Case: 018

[1_truth]

{{ →!Action | 915 Bilko Boulevard | Evening - Early, EARLY morning }}

[ Since returning to Mayfield Conan has locked himself in his room with any mystery books he could find. If he figured out the trick and murderer before he finished his book he'd toss it in a pile of books that couldn't hold his attention for long. If he is kept guessing until the end then he sets it aside on his night stand to read through it again and find the key details that point to the murderer. So far he has not come across such a mystery. Normally, he'd finish reading the book despite figuring out the trick-but this is different. He's only reading to keep his mind focused and off Ran. ]

[ He's been having difficulty concentrating on anything lately because he's been constantly worried about his childhood friend. He closes the last of the mystery books he'd managed to find and tosses into the pile with all the others before sinking down into his pillows. Ran would be okay... wouldn't she? ]

[ He takes a calming breath and tucks his hands behind his head, staring fixedly at the ceiling... ]

RAAAAAN!

[ He wakes up in a cold sweat, immediately sitting up and breathing hard. What a Nightmare. ]

[ Conan's not in a good mood today. He's stille feeling jittery and shaky so to calm himself down as best as possible he's got soccer ball out and kicking it at the side of the house-when it bounces off he rushes to meet it and kick it again. ]

[ It helps. But he's obviously bothered by something as he keeps missing the small 'x' he drew on the side of the house with a piece of chalk. ]


((ooc: If you're curious about Conan's dream I've left a link to it as I wrote it out in a separate journal entry. Warning. It involves violence. ))

It wasn't supposed to make you feel better. It was supposed to point out the waste of energy it is to think or worry about it, when there are much more immediate concerns on which to use your concerns.

[Namely getting the hell out of here.]

[ He takes a calming breath and goes to retrieve his soccer ball. ]

...You're right.

I need to be focused on finding out more about Mayfield right now.

[There's a faint smile.]

I'm rarely wrong.

With it being so early though, everything is probably closed-although it would probably be a good time to talk to the Librarian freely.

Finally, you're thinking clearly. Off you go, then.

[Besides, Sherlock is thinking about a nap - or breakfast. And he'd rather do those things alone.]
