hatesdeerstalkers: (Seriously part two)

Two adult men circle each other like wary cats, the post

WHO: James Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes, and you!
WHEN: Probably after the whole...murder discussion thing
WHAT: Two men have found their way, and as is normal for them, immediately start blaming and barking at each other. And then after the girls are done fighting, they'll be around snooping in the area.



[Today, there's...a commotion in the auditorium. Looking out from the hallway - or approaching when you were already inside - will give you an eyeful of what looks like two adult men - one tall, thin, and with slicked back black hair, and the other with a head of gray hair and a mustache - in high school uniforms warily circling each other while also apparently talking.

One of them - the older man - has a decent set of lungs on him, which is probably what drew you to look at the courtyard in the first place.]


"...Blaming me for this, Holmes? How very arrogant of you!"

[The tall man is shockingly pale, his eyes daring around then back at the short man, his movements harried, sounding oddly breathless when he retorts]

"Can one be blamed when you always seem to be on the edge if not right in the middle of suspicious incidents?"

"Surely you can't believe I'm responsible for all of this! Isn't it much more likely we both got dragged to some kind of Singularity?"

[A pause and an unreadable expression flits across the tall man - Holmes' - face. His arms folds over his chest, his right hand gripping his left forearm tightly in the process, shoulders hunching up]

"...It is possible."

[The older man gives a scoff, shaking his head.]

"Yes, because I just happened to find another demon pillar to team up with, and chose a school to do my dastardly plan in."

"Fine. You're probably not involved. And no contact from Chaldea..."

[The younger man paces, still tightly gathered into himself.]

"Can't rely on outside here..."

"At least you can make out that in your current state."

[The men continue to circle and bicker as they keep their eyes on each other, practically wearing out a path with their feet as they do so.

There's the feeling they're not going to stop until someone breaks them up...Or, maybe you should leave and try to catch them later, alone?]

((OOC: OKAY SO - Moriarty and Holmes will have Individual top levels with prompts you can hit up, if you don't want to be involved in their little weird circle dance up top. If you DO, then just comment to this post and we'll both reply!))

You seemed surprised.

[The man quips slightly, before giving a quiet nod of acknowledgement of what Sidney said]

Yes... I've been informed that there are at least two other bodies that were found, and this display - it does makes you wonder about who or what is running this school.

Yours is a famous name back home. Just caught me off guard.

( which isn't entirely wrong, it's just not the whole truth. it is, however, all he intends on saying. )

... There's also signs of something being caught in the pipes. I haven't been awake long enough, unfortunately... but I must agree. There's so many things wrong going on here, it's dizzying.

Something...?

[There were two murders plus this body in the case]

Rumor has it a finger was found after a pipe burst. Shows signs of being submerged for quite some time, and the water, as I'm sure you've seen, is pink.

( you know, normal things in a school. )
improbablenotimpossible: (A three pipe problem)

So there's at least one body in the water tank.

My thoughts exactly. As much as I hate to say it, any water-based drink should be strictly off limits right now.

( NOT THAT THAT'S STOPPING OTHERS, APPARENTLY. )

Least until it's filtered... it's not idea but it is better than nothing.

My guess is the water tank will be in the basement- if we can get into there, perhaps we can begin the decontamination process.

( he just hasn't seen any basement door. yikes? )
improbablenotimpossible: (Let me ponder the matter further)

Hopefully it's not buried underground somewhere, that would... require tools I don't believe anyone would be capable of making with school supplies.

[Along with a host of other issues]

Mm. Not to mention, our tampering isn't going unnoticed. Trying to dig our way to the water tank would be impossible to hide.

Frankly, from what I'm hearing so far, being caught burying a body might raise less suspicion.

[He raises a single brow]

No, no, we just put those on display.

( despite the dry tone, his displeasure is clear with the crease of his eyebrows and a... frustrated sigh, into his hand. )
