I think it's high time an answer is found to a pressing question, and I will not rest until I find the solution:

Which one of you idiots ate my finger?

...has it not grown back yet?

[Obviously that's why Mycroft would be asking this a week later, right?]

[holmesice]

No, it's grown back. Doesn't negate the need to find the culprit.

[His salt, however, has increased exponentially.]

[keepscalm]

[Well, that's a relief, and England lets out a relieved sigh accordingly.]

Bloody hell, I thought you were trying to figure out how to fix your hand. [That was not the most obvious implication of the post, but look, England has given him the benefit of the doubt.]

[rattlingthestars]

You ever see something and think to yourself, wow, I hope the next time Robert Miller screws with our minds, that's the thing he takes?

[holmesice]

Is his really all you have to add to the conversation?

...you know who did it, don't you?

[rattlingthestars]

Why the hell would I know? It's your finger!

[ Unfortunately, yes, that is all he has to add to the conversation. ]

[Really? John rolls his eyes and glances over at Mary. Mary who's not really Mary.

She shrugs. 'Struggling for control, feeling powerless. The usual, you know? Mycroft. If you're going to go glib, maybe take a moment?']

Yeah, that was me. Sorry. Peckish for some finger sandwiches for tea lately. Reckon it filtered over.

[Mary places a hand on her heart and proclaims solemnly, 'I am Spartacus.']

[holmesice]

[...]

You may think it's worth a pointless laugh, but I'm onto you, John Watson. Clearly it was someone who could get close enough to me to even do so.

[jumpthegun]

[John sighs. Trying to reason with Mycroft Holmes is akin to banging his head against a wall, but he has to try. For everyone else's sake, if not his own.]

Mr. Holmes, none of us were in control of ourselves. From what I heard from others, the people with the lines were hurting themselves along with everyone else. Heard Rhys tell someone he lost an eye. No one did this willingly. Is it that important to blame someone who didn't have a say in the matter?

[harlequinofhate]

How did one of us idiots eat your finger?

[holmesice]

Obviously it was during the last bloody nonsense we went through, in that blasted frenzy when we were captured. Otherwise, don't you think I'd be slightly more incensed?

[harlequinofhate]

Well, I don't know what kinda circles you hang out in! People are always losing limbs around here!

...Coulda been me.

@clowncutie92, voice

[clowngirl]

[She's trying not to snicker, but.] Just can't put your finger on it, can you?

[holmesice]

[What has he done to deserve this?]

...will that be all? Or do you have a list of puns that must be recited before you lot leave me to the real concerns?

[clowngirl]

Oh, I could do this all day with an appreciative audience.

How do ya know somebody even ate it?

@rephaitemercy - audio

[tablewithoutpity]

To be quite honest, it is likely no one actually consumed your finger. Digits are primarily bone and cartilage.

[holmesice]

They swallowed it. Not the wisest course of action, considering, but I did see it.

@beyonce | audio

[thewarningafter]

[There's an audible sigh from Stephen.]

What difference would it make if you knew?

[holmesice]

[You're on his list too, body double of his brother.]

Yes, it does make a difference! Of course it bloody matters who ate my finger!

@betterhalf; audio (You can ignore this cause i'm late) Also CW: Finger nail stuff/noisy black event

[darkincrement]

[ He's going to laugh. Did Mycroft missing hearing his voice? ]

Maybe it was me. Couldn't stop at just the nails this time.

(No worries!) CW: Finger nail stuff/noisy black event

[holmesice]

[Mycroff freezes. That voice. His breathing hitches, and he does his best to sound like he's not completely freaking out.

He fails at this.]

You're a monster. How could you make light of the situation like this?

...it was you, wasn't it?

@librarian; audio; private

[cahooted]

[Why.

What is that? What is Mycroft doing? Is that his way of coping? It's unfathomable to Flynn to bring up the recent ordeal again, let alone publicly; it is so much of the opposite of what he himself wants to do that he can't help but stop and marvel.

Eventually,]

Are you okay?

audio; private

[holmesice]

[Actual concern? Or mere mocking? What to do with this?]

I'm perfectly fine, Mr. Carsen.

@captaininvincible; audio;

[notaquaman]

I have been having some serious indigestion lately. Sorry, man. My bad.

[Someone let Mycroft rest from all these sassy remarks.]

[holmesice]

[Never.

And you're on his list too, now.]

Somehow I doubt you are giving me real information and have resorted to mockery.
