A Picture is Worth.... Meme
This ain't your mama's meme. Forget your RNG, forget your tired old prompts.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
It's easy. Comment with your character. Then go comment around.
But instead of pre-filled prompts with words or numbers, you find a gif or image (any gif/image from any canon or scenario you please) that sets the scene.
The picture is the prompt.

WARNING: THIS POST WILL BE IMAGE HEAVY. AND POSSIBLY NSFW AND THERE MAY BE TRIGGERS.

If you post an image that is violent or sexual in nature please LINK it, do not embed it into the comment.

Feel free to use this template to stick your image in there.

...Don't you think it's a little weird to stop a stranger and ask about that sort of shit?

[Please be a murder the ASBO Five wasn't involved in, please be a murder the ASBO Five wasn't involved in...

But to answer his question:]

If it was in the news, then yeah, maybe.

[At that, he actually laughs because, god, fuck you, Sherlock. It is just a little weird, just a little.]

It's why my friend and I are here. We're investigating it, and he told me to ask you about it. It's best to do what he asks.

Wot, are you some sort of private detective or something?

[You don't see those around much these days... and if they are indeed investigating a murder that happened due to someone's storm-induced powers, that's definitely cause for concern. Word gets out about people having powers, someone eventually figures out the ASBO shitheads have them too, and it won't be long until people put together why the two probation workers in charge have disappeared.]

And there are murders out here all the time; it's not exactly the safest city. Probably just another bloke gone mental... that happens more often than people think.

Oh, I know. Trust me, I know. I'm not a detective, but Sherlock calls himself a consulting detective, and I just happen to tag along.

[He takes a slow breath.]

This one happens to be unlike anything he's ever seen, [and he's absolutely giddy about it,] so I guess he turns to the people if it seems like an efficient plan.

[Oh boy... if at least one of them is a serious detective, she better keep on her toes.]

So... wot does he want to know from me? I don't exactly specialize in being some sort of murder informative.

[John can't even really answer that, so he just pulls his shoulders up and shrugs with arms and all, his expression almost troubled. Did Sherlock count on it not being very easy? He should have.]

I don't know. I only know that he saw something in you that makes him think you can help us.

Can't help you if I don't know who you're investigating, now can I? If you're not allowed to give names, at least say how the poor sap died.

[Then she'll know how much to cut out of her answer.]

Well... He's been... frozen. But Sherlock concludes that there's no possible way he could have been stuffed in a freezer first. Something about distance and no one having dragged him anywhere. He was just frozen on the spot and died.

[And it sure as hell isn't that cold. It's not even below zero.]

Well, I wouldn't worry about the killer if I were you.

[There's only one person in Wertham with that power... and fate hadn't been to kind to her. However, Alisha could have phrased her response better; it's clear she knows something about the murder... and the murderer.]

[Oh, yes, it does give it away. Even John can tell that much, and he wonders what it was about her that made Sherlock decide she was worth asking. He'll have to check, give Sherlock a chance to brag some.]

Why not?

You read the paper today?

[She shifts her weight onto her other foot, crossing her arms.]

Car fire in the cargo bay; two people were killed. [And one of them previously had been a pretty "frigid" young lady.]

Oh.

[ Oh. Wonder what Sherlock is going to think about that one. ]

Did you... know them?

Sort of.

[Met the boy twice, the girl once; she had been too busy dealing with the "power-reversing" effects of exctasy at the time to help prevent the unfortunate deaths.]

The guy showed up at the community centre the other day. Met the girl at a rave for all of five seconds.

Ah.

[ So she didn't really know them. What should he say then? ]

I'm sorry, even so? It's often... a little odd to find out people you've met died.

Shit happens. Long as Nathan's doing alright without his brother, that's wot matters.

[She shrugs it off; death had become a more and more frequent visitor in her life, and poor Alisha found it's far easier to not let it get to her and ignore its impact (to the best of her ability) than it is to deal with it completely.]

At any rate, pretty sure your murderer went up in flames.
