[ there's a man in a wheelchair looking most disgruntled ]

It's a creative kidnapping, I'll give it that. But quite frankly, it's just irksome. So I'd really appreciate it if someone could get me a ride back to New York.

In fairness, it's not like it's exactly difficult to steal a bloke in a wheelchair, is it?

[axiomed]

I hope you're not speaking from experience.

[All voice unless otherwise specified. It's a very young one. Male or female? Anybody's guess.]

[justletmeknow]

This is an island. Few humans own automobiles or boats and no humans own machines capable of flight. No one can give you a ride anywhere.

[reanimated]

What if I am?

[boswellblogger]

Even if you could get to New York, it wouldn't be what you're expecting to find, I'd imagine. As far as I can tell, the people in the hospital are telling the truth. I just got here pretty recently as well.

[axiomed]

They're telling me I'm a fictional character.

[axiomed]

Humans? Wait, so what other kind of people do we have here?

[axiomed]

Well, then you're disturbing and I am appropriately disturbed.

[boswellblogger]

I know. That part I can't be so sure about, it's hard to believe I'm fictional to anyone, but I do think this is some sort of alternate universe. Nothing else makes any more sense.

[axiomed]

Alternate universe. Let me guess, this is the future?

[boswellblogger]

Not to my knowledge? Then again, I may not be the one to ask. I've got a friend on the island who says I've been here before, only I don't remember being here before. Something about confused timelines.

[justletmeknow]

Several inhabitants aren't native to earth, although most of them look rather human themselves.

[axiomed]

I'm from 1973. But I have some experience with timelines.

[axiomed]

. . . Mutants?

[justletmeknow]

I can't say. If they're here, I haven't seen any identify that way.

[axiomed]

Thank you. That's . . . helpful. Somewhat.

[boswellblogger]

Oh. Wow. Well I don't actually know what year it's supposed to be here, but it seems an awful lot like where I was from, and where I came from it was 2011. So I guess at least... I'm from the future, compared to you. Sorry.

[axiomed]

Don't be. It's hardly your fault, especially you've been kidnapped as well.

[boswellblogger]

Well. Kidnapping is definitely one way to put it.

Do you think there's anyone here you know? Though I'm guessing I probably just got lucky, there.

[axiomed]

I can't tell from here, I'm afraid but I'll try searching later.

[ he won't say how though ]

[boswellblogger]

Right, well. Good luck. And if it turns out you don't know anyone, and you have trouble with anything, just look me up. I'm John Watson. I also happen to be a doctor, if you need that sort of thing.

[axiomed]

Doctor John Watson.

[ he chuckles ] Well, your parents must have had a sense of humour.

[boswellblogger]

What do you mean? Just because it's such a common name?

[axiomed]

Yes, but being a doctor is the highest form of homage to Dr. John Watson, companion to Sherlock Holmes.

[boswellblogger]

Sorry, how do you know about me and Sherlock if you're from 1973? I mean, was that just a joke? Are you a fan of the blog or something?
