[Look who has got over his reservation over your 'video function' and is expressing himself via the medium of moving pictures? Watson -- no, no. The other Watson -- with the moustache? Yeah, him. He looks pretty pleased with himself.]

If you're anything like the man I know, Mr. Sherlock Holmes -- and I rather think you are -- then there is nothing you enjoy more than a good dissection. Well, have I got the present for you.

[Look! Watson's been collecting bits of ice-faerie. None are whole, unfortunately, but there's enough identifiable pieces to do an ... autopsy.]

I'll be bringing these over to -- it's Odin, isn't it? Watson, is, of course, welcome to attend. As is anyone with an interest in figuring these things out.

((ooc: open to action/all sorts of hi-jinks))

[He grimaces - it's a touchy subject, sorry.]

Plenty of ways. Usually involvin' comin' in contact with a supernatural creature.

[They may be slow about it, but eventually, they make it inside.]

Y'got more experience with surgery, don'tcha?

[Bobby spends more time killing the supernatural than dissecting them.]

Their existence isn't widely known then?

[Progress! Let's head for the kitchen.]

Well, that's true -- although I'm not sure that it's a surgeon's scapel or an ice pick we need in this case.

((keep an eye on the action thread below this one! Sam might be jumping in and I highly encourage thread-jacking/mingling/etc.))

The public can't deal.

[It's also nice knowing many people can sleep easy at night. He follows Watson wherever he's headed, not being too picky with where they do the autopsy.

He snorts at that.]

Probably both. I got this crowbar if we need it.

[ooc: Sounds good! Should I reply there after this?]

[Watson's very conscious of the panic caused by Blackwood's engineered 'resurrection' -- Fear that could have been only too effectively used to manipulate the Great British public.]

You're right about that. But where does that leave you -- the authorities ... ?

Good man. We may well be using that.

((you know, I'm not sure! Either options works I think!))

[Snort]

Authorities know jack shit.

[You can imagine how that goes for hunters trying to do their jobs. 8|]

[Americans certainly haven't lost their turn of a phrase.]

A free agent. That must certainly pose some difficulties.

That's puttin' it lightly.

[He's more matter-of-fact about it than bitter. It's just part of the job description.]

Not many in your line of work then. A pity -- it's experience like that we'll need here.

[Watson's thinking beyond the ice faeries to the rumoured war.]

What's your opinion on that dragon?

S'better to not be in the life.

A few hunters got pulled in like myself. We're workin' on it.

[He waves his arm to indicate the whole Asgard issue.

He frowns - having only arrived in Asgard a day or two ago, he had missed it.]

What dragon? Thought only fairies are creating issues.

Didn't see it myself, but it arrived with the message about the war everyone's talking about. That was -- perhaps a week before my arrival? Enough time that most of the damage had been repaired.

What, this ice fairy shit is a declaration of war too?

[Friggin' pagan gods.]

Everyone alright after dealin' with the dragon?

It seems likely.

I've only had one request for my professional services and that was another new arrival, so I'd say as far as I know, they are.

[Go figure. Ice fairies ended up being more dangerous.]

Good. Y'think this dragon was more of a herald than an attacker?

I'd say so. If it's intent had been to destroy the city ... well, it was curiously restrained.

Do you know if there was more to the message besides tellin' us we're at war?

Sadly, no. My informants were remarkably casual about it -- it may be possible to use these devices [Watson taps his bracelet] to recover the message. I'm -- well, I confess to not being entirely au fait with the functions of the device yet.

Alright, thanks.

I'll fiddle with this thing [He tugs at the bracelet briefly.] later. I'll let you know if I find anythin'.

Much obliged.
