Just have to find another place to go

[bloodydeduction.livejournal.com]

[Sherlock has decided that he likes whatever this place is - a replication of his apartment, yes, but it has just the right mix of quiet and chaos going on in the background that he can get some proper thinking done. And God knows he has a lot of thinking to do right now.

He sits on one end of the couch, hands together and resting beneath his chin, eyes closed. The observant will notice just how tense he is, as if he's expecting something to happen. The ridiculously observant may notice the small spots on the left side of his collar - dried blood stains, there for days at least. And those with a sort of "sixth sense" or whatever for odd things? Well... maybe you can figure it out.

He just sits, unmoving, for now. How long can a person keep this up, exactly...?]


((OoC: BBC'S Sherlock, AU'd! Wide open post, do feel free to bother him. He needs it.))

I'm thoroughly aware of what I'm thinking. Do you often make stupid assumptions?

[bloodydeduction.livejournal.com]

Aware of your immediate thoughts, perhaps, but blissfully ignorant to what it all means. The processes. Why you think what you do, and what would happen if you suddenly were to know the whys and the hows.

[fearyourmind.livejournal.com]

You're spouting off nonsense again.

[bloodydeduction.livejournal.com]

It isn't nonsense, it's basic psychology. [He gives a slight roll of his eyes and a small sigh. Boring. And distracting.]

[fearyourmind.livejournal.com]

It's basic psychology that you're assuming fits in this circumstance. Nonsense, like I said.

[bloodydeduction.livejournal.com]

The basics always apply. It's why they're called the basics.

[fearyourmind.livejournal.com]

You're rather close-minded.

[bloodydeduction.livejournal.com]

[Okay, that's a first.]

The closed-minded would say that, yes. Why do you insist on arguing with me when it's clear you're not even at the proper level to do so?

[fearyourmind.livejournal.com]

Because, despite the fact that you seem like a bit of a prick who feels above everyone else, you're rather interesting.

[bloodydeduction.livejournal.com]

"Interesting." That's not what most people say.

[fearyourmind.livejournal.com]

Really? What do most people say, then?

[bloodydeduction.livejournal.com]

"Freak," mostly. [Snrk. It amuses him, okay?]

[fearyourmind.livejournal.com]

We have that in common, then.

[bloodydeduction.livejournal.com]

I'm sure. [He clearly doesn't care.]

[fearyourmind.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you're sure.

Who are you, by the way?

[bloodydeduction.livejournal.com]

Sherlock Holmes. [Eyes are closed again~]

[fearyourmind.livejournal.com]

It's a pleasure to meet you, although I'm fairly certain you don't feel the same~

[bloodydeduction.livejournal.com]

Not really. [Tact? What's that?]

How did you get here?

[fearyourmind.livejournal.com]

I figured as much.

How did I get here? I walked here. It seemed intriguing, so I stayed. How'd you get here?

[bloodydeduction.livejournal.com]

I woke up here.

[More like he closed his eyes, opened them a second later, and here he is. ... Same general idea, you know.]

[fearyourmind.livejournal.com]

... That's rather anticlimactic.

[bloodydeduction.livejournal.com]

As was yours. Does anyone come here after some grand struggle?

[fearyourmind.livejournal.com]

I had a struggle almost immediately after I arrived, but I spared you the details. I figured you wouldn't want them. And I've known people who've come here while running from something, if that counts?

[bloodydeduction.livejournal.com]

Well enough, yes. Interesting...

[Oh look, now he has something to think about that isn't his current predicament!]

[fearyourmind.livejournal.com]

You think so? I'm surprised. I was beginning to think you didn't find anything interesting.
