Well, if I had to suggest anyone to solve the mystery of the sudden rash of strange symptoms sweeping over our lovely little town, I would pick me, but a better option for you lot would be to start paying more attention and stop opening every suspicious box you find lying about.

Sorry, am I hearing you right? You know what's causing this?

[Bruce has his glasses on and looks distracted. He's also wearing plastic gloves, and he's found a mask to put over his face.]

Oh, and they should bring the boxes to the clinic, but don't touch them.

Thanks.

[The feed cuts out, then on again.]

Unless you've noticed if there's any secondary contamination? So far I'm okay, but I figure people shouldn't take a risk. [That's a question. He's distracted and looking for a consult here.]

[personal profile] manofiron 2012-12-31 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
A few days ago, yes. Why?
greenisnteasy: (:\ oh wow i am so impressed)

[Bruce is still distracted, writing with his other hand, all the way up until the mention of the other guy. Then Sherlock gets his full attention.]

They haven't sent me anything. What are your suspicions?
manofiron: (oh huh)

[personal profile] manofiron 2012-12-31 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's silent for a moment, waiting for more, before he taps a finger against the communicator. ]

Hello? New guy? You still there?

[ Tony is, regrettably, still blind and can't appreciate the nonverbal communication. ]
manofiron: (not sure if want)

[personal profile] manofiron 2012-12-31 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He frowns. ]

The package I opened had gloves in it, not blindness.

[ A beat. ]

Unless it's airborne. Is that what you think it is? Some kind of virus?

They did bring some of that onto themselves.

[Assuming they knew about the other guy before they brought any of them here, anyway. As soon as they did find out -- and no doubt they did -- they should've known what was coming.]

Sorry, what was the conclusion that's fairly obvious? And I'm working on these packages, making as much out of a kitchen chemistry set as I possibly can to see if I can figure out what's the cause of the blindness and the muteness. You're welcome to come on over if you like.
manofiron: (oh please)

[personal profile] manofiron 2012-12-31 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Did you miss the whole Secret Santa thing? People give other people anonymous gifts all the time. I certainly wasn't thinking the box I opened came from our captors. But then again, when I opened it, I wasn't checking for the blindness virus either.

Did you get a package?
greenisnteasy: (:| w: thinking hands)

[personal profile] greenisnteasy 2012-12-31 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, well, yeah. I can think of some people who could've pulled this off, but I don't think it's them. [What would be the point of making people blind? He doesn't think Loki would do anything like that without a point.]

I don't need a resume, but you sound right for the job. Not that I've made much progress.
reluctantsword: (dignified)

[personal profile] reluctantsword 2012-12-31 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, maybe I'd ask you, if I had any idea who you are.

[He shrugs.]
manofiron: (you're so dumb)

[personal profile] manofiron 2012-12-31 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
My house has four people in it. If something shows up on the kitchen table, my first thought is that one of them brought it in. Not that the magical mystery invisible people decided to play Santa.

So okay, Great Mouse Detective. You solved one riddle. How about working on how to cure the epidemic that the packages are unleashing?
reluctantsword: (smirk)

[personal profile] reluctantsword 2012-12-31 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wallie rolls his eyes, and doesn't bother hiding it. He has enough letters after his name and deeds to his name that he's not exactly hurting at the implication he's just a big dumb guy with a sword.]

I never said I thought you were wrong, either. But, please, medicine isn't my field, maybe it's yours. How does an unassuming box go about blinding someone? Or rendering them mute?
manofiron: (I was expecting something flashier)

[personal profile] manofiron 2012-12-31 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not a doctor, but you know who is? Bruce Banner. And he can work miracles in the middle of a jungle without a fancy facility in sight. So if you're half as good as you're implying that you are, you should talk to him.
greenisnteasy: (:| w: increase the flash gordon noise)

[personal profile] greenisnteasy 2013-01-01 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
You could be lying to me completely about who you are and what you do, and the only way I'd really get to figure that out is to see you at work. Besides, you've proven yourself to me well enough.

[Sherlock doesn't have the greatest bedside manner, but Bruce got a PhD in physics, and the department wasn't a sea of social competence.]
