WHO: Topher and Sherlock
WHERE: Rossum Labs
WHEN: Monday afternoon
WARNINGS: nada
SUMMARY: Topher is nosy and Sherlock is Sherlock
FORMAT: action



[Boyd had told him to get more familiar with the departments, so Topher was using today to wander around and generally get into everyone's business. It was odd to walk around the building when back home he had only had to concern himself with his own department, but without Adelle or anyone else from home Boyd said Topher was his Number Two. That meant something important didn't it?

Down the corridors he wandered into various labs, but most were empty as people took the day off to continue whatever festivities they had planned with family and friends. Topher walked into a seemingly empty lab and began to poke about.]

[Sherlock was somewhat of a wild creature at Rossum. Hired on a contract basis, the hours he kept were very irregular - and half his experiments he dragged home with him. But sometimes, sometimes, one could find him in the lab that Boyd had provided him.

His current experiment revolved around postmortem bruising - it was one that he'd carried out at home, but was expanding the parameters of it here. Laying out all the necessary data before he started trying it using people who had powers. For now it mostly just involved dead bodies and pieces of dead bodies, and hitting them with various things.

Luckily, at that moment, he was not abusing a corpse, but was in fact hunched over a microscope, a slide of bruised tissue under his watchful eye.

He was, however, around a corner out of sight from the door, so he heard his visitor before he saw him.]


And here I was under the impression it would be a quiet day.

[Sherlock hadn't looked up, and still wasn't, even as he heard the man come around the corner. Small white notes were hanging in the air by his head - long calculations on the rate of bruising and descriptions of it. He turned a knob on the microscope.]

It's been a while since any of them were able to scream, and I tend not to.

[Sherlock's eyes snapped up at that, narrowing, the detailed list blinking out of existence.]

It's a baseline experiment, and I assure you I am very thorough.

[As if to illustrate his point, the notes appeared again - but this time they were not about his experiment. Instead, they hovered around his visitor, marking every detail - the cut, make and brand of his clothes, the type of fabric, the wear patters, any scars of blemishes, any callouses or flecks of mud or small ink stains. The exact number of creases in the skin and a base calculation of the man's weight, age, origin of accent, and then presumed birth place. Even, as he was slowly growing accustomed to, noticing if any of the above were from somewhere other than this universe. The notes flashed and blinked out in rapid succession, all within seconds.]

I was given access to forensic research in exchange for other research avenues.

[He frowns darkly as his space is invaded.]

Dexter? [What does that even mean.]

No. Sherlock Holmes.
