ADVENTURE 003: Jobs are Dull

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Action; Pharmacy.]

[Sherlock had heard about the possibility of being droned, so here he is at work. And he's actually, you know, working. He's not here for his own gain, nor to do research. And he's actually pointing customers in the right direction, after telling them something about themselves they'd rather keep hidden. He doesn't sound like he wants to help. He sounds more like he's here under threat of punishment - which is pretty much true.]

Need help with anything?


[Action; City Bench.]

[Sherlock is reading a book - or pretending to. He's actually watching drones and people milling about. He's hoping to try to think his way out of this place. And he's hoping by observing others, he'll learn something.]

"It smelled like the stuff that you put in recupurrapods..! You're not supposed to eat that, because it does things to your head, but Gamz33 always ate it..!"

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[A smirk appears.]

Well... that's very insightful of you.

[Because Cocaine messes with his head, but it does make him feel better - for awhile.]

[est33medpouncellor]

"Mnnn..?" She's suddenly looking at you with a fair amount of confusion- if you were like Gamzee, you'd probably be slaughtering everything in sight at the moment so...

"Misturr Holmes, do you have purroblems with nightterrurrs like trolls do?" There's a reason this stuff goes in their bed you know.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

N-nightmares? What sorts?

[He might. He's not sure he wants to tell a troll he does, though. And well, it's really only since his fall, so only since he's been in Mayfield. That is why he sleeps less here than he did back home.]

[est33medpouncellor]

"Just 'nightterrurrs' really. There's a reason recupurrapods smell like that smell."

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

You take... medicine to help with the nightmares?

[est33medpouncellor]

"Nope! We sl33p in it." Wow, what-

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

You. Sleep. In medicine?

[Color Sherlock a most appropriate shade of confused.]

[est33medpouncellor]

"Yea, Sopurr slime! Othurrwise we end up having terrurrble things in our head..!" BLOOD THROESSSSSS

Yea it's best not to leave them without it on their world- actually...

"Hn! But here, I don't have to worry about that! I don't think the othurrs do either, h33 h33~"

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Sopur Slime?

[Yeah, still confused.]

You sleep in... slime.

[est33medpouncellor]

"That's what it's called~ And that's what it is~"

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

And you enjoy it? I thought cats liked to be clean.

[est33medpouncellor]

"Well, it's a lot betturr than having deadly night terrurrs in your think-pan..! And Pounce always helped make sure I got purrfectly clean afturr~"

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Then I don't think it was anything like... what was wrong with me.

[Erm, yes. This is... he doesn't know what to do with this.]

[est33medpouncellor]

"It is so! Cause you're not surrposed to eat stuff like sopurr..! You had the smell of someone who does!" Nepeta is having none of your not-quite-excuses excuses 'misturr'.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Well, that shows how much you know. I didn't eat it. And when it comes to slime, I run experiments on it.

[He sounds a touch indignant at what she's suggesting.]

[est33medpouncellor]

Nepeta is judging you Holmes.

Judgingggggg. "Well you put something that wasn't surrposed to go in your body in there." Wow, vague enough??

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock rolls his eyes.]

Obviously you don't know how my body works.

[It clearly needed to be there in his opinion.]

[est33medpouncellor]

"Well, I know what I smelled, and my nose nevurr lies."

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Your nose has never smelled me before that night...

[Good, Sherlock. Argue with the - cat-troll-person-thing. Yeah.]

[est33medpouncellor]

"No." But...

"But I can smell you now, and I know my scents..!"

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

And you were certain that night that I smelled 'wrong'...

[Which, you know, he actually does remember. Now that he knows he wasn't hallucinating it.]

Guess it wasn't such a bad trip after all...

[est33medpouncellor]

"Yes! Because even if it wasn't sopurr it still had that sort of smell..!"

...What.

"Trip?"

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[He waves her question off.]

Fine. Whatever. What do you want now?

[Because he's getting bored this time.]

sometimes Nepeta sees things. And then doesn't realize what she sees aT ALL. :'D

[est33medpouncellor]

"I was just saying 'hi'!~" WOW REALLY.

"You looked kinda distracted by something, cause you had a book but you weren't reading it at all..!" YOU KEPT NOT LOOKING AT IT WHO DOES THAT-
