⚘ Safe For Work only.

⚘ Muti Muse blog. Please specify who you're talking to. Muse list below.

⚘ Sherlock is fictional, @cartoonboingsfx isn't. Use common sense when asking things. I am an adult.

⚘ Sherlock is fictional, but also bloody insensitive. But just ask and we'll make him magically nicer to you.

⚘ Character's opinions and views are not my own. Be prepared for 2010s humour, time appropriate attitudes towards gender and sexuality, ect. "Ect" in this case being serial murder-suicides, theft, blackmail, and the occasional act of high treason.

⚘ Refrain from proselytizing or topics of religion.

⚘ Check all bonfires for hedgehogs, small birds, and drugged army doctors before igniting.

🎻- Several, as always. The most recent of which is proving to be interesting. Three murders, three watches stolen off the bodies, then pawned off and eventually located as they resurfaced on other people's wrists. Victims all wealthy women, no apparent connections other than that they all wore wristwatches.

⚕️- And the murders are different. Two different causes of death: The first one was blunt force, the other two were shot. We're thinking the first one was a crime of passion or opportunity. And the killer either changed styles for some reason or...maybe there are two of them?

🎻 - First one was carried out personally, an accident. The perpetrator realizes murder is necessary to their plans, they commit to it. They hire a hitman for the other two, it's clear from the angle of the shot in the last one: Sniper on the roof, professional killshot. But the watches... Pawned off? Why pawn them off after you kill them just to get it? Nothing else stolen, including far more more expensive jewelry... OH. *He claps, which makes both Em and John jump a little.*

⚕️ - So? *He looks up from the computer, expectant.*

So, the watch's value isn't monetary. Not to the perp. And whatever it was that mattered to them, they either didn't find what they were looking for, or removed it and then could safely pawn it off. Still, there must be a link. I'm missing something. Why three... No ties between watch manufacturers. Yet. We'll have to dig deeper. All different models, different sizes, different styles, the only similarity being they're all digital. Not smartwatches, but ones with an electronic clock face, a digital display. *He sits to think.*

Statistically speaking we're looking for a man, bit early to tell but given all victims were women it's likely. Whoever this is doesn't like to get their own hands dirty, likely wealthy if they knew the victims personally.

⚕️- Did Lestrade get the victims personal files yet? I only got the autopsy ones.

*Eyes closed, he's stretched back out on the sofa, fingers steepled at his chin contemplatively.* Still waiting for clearance. I need to see relationships, friends, family. We'll see if any of their connections fit the bill, any sudden holidays.

That, and John has suggested I post about it anyway. So I have attached a picture of him so you can see him, and so John and Em will leave me alone.

Aaaaa thank youuu (ooc naturally lol)

🎻 - Owl. I've never decided on what kind. Barn owls have the most fitting facial structure for a mask though I am partial to a darker colour.

⚕️ - Orange and white Brittany Spaniel.

🎻 - MmmNo you'd be a field mouse or a hedgehog.

⚕️ - ...Okay. So you think 13 year old me chose wrong. Why??

🎻 - Because you would be. Thirteen? Did you get a suit? Must have been expensive.

⚕️ - Yes, just a head and gloves, wasn't supposed to be a full suit. I think you'd be an otter. You look like one sometimes.

🎻 - I do not! I look like a barn owl.

➗ - You look like a cat. Act like one, too. That's what I'd be, some sort of big cat. Like a Lynx or a Cougar.

aaa

I wanna be home and redesigning this blogs colour scheme but I'm employed.

I've had season three on the mind (palace), so I drew what happened in the AU.

Is Knots at all aware of magic? Does he know Jim is a vampire?

If magic is hidden, is Mycroft aware of it?

- 💖Inspector Pookie💖

No, no, kind of, and yes he does. Knots is in a heavy denial of anything but cold hard reality, and will chalk up what very real hauntings and supernatual elements that have featured in his cases to hallucinations, sickness, drugging, mass hysteria, and whatever else his clever mind can warp to fit the occasion.

Jim, being only half-vampire on his mothers side, is relatively unaffected by the usual debilitations of vamphood. A severe iron deficiency, for which he has supplements, is the extent of the condition. Which is not to say it is pleasant, but it is explainable in ordinary terms and Knots waves away the fangs as a body modification. Vampire-worshiping cults are common.
