Case 5

[unnaturalpause]

[Filtered to Friends]

If any of you hear about a Dr. Watson presently in the clinic and bed ridden because of the, thing, presently lurking in the castle is it not myself. Though I do urge you, that if you are bitten by something that you alert anyone from the clinic or myself. I would rather not see any of you in the clinic because of whatever it is.


[That aside it takes him a moment to continue on with what he needs to say and when he says it he sounds rather tired.]

Henry Foss has gone home, for those that knew him here. As far as I am aware, he has a rather bright future ahead of him.

[And he clears his throat before going on. Someone should probably say this (and Helen is the master of delegating or some such thing).]

There is a being lurking about the castle at large, and causing the, current state of the patients in the clinic. It is attacking residents, seemingly at random, and by the broadness of the race and age of those attacked, nothing is any guaranteed protection from this.

I urge you if you have a residence outside of the castle to take advantage of it for the present time.

[With that said and done James is going to turn back to his work in the clinic, looking all the worse for wear after the last day of this.]

((OOC: Open over the journal and in the clinic.))

[ James Watson ]

[He's reading the journal mostly silently. He's not interested in being dragged into digressive conversations -- he just wants whatever data he can find, scrounging through recordings of the attacks and the descriptions and theories presented by other residents.

When he reaches this entry, though, there's a very audible scoff before he writes in a filter.]

Your concern is heartwarming.

[ Sherlock Holmes ]

[Oh do shut up Sherlock just because you're cranky about John doesn't mean you should scoff good advice.

No really it doesn't.]

It is meant for those more, likely to understand and listen and can not aide us in this task. Nothing more to it then that I assure you. [And Helen made him do it but he's not going to say that.]

[ James Watson ]

[workaphilic]

Then you should have left me out of it.

[ Sherlock Holmes ]

[unnaturalpause]

I put it to get in touch with those I see as friends, Sherlock. You did not have to answer if you did not wish to.

[Jerk.]

[ James Watson ]

[workaphilic]

I don't want to be included in a filter like that. Leave me out next time.

[His tone is calm and even, but the claws are definitely coming out. Friends? No. He doesn't need any more of those, obviously.]

[ Sherlock Holmes ]

[unnaturalpause]

In order for such a filter to work, you also have to consider me a friend Sherlock.
