Tentative voice-testing... (still deciding canon point)

[watsoff]

So rather than throw me in with Sherlock, you've decided to put me with all your other crazy, less-than-sane, mass-murdering muses? Am I seriously the only ordinary person you have in here?

...No, no, the wizard does not count. Look, just, put me in a separate, sound-proof room from the others and it'll be fine. Some tea and biscuits would be nice too.

[atadiscoverer]

I'm sorry, doctor, but it rarely happens like that.

[watsoff]

[ Long-suffering sigh. ]

One unusual flatmate was bad enough. Now there's three of them.

[atadiscoverer]

Well, I'm blessed with other medical professionals to talk to. But there's also an archer and a redneck wrestling over a bottle of whiskey in the corner.

[A pause.]

The swearing is interesting.

[watsoff]

They don't threaten to bite you to death though, do they. I've seen some things, but I'm not sure I want to know how this man's going to bite anyone to death. That sort of thing is Sherlock's area of interest.

[atadiscoverer]

I'd say that's on par with aliens trying to suck the life out of you with their palms.

[Muse's canon is hard.]

[watsoff]

Aliens... Right. I could use one of those to keep the guy with the creepy laugh away.

[ Come on, John. It could be worse. ]

[atadiscoverer]

I loan you the redneck.

[watsoff]

Oh, you will? What's he like?

[ He is considering this very seriously. ]

[atadiscoverer]

Volatile, has problems trusting people.

Say the wrong bloody thing and it'll set him off. Excellent crossbowman. Of course, there's the archer he's currently drunkenly wrestling with.

Mun tells me he's a master assassin.

[watsoff]

An assassin? These other two are in the Mafia. I think the situation will worsen if he's let in. The one with the laugh can't resist provoking people.

[atadiscoverer]

Well, Mun says he's more of a superhero now. Pretty tough to crack.

[watsoff]

...I suppose it's worth a shot. If it doesn't work out, my mun can always expel him.

[atadiscoverer]

If I'm honest, I'm not hopeful. It's the only thing I could think of. I don't think I'd last two bloody minutes.

[watsoff]

I'd take bets on what the outcome would be if I weren't so bloody worried about the guy who's threatening to bite us if any more people come in. He has the most intense glare I've ever seen coming from a man.

[atadiscoverer]

How is it your fault if your mun makes more muses?

[watsoff]

I meant, I hope she doesn't make more. Because four people seems to be pushing his limits already.

[ There are also dragons. But it seems dragons don't count. ]

his username is unduly amusing to me.

[thedominatrix]

Headache, Dr Watson?

I've got a werewolf, a witch and a Miss Sherlock Holmes up here with me, which sort of sounds like an unpublished Narnia story, but there you have it.

it carries a lot of implications, doesn't it~ 1/2

[watsoff]

All you're missing is the wardrobe.

2/2!

[watsoff]

...Hang on, Miss Sherlock Holmes?

[thedominatrix]

Mm. She's a lot like the original, but much less polite. So you see, your situation could be worse.

[Because Irene would really mind being cooped up with a female Sherlock. Yes.]

[watsoff]

That does nothing to help the rumours going around that we're a couple.

[ Cranky Sherlocks he can deal with. THOSE RUMOURS THOUGH... ]

[thedominatrix]

Would you look at that heterosexual panic. Anyway, as far as I understand it, she's got a Jane Watson to occupy herself with, so I wouldn't worry too much.

[watsoff]

They're not- Are they...?

[Together?]

[thedominatrix]

They're just as close as you and he are.

[Take that how you will.]

[watsoff]

[ ^ This icon. Also keywords.

He wonders if fans would ship their female counterparts in the same way that they ship himself and Sherlock. ]

[thedominatrix]

And what's that face for?

I'd offer to put her on, but maybe that's a bit cruel.

[watsoff]

Um, [ahem] no, it's fine. I'm not sure how I'd react to actually seeing him as a woman.

[They're just friends, right? Of course they are. Silly John.]

[thedominatrix]

Precisely why I'm being nice and standing between you two.

[...'nice'.]

No matter how much I'd like to see your expression.

[watsoff]

That's...very kind of you.

[Now there's a word that wouldn't usually describe Adler.]

I don't suppose you've seen any male Sherlocks around, have you?

[thedominatrix]

Oh, all over the place. Hang around this tag, or that fittingly-named bakerstreet place, and you'll end up with more than you know what to do with- well. Unless you come up with something very imaginative, of course.

[watsoff]

[cough] I'm not really the imaginative type but, thanks. I'll have a look at that place.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Aside from the mass-murdering part, that sounds rather like how most people would describe your previous arrangement, Dr. Watson.

[watsoff]

Sherlock and I don't actively try to kill one another, Miss Adler.

[ Even though he'd dearly love to punch the man more often sometimes. ]

[womanwhobeatyou]

Perhaps not, though I do hear he attempts to poison you without much thought.

[watsoff]

I've learnt to tell when he's going to try. It's all just an experiment to him, and even though he says he has the antidote, I wouldn't put it past him to forget to administer it before he's done examining the body.
