13-Accidental voice (In which Karma comes a knocking)

[jimfromit]

[About late morning residents will hear Moriarty's voice over the journals

Only there's something different. The confidence and smugness is gone. It's been replaced with terror and confusion.]

What?, oh my god this...this isn't Kitty's flat?

[ There’s a lot of crashing and banging going on...like somebody's getting off a bed in a blind panic and knocking over  ornaments and books on shelves in the process.]

Oh no no no, somebody help me please! I've been kidnapped.

Please whoever you are don't hurt me. I'm just a simple kid's storyteller, I...I can't be of any use or value to you.

Just let me go.

...Moriarty? [what the hell man]

[antichauffeur]

Whoa, dude. Calm down. [not familiar enough with this guy, so he's just going to assume he's a newbie]

Try and breathe, and look for a book or journal that's near you.

[siebter]

Are you okay? Don't worry, you'll be fine here.

[Dictated]

[modernholmes]

[That was a familiar voice. That was not a familiar attitude. Conan was becoming interested.]

Did something happen, Mr. Moriarty? You already know we've all been kidnapped.

[jimfromit]

Moriarty?

Oh god this is about that job isnt it? Look I'm sorry for the deception, I just needed the money that's all.

I didn't mean to hurt anyone.

[prettyknives]

What? [she's starting to rethink her allies here]

[jimfromit]

I'm fine I'm just....in shock

This is a lot to take in...where am I?

[jimfromit]

[Oh Clove...he'd apologise but his original personality is on ice at the minute]

You mean I'm not here because I pretended to be a master criminal to help Mr Holmes publicity?

Then...why am I here?

[jimfromit]

Ok Ok I'll have a look around.

[Mumbling] Hearing voices now...c'mon Rich get it together. Don't crack up.

[He finds the journal.]

Oh that’s clever...It even writes down the words as you talk.

[jimfromit]

I'm...I'm not Moriarty.

I'm Richard Brook the storyteller from TV.

[Almost crying.] You do one job for a shady character and you pay for it for life.

[modernholmes]

[Even more interesting.]

Mr. Brook, then. Do you need any help?

What do you mean by shady character?

[dictated]

[not_like_the_rest]

[Oh goodie! Fun times.]

You aren't kidnapped.

[prettyknives]

[yeah well both of you have gone nuts, so...]

Because Paradisa likes tormenting you, I guess.

[siebter]

You're in a castle called Paradisa. But it's okay!

[cheerupemoborg]

[Nnnnnnot buyin' it. Whats he up to?]

'Kitty'?

[workaphilic]

[Guess who's stalking this like his life depends on it?

It's a trick by the castle without a doubt -- Moriarty isn't boring enough to try and torture him by playing the same trick twice -- and somehow that makes it worse, that this person bumbling around the journal actually thinks themselves genuine.

('Sherlock: The Shocking Truth. Close Friend Richard Brook Tells All.')

It resurrects all the anger without any of the intellectual appreciation.

He lights a cigarette and fights the urge to ash it in the middle of the journal's pages.]

[jimfromit]

[Honey he was nuts before this loss set in...he was just good at hiding it.]

But but that's not fair.

What is Paradisa?

[jimfromit]

A castle...like in the fairy tales?

Thats not so bad.

[prettyknives]

[well to be fair she's pretty crazy too]

The castle you're in right now.

[jimfromit]

I need a glass of water...Is there anywhere I can get a glass of water to calm my nerves?

Why why should I even talk to you? You could be working for him as far as I know.

[jimfromit]

[ Hey it's not like he'll be over the moon about being turned into a gibbering, cowering imbecile.]

[confidente]

[ Look who is also stalking this like his life depends on it?

Yup. John is. And he is practically livid.

It's a caste trick obviously, even John knows that Moriarty wouldn't use the same trick twice. But that does little to make him feel better, in fact it only makes it worse.

He fights every urge he has to grab his gun and shoot something (preferably him).

The castle has a poor sense of humor and John isn't laughing. ]

[siebter]

Yeah! It's really nice here, too! Isn't it?

[modernholmes]

The kitchen. It's on the first floor of the building.

I'm eight.

[jimfromit]

Kitty Reilly...She's my friend.

I've been staying with her for a few days...I've run into abit of trouble lately.
