trapped souls in the afterglow, clear as a ghost, the chant echoes

WHO: [livejournal.com profile] sh_consulting meets [livejournal.com profile] formidophobia
WHERE: Green-Wood Cemetery
WHEN: 4 o'clock in the morning. Totally legit.
WARNINGS: Spookiness??
SUMMARY: Forewarned is forearmed, or at least fore-interested, as Sherlock proves, coming to visit a guy he knows is dangerous at the dead of night in a cemetery. Jon doesn't actually know who he's invited out or he'd have suggested meeting at the Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall or something.
FORMAT: Lazyspam for me.



[It was a still night, not a whisper of wind to stir the grass at Jon's feet as he stood before the impressive monument, where marble angels knelt in silent submission all around. It was arresting.

And yet, for all the pounds-per-square-inch of sculpt there were, dead was dead, and alive was so much more alive. A rudimentary wooden cross to mark a passing life could no more revivify than could all the marble palaces in memoriam.

His eyes glinted with the yellow light as he waited, leaning his skinny body against the grave to the right of the monument, thinking over the man he was supposed to meet here. What had intrigued him immediately wasn't the drug use - he'd seen plenty of that in the streets, people so desperate for happiness they'd shoot talcum powder and snort canned air, and he'd woven a snidely superior thread around cokeheads and criminals of varied stripe, a dozen minds all alone in the same room while he bartered with a dealer over dollars and cents.

No. The man didn't talk like a junkie. Didn't act like a junkie. He spoke like a learned man. And he was hiding something, Jon was sure.

And he intended to find out what was buried under Mr. Holmes' inarguably impressive mental monument.]
