Watching John
Everyday when John would come home from work, the skull would be in a different place than it had been when he had left. At first, he thought it was Sherlock just moving it around, but when Sherlock and Mrs. Hudson went away for a few days, it kept moving. It appeared to have its destination set for John's room, but every time the skull got close (usually when it was outside the doorway of his room), John would place it back on the mantle.
One day after the jam jar had been mysteriously emptied and John had to go out and get some more, he returned to find the skull strangely missing. When John asked Sherlock where it had gone, Sherlock claimed that the thing had a mind of its own and probably was talking with Mrs. Hudson. John had given Sherlock a strange look and went about his business.
That night while John was asleep, he never noticed the skull sitting on his shelf, watching him and plotting ways to remove him from the equation.
