Characters: Sherlock Holmes and YOU
Format: prose preferred, please ♥
This log is: open!
Location: Out and about on the grounds
Summary: Sherry Holmes counts trees.
Warnings: none at the time of posting

He starts by the main entrance, at the southernmost point of the elongated hexagon that makes up the grounds, and moves clockwise. Every time he sees a tree, he not only notes it down in his pocket notebook but walks up to it and puts his hand against the trunk, as though to confirm it is real.

Last night he slept reasonably well on the roof of White dorm. He knows he can't count on that, but for now he is grateful not to have started back down the inevitable spiral of sleep deprivation and paranoia just yet. He looks serene and well-rested, which only invites the question of what the hell he is doing to all those trees.

"Only on the most rudimentary level, I'm afraid. I would be glad of your assistance if the project interests you."

"Maps are a hobby of mine. I could absolutely create one. I'm sure there's a campus map in here..." he flipped to one of the first pages of the manual, and there it was. It was rather broad, but it gave him a good jumping-off point. He needed to make it bigger, though. "Yes, here we are. I can start with this."

Sherlock smiles.

"Excellent. Thank you very much."
