Deduction 1 - [ written ]

[notquiteheartless]

[Sherlock Holmes has been on bedrest for about 48 hours.

However, when his doctor decides to go out for supplies and to see if any of the detective's clothes have shown up (it was either that or let the man get up and see himself, and apparently that was not going to be allowed)... the patient lets himself get up. Not much, just enough to make it into the sitting room.

Which is just as white-washed as the bedroom. Damn it.

Once he can stand to be on his feet for more than ten minutes at a time, those walls are getting painted or papered or something.

He's had time enough to read his Journal and the Guide it contains, and the system itself is straightforward enough. Something like a computer but not quite as efficient. Still, it's something.

It doesn't matter to him that his Journal is in his bedroom and John's is sitting out. It's John's he grabs and a pen nearby that he writes with, unaware of what was broadcast over the journals the previous day.]

I am aware that damage to the wings is ill-advised. However, I am curious: Seeing the distinct disadvantage that they pose, has anyone attempted to surgically remove them? Not ripping or merely cutting-- a proper medical procedure. An amputation. Has it been attempted? If it has, to what end?

[After he's written out all of that, he starts on another project. To some, it may just be evidence of extreme boredom. Others... Well. Others might recognise it.]

["btw"? Who writes "btw"?

Now he almost wants to find a red jacket, just to piss this one off. What, does he think only one person could ever own a jacket of a certain colour?]

I think I'll rely on my own fashion sense, thank you.

[He's used to short hand, and likes the new trends.]

there's lots of different ones here because of all of the different worlds represented. best be careful or you'll end up in something that went out of date two winters ago.

Fashion consultant, are you? Quaint.

[notquiteheartless]

I've no use for French fashion.

[redjacketthief]

discreet fashion then?

[notquiteheartless]

As I said, though perhaps you could not be bothered to read it-- I will trust my own sense.

[redjacketthief]

Oh no, I read it. Anyone who wants to test residents immediately is interesting, though I should warn you that we have a lot of wacky things around here.

[written]

[notquiteheartless]

I doubt you'll find yourself bothered much by my tests.
