Advent Calender: Day 1

[anarion]

This is an Advent calendar filled with 221Bs, brought to you by days_of_storm and me. We will post in rotation, so you get a 221B by me one day and one from her the next day, right up until Christmas.
Apart from the overall Christmasy theme we decided to refer to the previous 221B so that there will be a story in the end. Let's see how that works out.

A happy pre-Christmas season to all of you! :)





“Oh, I know that one!”

Lestrade slammed his hand down on the table, everyone else far too stunned by his outburst to make a move.

It was the first of December and the heavy snowfall had taken all of them by surprise while they were wrapping up the last case – snowed in at NSY. Luckily Sally had whipped out a board game from somewhere.

“Hang on. How can you know that?” Sally eyed him suspiciously.

“What is that supposed to mean?”

“Well, I am pretty sure Sherlock knows, what with being a brilliant freak and so on. And Doctor Watson probably knows since he is a medic. But you?”

“And what about me?”

“Anderson, you haven’t answered a single question of the game so far, what makes you think anyone would believe you capable of answering this?”

Sherlock did not even bother to look at Anderson, instead he watched Lestrade curiously.

“How do you know it?”

“I feel a funny and possibly embarrassing story coming up.” John grinned.

“Ok, fine. I watched a movie recently where it was mentioned and I got curious. I was pretty sure they had made it up.”

Laughter around the table.

“You were doubted, so you have to prove your knowledge. What is the chemical element with the atomic number 4?”

“Beryllium.”



---------------
AN: Yep, I made that game up. Basically a question is asked and you have to shout if you know the answer (or pretend to know it). The others can either believe you or question you. If you really knew the answer (or lied convincingly, so that no one questions you), you get a point. If you lied, the other gets one. It probably needs more rules to work, but you get the idea. ;)

Also the movie mentioned by Lestrade is one of my favourites. Do Beryllium Spheres ring a bell, anyone? ;)

1000 kisses to days_of_storm for doing this with me! ♥♥♥
