Title: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Blazing Angel on January 20, 2012, 04:53:01 PM
The small band stalked through the streetslooking for the thin man with the watery eyes and missing thumb. "Now, according to the pattern this thief follows, he is willing to steal ordinary jewels, but he has a taste for the rare and famous. This was confirmed to me when he stole the kidney of the sea and a number of nameless rubies in the same night.  If his pattern continues, we should catch him breaking into Lady Crocker's home to make off with her unique pearls." He explained to the apprentices.

I heard Holmes explanation,he was one of a kind, tjere was no doubt in that, but I didnt care, I just wanted to get over with this as soon as posible and get a good nights sleep.    -Lets just kick this guys arse and get this over with Ok?- I said while yawning.

"It seems you don't know the value of patience." They were just outside the inner gate of Crocker manor. Her home was a twelve acre stretch of land, with the homy occupying four of them. The rest was a massive three layer garden, seperate by two fences. The area they are in is a secluded corner of the land, surrounded by weeping willows offering perfect cover and a view to the second story entrance to the safe room. Far above them, among the numerous stars, two pinpricks of light form, just barely visible. "Holmes, of course, noticed  them, He raised his head slightly, to keep an eye on the lights.

Florence had made sure to wear culottes instead of a skirt, dressed in boy's clothing which she usually only wore as a disguise- it would make climbing or running easier. She didn't comment as the other apprentices made their views known and asked questions. Holmes upbraided them about patience, so she stood and waited. Noticing Holmes looking upwards, she did the same and noticed the distant lights. Wondering what they were, she opened her mouth to ask but stopped, wondering whether it would be distracting. Then she thought 'to the devil with caution' and whispered,

"Sir, what are those lights?" She didn't point or make any motion that would draw attention, trying to keep well-hidden.

Post by: Blazing Angel on January 22, 2012, 10:48:56 AM
"I don't know." Holmes said. "And that deeply worries me. Whatever they are, they appear to be heading right toward us." He isn't even bothering to watch the window anymore, the lights have his full attention. What he says is true. The odd shining is directly above them and getting bigger every second.

Post by: The Spectre on January 22, 2012, 11:18:49 AM
I tensed up in readiness for a fight, hidding with the others, just waiting and watching the aproaching lights, gave me the feeling of being powerless, but so far, I had never faced an oponent who I could not defeat, I tried to force the doubt out of my head.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Blazing Angel on January 22, 2012, 01:44:45 PM
By now, Holmes wasn't even watching the window anymore. The lights had his full attention. "Fascinating...." Watson was more focused on the task at hand. As he watched a figure sprinted silently toward the wall, and started to climb by some unseen method. Holmes-" "Quiet Watson, we have more pressing matters at hand." By now the thief was through the window and some kind of craft was visible behind the lights.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Doomhawk on January 23, 2012, 04:56:53 AM
Florence didn't know what to do- the obvious action was to confront the thief or at least follow him, but Holmes was clearly distracted by the lights. Then a craft appeared and Florence felt her breath catch in her throat.

"Sir...is it some kind of...dirigi...dirig ible?" She'd heard about the seemingly magic airships that were like giant balloons, but still struggled to believe that they existed. Then she recalled the thief's escape. "Perhaps we should split up?" She looked to Holmes for an example to follow.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Blazing Angel on January 23, 2012, 10:34:50 AM
"Not a dirigible. It almost seems to be powered by...fireworks." What he says is true. At the bottom of the craft are some kind of eternally burning fireworks. "I wold wager some kind of pump system feeds fuel to the fire." Watson said. Holmes looks at Florence, and realized the girl was waiting to follow his example."No we shouldn't. This is a  once in a life time opportunity any jewel thief can wat. Besides, he's going to steal Runmark Diamond next Monday."
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Doomhawk on January 24, 2012, 08:51:18 AM
Florence struggled to keep her expression calm; she was shocked that Holmes already knew the thief's next target. She had no idea how he was so observant all of the time. Then she looked back up at the ship, noticing the fireworks. As an ex-street child, she'd seen them before. One particular occasion that came to mind was when two gangs started to fight with them, somehow managing to fire them at each other. She'd even used them as a distraction twice- once to rob someone, the other to run away from someone. The thought of fireworks that burned forever was interesting, but she had no idea how it would work.

Citrus twirled in her dress. "So what do we do?" She asked. She practically tuned out half the conversation, which she wasn't happy about. But then again, being a detective isn't her strong point, and she hates planning. Why did I join this again? And why didn't I just become a singer? She thought.

"The simple answer is to simply wait. The complicated answer involves detailed explenations based on whatever that extraterestial craft has in mind."

