case file #1: the master criminal

[worldsonly]

Since evidently Moriarty has chosen to resume his profession, I give the police force on this island two days before they are completely out of their depth and he is running the place. When that happens, you'll need me.

As my original website is locked I have rebuilt it on the island servers. You can find it here: www. thescienceofdeduction.co.nm Contact either myself or Dr John Watson at North 301.


[ note: the new moore version of Sherlock's website is basically exactly the same as the real one, only the forum is empty and the Hidden Messages folder has been replaced with one titled "New Moore". it contains a neatly bulleted list of his deductions on, obviously, New Moore, though no definite conclusion or even a theory has been proposed. ]

You really haven't learned much about humility since you've arrived have you?

[worldsonly]

What's the point?

[bakerst-blogger.livejournal.com]

Well you were sour for days after that Doctor fellow embarrassed you. Thought that might have humbled you a little.

[worldsonly]

I wasn't embarrassed.

[bakerst-blogger.livejournal.com]

Really? Then what would you have called it?

[reanimated]

Well it's not like the police do much here anyway, mate.

[worldsonly]

Frustrated.

I'm still the only person in the world capable of challenging Moriarty.

[bakerst-blogger.livejournal.com]

Probably, but he's clever too, so don't discount him. He had you going out of your head, anyway, and I'd say that's a result.

[worldsonly]

Nothing new under the sun, then.

[reanimated]

Exactly. Well we're all waiting patiently for you to figure out the mystery of New Moore, though you've pretty much got fuck all going in your favour.

[worldsonly]

Of course you'd think that. No one ever notices anything useful.

[worldsonly]

Ugh.

[reanimated]

Or I've been here long enough to know nothing about this place makes sense?

[bakerst-blogger.livejournal.com]

It's okay, Sherlock. There are still plenty of people who still admire you and all that you do, I promise.

[worldsonly]

You overestimate my reputation and underestimate my capacity to care. Besides, it wasn't working on me.

[worldsonly]

Which is usually when I'm called in anyway.

[bakerst-blogger.livejournal.com]

You weren't convinced at all? Not even a little?

[worldsonly]

[ why would you be asking this unless ]

Why? Are you?

[bakerst-blogger.livejournal.com]

It doesn't seem very likely, but then, before I arrived here, I didn't think of myself as a work of fiction, either.

[worldsonly]

You're not. No one could ever invent you, John, least of all Moriarty.

[bakerst-blogger.livejournal.com]

I...

I'm not sure what to say. Um...

Thank you, Sherlock. That was kind of you.

[worldsonly]

I don't do 'kind,' I do 'true.'

[bakerst-blogger.livejournal.com]

But the point is that you didn't have to. And that, at least in this instance, is kind.

ew feelings

[worldsonly]

Of course I had to. I can't have you thinking you've been invented by a criminal, if you're going to start believing that lunatic I'd have to find another blogger.

[bakerst-blogger.livejournal.com]

You love to feel them, yes you do.

I never said I actually believed him. Just that I didn't know what to believe anymore. It's about as plausible as anything else that's happened since we left London.
