ataraxion! awaiting the game opening on sunday sob
We cannot both dither about the room in such a fervent manner, and due to seniority (ergo alluding to much practice in the area), I'll have to insist that you take a seat. It's my turn now.
Now, if you're expecting me to laud you on your newest of successes in your recent ventures, I'm afraid this match won't do at all. Really, space? A ship amongst the stars themselves when the technological advances of my age cease at a damned telegraph. That much will be educational, in the least - though I am loathe to admit, I'm most apparently stunted by the inventions of my time - though the hearty chortles at my expense will cease upon pain of ---- pain of something or another.
We'll discuss the other matter at a later date.
Insomuch as you can probably gather, the facts are obvious: I am inarguably intrigued, despite my annoyance. Less obvious therein: I won't put on that suit. You cannot make me.
It itches.

this is a new comment. totally new. yup. i'm not lazy.
[ YOUR CONSTANT NUDITY, HOLMES. IT UPSETS PEOPLE. ]
Without disrupting her life too much, if you don't mind.
there is no deja vu here it's an illusion
[ My junk is like a NECESSITY for this place okay, and besides I have undies on. ]
As I have been so heinously uplifted from my previous activities, I should think it a right of passage, at this juncture.
quite right.
[ ...dude come on. BE A HALPER. wear the damn clothes. ]
She doesn't deserve the full weight of your dissatisfaction, and you know it.
no subject
[ do you feel... exposed ]
[ I will fight you, I don't have to YET, nobody's stopping me. ]
Is that jealousy veiled within your tone?
no subject
[ watson cannot even rn. THIS IS WHY HE NEVER LEAVES SHERLOCK ALONE TOO LONG. SHIT LIKE THIS HAPPENS. ]
Jealousy. [ sarcastic fais, get. ] Of... what, exactly? Because it's not your propensity for nudity, and it's certainly not the prospect of a little peace and quiet for once. I'm just trying to ensure my temporary replacement isn't run ragged by your idea of gathering attention, is all.
no subject
[ He's JUST. NOT. WEARING TROUSERS because they're not trousers that he specifically got to pick out. It's not so bad!! ]
She knows my methods. [ suddenly, petulant child ] You suggest I'll do anything but show the utmost of chivalry and tact around the woman! Why, it's an outrage!
no subject
[ he has Fears okay. you wear weird stuff, holmes. ]
She has no idea what she's in for. [ and john in turn is more sardonic because somewhere along the line, poking bears became a hobby. possibly by the transitive property of friendship with sherlock holmes. ] Her name and her favorite color, then? If you're such close friends already.
no subject
[ okay it's not the robe you think but it's still basically just a robe IT'S LIKE AN OUTFIT ]
Some idea, enough. [ um hang on he knows this, and it's very evident by the debating tap of fingers against his chin and all that. ] Trick question, we've surpassed the need for names. Merely titles. It, ah, she likes various shades of blue. She told me. Just yesterday she told me.
no subject
At least it's something.
[ robes are not outfits, BZZZZZZZZZZZZT. incorrect, but thanks for playing. ]
That poor girl. Extend my sympathies, will you?
there was no typo shh
A something that will undoubtedly lead me to a something else, and in no time, I will have required a makeshift wardrobe. I'm very resourceful. [ translation: i am a dirty thief ]
Oh, my dear boy, ever the knight in shining three piece suit. Would you like to accompany her along the way? Perhaps hold her hand? You're projecting.
i saw no typo
...Right. I'll attempt to bring my own wardrobe along so that you have someone else to steal from, then? [ he knows his bro okay. ]
And now you're the jealous one. I'm just empathizing with her-- you're not an easy task to take on, you know.
yes precisely
Borrow. [ reflexively. ] With every intention of returning in -- in more or less the same, [ mildly destroyed oops, ] form.
I'm merely STATING that you may be underestimating her whims, and thus attaching your own opinions to the matter, perhaps not something too far outside of your realm of possibility, and if you'll notice, Miss... Mrs., no, Ms. Substitute Boswell, [ FLIPPANT HAND WAVE, ] seems in fact quite comfortable with the situation. Enamored!
no subject
[Have an intensely amused Irene, Holmes, eyebrowing just a little at your state of undress. Goodness, we are returning to nature, aren't we?]
