[network/video] @309_W1C_2DZ; Day 205; Midday [open] cw: mention of suicide

[howdull]

[For once Sherlock is not on text only, he's on video in all his glory. Which is a very diminished glory today, considering he looks terrible. Too thin in the face, though his clothes hide the rest of him, and dishevelled as though he's spent a few months not really putting any care into his appearance. His hair is longer than the last time anyone has seen him, and he looks older.

He's moving frantically in short bursts of energy, jittery, as if he isn't quite sure whether he wants to stay still or keep moving.]

Data, yes, I should share that. [It's a mumble to himself as the tablet tilts, giving an askew feed of the detective.] Purposeful death does cause nearly guaranteed revival, this has now been tested several times with no known cases of permanent death.

[The tablet shifts again as Sherlock moves between morgue drawers, checking them one by one and then moving on.]

John. [It's a sudden shift in direction.] John Watson, has anyone seen him?

There are times a beast emerges from the snows directly above and below us affording us little time to react.

[He says this with the heaviness of a man who spends a lot of time reflecting on loss.]

But through my efforts lives are saved. So long as this is true, it shall be my devotion to protect. It is a knight's duty.

[howdull]

[That's almost noble in its own way. Stupid, but noble, and he doesn't immediately shoot it down.]

How have your specific efforts aided any lives in being saved?

[silverfuller]

Yes.

[He answers simply.]

[howdull]

How?

[Now that is interesting.]
