Only yesterday, Robin had asked of Edgeworth what he needed. He'd answered that he'd needed his work. This had, of course, been perfectly true; without his work, this would be a completely unproductive week, and the very thought was altogether offensive to him. He was eternally grateful to her, indeed, for having brought that work to him. But, like a damn fool, he'd completely neglected to ask her to bring him food; in the morning, he'd searched the cabinets to find them completely bare. He was hardly going to call her up to ask her to play courier for him; he was, as of yet, not quite that entitled. And nor for that matter could he ask for an actual courier, since he didn't have any cash. So, the morning of the seventeenth, the third day of these damnable, miserable powers, he tramped down to the food market that was most likely to be abandoned ( ... )

It was unfortunate that even Siren's Port had a Sunday lull. Getting to the shop would be easier if he had people's shadows to jump between. As it was, a five minute walk took half an hour while clinging to buildings in two dimensions. When he became whole again after slipping through the automatic doorway, he focused on his feet. To only keep them solid wasn't quite as difficult as his entire body, and there was less danger of falling through concrete and into the sewer system here.

This allowed the rest of his mind to stay as active as always, but of course he never considered its effect on telepaths. Sherlock's mind was not unlike a computer. While the main function was obvious, a thousand processes were running in the background, even more furiously than the idea at hand.

Reading minds was not completely like listening to others. In regular noise, after all, there was never any risk that one would mistake one's own voice for another's; one had to put forth the effort to speak, one could feel one's throat moving, and one could process within the mind whether the voice was external and was being received or whether it had originated in one's mind and proceeded from there to voice. When one read another's mind...There was always confusion over who had thought what. And that difference was fundamental and terrifying.

Nevertheless, there were certain similarities. People did have their own voice, after a fashion, which was why Edgeworth could spend time more easily with the likes of Re-l and Merlin - their thoughts were distinct enough from his own that there was less danger of being confused. The noise varied depending upon proximity, as well. And, just as in speech, there were certain people whose mental voices carried.One had just entered the store ( ... )

If Sherlock's thoughts were visible as well as audible, one would be able to compare it to an electron cloud in which he was the nucleus. And if he was thinking extensively, so would the cloud expand. The trouble was, Sherlock was always thinking extensively. He was using his feet to test the physical composition of the floors, while he strategically searched for the refrigerators. He was thinking of how this might be affecting John at the hospital, and the predicament of not being able to text. That was one of the most vexing ( ... )
