't scorch or burn anything in the area. We're not looking to start a brush fire that destroys the town. If there's anyone magical or fireworks-inclined that wouldn't go amiss either.

The only thing missing is a chill in the air and a hot apple cider. (Rest assured there will be beverages and snacks. Volunteers for this would be lovely as well.)

Yes, well, when you put it that way, I can see how it might be problematic if you're sensitive about that sort of thing. We all have our hang-ups. The real struggle comes in trying to overcome them.

I don't know about my life after death? No, not really. The Doctor's not particularly chatty about that sort of thing. His human hybrid counterpart told me once that he uploaded my consciousness into the data core of the Library. So assuming I don't spend the rest of my borrowed existence bouncing from portal destination to portal destination, I have that to look forward to.

	I'm in therapy. My therapist is one of us. I mean, one of the Displaced. Professor Xavier, do you know him? Do you want to know? Because it gives a hint of what happens with you at the end of the episode. I could tell you, or if you'd rather watch it yourself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"The Displaced." Is that what we're calling ourselves? It's very appropriate. No, I've not heard of anyone by that name. I'm woefully unfamiliar with most of the residents here. Is it helping? Have you watched your show? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's what somebody told me, yeah. I guess so. It's good to get things off my chest, sometimes, though I've been through therapy before, back home. No, I haven't. I'm nervous about what I'll see. Sherlock has also warned me about Googling ourselves. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I have surprised even myself with my restraint in that regard. I have fully succumbed to the power of Google but have yet to search for my name. I'm normally quite unstoppable when it comes to looking for myself amongst stories of the Doctor. Is reading better than watching, do you think? Perhaps we should implement the buddy system with respect to our fictional selves. If you do decide to watch, you must have a buddy for moral support. And someone to laugh at yourself with.

'Googling yourself' has such dirty undertones.

Personally, reading helps to give me a bit more emotional distance. Often, what's given is just a cold summary of what happened. Watching yourself, hearing the voices, can bring up all sorts of memories and feelings that might sting.

That's not such a bad idea. Maybe one of the rules should be that the buddy or buddies watching with you can't be from the same universe as yours. Reduce the risk of embarrassment?

It's remarkably close to ogling yourself, which, I suppose, is practically the same thing. I'm mostly curious how much of my time with the Doctor has found its way onto the show.

Embarrassment isn't any concern of mine, but I can understand how it might be for some. I'm curious that you anticipate embarrassment more in the presence of your fellow universe mates than strangers.

	Truthfully, I haven't been keeping up with your show for a while. I stopped after I was deployed and didn't back into it, so I'm not up to date. I couldn't tell you how much of you was there. I'd be embarrassed by strangers, too. But somehow, you're not that much of a stranger. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think Sherlock might've already read. The other Sherlock, not mine. Could you retroactively make it private? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yes, well, it's in his nature to be a nosy bugger, isn't it? There is nothing untoward to what you said, only an expression of discomfort in the degree to which fans for your fictional self are invested in your relationship with Sherlock. It's an entirely understandable reaction to have.

I don't see why not.

[OOC: Rather than taking the time to mess around with it, River just uses her sonic screwdriver to hack into the Network and make the conversation private.]

	He's Sherlock. He was able to read between the lines. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're assuming he has any interest in the affairs of his multidimensional counterpart. He seems more aloof than I would have thought. Perhaps it's something to do with uprooting the character from his Victorian origins. (Reply to this) (Parent)
