[He's pretty much just going to cut to the chase here.]

I'm going to start a criminal database. Clearly there's no law enforcement, but it would be dead helpful to those of us who are interested in that kind of thing to have a database on noted criminals. And by criminals, I'm using the term very loosely, considering that those of us who...pursue said criminals are criminals by definition ourselves. Anyway, a real database will help in solving future incidents. Which, I'm sure there will be some.

I know there's already a warning about people in the notes, which is great, but what I want is this:

Names. Descriptions. People who have attempted, or succeeded, to kill, assault, rob people here -- anything that harms other people or their property, I want to know about it. And people who have attempted to do similar in their home worlds, not counting war veterans or police officers. I want details, and dates if you can give them.

Characters: Tess, the Watsons, and Monika
Location: Building 37
Date: Day 315 (evening)
Summary: Tess gets confirmation that there are, in fact, actual people here instead of only phantoms on her tablet. Also, she makes some sandwiches.
Warnings: Parents experiencing separation/loss from a small child.

( that ain't no good. )

[The tablet clicks on to a relatively good shot of Sherlock inside one of the funeral homes, back in his proper body, clothing slightly rumpled and body bag on the floor behind him where he's clearly just fought his way out.]

As a follow up to my previous experiment, it's worth noting that a complete blood transfusion is equally as temporary as a partial one done to relieve MN symptoms.

[He sounds calm enough, but there's a slight tremble to his hands that belie that he's shaken.]

I find it curious that those of us who revive in the evenings are permitted to remain overnight in these places without any negative consequences, when usually such a thing is fatal. I wonder if it would be possible to negate those consequences by arriving in a place where someone else is reviving, or if somehow one would be killed and one left alone.

[There's a pause, before his brow furrows.]

I suppose that I should say that I'm not advocating for that to be tested, before I am accused of encouraging people to endanger their lives, it's merely a theoretical musing.

( Truth is rarely pure and never simple. )

[Sherlock is exceptional at deducing with all five of his senses, solving cases by only the noise in the nearby street, or the taste of a powder left behind. But he didn't realise just how disorientating it is to lose one of those senses and not have it to rely on. He's already fallen over his own pack twice, bruised his shin on the mortuary drawer, and taken nearly a full fifteen minutes to find the door to the outside.

It's embarrassing, really. He'd do a lot better at this in London where he actually knows the streets to memory, but he's not quite that expert on Norfinbury's geography. It doesn't help that he has no idea of his starting location to even guess at how to get anywhere. A dent to his pride it might be, but even he knows that he can't navigate this on his own, or he risks wandering in circles and getting locked out overnight to die again. But he can't navigate his tablet enough to make it do text to speech, or even make a private call. So in frustration, he's jabbed the screen mostly at random until he thinks he's managed to make something work.

The view is of snow, lots of blurry snow on an angle. Sherlock's voice sounds loud over the image, loud and irritated.]

Could somebody please tell me where the hell I am?
