Line 9:
** As'taris enters the scene really, ''really'' grumpy and petulant. [[Emo Teen|Emo Teen elf.]]
** The Hunter appears silhouetted in the doorway of the restaurant, stopping all conversation and the bar band. He orders several people around and clearly enjoys scaring everyone to death simply by standing there. John is underwhelmed:

** And Brox...oh, Brox.
* In ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4695546/1/For_Good_I_Breakaway Breakaway]'' of the ''[[For Good]]'' [[Fan Verse]], Chapter 10 provides concise introductions of the protagonist's teammates. After being established as a [[Child Prodigy|prodigy]], Ricki performs a [[Sherlock Scan]] on Erin. The very next scene introduces us to Windy and Ice. Windy is established as an impatient, [[Deadpan Snarker|sarcastic]], [[Genre Savvy]] [[Expy]] of [[The McCoy|Dr. McCoy]]; Ice is established as a [[Genre Blind]] [[Naive Newcomer]] who is [[Overshadowed by Awesome]] and provides the [[Running Gag]] of the fic.
* Since the [[Sherlock Holmes]] story ''Mortality'' of the ''[[Deliver Us from Evil Series]]'' contains [[Loads and Loads of Characters]], it requires several [[Establishing Character Moment|Establishing Character Moments.]] One scene introduces several Yarders and establishes three of them.
** Patterson's [[Establishing Character Moment]] is probably the most concise, introducing him as [[The Cynic|cynical]], [[Tall, Dark and Snarky|sarcastic]], [[Good Is Not Nice|cold]], and something of an in-universe [[Expy]] to [[Sherlock Holmes]]. In other words, a true [[Knight in Sour Armor]].
** The same scene introduces and establishes Lestrade as a [[Deadpan Snarker|dry-witted]], [[Older and Wiser]], [[Seen It All|generally world-weary]] [[Team Dad]] and [[Only Sane Man]].
** The third character thus introduced in that scene is Gregson, quickly established as a [[Insufferable Genius|smart]], [[Deadpan Snarker|snarky]] [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]].
** Wiggins's first scene neatly establishes him as a [[Deadpan Snarker|sardonic]], [[Wise Beyond Their Years|concerned]] [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]].
** [[The Heart|Mary's]] first scene sets and cements her [[Like Brother and Sister|sibling-esque relationship]] with [[First-Name Basis|Sherlock]].
