Don't you think watching all season 3 episodes three times is a little excessive?

...Wait. You're not going to be thinking of apping me to one of those 'games' are you? You are. And I suppose there's not anything I can do to change your mind? What about John? Sherlock? I can't just leave.

Well I guess I should be glad you haven't decided where to send me yet. Just make sure it's no where too horrible, yeah?

Myself or John might already be there... Depending on where she sends you. Of course our being there when you arrive doesn't mean we'll stick around.

[Sherlock had been pretty much abandoned.]

[goodforhim]

I don't really think she's going to take that into consideration to be honest...she's looking more at the games themselves rather than who's actually in them. God knows where I could end up.

[She tilts her head to the side slightly at his words] Are you speaking from experience?

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Several times over. These "game" things are... difficult for me. Well, beyond the "Personal Story Line" type places, anyway. The current one isn't too bad. Very strange, but not horrible.

[Most of the time, Sherlock can't deal with conforming or getting along with others for the sake of survival. So, it's rare a game works for him.]

Of course, if you came there currently, I wouldn't know you. That could be fun - or a total disaster. It's hard to tell with these things.

[goodforhim]

Oh...

[She frowns a little at that] Well, I'm sorry to hear that, Sherlock. It can't be easy moving from one place to another and never getting to just get back to normal. To be honest that's what I'm afraid of but at least it's not horrible.

My mun has actually had other people in your current game before, or so she tells me. It could be a possibility.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[He shrugs.]

Things that I like are not the things that my writer likes. somarium was a compromise. Save for the entire "it's not really me there" and everyone else seeing my dreams and nightmares, it's not horrible. [More nightmares than dreams, but he doesn't talk about that.]

I haven't been able to find any drugs or cigarettes and cases are few between.

[He's bored.]

But it's better than those other places... that force you to get along with people.

[He sounds utter disgusted by that thought.]

[goodforhim]

No? It seems we have that in common then. My writer would love to see me suffer as much as possible if she had the chance. Oh yes, my mun told me about the whole...'dream world' thing. I'm not sure I'd like having other people in my head, even if it is just dreams.

[No cases or drugs? He must be in hell.

She laughs a little at that

Oh come on, Sherlock. You're not as bad at meeting new people as you think you are, you know.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[He grimaces.]

There are cheerful. Flying. Ponies

[Said as if this were worse than his nightmares out there for all to see - and maybe it is.]

You get used to people seeing or even popping into your dreams. Since it happens to everyone, it levels the playing field - a bit.

[goodforhim]

...I'm sorry, what?

[Flying ponies? There are flying ponies? ...Well of course there are. There are strange things around here that's for sure, she should get used to them really]

Yes, I suppose that's one way of looking at it...so you're all alone there then? You don't have any...friends?

[It's a silly question but one she'll ask anyway]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Yes, Mary, that's what he said. Though, if he knew anything about popular culture, ever, he'd know they were "My Little Ponies."]

I don't have friends, Mary.

[He just has John. Though Molly, Mrs Hudson, Lestrade, and Mary herself are close behind.]

If you're asking if there's anyone there from our universe, no. John was there when I first arrived... but...

[He left.]

[the_new_sexy]

Do keep us posted.

[goodforhim]

Oh yes, I will don't worry about that, Sherlock.

I'm sure I'll have some thoughts about where my mun decides to send me. They're more likely to be bad than good at this point.

[the_new_sexy]

That should be more fun, though.

Shouldn't it?

[goodforhim]

I don't know...

I think I've had enough excitement recently to last me a lifetime. But I suppose I would get tired of somewhere on the more normal side eventually. I'd just rather not go somewhere where I could get injured or die at any moment.

[the_new_sexy]

No, Mrs. Watson, I doubt that. I think you could find yourself enjoying adventure as much as John does.

[archconsultant]

You wouldn't be here if they weren't thinking of apping you to a game.

[Duh.]

[goodforhim]

I don't know about that. There are plenty of people around here are happy to keep their muses out of games and only play them in memes or psls.

...I'm not sure which is worse.
