Who: Apt C-2, anyone (especially fellow Apt-Cers)
When: Day 58, night (slightly backdated)
Where: Apt C-2 & hallway
What: MY ~~hovercraft~~ FLAT IS FULL OF EEL

[God knows how this feat was managed, but somehow an intrepid soul has managed to a) kill a 10-foot eel and b) drag the sodding thing back to Apt C-2. Mostly. There's a bit of tail sticking out the open door and into the corridor, which is causing a certain doctor no end of consternation.]

Sherlock!

Perhaps we should collar him with a bell and a bowl of warm milk? [rubs his chin]

He would yowl constantly if we managed that.

Oh no, we don't need more noise. Perhaps some catnip then? A furry toy?

Catnip, certainly. Rolled into cigarettes.

I hear they are also quite fond of empty bags and boxes.

And terribly violent towards dogs.

[im assuming we both have stopped and suddenly come to the same realization]

...huh.

[indeed]

... yes. Well.

I can assure you, I have never had to litterbox train Holmes. Ever.

He's also much better at the violin than a cat would be.

Also, this would also explain why they don't get along.

Does that make us dogs, then?

At least we're considered friendly.

Less prone to catfighting with each other.

I say we should probably not mention this to them. They might take the analogy a bit too seriously.

Our secret is safe with us. Tea?

Certainly. I'll get the cups.

[rumages]

Did yours agree?

He was interested, even. Not quite so enthused about working with yours, though.

Same here.

He did bring up a possibility I was hoping wouldn't be true.

What possibility?

What if the gods are the common factor? If their magic caused these comas?

[goes very still and pale at that.]

... It is impossible to avoid. And - there are priests who are more wound up in their magic.

[something smells fishy]

Think about it, what would be the most obvious thing in common between those that lived in the world before and us now? I don't want to think about it either, but the same thought crossed my mind.

Do you suppose these priests would be able to get more information from the gods than we can?

Especially since it is a repetition of something that came before.

[thinking really hard about this. also, this awkwardness is probably highly familiar. he's hiding something.]

Possibly, yes. I can - make some inquiries. With people.

Right.

[giving you one of those looks he usually reserves for Holmes]
