Oh, right, just want to hop right back on the horse here, yeah? Sounds great! A proper do-over. It'll be like you never had me lose my hair, turn translucent, or had me murdered in the middle of a bloody conversation last time. [ You'll put an eye out with that kind of sarcasm. ]

That doesn't even cover the wings and barcode disaster, does it? Better to leave off with all this while you're ahead.

Grandpa!

[consultantsson]

Glad to see you're.... mostly okay now though.

conannnn

[consultsdetective]

Yeah, that could be worse. [ Point to the honorary grandkid. ] What about you, though? Still running up any trouble?

/switching journals because icons >>

[tantiny]

My mun found a new survival/horror game to put in so that can't be helped.

jesus one of these days i'll get all my notifs

[consultsdetective]

Can't be helped? If they'd stop throwing you into survival horror, you wouldn't have to deal with it! They can help that. [ he is so offended by these people all the time, how is it possible to be so offended. ]

[tantiny]

I'll be okay, I'm quite fond of mysteries after all.

[consultsdetective]

Yeah, but there's a mystery and then there's... ghost ships and torture. [ Nope, running a hand through his hair. Kids and horror? It's like the bane of his entire existence.

Tiny Sherlocks. Honestly. ]

[tantiny]

If it makes you feel any better I'm not on a ghost ship anymore. [ But still a torture setting. Whoops. ]

[consultsdetective]

[ He considers this and brings to bear half of a shrug. ]

Little bit helpful, yeah. It's not exactly moving you up to a resort or anything, but it's still not the bloody Charon.

[tantiny]

No, it's an enclosed area where everyone is a potential sacrifice.

[consultsdetective]

...

People just don't put together games about parks or going to school around here, do they? [ It's completely despairing. He knows that they don't. ]

[tantiny]

[ ...Oops. He accidentally alarmed grandpa ]

I think they do have some school games, but my mun just isn't interested in those.

[worldsonly]

The murder clearly didn't stick, so why are you still fussing?

[consultsdetective]

'course not. [ He thought he'd be more used to these deadly shenanigans by now, really. ] Always comes down to that, doesn't it? Off taste and whatever's likely to get people into trouble.

[ He would arrest them if he could, Conan. Child endangerment. He'd be all over it. ]

[logicals]

Still. Could be worse.

[consultsdetective]

[ Sherlock, pls. Now he has to be even more outraged. ]

Oh, right, what was I thinking? I mean, a little thing like death and all. Walk around the park, isn't it? [ ...actually, with as long as he's been knocking about in headspace, he's not sure if he's more upset about being killed off to leave a game, or the fact that he was legitimately in the middle of a friendly conversation when it happened. But he's still mad. It's the principle of the thing. ]

[tantiny]

The sacrifice thing is new, but really, it'd be a lie to say I'm not used to life threatening situations-comes with living at a detective agency.

[consultsdetective]

...

Is that what's happening, then? A dozen Sherlock Holmes are gonna line up and tell me I'm overreacting? [ WHY ARE YOU ALL SO RUDE........ ] I think I've got a right to be offended here!

[ He was in the middle of talking do you have any idea how annoying it is to be murdered when you're conversing ]

[worldsonly]

[ yeah but like Sherlock has ever cared tho ]

Evidently, yes. Murder just isn't what it used to be.

[ not that you'd get it out of him with anything short of torture, but his ribbing is intended to be good-natured. ]

[logicals]

You are overreacting.

_{[ simple. to the point. just like grep. you could be in a sex game forced to shag your best friend, for instance. these things apparently happen. ]}

Did you at least find whoever killed you?

[consultsdetective]

Doesn't mean anyone's supposed to be used to it.

[tantiny]

[ Shrug ]

It doesn't bother me.

[consultsdetective]

[ he loves you too bro

Let him display this love with an irritated eyeroll. ]

Yeah, well I don't need it evolving, thanks. Sets unrealistic expectations. [ Like "it's alright, they'll come back". ]

[consultsdetective]

[ Joke's on you, Sherlock, he has no best friend to be forced to shag. Just valued friends. ]

I would've gotten to work on it, but she never bothered bringing me back. Puts a damper on due process.

[worldsonly]

I don't know, sounds like you could finally solve a murder that way, if the victims can just come back from it.

Why your hair?

[consultsdetective]

Y'know, I do actually solve cases without you around. It's not like I get to pick and choose and then only take the ones you like best. [ Jimmies: rustled. Literally no one was surprised by that. ] And what do you mean, why my hair?

[consultsdetective]

[ Lestrade feels like his life is a ship.

At some point, he ran into an iceberg. Oh, harmless enough, really, a contained leak, enough time to get to shore. But he's slowly been taking on water. Only instead of water, it's intelligent detectives with little to no regard for their own health and safety. Intelligent detectives that he grew fond of, yeah, but also so very frustrated with as a direct result. ]

It's not any wonder you and Sherlock wound up running together, is it?

[worldsonly]

[ not really a chore for him to manage though, is it? ]

You said you lost your hair. What entertainment could possibly derive from your baldness?

[tantiny]

[ He doesn't see what the problem is. ]

Huh? I don't see what you mean.

[consultsdetective]

Sort of went hand-in-hand with the translucency. Lost my fingernails and everything. Kept well clear of you around then, of course. [ ~*~horror games~*~

Lestrade is appropriately defensive and uncomfortable right now. Oh, it happened a ways back and he's cool to discuss it with properly wielded sarcasm and/or dark humor, but it's also kind of like "ugh, that legitimately happened, roleplay is rude as hell". What a dilemma. ]
