oh no no no nonono

[notordinary]

Oh. Oh.

This is good. This is good.

It isn't enough for you, anymore, is it. You're getting bored. I could have told you - could have warned you. He's ordinary. He's on the side of the angels. He'll always be boring, and you'll always want more.

You know the City, now, you know her webs - her intrigues - you know every last thread you could pull and twist.

You and I... We could bring the whole house of cards down. We could really show them something interesting. We could make sure no one was bored. We--



SHUT. UP.

IDIOT. COWARD.

Say no to me, and I will destroy you. Not today, oh no.

But just wait.

I'll burn you hollow from the inside.

[drpsychosomatic]

You have got to be kidding me.

[notordinary]

Oh. Don't be like that, Johnny-boy.

You're more ordinary than the rest of them combined. But even you must get bored.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

You can threaten me... you can threaten the rest of the lot... but threatening your mun? Really, I thought you were smarter than that.

[Sherlock might be the one getting bored now.]

[notordinary]

It isn't a threat, my dear.

It's a promise.

[anticorporate]

[oh jeez] Why not suggest a smaller game, easier to keep up with? It's better than the alternative.

[notordinary]

And start all over? [Tsk tsk tsk]

But it's all laid out so beautifully. It's so ready for just a gentle push.

I'm sure you can appreciate chaos~

[hacktivist]

Fascinating.

Professor Moriarty?

[notordinary]

Jim.

I've heard about you. I've heard you're friends.

nice subject line

[nonononono]

Uh, little head's up for you, man: the more you say "no," the funnier they find it. Turns into a joke, you see.

[NO NO NO NO]

lmao... nice.... username... XD

[notordinary]

Who or what are you supposed to be, exactly?

[deduction]

Empty threats, Jim. Without her permission you're as ineffective as the prime minister.

[He looks and sounds completely apathetic, but you'll be able to tell he's quite pleased about this.]

[notordinary]

[He twitches.]

I don't need permission. She can ignore me all she wants but she knows - she knows - it'll just burn, burn hotter and hotter and she won't be able to ignore me.

Oh no.

And neither will you.

zghshdsi cries anxiety

[deduce]

Oh, now you're boring me. We've been here before - are we going to go through the same song and dance?

I'm afraid I've forgotten my dancing shoes.

_{[ Why don't we just get to it. We both know why we're here. Time to act like he's slow. Like he doesn't understand. ]}

To be an angel is to be anything but ordinary.

don't worry i only bite REALLY HARD

[notordinary]

[He gently licks his lips. Gently smiles. Gently tilts his head.]

You really think that, don't you. Well you would. You consider your pet one.

[backatthehotel]

...could you, now?

[Sounds. Curious. Intrigued.]

woops i can spell

[notordinary]

[Oh. Oh ho. This one sounds like a customer.]

It's my specialty.

[viscerealist]

Now now, it does no good to yell and pout. Makes you sound like a child, for god's sake.

I do hope you manage to convince her, though. Might be just the thing to make that strange little city interesting.

It's funny. You're just begging to be sent there, and I'm more of a mind to protest my mun's decision.

[notordinary]

She won't be convinced. It requires a sacrifice, and one she isn't willing to make. Not until she's destroyed. Then she'll let me come out and play.

You could protest. But why bother? With all the possibilities.

[bestprofessional]

Doctor Moriarty, I presume?

[His arms are crossed, defensive, but he's making every indication that he plans to draw his revolver any second now.]

[notordinary]

Detective Inspector.

How's the round table? Still going in circles?

[Cool and calm as a pussycat, and a grin as wide as a Cheshire.]

[kharis]

Somebody needs a drink.

[notordinary]

There's a time and a place for pleasure and it isn't while I'm busy.

[But the grin spreads.]

[consultingsociopath]

And when you finish burning her-- What then? You'll be... trapped inside a broken mind, howling to get loose.

[He doesn't add the 'twice over'. But it is implied.]

[notordinary]

People always have a way of doing what I want, Sherlock. Once they've learned their lesson.

Sometimes it just takes a little extra to teach them.

[And a broken mind is the easiest to take over, isn't it?]

...apologies?

[harribel]

You have that power? [asks a hollow with sober interest]

never apologize

[notordinary]

It's not a power, darling, it's will.

Any man can start a fire. You just need to know what feeds it.

[ecphrasis]

[SCREECHING silently]

You--you can't come here.

[notordinary]

[Oh, Molly, Baby. Have a toothy grin.]

Oh, but I can.

Easily.

Have you missed me?

[aimsthegun]

Didn't your mother ever tell you that honey catches the most flies.

[Hello Boss~]

[notordinary]

My mother told me a lot of things, and none of it was very useful.

[But oh he can't quite help from grinning because where have you been.]

And by my count I seem to have pulled quite a bit into my web. Just not her.