-Extraterrestrial?- I said shocked -What makes you so sure it's not just some kind  of secret experiment?- I had, of course, never seen anything remotely that advanced but maybe the crown was up to something that would help the empire further.

"The style mainly. The shape is so bizzare that I could only say that it belongs to no nation on earth. It's seems to be designed for something  besides traversing the sky. It's not airodynamic at all."
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: yunyun on January 25, 2012, 03:41:05 PM
"But that doesn't necessarily mean it's not from earth. No disrespect ((to whoever Blazzy was playing in the last post)), but I find it pretty easy to think up designs that are unlike earth. There's still that chance of the person who designed it being creative." Citrus said. She was hoping that it was extraterrestrial. It would be pretty cool to meet an alien, as long as they didn't try to harm anyone. "Of course though...it could be extraterrestrial..." She said.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Blazing Angel on January 25, 2012, 06:50:03 PM
Holmes smirked. "The point of an efficient flying device wouldn't be looks. It would be the ability to fly. If we're to the point that the making of aircraft can factor in appearance, then this technology has been hidden for a very long time." At this point the craft has almost landed. Up close, it can be seen that one of the "foreverworks" is heavilly damaged. Their seems to be a number of shrapnel penetrations on a single side, while the other seemes to have a chunk cleanly sliced off. If one word were to be used to describe it, cute would be very popular.


It almost looked like a toy, a fictional work, for children to read aqbout and play with. Accept for thee tail. For lack of better word to describe it, that's what it appeared to be. Watson felt it looked like the muscular barbed stinger of the scorpions he enountered in Africa while he was in service. Homes himself was completely silent, almost petrified. But his eyes gave away how alert he was. Eyes darting back and forth. Taking in every detail. "Astounding."

-It looks pretty mangled, you think maybe it was a battle craft?-
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Doomhawk on January 27, 2012, 04:41:24 AM
Florence merely listened to the discussion, eyes glued to the ship. She tended to just listen when she didn't know enough about a situation. Holmes seemed to really be absorbed. As she continued to watch the ship, a realisation came to her.

"Well, whatever it may be, extraterrestrial or secret technology, it's coming closer!" She almost whispered, feeling extremely nervous suddenly.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: The Spectre on January 27, 2012, 08:08:44 AM
-No kidding?- I answered sarcastically, that thing was almost on the ground and so close you could see every detail.

Post by: Blazing Angel on January 27, 2012, 10:17:13 AM
Suddenly, Holmes is out of the bushes approaching the the ship with his hands up. "Do you speak English?" Their was a short pause, and then in the pit of their minds they each heard a voice say, <In my own way.>
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: The Spectre on January 27, 2012, 11:30:51 AM
-Bloody hell! What was that!-In a way I had heard the voice  but, there hadnt been any sound. Now there was no doubt, this thing wasnt from earth.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: yunyun on January 27, 2012, 03:32:38 PM
"Telepathy?" Citrus suggested. Then, to the...alien...she said, "Can you please come out? We won't hurt you"
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Blazing Angel on January 27, 2012, 07:12:37 PM
<I know.> The voice said. Out of nowhere some kind of hatch opened on the front of the vehicle. Out stepped an alien. Nothing like the world had ever seen. He was a like a dark blue centaur. The silhouette was all that could be seen.

The horse and manlike areas of it were most noticeable, but once you had time to search it had several other defining features. Their was a large tail, almost exactly like the one on the ship. He had two stalks, rather like a slug. They appeared to have eyes on them, as they rotated slightly, taking in the surroundings. For just a second the creature stood there, glorious and unreal. Then his legs gave out. Their was a thud as he hit the ramp.

Holmes rushed to his side.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.

-Whats wrong?Is he hurt?-
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Blazing Angel on January 27, 2012, 11:14:33 PM
Watson went after Holmes, presumably to make his diagnosis. After a second pf examination he choked out. "Their appears to be a severe burn on his calf, and a shrapnel wound where i believe the lungs might be."
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Doomhawk on January 28, 2012, 07:40:11 AM
Florence just watched as the situation unfolded. The voice in her head scared her, but she wasn't going to be seen as a coward, not in front of the others. She rushed forwards to stand level with the others. The thing...the being...the extraterrestrial was magnificent. It reminded her of the most dignified thoroughbred horses that pulled the rich people's carriages around the city. But she could see that it was not just a horse, but like a person too. She suddenly remembered breaking into a library because they chased away street rats like her. One night she went in and devoured various fairy tales and folklore books. Not only did she use the knowledge gained to scare the less bright street children, but she also read about mythical beings called centaurs. Was this a real centaur?

