[video] In which one of the Sherlocks is as cool as motherfucking shit.

[ There's a jostle, and a familiar, fluctuating voice can be heard. ]

Hang on, I think I fucking got it. It's all in my pocket and shit, all up in here. Cozy like a motherfucking rainbow.

[ He laughs, and it's more like a sputtering chortle and--yup, there it is. A tell-tale honk as the gray-skinned troll pulls the device out of wherever it's been--it looks like under a sheet of some sort--and there's a huge clutter of various things strewn around the room. One of which is the mattress that used to make up the bed. ]

Motherfuck, there we go. So hey, world. I've got something pretty motherfucking important to share with you.

[ And, in the corner, a pie tray filled with neon green goo, half eaten. One of his very last pies. And also in the background that's--

Yup. The second Sherlock Holmes. ]

All you motherfuckers, I've come to a realization. This ship. Is, like, a motherfucking case. We need to solve.

oh, wow, i am almost done!
it must really suck being that slow!
though if you say anything, i will not be able to hear me because i am that far ahead.

[ Of course, not one to be beaten, Holmes is immediately flapping his way out of his seat, throwing open Gamzee's drawers in search of -- Ink, pen, something, no, okay, but his room, so if he's absent from the den of clowns and pies for a moment, it's because he will by all means win this and it doesn't matter what John SAYS partially because the phone clicks off for a moment while he's doing so in determination and -- ]

[ Returns approximately three minutes later, looking far too close to the camera. ]

Finished.

i can see your nose hair...

[ but he switches to video, too, and it's just a fuzzy sight of john sitting alone in his room ]

Okay, you have to go first!

Ah. Are they trimmed?

[ He leans back. ]

Why? If you issued the challenge then wouldn't it be appropriate for you to set the parameters?

I don't mind. But if I show it first, that means I finished it first.

[ leaning over to grab it hehehehe ]

No, no, you don't!

[ EXCUSE HIM WHILE HE KGJLhgjgKJS;Gn ]

[ He slams the page down, and his hands are haplessly stained with ink, which is entirely unnecessary but there appears to be a pen broken on the floor and the stuff is honestly smeared about, hideously - he'll have a mess to clean up, if he bothers - but he's not caring about it right now. ]

[ His drawing, as he shows it through the lens now, looks to be something in the neighborhood of whatever the fuck this is ]

Oh, wow, that's actually really nifty...

You drew a lot of clouds! That is very cool, because I like clouds. But I think I understand you a lot more now! This says a lot about you. And a lot about clouds.

They're not clouds.

[ He says, indignantly, turning the device back to himself. ] At least two are cats. Also, a knife, a boot, three vials of phosphorous, Bach's left hand, a hurried rendition of the capillaries of the left foot, and - a waterfall. Only to begin with.

[ But really it does just kind of look like clouds and also smeared ink. ]

But not clouds, and, now, show me yours.

Oh! I really want to see the cat... You have to show me again, okay? We can trade and everything.

[ but he does laugh a little bit ] Except I sorta cheated, I splashed some colors on it and I wasn't really thinking? So it doesn't make sense, I just wanted to see yours! But I hope you're not mad it wasn't a very fair exchange. [ but he holds it up too ]

It's just by the bunch of grapes, and the revolver. [ gosh don't you see it ]

You - [ Cheated, he almost finishes, but, well, that was a lie as well, wasn't it? It's a bit more intimate than he'd initially lead on, and Holmes tilts his head, studying John's creation. ] Who are the figures, respectively?

What figures?

I believe they're people. Small stick drawings, to be sure.

[ He won't touch in on the words. They seem too blatant, and loud, almost like mistakes. ]

There's no people.

There shouldn't be any more people, and I think you're lying and that's really mean of you. This was supposed to be fun and you're really making this unfun.

[ ... Interesting. ]

You just used the colors. The bright splashes.

Yeah!

They're pretty colors and stuff. It's kinda messy, though... Yours was way more cool. And you still have to show me your cats?

I will show you. Distorted over the feed? I could be why you couldn't make them out.

John, your drawing. Might I have it, then?

Okay? As long as you don't hang it over the refrigerator or anything like that, because that is creepy.

That means I can have yours, because it is a druggie sandwich trade.

If I knew what it was, I surely wouldn't hang a thing on it.

[ He smiles, carefully. ] It would only be fair. Then should we meet?

Ha ha! They're very nice clouds, though...

But okay. Can you really move, though? You have all those drugs in you, and possibly pie, and possibly both.

It should make more sense in person. [ N...ot really. ]

Both, though one in the same, and I, [ he leaps to his feet (and stumbles a step SHIT CALL THE AMBULANCE no wait he's fine, steadying, yes, look at this strong and not intoxicated man), and takes way too long to finish his sentence, ] can.

I have decided to go to you! Out of no particular reason at all. But I do not know where you are exactly, so I will just try my best, I guess?

[ fuck you JAWN i can WALK ]

We should meet halfway. Or perhaps somewhere of significance nearby.

I guess I will just go to the lockers because at least we both know where that is and I won't get lost?

But keep this thingy on in case you fall and can't get up so I can help you and stuff.

While your concern is noted, it's misguided. I think you know well enough it's not my first encounter with a substance that's- Muddling.

But I will leave the "thingy" on. If only to sate your conscience.

My conscious will be so sated that it will be like baited with satiation. Be careful, and try not to fall or anything...

[ but going off!! he does keep his comm thingy on, though, and it shows his journeys down the

wrong ways john stop getting lost ]
