[On the video tonight, Sherlock is running blood tests. this thrums along in the background.]

I resent the implication, you know.

It could be worse.

[His tone is flat, dry, and accompanied by loud, tinny circus music.]

[Audio]

[lostwoutmyblogr.livejournal.com]

That is unsettling.

[Audio]

[soulcontracts.livejournal.com]

I won't disagree.

[There's a pause, before the video flickers on. Johannes rather looks like he's nursing a horrible headache.]

What are you working on?

[Audio]

[lostwoutmyblogr.livejournal.com]

Comparisons between vampiric and human blood.

[Audio]

[soulcontracts.livejournal.com]

[How interesting. Johannes actually straightens up at that, though only marginally.]

Where did you get your samples?

[Audio]

[lostwoutmyblogr.livejournal.com]

Volunteers, I assure you.

[Audio]

[soulcontracts.livejournal.com]

Oh, I wasn't concerned. It was more a matter of nosiness.

[A pause.]

What are you hoping to learn? [Because you do not open up a video feed unless you are willing to field questions.]

It's an attempt to identify significant biological differences between vampires and humans. Since one can transition into the other, there must obviously be some similarites. But if we can understand what parts of the body the change affects, perhaps we can understand the true physiological nature of what happens.

Aha! So I'm not just hearing things. ...Again.

[He smirks. In the background, this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrlhLaNClgw) is playing.]

[lostwoutmyblogr.livejournal.com]

It seems most of the city is afflicted.

[video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Due to these "Animus", is it? This could be something to study. Passes the time, at the least.

[video]

[lostwoutmyblogr.livejournal.com]

It does, if only barely.

_{[There's a quiet snort of amusement from Snape while this plays in the background.]}

I seem to have gotten off relatively easy this time.

[Video]

[lostwoutmyblogr.livejournal.com]

That must happen occasionally.

[Video]

[snarkypotions]

Or I've just signed myself up for a torturous week.

[Video]

[lostwoutmyblogr.livejournal.com]

Learn to tune it out.

[Video]

[snarkypotions]

The song or the Animus?

[Video]

[lostwoutmyblogr.livejournal.com]

Oh, the song. The animus are rather more invasive- and childish, in a way. I expect ignoring them would be provocation.

[Video]

[snarkypotions]

Indeed, though my music is rather... acceptable.

[seehowitends.livejournal.com]

[While not something Spike would willingly listen to over and over again, he's not as annoyed by the new song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdphvuyaV_I) as when it started.]

Learn anything?

[lostwoutmyblogr.livejournal.com]

You're different, but we did know that.

I think I need skin samples.

[seehowitends.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'd hope we knew that.

Sure. D'you want them now or after the event?

[lostwoutmyblogr.livejournal.com]

Now. The music barely disturbs me.

[seehowitends.livejournal.com]

Right. Give me an hour and I'll be there.

[He cuts the feed off and a little over an hour later, he's at the door.]

[lostwoutmyblogr.livejournal.com]

In!

[Sherlock yells, over the music rattling around the house.]

[offline]

[seehowitends.livejournal.com]

[He goes inside and goes to where Sherlock's lab is. He's a little glad that his own music ]

Find anything interesting yet?

[video]

[taijiya]

[Wild guess here, but.]

That you're out of control?

[Her own song is also a rather irritating but implicit one.]

[video]

[lostwoutmyblogr.livejournal.com]

Astute.

[video]

[taijiya]

Well... do the implications hold any truth?

[video]

[lostwoutmyblogr.livejournal.com]

Not in the slightest.

[video]

[taijiya]

Many of the songs this week don't.

[Hers, for example. Well. Most of it.]