She felt worried when Watson examined the alien. It sounded like the wounds were serious.

"Can we help him?" She found herself saying, assuming that the centaur was male.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Blazing Angel on January 28, 2012, 10:35:25 AM
"Yes. It would be something shy of a miracle but he can be saved." Watson said. <If you plan to help me, first I need you to retrieve something from my ship. Their is a small blue cube. I need you to get it before we can go.> Subtly overhead a few similar lights appear.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: yunyun on January 28, 2012, 03:08:44 PM
Citrus looked around. The alien asked to get something out of his ship. Citrus wanted to go, but was too scared to. "Okay..." She said, "Who's going then?"
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: The Spectre on January 29, 2012, 07:43:13 PM
I looked to Holmes and my small family, but no one moved -Oh for crying out loud! I'll go!- I moved towards the craft and walked inside, the cube was easily spotable as it was the only squared shape on the room, everything else was rounded and creamy in color.I grabbed the cube and returned to the others -Is this it?-
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Blazing Angel on January 29, 2012, 07:55:33 PM
The creature nodded. <Yes. I believe I am about to lose conciousness. If you can save me, I will help you further. If you cannot... > Suddenly in each of their minds images that they had never seen appeared. Large, lizardlike creatures with blades that stood two heads taller than any man. Fat man eating worms with never ending hunger. Small grey slugs that eminated hate. He appeared to be sharing his memories through these pictures. Each one had a complex layer of emotion and information linked to it that explained what was happening.

The yeerks were on Earth. The andalites were attempting to stop them. Their had been a massive loss of life in a battle. He was possibly the only survivor. All this was recorded in an instant. Their was a sudden, mental gasp from the andalite named Larz Garrec Took. <They are here...> He slumped into unconciousness.

Watson and Holmes looked up at his warning. Fast approaching were the bug fighters they had learned about. "****." Holmes swore. "Watson, help me lift him , we can cut through the woods behind the manor."

Post by: Doomhawk on January 30, 2012, 05:55:40 AM
Florrie stumbled as the massive load of information overwhelmed her. She would have offered to help carry the centaur- no, it was called...an Andalite. And it had a strange but curious name. She looked up at the Bug fighters and felt foreboding. There was no way they could fight them. She wondered whether there were any weapons inside the ship, but it felt wrong to intrude...also, if the ship was damaged the weapons might not work anyway. She readied herself to hurry with Holmes and Watson.  But she couldn't help thinking about the cube, the cube that could turn them into animals somehow... this was definitely the strangest night of her life.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: The Spectre on January 30, 2012, 08:13:52 AM
As I helped carry the dying Andalite to a hiding place I couldnt help but notice his wounds, and older scars, in how many battles had he been before this day?

((NewBA, local joke: We know for sure he survived to be letally wounded again, to become a member of the GL corps))
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Blazing Angel on January 30, 2012, 10:20:40 AM
((Actually that's just what I name all my andalites. I came up with one good name so I use it.))

Watson and Holmes took off with the andalite on their shoulders. It was at least a mile and half ebfore the cover of the woods.

Post by: The Spectre on February 23, 2012, 08:07:53 AM
The yeerks were following us, but I dared not look back. Was it their ships firing? Or the ground troops? We were now deep in the woods. I hoped they wouldn't follow us there.   -Did we lost them?-
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Blazing Angel on February 23, 2012, 09:59:50 AM
They broke from the woods very suddenly. they were now roughly two blocks from Baker Street. Their pursuers seemed to halt when they saw they would be going into the open.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Doomhawk on February 26, 2012, 03:24:44 PM
Florrie kept running, keeping her head down in case anything else burst into flames. She didn't look back as she ran and when they reached familiar ground, not far from Baker Street, she sped up, eager to reach shelter.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Blazing Angel on February 26, 2012, 10:58:49 PM
The group reached the building in under a minute. Their enemy's weapons had put the fear of God into them. It was well past midnight, but if the group had woken anyone, they were going far too fast to be clearly seen. The door inside was locked, but Holmes kicked it down before pulling Lars inside with the help of Watson. At that moment the landlady walked in. At the sight of the alien a look of complete shock hits her face, followed quickly by a deep hatred. "Andalite filth!" She shrieked.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Doomhawk on February 27, 2012, 06:41:25 AM
Florrie's eyes widened in shock as the landlady reacted to the Andalite. This was completely unexpected. She turned to look at Thomas urgently. "She's a Yeerk!" Florrie hissed. She didn't know why she turned to Thomas instead of Holmes...probably because she knew that Thomas could pack a nasty punch if necessary and she didn't trust the landlady not to try and harm the Andalite or even Holmes.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: The Spectre on February 28, 2012, 08:49:44 AM
I was too shocked to do anything,but Florris scream (or was it a yell?) made me react with a good combination I had learned from Holmes. Throat punch with left hand, hit both ears simultanously to disrupt inner ear and balance, kick to the stomach. The lady went down, I just hoped I hadnt over did it, after all she wasnt evil, the yeerk inside her head was.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Blazing Angel on February 28, 2012, 10:38:12 AM
,They didn't even bother to stop, Watson did take the time to shout over his shoulder, "That may have been a little over the top." The duo brought the andalite up the stairs into Watson's office, with one sweep of his hand the desk was cleared and the alien was placed, ever so gently. Holmes cleared his throat, put one hand on Watson's shoulder, and looked straight into his eye. "Watson, normally you follow my orders to perfection. And I am grateful for that. On this occasion, it is your turn to lead. I know if anyone can do this, it's you."


