Case 1: the Exhausted Detective
Who: Sherlock Holmes, and Open
What: Sherlock and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week
Where: Around the school
When: First week of May
Warning: Talk of trauma, drug use mention likely, and self-inflicted sleep deprivation
A. May 1, past midnight
[It's too quiet, he hates it - it's unnatural, there should be something to make a sound, any sound - and part of his mind keeps asking quietly 'Perhaps you had gone deaf?', but he's well aware that's just paranoid thinking but it doesn't make it stop. And this sickly white mist hardly made things any better, this bloated feeling… if he had his library, perhaps he’d know what kind of toxin it is. A flash of pink catches his attention… Stephanie? That girl really shouldn’t be out…
Yet no one was here when he turned, his eyes scanning, no… she couldn’t have disappeared that fast. Perhaps he’s just… wonderful, he’s seeing things. Was it really Miss Meanswell though, the color reminded him more of -
Before he could make sense of what just happened, there was a voice, a deep voice, whispering in a way that sounded so loud in the stillness, his heart leaping right up into his throat, and a clamminess settled over his skin as the words wormed their way into him.
A thinking machine? Your brain rules over your heart? And yet here you are, trembling like a child
It’s so achingly familiar even with the mockery that never had been paired with that voice, as the name of the dear friend settle on the tip of his tongue, another voice sneers at him, high, feminine and far more youthful than it should be given her age.
Hardly a machine that can think, are you Sigerson? If you were so smart why did I die? We both know it’s your foolishness that killed me.
The petite figure again appeared in the corner of his eye and again she vanished when he tried to look at her, for a moment it seems like when she vanished all there was left was a patch of snow, dyed scarlet before it too faded. As she vanished, a man, a broad-shoulder, perfectly average man in every sense but the cold, dismissive way he seems to look up at him, again never clear, again vanishing.
…Hallucination, they’re just hallucinations, neither Helena nor John would talk to him in such a manner, they’re not even here. He’s fine, he’ll be fine – he must endure. Damn it! Why is his heart refusing to calm? He was in no danger! Clear his mind, deep, steady breathes, like the Monks had taught him, clear his...
I merely tolerated you, all you were to me is just a means of paying the rent.
His back hits against the wall near his locker, sliding down as he pulls his knees to his chest, shivering, his breath shallow and fast, no matter how hard he tried to focus, his mind scattered into flashes of regret and fear, his heart hammering away against his ribs, and the voices won't stop]
B. May 3, day time
[With the gaming club came game boards, and ways to distract himself, he sets up a chessboard, frowning slightly as several black pieces were placed in different spots, and a sole white piece - the rook is placed, not a game but a puzzle of some kind.
He kept at it for what seem like hours, but the longer he continues the more he seems to drift off, almost in danger of face planting against the board before he jerks, pinching himself - clearly trying to keep from nodding off.
Hm.
When he spots someone, he quickly sits up and inclines his head]
Would you like to join me?
C. May 5
[The library was quickly becoming the place where one can find the Detective easily, constantly looking at or reading books, frowning before he gets up and paces, before returning with another book, before setting that one aside, writing things down every once in a while in a very hurried script that somehow manages to be perfectly legitiable. The books themselves seem to be an almost random mix of a wide range of topics with no visible rhyme or reason behind them being on the table, he glances up, opening his mouth before closing them, still getting used to the fact no one comes out in this place]
