[is this a bad idea. yes, probably.]

I imagine there's no shortage of cases here.

Permatext.

[sh_consulting]

one must establish a reputation, I suppose.

Permatext.

[anagrammatist]

That shouldn't be terribly difficult. I only wish I had something to offer.

[sh_consulting]

Most tend not to wish for misfortune to solve.

I'm sure something will turn up.

[anagrammatist]

I should rephrase then. It would be interesting to watch you work.

[look at this stabbing at the dark he's doing here. but seriously. those initials. he can't not suspect.]

[sh_consulting]

[If Tom looked back a little ways, he would find another post with the same initials, and the name 'Sherlock Holmes' above them.]

I generally don't have an audience.

[anagrammatist]

[Tom is completely hopeless with the communicators sadly, but he is definitely looking now. It just might. take a bit.]

I would count police officers as an audience myself. Though I suppose they don't take kindly to others being near, do they?

[sh_consulting]

Rarely.

I think they would take insult to being told they are an audience. [Though... Sherlock does not at all disagree. :| ]

[anagrammatist]

Most people dislike being informed they're inferior in some way.

[sh_consulting]

But most people are.

[anagrammatist]

I'm sure that only adds to the irritation. Knowing one is hardly unique.

[sh_consulting]

People do seem to abhor the truth.

[anagrammatist]

Indeed.

How are you doing, Mr. Holmes, after losing three days to sleep?

[sh_consulting]

[A quick frown - how did he know it was three da--- ah. He mentioned it in another conversation. Of course.]

As well as can be expected.

[anagrammatist]

[Well, it was nice to have the confirmation.]

That's good to hear.

[sh_consulting]

And the reason for your concern?