Watson seemed almost stunned. by this, but he quickly does away with that and puts on a brave face. "Everyone, get me some rags, a needle, my scalpel, and a bottle of iodine. That;s the best I can do for household surgical materials" Unexpectedly, the andalite turned his head and seemed to smile, in an odd way, with his eyes. <Thank you...>  That simple sentence seemed to exhaust him to the point of unconsciousness. He slumped against the desk.

Post by: Doomhawk on February 28, 2012, 11:09:09 AM
Florrie couldn't express how relieved she was that Thomas reacted to her and saved the day. She watched his swift takedown of the landlady with obvious awe. She looked down at the unconscious woman once and then followed Holmes and Watson into the office. On his instructions, she nodded and got up to retrieve the items, looking all over the office for a needle. She eventually found one in a drawer and as she brought it to Watson, she asked,

"...Sorry, sir, I know this isn't the time, but what should we do with the landlady? She knows...she's a Yeerk. When she wakes up she could try and harm the Andalite or even tell any other Yeerks where he is..." She felt nervous about bothering him during this crucial moment.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Blazing Angel on February 28, 2012, 07:04:42 PM
He took the needle and dipped it in the iodine Holme's had brought. "Their a length of rope in the kitchen cuboard. Take some ice, wrap it in a damp cloth, place it on her forhead, and bind her hands and feet. I'll require some thread as well."
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Doomhawk on March 04, 2012, 08:44:17 AM
Florrie nodded, calling to Citrus and Thomas, "Could you tie the landlady up? There's rope in the kitchen cupboard! Oh, and you need to wrap some ice in a cloth and put it on her forehead!" She then scurried around the office to finally find some thread and she brought it to Watson.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: yunyun on March 04, 2012, 02:43:55 PM
Citrus nodded,"I'll go get the rope." She then went to the kitchen and got the rope. "Here," She said, passing it to Florrie.

Post by: Blazing Angel on March 11, 2012, 09:44:45 PM
While this happened Watson steralized the rags and water Holmes had brought. While snapping on a pair of gloves he tells Holmes, "I get the feeling your more nervous then I am. Go downstairs and grab a bowl and two large bottles of whiskey." Holmes was so out of his comfort zone that he had to ask. "Why?"

"My main concern is blood loss. If he loses too much, we have no possible donors on hand. Their may be a possibility of reusing his own blood and the bowls to hold it." Holmes considered this and said, "The whiskey?" Watson smiled and replied "I have a feeling by the end of this, no matter what the outcome, we'll both need a long hard drink."
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Doomhawk on March 12, 2012, 06:31:41 AM
Florrie took it and headed back into where the landlady was laying, still unconscious. Trying to remember the few knots she had learned how to tie, she bound the woman's hands and feet, quickly grabbing a rag and wetted it before wrapping some ice in it and delicately placing it on the woman's forehead. Then she decided to hang around by the stairs in case she was needed again.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Blazing Angel on March 14, 2012, 11:28:26 PM
With his materials, Watson began his work. For the most part, it was a lot like his days as a doctor in Africa. Cleaning and removing metal from wounds. One organ was punctured, but it appeared to be nonvital enough that the andalite could survive without it. Soon the wounds were filled, and the andalite was stable, passed out on the desk with steady breathing and a somewhat slow heart rate. "I think he's going to be alright." Watson called to the young detectives.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Doomhawk on March 30, 2012, 05:24:03 AM
Florrie sighed with relief. Despite being a street child, she'd managed to avoid witnessing much death and she didn't think she'd react well if the Andalite died. With the images of the evening fresh in her mind, she went back to the room in which Holmes, Watson and the unconscious Andalite were.

