and like the lord our savior
on the next day or the second or third
sometimes a little more than that
we arise
as zombies

[fifty]

Some of us, anyway.

[rubikscomplex]

fifty bucks say 80% of those people come back

[fifty]

That still sucks for the 20%.

[rubikscomplex]

well, hey
i didn't get those 20% killed
solomons, quinny, and hammertime girl weren't on my watch

[It's disturbing to see one's name up there. Much less the sheer amount of people. Their little experiment certainly produced...results.

But what really gets to him is Sherlock.

This is the second time. And it's so much worse.]

Sherlock? Seen Sherlock?

[He doesn't want to show the world he can't help but speak like an imbecile, but he needed to know. He was desperate for any scrap of information. He can't get through to him, but maybe something is stopping him from being able to use his tablet. Or he didn't get one. Or he couldn't speak. Obviously he knew that very well may be a possibility, considering what his own current problem seemed to be.]

[jumpthegun]

No. I haven't seen him. Bloody hell, Mycroft, what did you two do!?

[holmesice]

[Well, that killed much of his hope. If anything, Sherlock would get ahold of John first. He hated himself for clinging too much to hope.]

Ex--exper--

[He can't say it. Blast.]

Test. Killed Sherlock. He ate chip. Ghost.

[He thought John wasn't daft enough to think he really meant a ghost. Maybe. He also neglected to say how he himself died. He could only claim he'd gone mad with grief, because it was stupid. Desperate and horrified, upset and not thinking clearly, he'd made a stupid decision. Like an ordinary person.

To be fair, he didn't quite feel like he was back at baseline, either. It'd taken him several dry retches and a long time to steel himself up again to even touch the tablet. Every memory that he had of that night made him choke back gasps, like he couldn't breathe. He was still faintly trembling, too.

Maybe side effects of the whole being dead thing. He was fine.

He wasn't fine.]

[jumpthegun]

He ate a... Jesus, what is he five? Jesus Christ.

[Just. Jesus. And he hasn't come back, yet. It's not been that long, but he hasn't come back. And there's no telling if everyone will be as 'lucky' as House. Anxiety begins to claw at the back of his mind. If he'd been there, if he'd gotten to Sherlock sooner, he could have stopped this. He could have stopped all of this hurting him, like he did with America.]

I can't-

[It's just cut off as John hangs up.]

[cosmicwords]

May their souls find peace.

...Was, this all because of those cloaked figures? How many of you took part in this experiment?

[ecks]

Castiel
yes

[cosmicwords]

Castiel....

[He'd spoken to Castiel. There was something about the man that felt familiar.]

He was a friend of yours?

I'm sorry.

[ecks]

he was my friend
we were traveling together

[cosmicwords]

Where were you traveling?

[It's an odd question but he feels like anything he says about his sorrow for her loss would feel empty. Maybe he can at least focus her mind on something other than pure grief, at least for a little while.]

[ecks]

we must find the way to enter the sealed tower
Doctor House commanded me to findit
taht is where the signal came from Castiel was helping

Well, shit. That is way more dead people than I was expecting to see on here. You know, this census thing kind of sucks once you get to know the people whose deaths you're tallying.
