[He held his hand out, as if holding a pipe, brows knitting together]
Ah - yes, I believe I can come up with quite a plausible series of events that leaves you entirely out of the picture... so we are dealing with a clan of Lycanthropes? One with ready access to magic, and little qualms about using torture.
What else do you recall? Try to think, even the smallest detail may prove invaluable in narrowing down their location.
no subject
But all the same.] Quite right. The technology and building I was kept within...for all that I've been adjusting to technology here, it somehow felt beyond even that. It was somewhere in the Outlands- but I cannot speak much more precisely than that. I was unfortunately knocked out for the trip back, and on the way there simply blinded...
[He was in a purse. As it is, he explains what he can- what he saw, what he heard...and eventually, gets to the last of what he knows.]
I couldn't determine much from their conversations I shall admit, but if the name 'Zarkon' means anything to anyone at all, they seemed to consider him their 'emperor'. I know little of lycanthropes thus far, but it seems at least notable that there could be an entire empire of them with such habits. And...
[It's a little more difficult to bring this part forward- which is shameful, he's certain but...] They have at least one among them with experience in handling the undead. Or at the very least, someone with enough knowledge to attempt to exorcise me from my body.
[It failed. That much is clear with him right there but...]
...I'm afraid I can't explain much more however. There was simply so much before me, and so little I could properly understand- it shames me, but I cannot put more words to what was there to help identify their location and being.
no subject
[He repeats the name, before quickly typing it into his phone, along with emperor. And magitech use? The attempt at exorcism causes his head to tilt back up, his lips pursing into a thin line]
It's quite all right, few people can reliably recall things in a panic, that is why eye-witnesses alone do not solve a case. The name should give me something to go on. I'll be doing some research in the library.
no subject
[Nasty name, he thinks.] I do wish I could help- I suspect doing this sort of research would only draw violent attentions however...so I shall have to wish you better luck than myself, and keep my eye on those who I know I saw captured.
If any among us on the campus are likely to be under their sway still, it would certainly be them.
[And alright, so that technically includes him, but a mole would hardly be doing what HE is, so.]
no subject
[From anyone else, that would be an extremely arrogant boast - no, even from Sherlock it was still an arrogant statement, said with complete and utter confidence in his ability.]
Now, your granddaughter is, unfortunately, one such person - thankfully, her clear dislike of me would not make it suspicious for me to avoid her. Now it is merely a matter of identifying others affected by this...
On that note, as given I do not usually draw my curtains, we will come up with a plausible excuse - if anyone actually notices my doing so -
[He chuckles]
It would not be far from me to be breaking one of the few rules I set for this floor, feign an experiment that I asked you to assist me with, and few will raise their brows if asked.
no subject
Perhaps, an experiment in hamon; how effective would it be, in a situation where no other light is accessible?
[He knows full well that Hamon and Sherlock can't possibly mix, but even so, maybe Sherlock would go for that kind of risky experiment with enough distance.] It's only a simple excuse though. I imagine that simply saying 'an experiment' would suffice, wouldn't it?