"What are we going to do about him and the Yeerks?" She asked quietly.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Blazing Angel on March 30, 2012, 05:57:11 PM
Holmes seems completely exhausted, physically, as well as mentall when he answers this question. "Well" *hic* he took a short drink from the bottle in his hand. "We wait for him to recover, and based on his knowledge we act."

Post by: yunyun on March 30, 2012, 06:33:18 PM
"Gee, I wonder how long that's going to take" Citrus muttered to herself. Then to the others, she said, "So what do we do now? Just randomly sit here and hope that he won't die? Like that's an alien we re talking about. Who knows what can kill him"
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Blazing Angel on March 30, 2012, 10:56:55 PM
"If something in the air was going to kill him, he'd likely be dead by now." Watson said.

"Anyway patience is a virtue. If he recovers we have a seasoned veteran helping us. And once the land lady gets over the concussion you likely gave her," He gave Sam something along the lines of the evil eye "we'll have an inside source."

Florrie put a hand over her mouth and tried to hide her amusement at Watson's evil eye, pretending to cough instead of laugh. But then something occurred to her.

"How are we going to convince the landlady to work with us if she hates Andalites?" As far as it went, the landlady was like a spy here and could give everyone away. This problem needed to be fixed and Florrie had no idea how to approach it.
Title: Re: Sherlock Homes/Animorphs cross over RP.
Post by: Blazing Angel on March 31, 2012, 01:36:42 PM
"Yes, but the way you did it was similar to if you had stopped a purse snatcher by firing a cannon in his direction." Watson said.

Holmes responded to Florrie. "She doesn't hate andalites, they parasite inside her does. Once it out, the only one she should hate is Sam."

"You're lucky if I remember my own name after half a bottle of this." He says holding the bottle high.

The next two weeks are agonizing to everyone, but both the landlady and the andalite recover. The woman reveals the location of two pool entrances, one inside of the restaurant The Royale, and another inside of the theatre. Holmes called a meeting in the sitting room to discuss the situation.

"Hold on, we need to play this smart. They have the numbers to kill us where we stand. The only advantage we have is suprise."

Florrie was relieved when the parasite inside the landlady died and she returned to her normal self. They called a meeting about what to do about the Yeerks and she listened as everyone discussed the options. Florrie wasn't particularly confident about any of them.

"Even with surprise, if they see us won't they be able to find us? And will they find out about our landlady? If she's a part of their army, won't it be suspicious if she stops turning up to their meetings?" She'd had time to think about everything and she's started to think that maybe they were in trouble.

"They can't keep tabs on every host. My yeerk was very low ranked. The odds of it being needed are a thousand to one." The landlady said. "Those are still odds though. We may have to go into hiding."

Holmes frowned. "I hate to say it but she's probably right. And I really hate to say that I'll need help from my brother for this."

Citrus listened to the conversation without much to add. After all, she was no expert on The yeerks and isn't the best at dectective work. She just sat there, wondering about the aliens and their planets. Citrus thought that they should get more information on the yeerks, so she then asked the lady, "how do the yeerks operate anyway?"

(sorry if the infos already been mentioned. I often dont notice some parts in RPs)

"They stealthily infiltrate society, getting more hosts until they have at least 75% of the population. "

"uh, I mean like what's their society like? How do they decide who to infest? How do they captur people to infest? Who runs everything? Stuff like that"

"It's very...totalist. You can be killed for failiure their is a constant struggle for power. A council of thirteen is the most powerful but, their are also vissers and sub vissers below them. They infest the needy. The depressed. People looking to be part of something bigger."

Florrie was relieved to hear that the absence of their landlady would go unnoticed, but her eyes darkened at the mentions of the Yeerks and how they operated. Their taking advantage of those who had problems sounded very sinister indeed and she found herself saying,

"We'll fight them somehow." She was taken by surprise at her sudden outburst.

"They're probably looking for us as we speak." The landlady said. "I think Mr Homes is right, you should go into hiding."

Homes sighed. "I'll send a letter to Mycroft."

"Who's Mycroft?" Citrus asked, "And what about whoever that knows us? And who for sure isn't a controller?"

"His brother." Watson picked up. "They don't speak unless it's a dire emergency. He's just as brilliant but instead uses his intelligence to hold an office in the goverment that he himself invented."

And then Holmes came back in. "I told him to come as soon as possible. Alone. We'll show him Lars, and if he tries to shoot him, I, will be the one to floor him."

Florrie's eyes widened as she heard that Holmes had a brother. She had no idea and now she struggled and failed to try and imagine another, equally clever Sherlock. But she realised that having another genius on their side would help the cause a lot.
