backdated before sherlock's clinic log! if that's cool with you. whatsolarsystem June 22 2011, 03:31:28 UTC

[Sherlock Holmes finds many ways to distract himself from the mundane day-to-day activities of the Thor, or of life in general. The pursuit of knowledge in the form of books is usually one of the more effective distractions.

So the consulting detective is entering the new bookshop, gazing around and taking in any details about the new location, as he does out of mere habit.]

Sure? XD manicuredangel June 22 2011, 04:14:20 UTC

[Aziraphale looks up from his cocoa. Oh dear... Not another customer. Hopefully he won't want to buy anything.]

Ah... Er... Hullo.

:3 whatsolarsystem June 22 2011, 04:39:44 UTC

[Sherlock gazes over at the shopkeeper, who for some reason looks less than excited about seeing a new customer. He raises a brow, and speaks dryly. This, however, is nothing new.]

Afternoon.

manicuredangel June 22 2011, 04:42:56 UTC

[He puts on his best game face.]

Er... Is there anything in particular I can help you find?

whatsolarsystem June 22 2011, 04:44:53 UTC

[Sherlock isn't completely convinced by that game face, but not that it matters. He's here to look, nonetheless.]

Just here to browse. I take it that's allowed?

manicuredangel June 22 2011, 04:47:46 UTC

Of course not.

whatsolarsystem June 23 2011, 04:29:43 UTC

Then I'll just have a look around.

[With that, off he goes to a certain bookshelf, running a hand over the spine of a few. Quite the collection, here.]

manicuredangel June 23 2011, 04:33:23 UTC

[He watches him while pretending to read.]

whatsolarsystem June 23 2011, 04:49:10 UTC

[Does Sherlock note this out of the corner of his eye? Hard to tell. Either way... it seems like he doesn't care too terribly.

He spots one particular tome, a collection of many stories, and nearly scoffs. He pulls it off the shelf and turns it over, inspecting it with a dry look.

If Aziraphale is observant, he might notice that the book collects the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.]

manicuredangel June 23 2011, 04:57:31 UTC

[Oh... Oh dear... He's getting a bad feeling about this.]

whatsolarsystem June 23 2011, 05:00:29 UTC

[Don't worry, Aziraphale... he's not going to buy it. (His roommate already has a copy.)]

[When he speaks, he doesn't look at Aziraphale, but it's obvious Sherlock is addressing him.]

Seems like I can't escape this man's work.

manicuredangel June 23 2011, 05:02:34 UTC

[The angel blinks.]

Er... I'm sorry?

whatsolarsystem June 23 2011, 05:09:33 UTC

This. [He flips through the pages and then closes it shut with a sense of finality.] This book. Or rather the stories in this book. When one becomes aware of their supposed 'author', [can you hear the air quotes in his tone?] one can't help but see the works of said author everywhere.

manicuredangel June 23 2011, 05:13:05 UTC

[He regards him curiously.]

Are you trying to say you're a character in from that book?

whatsolarsystem June 23 2011, 05:20:13 UTC

Excellent. That's exactly what I'm saying. [He places the book back on the shelf.] And I'd rather not spoil any of my cases.

manicuredangel June 23 2011, 05:32:14 UTC

Your cases...? [His brows furrow.] Are you by chance Mr. Holmes?
