[He pours himself a glass of fresh blood, and using ingridients he's managed to scrounge up, he adds a lemon slice, a straw, and one of those little umbrellas.] Right, right. I came for a story.
Oh, I might. it's always worth it to see how deep his frown can go.
[sholmes like yes i WILL bully van zieks, FAVORITE PASTTIME]
Ah, yes. Well, of course, even in private I must paint the situation with broad strokes, but....well, the culprit I was referring to was none other than the Lord Chief Justice of London itself.
[sometimes you just take out a whole giant government official and topple the justice system why not]
But of course. It may have been a closed court, away from the eyes of the public, but having a Lord Chief Justice disappear overnight will surely shake things up.
[He doesn't particularly care for what happens next. Justice was served. That's all there is to it.]
He had his fingers in many a pie. In fact, he had used an assassin to take out the previous Chief Lord Justice to take the position himself, hiding it under the case of a serial murderer. How cruelly ingenious. The man did his best to make sure he'd never be under the spotlight.
There's a certain cleverness to that. As a fellow monster, I gotta give credit where it's due. [He just sort of hums consideringly. The chaos and discord that comes immediately after someone so major is taken off the board is what most interests him about this scenario.]
Still, can't respect any nit who refuses to get his hands dirty. You said he thought he was actually playing the hero, yeah? Pfft.
[CHAOS, ANARCHY, BLOOD, DISCORD, REBELLION. FEEL THE THRILL OF THE KILL IN YOUR VEINS HERLOCK SHOLMES.]
Heh. Self-righteous wanker.
[He also leans back, taking a sip from his lemon blood.] Sounds like fun, gotta say. Normally, we don't really do the whole... arrest thing. We normally just have to figure out how to kill whatever nasties need killing.
Well, I wouldn't expect a whole vampire to play by the rules, so that is hardly surprising.
[He huffs, amused.]
I kick people down a notch who deserve it. Or at least, who have committed a crime, and must get their just desserts. That's the role of a great detective! That, and uncovering mysteries. It's my bread and butter.
You know, Angel's a vampire detective nowadays. Or he was till he became a monk in Tibet or whatever the fuck he's doing over there. Normally what he deals with is just evil lawyers, apparently.
[Sort of just sighs and leans back, taking a sip of his blood.]
Well, you're not grim and boring, so you're definitely a step up in that regard.
I thought it was ridiculous too, don't you worry. I asked him if he was planning on dabbling in becoming a vampire bellarina and he wouldn't even consider it, the nit.
[He swirls his straw through the cup of blood and raises an amused eyebrow at Sholmes.]
But I thought you and Zieks knew eachother beforehand?

The rest of him remembers the amount of government officials he and the squad have brutally murdered.]
That'll cause some chaos.

So now that he's been deposed...it will be interesting to see where things go from there.

Oh, we most certainly do, but alas. His appearance belies the face that he is simply someone who likes a certain aesthetic, nothing more.

Maybe if you needle him enough, he'll finally get it in his head to get some sunlight. There's a thought.
