[ This question doesn't change the fact he thinks you're a dick and he thinks you're overrated. (The original Sherlock Holmes is better!!!11) But either way, you've got brains and he's got a question. ]

Hey, do you think there's a way to propel yourself out of Somarium? To force yourself to wake up in the real world from the dreamlike state, so to speak.

[Well well well, what do we have here?]

Currently known methods to force yourself to wake up revolve around lucid dreams. The state of this one is brought into question when it is claimed that this is a shared dream. To force an awakening would likely require everyone dreaming to wake up simultaneously so outside of natural causes seems unlikely considering the number of people who have accepted things here.
SH

[ Shut up, jerk ]

Personal opinions aside, that makes sense.

Thanks.

[ And that is it. He just needed an answer. HE HAS A LOT OF THINGS TO SAY ABOUT IT but none to you, Sherlock Holmes, since you're not his friend. ]

I'll have John send you the bill.
SH

[Personal opinions aside, Sherlock is still a dick.]

Hahahaha.

[ So is Mike, really. ]

You're aware that I'm a consulting detective so you should know that my services aren't for free.
SH

[...unless he's desperate for a case.]

Oh, I know. I also know you're not as good as the original Sherlock Holmes and I also know if you think you're actually going to make your buck the same way you do at home here in Somarium, you're deluded.

[Oh it is on.]

Original implies that I'm a copy or replacement of a previous one which is decidedly not the case here. I'm surprised that you'd believe a man from the nineteenth century would be better versed on present matters then I am.

Regardless of your opinions on my abilities, you have willingly asked for my services. That requires payment.
SH

[ Are you really doing this, Sherlock? With a lawyer for crying out loud? Who remembers everything? For shame. ]

I still prefer him over you. He's less obnoxious and much more clever.

Also, I dropped a question in your inbox. You replied with an answer. You can't charge me for that since there was no previous agreement that stated I would pay you for your answer to my question. In fact, before this point -- you have not confirmed yourself, to me, as a "consulting detective". I would know that since I remember everything anyway. Sure, you could assume I've known as you above stated "you're aware" but you have never said, directly, to me, that you are.

All I know is you're a modern day copy of the character Sherlock Holmes. Other than that is all I can put together through my previous interactions with you -- twice. One, where I first met you on your John's network post in which he dreamed about your world's version of The Final Problem. Two, where you confronted me in the casino where my boss and I were playing poker. We told you some of the story and that was it. You still did not outright state you were a consulting detective, so really.

You can't charge me. Maybe if I come to you after this conversation, sure, but right now? You can't charge me. It's illegal. Would you like me to recite the law stating such? Because I can.

[It took him a bit to figure out, but he manages to get the filter on and so:]

You're a bloody arse, Sherlock.

[Technically this wouldn't matter if John had been the one to physically pick up the dreamberry. But John has temporarily moved out leaving Sherlock the only one able to pick up.

It doesn't take much to figure out what he's talking about.]

I have no idea what you're talking about Inspector.
SH

I'm not in the mood for that, Sherlock.

Why did you do it?
G.Lestrade

[He's going to beat this technicality to the ground.]

I didn't.
SH

You were dead, Sherlock, dead. Or at least, you made us all believe that.
G.Lestrade

I didn't make you believe anything nor did I kill myself.
SH

You told me that you weren't dead when I saw you again. Obviously you have some idea of what happened.
G.Lestrade

[He's not an idiot, you know, even if he isn't as smart as you are.]

John filled me in on what happened. Theories are not facts. I cannot tell you what I was thinking.
SH

[God, he's not going to let up, is he.]

You can't hide the truth forever, Sherlock.
G.Lestrade

[Never.]

I don't intend to.
SH

You know its only a matter of time before he figures it out.
G.Lestrade

There's nothing to find out.
SH

[He only has to keep it quiet until they manage to get out of here after all.]

[He isn't even going to bother to continue debating technicalities with you, Sherlock. He can see through your blah.]

Just tell him before its too late. It won't end well if he finds out by himself.
G.Lestrade

[He's never going to drop it.]

There is nothing to find out because I have no recollection of doing anything.
SH

[Well TOO BAD Lestrade isn't going to entertain you now, Sherlock.]

You know what you were going to do.

I'm not going to tell John - its all up to you to decide what you want to do.
G.Lestrade

[And he's not going to respond after this (unless you say something that makes him say something), so yes. He's said his piece, the rest is up to you.]

[Because Sherlock has to get the last word in.]

There's nothing to tell John!
SH

[Yeah Sherlock, just keep telling yourself that. Lestrade's just waiting for the approaching fallout now.]

[This takes place about ten minutes after his call with Naomi.]

At least warn me the next time I'm your alibi for theft.

PS: you're sharing the results of whatever it is you're doing. She didn't sound convinced.

[The reply comes after he's gotten away and about to start his experiments.]

I wasn't given an opportunity to contact you advance.
SH

You couldn't contact me BEFORE YOU STOLE FROM THE MORGUE?

You don't plan for getting caught.
SH

[Translation: I'm Sherlock Holmes and my massive intellect means I should never have been caught.]

Well maybe you should plan for it next time. I can help.

You're infinitely more useful to me if you remain employed by the hospital.
SH

[Not that he's not useful in other ways, this is just bad choice of words on his part.]

Then I'd better not cover for you if this happens again. Wouldn't want to become useless.[Sarcasm!]

You're incorrectly assuming things.
SH

And you're not helping. What was wrong with my suggestion?

I'm training your improvisation skills.
SH

[He's not sure if Sherlock just made that up or not, but it sounds like something he'd do anyway so it's plausible enough.]

You couldn't have started smaller?

Sometimes you have to run before you can walk.
SH

[TMW YOU QUOTE YOUR OTHER CHARACTER.]

Well, I've not been fired yet and you have your body. Job well done?

A most satisfying ending.
SH

[Regarding him having his cadaver. Like he cares about John's job.]

Yes. Ironically.
