[ This is new.

A shadowed figure sits before you, Tranquility. Very poor lighting, perhaps done purposely, but you are able to see the face. Well, the mask. ]

Familiar? [ The voice asks, pointing to the familiar face of Sherlock Holmes. Ooh, look at those cheekbones.

( ... Is that a crown on his head? Hmm, must be a fake. )

Not the usual pitch of your loving Consulting Criminal, completely distorted and taken at lower tone. Like a growl. He's taken his precautions and the outlined form appears very steady.

Calmed. ]

This is all very odd, this. [ The audio continues to fluctuate at various points. ]

There's this very small moment between "dandy" and "oh no" around here. [ He demonstrates with the spacing between his thumb and index finger. ] I'm right... there. See that space? It's terribly cramped.

Some people just continue their merry way around here, cover from horrors. Continue to keep themselves mundane, bustle through their very oh-life-is-complicated problems. Dull, boring, dullllll. Dull, full, bull!

It's all very annoying. Life. The routine. The quiet. God, the lot of you... I would enjoy a good waltz before the dip. Maybe I would even let go? Plop! Gurgle!

[ A laugh, scratching at the audio until it cuts off, just for a moment. ]

My, that was very rude.

It was very mean of me, you know? Leaving him in the pool. Christ, he just wouldn't shut up. Laughing. Laughing. Laughing. He just laughed and I just wanted to...

You know. And I did. Good. Cute, but the clingy type. I mean, who even wears a scarf at a pool party? Ri-di-cu-lous.

[ A sting of irritation sways in the mysterious voice. Something about to snap until both hands clasp together, the start of a new topic: ]

This is the point I ask: "Why is a raven like a writing desk?"

( ooc: Moriarty is a little cray cray atm!

Hit me up on Plurk or PM if you want to go over something, like those special few who are able to connect that it's THAT GUY FROM THE JUMP!!!

And go crazy trying to find the source~ Attention is adored! )

I think you have a concussion. You should stay still.

[Meanwhile she'll be trying to track that source, talkin' to the computers nbd.]

My Goooooood! Why would I want to--

[ The audio cuts off. It returns a moment later. ]

--might as well dive in the pool myself. Stillness.

[ The result of her tracing isn't very nice. It bounces back with a few files as a gift. High pitched audio that screeches, but does not seem to show any importance. ]

[ You know you're not a great anon either Jim. Or maybe Moran only knows it's you because he hangs out with you, in so many words. It's a lot like the Professor and his lame disguises that don't disguise him at all because of his stupid cobra neck. ]

I think we've enough of those, don't you?

[ Your mask, chum. Sherlocks. Too many. ]

YOU DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION!

[ Someone is extra snippy. ]

[stacked]

All right, who's the asshole that ordered the extra large double meat with extra freaking crazy?

[ The form twists and looks his surroundings, very respectable to the question.

He gives the voice a curious tilt of the head, singing: ] Not meeee~

[ Oh yes, look at you. How's that mask treating you, old boy? Seeing it does give Sherlock a bit of a chill, no denying it -- though that may be due to his own mask sitting nearby, an all-to-familiar face flawlessly translated into that of a fine China doll, smooth and perfect same for the spiderwebbed shatter at one temple.

They match. How charming. ]

Making it so easy for everyone to suss you out? And here I thought you were
actually trying to be clever during your stay.

Maybe.~ [ There he goes singing again. He hasn't even bothered tweaking with the audio, letting the distortion continue it's rumble. ]

Considering the many chances they have been given, I'm holding my arms out at this point. Cuff me. Take me away. I'm bad. Naughty, even.

What's it to you, cheekbones? Miss it? I do, oh, I do.

What the actual fuck? [Did he tune into the ALL CRAZY, ALL THE TIME station on the device?] Bellevue really needs to keep track of their psychos.

[spider]

That would require defining "psychos," of course. People do LOVE a very broad use of terms on board, don't forget that.~

No offense, but if you keep asking the wrong people to dance, you'll always be disappointed.

[spider]

Have yet to be drastically disappointed. [ Except once, but let's not talk about that. ]

Edgar Allan Poe wrote on both?

A riddle with no set answer, aside from ones imagined later.

Do you lack answers?

Ooh, we've got a smartie here~

Very much so.

You're gonna fry, Mr. S. [ hola, have a foxy fox bandit on the other end of the screen, she's all tense and sitting too close and maybe the smart thing to do here is just you know, don't reply and go find him and kill him herself right now like just do it, now is the perfect time to do it. just gotta find him. you killed little rock wait no that's wrong isn't it? why does it feel like that should be the right answer? someone that was a part of her family, Mr. S, veryveryveryveryvery bad, very bad idea. it feels different now. like he's just some zombie that took out her family. she wants him dead, and there's nothing blocking that anger anymore. she's not afraid of him. ]

He was nothing like you. [ because before she really digs into all the threatening, she has to figure out why. why his face? the ship gave most people a mask that was designed to scare them, or in Wichita's case.. maybe hint at some purposely hidden part of them, but Sherlock's face... well. it didn't fit. ] He'd never be stupid enough publicly confess to murder, first off.

[spider]

What murder? Who? Who might you be? You talk a lot.

[ Haaaaaaaaah. ]

Try for something actual relevant, "blah, blah, blahhhh."

[deprecate]

'Cause it can produce a few notes, but they're always fucking flat.

What I don't get is why you're with it enough to disguise your voice, but not enough to realize you're talking worse nonsense than Carroll.

[spider]

Oh, cute.

I have my reasons, the usual. Not the brightest idea to be recognized around here, dont you know? We're a bunch of backstabbers~

[theblogger]

[ Let's just pretend this doesn't make him sick with fury, because text can't tell you that. Right? ]


Don't you ever get tired crowing the same thing
or relying on old tricks and words that aren't yours?
You're not scaring anyone. All these omens are just
annoying. You're just as powerless as the rest of us.
Why don't you just strap one of those harbinger
signs to yourself and be done with it? It's all you're
worth now.

[spider]

"Blah, blah, blahhhhh."

[ See this flapping hand, John? It's you talking and he's not listening. ]

[shoyu]

... I hate to be rude, sir, but is there a purpose to this? Or is it just meant to be a taunt of sorts?

anon video.

[spider]

Maybe I'm bored.

May. Be.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Because Poe wrote on both. Ask something a bit more difficult, why don't you-- really, for someone complaining of boredom, you're not doing much to alleviate it.

[spider]

Saying I should try a little harder? [ It would be wise of you to say "no." ]

[certainproclivity]

Well, we have a clear winner for the first to completely snap.

I'm assuming that doesn't come with a glamourous prize.
