My name is Mycroft Holmes. Specifically, the Mycroft Holmes from BBC's Sherlock, not the U.S. version, Elementary.

Yes, I'm aware there are multiples of people present, including two pairs of Sherlocks and Watsons, and yes, I've been doing my research. There's not much else to do whist in quarantine.

For any interested parties, I was previously in Preya before I was brought to Tumbleweed.

As I write, I ought to be released from quarantine in approximately 29 hours from now. Neither my flat from London nor Preya has appeared with me, but I've been told something has been arranged. I do hope it's adequate. All that remains is to secure some sort of gainful employment which isn't too mundane.

	We dodged that bullet in Twelve-A, but I understand it was an ugly time. Travel to Twelve-B was banned for the duration and for good reason. That's a broad question. I have the general foundation. A good working knowledge is expected in my line, but I specialize in spirit traveling and interworld studies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not familiar with these terms, 'Twelve-B' and 'Twelve-B'. Please explain. Did your studies prepare you for coming here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The prevailing theory is that the Related Worlds all began as one. Sometime in prehistory a major catasrophe occurred - or didn't occur - and the first split began. The resulting worlds later split again as history took one path or another, and clustered into Series of worlds. In Twelve-A, the focus turned heavily toward magic. Twelve-B went industrial. They have hardly any magic there. It's a bit like this Earth, from all I can gather, at least up until the mid-fifties. I don't know beyond that. Napolean conquered Europe in Twelve-C. They speak nothing but French. There are nine known worlds in Series Twelve, and eleven other Series. It's a bit like a deck of cards, if all the worlds are cards and the Series suits - alikpe, but different. Twelve-A was home, but I've acclimatized.

The other Sherlock, not yours, asked me a similar question once. No, the existence of the Displaced and Tumbleweed break all the known rules. I know people who would jump at the chance to study it ~~or exploit~~.

	An interesting theory, albeit Earth-centric. Unless there's a proto-planet that is even before your known home? Are they present in Tumbleweed? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Until I arrived here, it fit the available facts. Oh there are several here who fit the description, myself included. The ones I was thinking of are all occupied back home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I rather like the prospect. And you, along with others, had the capacity of crossing between these worlds. Anything we need to concern ourselves over? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Along with others, although there aren't many as capable. Doctor Paul Simonton poses a grave danger of boring one to death over dinner, but the last old-style evil enchanter was defeated over a century ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Ha!~~ How amusing. I've been unfortunate enough to have known a number of individuals such as your Doctor Simonton. Such as it is with politics. What was your occupation in your world? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Where politics meets academic obsession it only grows worse. Magician, spirit traveler, opera aficionado, civil servant, general prodigal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've never had the grave misfortune of spending too long a time with academics, but when I have I've always left the exchange reaching for a strong drink. Which is your favorite opera? I wonder if your world has the same ones as mine? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The contemplation of it has rather the same effect now. loop In some cases yes. In some, no. I'm very fond of the Magic Flute by Mozart, but I don't believe you have Dreschler's Josephine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It must've been horrendous.

Joseph Drechsler? There is a composer by that name, Bohemian born. His works are not as well known today, but he performed along with the likes of Beethoven.

A shame that we live in such a small town that doesn't have an opera house, what to speak of a ballet or orchestra. I'm quite fond of the grandeur of Turandot, and the music of Puccini's La bohème.

	Ours was named Friedrich. I don't believe his doubles ever quite found their niches in most worlds. He is far more celebrated in Twelve-A. A young lady of my acquaintance absolutely adored his works. Puccini - might you mean Pettrochi? Brilliant Tuscan magician, said to have the ear of an angel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private brother_mine 2017-11-15 02:18 am UTC (link)
	I'm beginning to understand what you mean about the tiny differences between worlds, which you mentioned before. May I ask who was this young lady with whom you were acquainted. Not a relative, or you would've identified her as such. But somebody closer than a mere friend? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private septman 2017-11-15 10:54 am UTC (link)
	Most have a double in each world in their series. The differences can range from small to influential. We've a rather poor Austrian painter by the name of Hitler, as well. She was a coworker. Once upon a time, it seemed there might have been more, but life intervened. That was some time ago even in Twelve-A. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I suppose that these multiple versions of people from other universes wasn't a surprise at all for you. WWII did not occur in Twelve-A? I see. Life has a rude habit of doing that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yes and no. It shouldn't be possible for them to be in the same world simultaneously, let along meet. At least not according to the rules as previously known.

Not to mention, I met a gentleman who appeared to know a double of mine in another world, and that shouldn't be possible ~~at all~~ outside of my series.

Neither of the world wars I've read about occurred.

C'est la vie!

	Either what you know is wrong, or there's something suspending the rules. Not much is known about this portal business. This sort of science is not my area, but I may do some reading up on the topic, to possibly get a better grip on the situation. No wars at all? Parlez-vous français?

It wouldn't be the first time the rules had been challenged. It's the sheer amount of magic required that staggers the mind. There are some scientists studying the topic, as well. Or there were. The elder Mr. Stark is gone, but the younger one may well have continued.

Oh, we've had our share, but none of the larger conflicts your world have experienced.

Mal. I brush up for diplomatic events, but I generally play second to others on those.

I'll leave that to those more interested in the subject than I. It's an interesting topic to be sure, but not one that strikes my interest, nor my area of expertise.

I'm more curious to know how the world got along without these wars. It was devastating, to be sure, but a lot of technical advances and inventions were created out of necessity, and then were utilized for the private sector.

Bon. What sort of diplomatic events, may I ask?

	We're much less industrial than Twelve-B, for example, but I don't think that a bad thing. I worked for a government office concerned with the use and misuse of magic. It required some coordination with our counterparts in other worlds and countries. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private brother_mine 2017-11-18 06:37 pm UTC (link)
	You must tell me more about this development, in person. Sounds like the sort of thing that's quite up my own alley. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
