Pendergast does not appear to be surprised to find himself in the Nexus, though he raises an eyebrow at the sign. "Interesting," he murmurs, his long fingers straightening his tie. His voice is a soft Southern drawl.

"An inquiry, then. It has been said: When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the

"Consider how the impossible could be made possible, I suppose."

((*fangirls* ^_^))

[axl_pendergast]

He smiles. "That is the method I've been using most often."

((*hugs!* ^_^))

[gwyllgi_goblin]

"With obviously some measure of success?"

[axl_pendergast]

"In that looking at the logic of an impossible creature has shown us its weaknesses, yes."

Make sure your will is up-to-date, and go buy yourself a nice bottle of whiskey.

[axl_pendergast]

"My will is up to date, but I prefer a good sherry to whiskey."

[feline_casanova]

Never really developed a taste for sherry, but if that's what floats your boat. ::shrugs::

What kind of impossible are you looking at?

[axl_pendergast]

"I believe the specific case I am thinking of is that of a plant, which can heal minor illnesses and lengthen life, but which turns those who consume it into a human-lizard hybrid."

((FANGIRLS!! I love Pendergast and those books soooooo much!!))

[axl_pendergast]

((Hee, me too! He's so cool.))

[redheadspy]

((He's awesome. It's a shame the Relic movie cut Pendergast out completely. I also love D'agosta.))

[axl_pendergast]

((I seriously think that, and what the books did with Dr. Frock, was a concentrated effort on the part of Preston & Child to never have a sequel to that movie. *snickers*))

"Then the impossible is the improbable in this case,"

[axl_pendergast]

"That does seem to be the case."

[red_stain_robin]

"And you are a Sherlockian I presume?"

[axl_pendergast]

"I find his principles sound, though with some room for improvement."

[vicioussweetie]

"Be prepared to try, try again?"

[axl_pendergast]

"Try to prove it as an impossibility, or to accept it as impossible?"

[vicioussweetie]

"I thought you were trying to find the truth. Sorry, I must have misunderstood. I suppose if you're concerned with the impossible...both."

[axl_pendergast]

"I should have phrased my question differently, perhaps. I am concerned with what one should do when the truth is impossible."