Do try not to send the poor girl mad with your... intrigue, Sherlock; think of the consequences for yourself.
((OOC: YOU SAW NOTHING. I can spell. :\))
no subject
Consequences? Yes, amongst them remaining in my own, comfortable, and knowing territory. She's done nothing but attempt to harness a shark with a dog leash. Most sinister.
((ooc: It's okay, I totally called Watson a 'night in shining armor' in that thread above. We can live in Awkwardly Missed Letters Land together 8D))

A theoretical shift in generational trends, well worth being explored. A social experiment, its pursuance entirely unavoidable!
no subject
no subject
Small victories.
no subject
[ since irene doubts that even half of what sherlock has discovered has seen the light of day as of yet, it must be about personal satisfaction. just as it is for her when she finishes a perfectly executed job. her name will never be linked to it, but she knows it has happened, and that is satisfactory. ]
no subject
[ Holmes gives a small smile, wryly. ]
I think one should be hard-pressed to find a reasoning more compelling than their own personal advancements.
no subject
Oh, I should call it foolish, rather than sinister. This is hardly the first time someone incapable of the task has attempted to take advantage of you.
no subject
[ which most likely meant, how lovely when we understand each other. for all their similiarites, she and holmes tended to operate at cross-purposes. common ground was something to revel in, if only momentarily. ]
no subject
[ He smiles, curtly, and perhaps a bit sardonically. His tone certainly matches it. ]
Have you practice in this area, woman? I daresay you speak out of experience.
no subject
[ This is something of which he's fully and completely aware. Loath as he may be to admit, it's not as if he and Irene don't share the same approaches to so many things. After all, he is a rather impressive criminal as well, when he puts his mind to it. ]
And to what should I owe the pleasure of your company this evening, Ms. Adler?
no subject
I seem to recall rather the opposite.
[She is the woman, after all. And the times at which she has failed... well, it would be indelicate to talk about those, wouldn't it? Holmes surely wouldn't be so impolite.]
no subject
[ as if that is all there is to this moment. it's never that simple with irene. she is layer upon layer of motive and intention. there is little that she does without purpose. ]
You know how I enjoy our visits.
no subject
Then perhaps another with whom you've attempted to set yourself on par.
no subject
[ And his eyes squint just that little bit, the telltale mark of his wariness and his scrutiny. He'd be just as suspicious of Irene, of course, had she have given him an elaborately woven tale down to the last, imperceptible detail, rather than just a spur of the moment meeting. Her nature, of course, inspired it. ]
So you're free this evening?
no subject
[ her smile is saccharine sweet, so very innocent. it all comes to naught with sherlock, who suspects her no matter how nicely she simles at him, but it amuses irene to smile nicely either way, to counter his suspicion in the usual manner. ]
Are you inquiring for a particular reason?
no subject
I speak merely as an observer.
no subject
And, pray tell, to where is it your observations have led you?
no subject
That people who have not met you very frequently make the mistake of underestimating you.
[That's all. Nothing else.]
hi am i late
But on to the matter of your complaints: I agree with you. I too am being placed upon this awful, terrible ship, away from my home, my people, and everything that I love! It is like something out of a film by Merique, these space ships and space and [ Hand gestures, and his sentence trails off, unsure of what to say next. ]
--oh! Oui, the awful, terrible uniform we were given? I have no intention of wearing it either. Perhaps if we are to meet upon this ship, I could craft you a new pair of clothing? It would not be very hard. [ With a slightly smile: ] It would just, of course, come with a price.
no subject
Steal. [ he stresses each letter, drawing the word out. ] Steal, with no intent to return or take care of, thank you very much.
Ah, yes. Enamored of spending all her time catering to your demands, wiping your chin, seeing to it that you eat occasionally... she must be thrilled at it all.
no subject
Lent! [ His voice goes up half an octave, indignantly. ] Within all fair rules and meanings of the word, if perhaps ridding you of your worse crimes against fashion!
But only occasionally. You see, it's really not all so bad. We're working out a system in the good doctor's absence, making ends meet, as it were.
