Same routines

[heartofbakerst]

I've actually been quite pleased with the way things have been arranged here so far. Aside from a few... questionable instances, such as the dance and the odd appearance of material, I really haven't had many complaints. Even Sherlock has behaved... for the most part. I think I received a notice about a potential flatmate coming in but it seems to have disappeared. I may have dreamed it.

Sherlock? Do you know anything about these calls that I'm getting from Juanes? They seem to be wanting their merchandise back.

Also, has anyone else noticed the stark lack of women on the island? Like actual adult women? It's a little unnerving, to be quite honest.

Numbers used to be better. We've had more women released than men.

[heartofbakerst]

Don't mean to sound paranoid, but that's just a coincidence, isn't it?

[mindoirsurvivor]

Your guess is as good as mine.

[worldsonly]

There is no end to the perplexing things about this island, and all you've manage to observe is the disproportionately small amount of women? I despair of you, John Watson.

[worldsonly]

You also failed to observe the island-wide recall of all 'source material'.

[heartofbakerst]

I never said that I didn't observe it. I just didn't think it mattered. Do you?

And yes, I noticed. Because it's a little eerie, seeing all these kids running about when there are so few women.

[worldsonly]

What do children have to do with anything?

[heartofbakerst]

Well where do you suppose they come from? If there's no women, there's no babies. I'm just wondering if this is a natural thing or not..

probably long deleted 'sex ed' from his system

[worldsonly]

I suppose they got here the same way we did, John. While they all exhibit varying degrees of familiarity with the island and each other, there's nothing to indicate they are anything but transplants. The native population, it seems, tends to avoid the 'fictional' neighbourhoods, and they appear to have their own network.

Or they just popped out of the ground.

how babies work isn't something he needs to know

[heartofbakerst]

What, like a cabbage patch?

I'm concerned, Sherlock. Can you blame me? If there's considerably fewer women, I don't want to have to be.. fighting for them like some kind of savage.

possibly also just deleted 'babies'

[worldsonly]

I don't understand why that's even a concern. Do you often engage in physical competition for the attention of a woman?

[heartofbakerst]

No. And I'd prefer to keep it that way, thank you very much.

[moltobene]

Ah, so I'm not the only one who noticed the lack of women?

[heartofbakerst]

Tragic, isn't it?

[moltobene]

Indeed. But I suppose, the less of us in this strange place the better, no?

[heartofbakerst]

I guess so... but if we're stuck here for good, then it certainly makes the competition that much stiffer.

[moltobene]

It does not necessarily rule anything out...

[heartofbakerst]

I'm... sorry?

[kinglestrade]

Innit? Though I'm not certain I'd be very keen on scoping the dating scene on Hell Island anyway.

[heartofbakerst]

You don't think so?

[kinglestrade]

This isn't exactly a preferable environment for a bachelor who hasn't quite grown accustomed to the title.

[heartofbakerst]

Oh, jeez... I keep forgetting about your wife.

How are you adjusting?

It's fine. Island provides
enough of a distraction as it is.

ENT?

[reddest]

Oi, we're still here, you know. Proper adult women and everything.

[heartofbakerst]

There are some of you, of course.. But it's a little concerning with how much the men outnumber you ladies.

[knifed]

A stupid concern.

[heartofbakerst]

How is it stupid?

[knifed]

Only a fool would worry about women in this situation.

[heartofbakerst]

Well as someone who enjoys the company of women, it is a particular concern of mine. Unless you think there's a reason I shouldn't be looking?

[knifed]

Hmph. I should've guessed you were a pervert.

[heartofbakerst]

Hey- Hang on. I never said I was a pervert. I don't go round.. looking up skirts or sniffing panties or anything.

[knifed]

"Enjoying the company of women" is precisely what that implies.

[heartofbakerst]

I don't even visit strip clubs. But it would be nice to find a girl to have a drink with.

I don't suppose you're available, are you?

[knifed]

No.

[heartofbakerst]

See, now, if there were more women available, your refusal wouldn't strike as harsh as it does.

[knifed]

Disgusting. Surely there is a better way to bide your time.

[heartofbakerst]

Going on dates is usually one of the ways people do that. Well, most people, I should say. Hence why you can see it's a concern.

[knifed]

Humans. Pathetic.

[heartofbakerst]

Sorry? I don't follow.

[knifed]

I do not understand all of your needs, is what I am saying.

Frivolous. Stupid. Pathetic needs.

[heartofbakerst]

Is it pathetic to appreciate human contact every now and then? To want friends?

[knifed]

Hmph. I suppose not. But, it does not always have to be of a romantic nature, does it.

[heartofbakerst]

Not at all. There's nothing wrong with having mates.

[knifed]

Then befriend the many men on this island instead. Either that, or stop complaining.

[heartofbakerst]

I've already got some. And I can't.. quite get the same relationship with other men as I can with women.

[knifed]

Some find it quite easy to.

[heartofbakerst]

Does anyone even assume people are heterosexual anymore? Because I am. Just so you know.

[knifed]

I do not need to know your sexual preferences.
