It has currently been around 1 and half years since the disappearance of Sherlock Holmes and Master Criminal James Moriarty. While saddened by the apparent death of his friend and comrade, Watson remained strong. He had his practice and his wife Mary; they kept him from going mad with grief. Soon after Mary became pregnant and his practice was booming, all was well for Dr. Watson. Alas this was not the same for everyone.
Scotland Yard had been swamped with many of the types of strange cases that Holmes usually solved. While Lestrade and the other members of Scotland Yard did their best it wasn’t enough. The most notable of these cases were ones that appeaered to be similar to the ones commited by Jack the ripper. Other notable cases included Apparent suicides from the Tower of London, but the cause of death was drowning. The lungs of the victims were filled with water found in old Moats, which was coincidental as all the victims were found in the dry ditch that formerly housed the moat of the Tower.
As time drug on, things took a turn for the worst, for Dr. Watson. His Wife Mary died during childbirth, with their son following soon after. This coupled with the ongoing disappearance of Holmes, Led Watson to both drink and obsess over searching for Holmes. The drinking led to him losing his practice, but he was still able to make a living and support himself through being a mobile medical practitioner of sorts, travelling throughout England ond other places to examine and occasionally help people. On many of the occasions that he did this, it was not just for money, but to follow possible leads as well.
Many at Scotland Yard still respected him for his work done with Holmes. To help an acquaintance Inspector Lestrade managed to convince Watson to both quit drinking and to help Scotland Yard. For a while Watson helped the Yard alone. As the cases piled up, Watson was swamped once more. This eventually led to Watson putting out an ad, for recruitment. The interviews and the like will take place at 221 Baker Street, Which Watson now owns fully.
Hello Fellow denizens of NS, This is a thread for anyone who would like to join an rp which takes place during the years after Holme's "Death".
