Title: thoroughness
Requester: prodigal
Series: Holmes/In Nomine
Requested Topic: Sherlock meets the Archangel of Revelation, and tells him how he deduced that he is something other than human, please.
Due to http://incandescens.livejournal.com/925482.html


“When one has eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth,” Holmes said. “And since I am familiar with a number of chemicals, none of which would produce any such result as your manifestation, I have reason to believe that you are indeed a creature other than human.”

He paused.

“Precisely what is, of course, open to further discussion. But I trust you will forgive the necessity of checking for fangs, ropes, trapdoors, stage lights, hallucinogenic chemicals, draconic horns, hooves, paws, tails, rubber balloons, phosphorus, greasepaint, padding, shoe lifts, and false noses. One cannot be too careful.”

*giggle* I'm sure Litheroy would understand perfectly, and cooperate fully!

One of the few Archangels who would. :)

Dominic: "No. You may not look under the cloak."

"Very well, then. I am not to blame if my conclusions are at fault due to your failure to provide sufficient evidence."

I think Litheroy will approve. Sherlock Holmes, Soldier of Revelation? :P

Ah, but Holmes has been known to keep his mouth shut or even lie on occasion. Now, Judgment, perhaps...
