re: Imminent application to Multiversal

[defenestrations]

Oh, good. I was beginning to get bored.

[heardmermaids]

I already have a headache. Why do I have a headache?

[thedominatrix]

Lovely. You can shoot monsters instead of walls, make yourself useful for a change.

[ :D ]

I've got something of yours, as it happens.

[diogenesis]

Yes, I shouldn't think you'll suffer much boredom here, brother dearest.

[ goes about double-Sherlock-proofing his house, as previously recommended ]

[defenestrations]

[One blink, two blinks, three. His brother is the only person in the world who would read that correctly--he's startled. But, oh, he shouldn't be, of course Mycroft is already there.]

Oh, good. I might not wind up with so understanding a landlady the next time I fire a pistol at the walls of my flat.

[SPEAKING OF FLATS, DEAR BROTHER. Hide ya pillowcases, hide ya guest towels, etc etc. He's stuffing a Burger King crown in his coat pocket as you two speak, js.]

[defenestrations]

Monsters.

[...do not know if want or not want. In other words: business as usual.]

If you mean the esteemed Mycroft Holmes, you can keep him. Or set him outside; he's clever, he can find his way home.

[defenestrations]

I have that effect on people.

[blogging_mystery]

Yes. God forbid you ever get bored. [ There is a slight roll of his eyes, but a fondness is hidden in there as well. ]

[heardmermaids]

So goes the scuttlebutt.

[uncommon]

[Ladylike snort.]

Bored.

Please.

[You don't know the meaning of bored.

Or so Sherlock thinks, because somewhat understandably she's not actually on the lookout for a white male version of herself, and so has deduced that Sherlock is- let's see- obnoxious, a scientist, a trying-to-be-former smoker, rich enough to dabble and experiment with whatever he likes but living with a flatmate- boyfriend? No, flatmate, so that makes financial independence seem a little less likely...

She'll work it out. In the meantime, let the pissing contest begin.]

[diogenesis]

Mmm, yes... [ moving right along ]

Speaking of understanding. As I recall, the last time I saw you, you were jumping off a rooftop. I see you've done well for yourself since then.

[thedominatrix]

While your brother is very sweet and has been so much help lately, I'm actually talking about a very lovely purple D&G shirt.

I might not give it back, but I thought I ought to tell you that I've got it- you know, for the sake of fair play.

[doespostmortems]

Being dead and on the run is boring?

[controlledvariable]

What's that saying about only boring people getting bored? [Steph don't troll the grumpy genius]

[defenestrations]

Mm. So you've met His Royal Highness, then?

[defenestrations]

[My brother's done what now :| ]

I wondered where that had gotten to.

[defenestrations]

One would hope so, seeing as I just stepped from the rooftop.

[defenestrations]

Indeed. I haven't walls to shoot up yet.

[defenestrations]

[Understandably! Because it isn't as if he's looking for another version of himself, either.

So what he sees is someone also obnoxious, well-off but not without financial needs and worries (hence a flatshare), from a good enough family that her rebelliousness was a problem but who wasn't dissuaded from it, younger--youngest?--youngest child, ordered mind but easily distracted, deceptively athletic.

And a high need for stimulation and information, to be so understanding of what he means by bored.

Interesting.]

I shouldn't wish to be, no.

[defenestrations]

[There's a very tiny twitch of his lips. Almost an attempt at a smile? Almost.]

Well, seeing as I'm currently neither, I cannot give you an accurate report.

[defenestrations]

I wouldn't know; I've been bored but never boring and I don't tend to sustain conversations with those who are.

[controlledvariable]

How do you know you've never been boring? It's kind of a subjective thing.

[blogging_mystery]

Shoot walls is better then your other habits I have to say.

[defenestrations]

I've never been told I'm boring.

[Just told to piss off--look, it's so not the same thing.]

[controlledvariable]

Maybe people are just humoring you? You're kind of cute, that's a pretty good motivation for ignoring any bad qualities. [Steph........]

[defenestrations]

...not cute enough, I assure you.

[controlledvariable]

Maybe you should try brushing your hair. It might help.
