[The search for Spotson]

[inhiselement]

Who: Seekers.
When: Day 55, late afternoon
Where: Out in the wilderness
What: Finally found.

[Whether it is because of all the recent activity from HQ, but the spiders are out and about. Those who have chosen to wander out further along the usual paths may notice some odd looking areas. As you brave the strange tell-tale signs of spiders, a silk pod appears half hidden under odd looking foliage. A pale white arm appears to be protruding limply from inside...]

I do feel a bit like Holmes' horseless carriage ran me over.

[confirmed_bachelor]

If it's only a bit, then you are very lucky.

[looking him over for fall injuries]

[inhiselement]

[there's at least a few cracked ribs and his left leg is fractured]

You were able to find me. That's lucky.

[confirmed_bachelor]

... yes. I have a theory that the spiders move their victims as we explore more, given the difficulty Holmes had finding either you or Sherlock.

[frowning at those]

[inhiselement]

Really. Migrating with their food. [winces] Intelligent.

[confirmed_bachelor]

Very possibly. Sherlock was very, very far out when I found him.

[inhiselement]

This place is really a bit of a bitch, isn't she?

[confirmed_bachelor]

...

[confirmed_bachelor]

[cracks up]

[inhiselement]

[can't help but break the serious face and start grinning like an idiot as well]

[confirmed_bachelor]

[shakes his head a bit]

I whole-heartedly agree with your assessment.

[inhiselement]

[leans his head back so he's resting against the wall]

I believe I will have to reevaluate my personal assessment of my abilities.

[confirmed_bachelor]

Ah. The wilderness hardly seems to care about that. The list of the missing includes many who are exceptionally capable.

[inhiselement]

Have there been many then?

[confirmed_bachelor]

An unfortunately large amount.

[inhiselement]

Then I thank you, doctor.

For finding me. [offers out his hand out shakily]

[confirmed_bachelor]

[takes it]

You're welcome. But it wasn't me.

[inhiselement]

[weak attempt at a firm handshake that lingers on that line]

Holmes.

[confirmed_bachelor]

"Never will there be a life served better."

[inhiselement]

And defeated by flora and fauna.

[confirmed_bachelor]

Temporarily. You're here now, again.

[inhiselement]

[pulling back and resting again]

How has he been?

[confirmed_bachelor]

About the same, with the addition of going out to search for a good percentage of his day.

[inhiselement]

At least I added mental stimulation. He probably won't even thank me.

[confirmed_bachelor]

[gosh you two]

Not the pleasant sort.
