This is worse than I thought. I hope it'll get better when he get some fresh air. Talks to him like a mom to a spoiled child. Okay, I'm sure we'll find whatever you want. Poor Sherlock, why is he doing this to himself? Okay we're here. Thank God it's raining, at least it's not crowded. gets out her umbrella and helps Sherlock get out of the cab

You don't have to treat me like a child or someone of limited intellect.
*looks up*
Ah. So it is. And so sparkly.
*looks back at Molly*
You're overreacting, you know. The record for going without sleep is eleven days, and I've only been up for--
*checks date on watch*
--four. I will sleep before the tenth day.
*pulls coat tighter*
It's a bit cold up here, especially for those of us without shoes.
*sniff*
Is that...salmon?
*blinks as if to clear head*
I must look like an idiot. Or a mental patient.

*Irene's waiting at the entrance to the restaurant, eyebrow arched at the two of them*
What the hell, Sherlock?

greets IreneHi Irene, Sherlock had the great idea to not sleep for 4 days and stop using his nicotine patches at the same time and now he wants to eat salmon. I hope I won't have to pay for the food, because if yes I would not be able to buy Glee S2 this month.

It's an experiment. Would you rather I performed it on John? Yes. Salmon. The last time I had salmon was in Belarus.
You're looking quite soggy tonight, Irene.
Talking of which, we should probably get inside before my computer gets soaked. Decades of case files are on it.
*blinks hard, sways slightly*
I thought the river was smooth today?

Right.... Let's get you inside... to a private table where there are less people who can... stare.
*puts hand on Sherlock's back to lead him in, motioning for Molly to follow*
Salmon's on me, Sherlykins. And I'll get a warm, fluffy towel for that laptop of yours, hows that?

Don't be so patronizing, Molly, it doesn't suit you. I'd expect it from your so-called boyfriend but not you. You couldn't hurt a fly if you wanted to. And it's "fewer people" not "less people". Don't give me reason to doubt your intelligence. *rolls eyes both out of exhaustion and annoyance*

*snatches Sherlock's phone and hides it in her purse*
No texting for you, mister.
As for the criminal classes, they have been a bit quiet as of late. Which I'm guessing is the reason why you are inflicting this experiment on yourself.

*annoyed that Irene took the phone*
I need that. How am I supposed to know if Mrs. Hudson's been viciously murdered in my kitchen?
*pout face*
Turn off that irritating 68-beats-per-minute techno beat before I shoot it.
*does not realize he's hearing his heartbeat*
*is about to argue with Molly, but shuts his eyes hard, sways slightly, goes drastically pale, and holds himself up*
I am bored. There's no one in the criminal world worth dealing with, except possibly Moriarty. There's no one at the flat--Mrs. Hudson went out for groceries three days ago and hasn't come back and John's in Hawai'i. Mycroft's not texting me. Stamford's on a lecture tour, and even my skull's not willing to engage in conversation.
*to the waiter*
Salmon...uh...
*consults menu*
Loch Duart Salmon with Bouilbasse Sauce and Steamed New Potatoes. Whatever "new potatoes" is meant to mean.
*blinks hard again, shakes head slightly, looks at something behind the waiter that isn't there*
*softly*
Carl Powers. You're dead.

Sherlock. You need sleep. This isn't healthy. And to be completely honest; I agree with Molly. John's on holiday so you're lonely. And I don't see how hallucinating is going to help and neither is sleep deprivation.
You are more important that any experiment and if you're lonely, well, talk to me. Or Molly.
Hell, even Jim's available for a conversation.
...And please tell me you're not seeing dead people? ...Which Carl Powers is...

I doubt he'll talk to me, but you should really talk to Irene. I'm serious Sherlock, I don't want you to drown yourself in the Thames or something, just because some of your imaginary friends told you to...

*looks away from imaginary Carl and back at Molly*
Don't be stupid. I'm not going to drown myself. I know all the effects it has on the body. Besides, it would be just idiotic to cut short such a brilliant career.
I'm not talking to you, Wintham.
The worst bit of this isn't the sleep deprivation-induced hallucinations. I was perfectly prepared for that. I hadn't counted on the nicotine withdrawals affecting me as strongly as they are. When I cut off my other habit, it wasn't like this.
*shudder, head shake, swallow*
Where's my bloody salmon?

It's coming, Sherlock. Patience...
Wow. He's worse off than I thought. I hope Jim doesn't find out about Sherlock's current state. He's too vulnerable. I'll have to keep an eye on Sherlock for his own safety...
*subconsciously chews on her bottom lip*
