You mean-- then you've traveled to not just other countries, but other dimensions, like this one?

[Yes John, that is what he just said.]

Is that how you came to be here? You came intentionally and just got stuck?

Re: [Action]

[tokyo_vampire]

I wouldn't say I came intentionally. World travelers cannot control their destinations. We simply accept wherever we end up. Usually we have a choice as to when we can leave..however this world took that ability away.

[Action]

[seesthebattlefield]

That must be hard for you; being stuck in one place when you know you might be needed in another.

[Except it had been the opposite for John; it wasn't that he had been unable to leave Afghanistan, it was that he'd be forced to. Still, he can sympathize.]

I felt that way before, myself, but then I discovered Bakerstreet. Heh, I guess in a way you did too.

[Action]

[tokyo_vampire]

It is mostly difficult because it means I have to be apart from my brother.

[Subaru nods and looks down at the menu.]

Perhaps that place has a power to heal..that we are unaware of but drawn to.

[Action]

[seesthebattlefield]

The power to heal? Bakerstreet?

[He hums, bemused.]

People keep saying things like that here, but it's just not-- we don't have things like that where I'm from; magic or the like...

[A small nod, thinking it over]

Still, I suppose that could be true. Might explain why they bothered to bring it here.

Re: [Action]

[tokyo_vampire]

Power doesn't necessarily have to mean magic. Memories can be powerful. Feelings can be as well. if you are drawn to that place then it could just be the feeling of home that makes it strong.

[Action]

[seesthebattlefield]

You're definitely right on that.

[Yes, Bakerstreet is home for all of them it seems; although John hadn't quite meant to let that slip out. He covers up the mild embarrassment by placing his order.]

Do you mind if I ask, how did you and Sherlock first meet

[Action]

[tokyo_vampire]

[Subaru tilts his head slightly as he tries to think of that answer.]

Perhaps it came before this..but my most vivid of first memories is when I came to his home as it was falling apart. He wasn't doing well so I promised to help him and restore his home.

[Action]

[seesthebattlefield]

[John frowns at that. So Sherlock hasn't doing well for a long time.]

When the city first collapsed... So Bakerstreet wasn't always here?

Re: [Action]

[tokyo_vampire]

Ahh..not always I don't believe. This world started to bring things from everyone's worlds at one point.
