[holmesice]

Why? So you can pounce on us again, you monsters?

[Mycroft snaps at the voice as he's passing one of the cells.]

[fiftheclipse]

[What.

So he's heard about what's happened by now, but under those circumstances, how can anyone still believe anyone's at fault?]

Yeah. Maybe.

I'm not gonna judge if you leave people behind. But I am if you're really not gonna try leaving the block. Saving a few is better than saving nobody.

[holmesice]

Not without Sherlock.

[He pauses, going back--but not too close--to his cell. Of course, Sherlock is one of them...but he can't...can't leave him.]

Can't leave Sherlock.

[fiftheclipse]

Then grab your detective and get going.

[holmesice]

[He frowns, and studies the red-lined monster.]

You can't leave. None of you can get out of your cells, obviously. How am I supposed to leave without Sherlock?

[fiftheclipse]

Has anyone even tried the door?

I couldn't get a good look around when those static things were going at me, but the controls for our cells are probably on the other side.

[holmesice]

[Honestly, for as observant as he is, his focus has been...elsewhere or nonexistent, but he doesn't want to admit he hasn't done so yet.]

Don't you think someone would have by now, obviously?

[fiftheclipse]

Don't you think someone would've said something about it if they did?

[He'll just.. give that barrier a light kick to show his annoyance at not being able to check for himself.]

[holmesice]

[Ugh.]

Well, perhaps you lot wouldn't be in this mess in the first place if you weren't cannibalisitc fiends!

[fiftheclipse]

Wait, what?

I thought it was all scratching and stuff...

[holmesice]

Just scratching.

[So much disdain in one word. He holds up a hand, where an index finger is missing, bandaged up tight.]

Was it you? Did you do this?

[fiftheclipse]

[Wait, he's serious? It was obvious his finger was missing, but, for that kind of reason..?]

Y-you gotta be kidding me. There's no way I'd do something that fucked up.

[holmesice]

Oh?

[His voice turns colder.]

And just how much of last night do you remember?

[fiftheclipse]

Well... None of it...

[That's not an answer that's going to help him any.]

But come on. Are you really gonna tell me someone ate it, and you never saw their face?

[holmesice]

[That gets a withering look.]

Do you honestly think I would be wandering around here at this moment if I knew who'd done it?

[fiftheclipse]

...

[No. Probably not. That's a pretty good point.]

Then do you think whoever did do it will remember, either? ... I kinda feel like I'm gonna throw up just thinking about it...

[holmesice]

...I was holding out hope for the possibility that someone remembers.

[And that withering look does not fade.]

Please aim away from me, thank you.

[fiftheclipse]

[Okay, look, the topic might be kind of gross, but he can't help laughing at that request.]

Pretty sure you're gonna be safe as long as you stay out of the cell.

[holmesice]

Well, I shall do my very best. [It's a tight smile devoid of anything that could be remotely called kindness. And anyway, it's not like there's anything stopping anything going through the opening of their cells.]

[fiftheclipse]

Sure making it sound like that takes a lot of effort.

[Since kicking it clearly didn't get any point across, Junpei reaches a hand out to tap at the barrier as he continues.]

Just because you guys got out of your cells just fine doesn't mean the rest of us can. Nothing's going through here unless it's yours.
