[There's the sound of fumbling, and a cough before a deep, arrogant baritone voice comes on. He's clearly displeased about the turn of events that has trapped him here. Maybe he wasn't exactly listening when he was informed about the rules...]

What's stopping anyone from just up and leaving this ridiculous place?

[Blast. He didn't realize that he wouldn't be able to contact John. He was going to kill him if he disappeared again. He tried to assauge the guilty feelings that surfaced.]

Are you sure? Anyone tried yet?

[John wouldn't understand if Sherlock had managed to get in contact with him and explain he wanted to join a carnival. He'd know something was wrong and he'd end up somehow with a contract of his own probably in an attempt to free him.

Blast it all. He would have to hope John would forgive him for simply disappearing again.]

I dunno, but... I had a few pals who were here a while before I got here. Didn't have any clue they'd been gone.

[thevictoriandetective]

Really?

[That brought a smidgen of hope.]

Let me guess. Magic, right?

[fragileandsoft]

That's what they say. We're supposed to get dropped off like we never left. Time stuff.

[thevictoriandetective]

That's...actually good news.

[fragileandsoft]

Yeah... anything you've got waiting back home will still be there. A lot of people think of it like a vacation, sorta?

[thevictoriandetective]

I suppose. If it turns out to be not boring then it looks to be promising.

[fragileandsoft]

[He chokes out a laugh.]

There's a lot of ways to describe this place, but I don't think anyone would go for "boring."

[thevictoriandetective]

Excellent.

[He sounds quite happy about that.]
