On not reserving fast enough, needing cross-canon CR and canon-reviewing solidifying the muse

[womanwhobeatyou]

You missed your opportunity, Miss Mundane. That's really all there is to say about it, isn't it?

But I will say it is comfortable here, and the game we are playing is interesting enough. All these little scenarios. I think I will stay a while. Just be a good girl and let me talk to someone other than John and Sherlock, would you?

Good, that's a dear.

Is that your thing, then? Getting his goat or whatever you wanna call it.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Something like that. Should I be disappointed your novels never mentioned the woman who beat him?

[profitableboron]

They probably do, but I haven't read them. I went into engineering and became an astronaut, not a lot of literary studies were involved. Sorry I can't be of any help in that regard.

[womanwhobeatyou]

An astronaut? Not quite as fascinating as detectives or detective stories, but impressive nontheless. Brainy is the new sexy, after all.

[profitableboron]

[She certainly moves fast.]

Well, I guess. It was kind of what I always wanted to do. Wasn't too thrilled at being the only man on the moon for three years while my wife went through pregnancy and raising our daughter, but it had to be done. [It's said with a slight chuckle, but a bit nervously. That wasn't his life, after all.] It just worked out that way.

[She's a dominatrix. It's part of the job. She looks surprised by the idea though.]

Three years, alone on the moon? I certainly hope you were well compensated.

[profitableboron]

I was.

I mean, I thought I was. The original seemed to be well off. I, ah...I'm not Sam Bell, but I am.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Oh? Now that sounds like an interesting story, Mr. Bell.

[profitableboron]

[Interesting? It probably was, and he hoped the other Sam Bell could handle it back on Earth. He hoped he made it okay, made it just fine.

Sam hoped...]

I'm...I mean, was...or, I guess still am, a clone of the original Sam Bell. The fifth clone.

I don't think he knew, or I hope not, but I didn't until very recently.
