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's possible... have to dig up the grave to know for sure...

Re: [ Action - Bench ]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Indeed. I'm surprised no one has done that yet.

[ Action - Bench ]

[1_truth]

I was going to do it, but then that carnival got in the way. Not long after that I had more pressing concerns back home to deal with.

Re: [ Action - Bench ]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

And what's stopping you now?

[ Action - Bench ]

[1_truth]

Daylight.

Re: [ Action - Bench ]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock sighs.]

I meant in general, not this moment specifically.

[ Action - Bench ]

[1_truth]

Nothing, I'll probably look into it tonight.

Re: [ Action - Bench ]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock nods approvingly.]

Let me know what you learn.

[ Action - Bench ]

[1_truth]

...Actually...

Do you think you could lend me a hand? I mean.. I could do it by myself if I were-ah-bigger. But since I have the strength of a seven year old... it might work out better if someone were to..um.. help.

Re: [ Action - Bench ]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

I suppose.....

[He sounds like this would be doing Conan some huge favor, but in truth he really wants to be there!]

[ Action - Bench ] Pfft. I'm waiting to hear back form mods about what they'd find

[1_truth]

[ Limited Social Skills means that went right over his head. ]

Besides, being a child, I'd probably have a curfew or something to worry about. Don't want to get caught by the wrong person.

[ Desecrating graves. Good bonding time. ]

Re: [ Action - Bench ] kk

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Well, surely if you're out with the "Father of the house" the curfew can be waved?

[As if Sherlock really cares about laws anyway.]

[ Action - Bench ]

[1_truth]

Most likely.

Re: [ Action - Bench ]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Then we have no trouble at all.

[Which is really too bad, Sherlock hopes there will be some challenge at some point.]

[ Action - Bench ]

[1_truth]

I wouldn't be so sure. If there's anything there worth finding, then there's bound to be someone nearby that will try and stop us.

[ Pfft. If Conan is around there is always trouble. He's a magnet for it. ]

Re: [ Action - Bench ]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Ah. That would be interesting at least.

[There's a hint of a smirk.]

[ Action - Bench ]

[1_truth]

Tch. I think I've had my fill of getting caught.

Re: [ Action - Bench ]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Oh I never said anything about getting caught. But the thrill of the chance that you might get caught. That's rather good.

[Yes, he's grinning like a loon, what?]

[ Action - Bench ]

[1_truth]

[ Conan's not so sure he agrees with that. Maybe two years ago he would have. But now that everything seems to rely well one secret can be kept... it's not exactly a comforting thought. ]

I don't really see it that way anymore.

Re: [ Action - Bench ]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Then you are too caught up in what isn't important. It's the thrill of the chase, the excitement of the research, the proving your theories are correct that is important.

[Well, in Sherlock's overly logical mind.]

[ Action - Bench ]

[1_truth]

That part, I'll agree with- knowing you've found the one truth hidden amongst the lies, and bringing it to light is the best feeling in the world.

But, depending on the threats the case presents, I've learned to avoid the risk of getting caught if at all possible. However, that doesn't mean I won't take a risk if I have too.

Re: [ Action - Bench ]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

I wish the media were half so smart. I wouldn't have had to...

[He breaks off. He really needs to stop thinking about that.]

[ Action - Bench ]

[1_truth]

Hm? What did the Media do?

Re: [ Action - Bench ]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Humm?

[That breaks him out of the memory.]

Oh nothing. Doesn't matter.

[Called him a fake, so yes it really does matter.]

[ Action - Bench ]

[1_truth]

[ Raising an eyebrow now. ]

I hope you don't think I'm going to believe that.
