[day 147; open]

Who: John Watson and Open
When: Day 147
Where: John's room and various.
What: newbie be wandering

At first John just sat a good long while on his bed. It was typical. Though he'd thought himself well beyond the days when he was deliberately trolled by the universe at large. Once he'd stumbled into that sort of role however, the universe seemed reluctant to let him out of it.

His first impressions were poor, that is to say, if this was Mycroft's idea of trying to reconnect through enforced placement. John was going to have to have words with the elder Holmes. Currently the only Holmes, but that was another of those things that John didn't like to think about, so they got brushed back into the recesses of his mind. A much less organized place than one would think for such an upstanding and productive British citizen.

Realization gradually sank in however, this was no effort of Mycrofts to lure him into conversation by means of science experimentation.

He was well and truly stuck.

The where's and why's and how's of the matter spun John's head in circles until it was clear that no matter how often he tried, he was not going to deduce any answers from what was inside his conveniently labeled room. Other minds might prove better at that task, but it was always in John's nature to go and look, even if he might not know what it was he was looking for. Or at.

John H. Watson was the picture of polite curiosity, finding no one outside his room to stop him. He wandered freely.

Meja nodded. "It surrounds the building. I'm not certain if there's a window anywhere here, but I could show you the hydroponics lab. You can see it from there."

The mistletoe hybrid was, finally, under control, and confined to its own corner until the Valkyrie could figure out what to do with it. It wasn't dangerous, but even Meja had grown weary of feeling the same chemical happiness whenever she'd stepped into the room.

"Very nearly," the Valkyrie agreed, smiling and leading the way. It's not very far. In theory — as long as the building doesn't play any tricks on them. "We've got a cafeteria, a library, an infirmary... and lots of other labs to be, carefully, explored. Full of things left behind."

Meja glanced up at the ceiling briefly. If she hadn't been here, this whole time, she might have doubted a building being powerful enough to pull off what had happened so far. But this wasn't her first conflict with a building that had an apparent mind of its own. Or help, at least.

She'd just hoped, after the dwarven maze, to be done with such things.

"The building itself? Possibly. I was speaking more of the objects and, potentially, the people within it. But the building is... quite interesting, and illogical, as I'm sure you've noticed wandering around it."

"We have a theory that it changes. I know that might sound strange"—though maybe not, now—"but it does seem to. Hallways spring up where there was only one. Labs change doors, sometimes."

Meja shrugged. One of the bizarre aspects of living in the Center was dealing with its lack of herence to the laws of physics.

"It can be a little maddening," she admitted.

"Should be right around this corner," Meja noted, as they rounded a bend in the hallway. She relaxed a little as she spotted the door; sometimes the building liked to get her on a bit of a chase. Today wasn't going to be one of those days, it seemed, and she felt a little grateful about it.

She opened the door, heading inside. Windows were something that the lab had in abundance, showing the forest outside, as well as a massive skylight. There were counters and cupboards all around the room, the center dominated by lines of plants growing in planters with protective runes etched into them. Some were native to Earth, or a version of it, but some weren't.

She shook her head slightly. "A number of us are taking care of the plants in here. It's a group project, for the most part."

Even discovering the place had been a group project, between she and Anita. Meja was half-tempted to note the fact that not sleeping meant she could man the lab at odd hours that only she and the angels had in common — so far as she knew — but she didn't broach that particular subject, just yet. John had only just arrived. It seemed rude to bombard him with that particular information; he'd find out in due time.

"I like greenery better than fluorescent lighting," she admitted, "so I'm in here a lot."
