What a relief. The clean-up for such things is abysmal.
SH

[ Terribly impotent? There's pills for that, mate. ]

My heart withers with disappointment.
SH

[ Yes, well, aren't we special? He'll get better digs, thanks. From someplace. Eventually. ]

[ Promising, but not confirmation -- he still can't know for sure if his plan worked or not and, if it did, whether Moriarty was aware of it. More data will be needed for that, data which he rather doubts will be easy to drag out with this little dance they've already got going. Neither can afford to tip their hand and lose the upper-hand... Sherlock especially so. Clearly his last instance did not play the game as he should have. The price was dear.

He will not be so careless.

After staring at his communicator with hands pressed to lips and brow furrowed with thought, he takes it up once again. ]

And yet you fall back on the same old droll performance. Here
I thought two bouts at a swimming pool were more than enough,
yet I hear tell you've gone back to the same tired ideas as
London. Running out of steam?
SH

[ There was a time he would feel a spike of excitement at this, a thrill deep in his bones; now, after losing everything, he feels more like a man easing his way through a nest of vipers. The final problem still hangs before them; this game is still for keeps. ]

It has always been of the utmost use to you, from what I recall.

[ Who else would feel a need to pay thousands of pounds to have a woman put a cigarette out on their tongues, after all? Though this one's profession may be different, he has no doubt the nature behind it is still as self-serving as ever. ]

I have never known her to be subtle.

[ An edge of irritation slips in, but it's smoothed over quickly by that little sound she lets out as confirmation. The smirk is obvious in his voice. ]

Don't take it too hard, Miss Adler. It's an inevitability, after all, if a Sherlock Holmes is involved.

[ Wow shut up. No wonder he dislikes you so much. ]

Lucky us, it wasn't the first to decompose and still can.

[ And that tells him all he needs to know. ]

Yes. It is.
SH

[ Then as an afterthought- ]

You have been most helpful. Expect to hear from me again.
SH

[ Oh ha ha bloody ha ]

I would remark how infuriatingly precocious you
are for a child your age but I think we're both
aware that's not the case.
SH

i wouldn't know. and that makes me worry a little bit about you.
JT

Not precocious. Logical. Spock says I'd make a great vulcan.

Ah yes, my counterpart and I do have very similiar sets. A matched pair, I think is the most apt description.

[ irene will forever mourn over the lack of subtlety in the future, don't get her started. ]

Inevitable for other people, I'm sure.

[ the implication being not me ]

[ Let's see where this goes-- What else is for grabs, what else may slip and be stumped in the act? An error here or there; who will be the one making the fall? Solving the problem? What sort of equation can be crafted with those laced fingers, a man humming to himself contently in thought. A professor musing for the number of events to happen, marked in significant places on his calendar. Events to look forward to, preparing for the distraction to keep his body and mind properly stimulated.

Alive.

The game never ends: ]

Ooh, you do know how to hurt. ;(

Funny story, that party. Swimming party. Bit dull. Poor accident. Advised floaties beforehand. No one had dinner that night.
