Argh! OMG, the tension... I can't stand it!

For some reason the image of the 'lonely coffee mug' seems really poignant. I don't think I've ever felt this way about a mug before... how do you do that?!

Please don't make us wait too long for the next (and next) installments of this! I see your 'anarion is evil' tag and it strikes fear into the heart... it's only a couple of hours until tomorrow... perhaps an early posting?

*adopts hopeful expression*

[chocolamousse]

There. Feeling better now? :-)

[verityburns]

You know what's just popped into my head? The thought that if I were to walk past that table I would twist the mugs so that the handles were touching.

FFS. Now I'm shipping crockery. I think I may need help.

Send a doctor.
(And tell him to bring a friend.)

[chocolamousse]

O-kay. Wait. Ah, there. Feeling better now? (God, you're so demanding!)

[chocolamousse]

The strong smell of nail varnish and the pool of blood on the floor.
*smiles nervously*
Well, nothing says it's Sherlock's blood. And I'm certain it's not his nail varnish.

Oh the suspense. And there are three parts. And, knowing you, you're going to post them with a dropper. Days and days of angst on the horizon... But the worst is there's a "friendship" tag. No, wait, there's a "slash" tag too. I can cope with the angst now. :D

[anarion]

And, knowing you, you're going to post them with a dropper. Days and days of angst on the horizon...
You know me so well! :D

Sorry, the friendship tag was not supposed to be there.

[anarion]

And I'm certain it's not his nail varnish.
Maybe you should talk to Atlin about this topic. :P

[chocolamousse]

What... Varnish nail too? For God's sake isn't henna enough? Anarion, don't let her corrupt you! :D

[treelight]

Awww, what are you doing! A cliff-hanger, and it's as huge as Sherlock's ego!

Please, pretty please, continue this as soon as possible.
Damn it, with these few words you manage to make me want to look for Sherlock or help John find him in any way possible.

[sabrinaphynn]

Aiiii!
Worried, but certainly everything will work out in the end, yes?!

Ok, must admit I am with John on the nail varnish, not my favorite smell either...

[tamzette]

Gasp! It's another cliffhanger!
Anarion is indeed evil, as per the tag!

*Looks at the tags again after reading the comments*
Oh, ok, there's a slash tag there too... that mitigates the evilness somewhat... but still!!!

One tiny nitpick... this sentence sounds wrong to me...
he realised two things at once. The strong smell of nail varnish and the pool of blood on the floor.
I think it should be "he noticed two things at once" or "he sensed..."
"Realise" needs a slightly different part of speech "he realised that there was a strong smell of nail varnish and a pool of blood on the floor" would be ok.

[anarion]

*evil grin*

Ha, I knew something about that sentence was wrong! Thank you!

[tamzette]

I feel like I was kinda channelling chocolamousse there... Hehe
