Voice Testing *Homeless

[holmestheelder]

You are adorable.

Really. In that fascinating way small children are adorable so long as they are quiet and belong to someone else.

I have no interest in inhabiting your head or dancing to your whims. Kindly take your misguided notion of a 'good idea' and apply it to someone else.

Do not make me repeat myself, it is tedious in the extreme. I have a government to keep track of and a brother to run; or the other way around, it changes each day to the next.

I do not do whims.

[Don't mind him, he's studying you a bit closely.]

You appear a bit out of the wrong time.

[has_two_wives]

You do not or you prefer not?

[ Looking a tad affronted by the accusation of his time being 'wrong'. ]

It's the perfectly right time as far as I'm concerned. Perhaps it's your time that's mistaken.

[holmestheelder]

I fail to see a difference.

[Oh how amusing. Were he given to such acts, Mycroft might smile.]

And pray tell, what would be the 'right' time as far as you are concerned?

[has_two_wives]

'Do not' implies you might have had a choice.

[ Watson here is perfectly given of smiles, when not around someone with the last name of 'Holmes'. Not that he's aware in this case, but maybe he's developed a sixth sense for these things. ]

1891.

[holmestheelder]

I do have a choice. If she gets too uppity I'll simply shut up.

[The date has him looking at you dubiously.]

Strange, you did not appear delusional.

[has_two_wives]

Do let the rest of us know how well that works for you.

[ These raised eyebrows and this tone says he doesn't expect much to go your way, but have fun regardless. Though that tone drops to a deadpan at the next part. ]

That would likely be because I'm not, I'll thank you.

[holmestheelder]

I'll leave very deliberate instructions.

[Deadpan, because he'll do nothing of the sort.]

You're not delusional, yet you're telling me you're from 1891. Were it not for the state of your clothes I'd expect you were escaped from one of the mental wards.

[has_two_wives]

How very thoughtful of you.

[ There's a forced smile with all his little passive aggressive discomfort. ]

Whereas you're telling me it isn't the year that it clearly is, and I have no such evidence to believe mental stability in you, my good man.

[holmestheelder]

[You're just getting a 'don't be boring' expression.]

[has_two_wives]

[ And you are getting the eyeroll Watson reserves for people named Holmes. Woe is his life. How he suffers. ]

You were the one to bring insanity into this, not me - don't give me that look.

[holmestheelder]

[Well, it is fitting to receive that eyeroll after all.]

Don't use an inane argument. Honestly, 'you started it', really is that the best you can do?

[has_two_wives]

[ He pinches the bridge of his nose, oh, migraine incoming. ]

Honestly, we're arguing over what bloody year it is, thus I'm fair certain we passed up inanity long ago.

[holmestheelder]

[Its a Holmes specialty!]

Because it is not 1891, it is in fact 2012.

[has_two_wives]

[ He narrows his eyes so very critically. Either someone's trying to be funny or the casual stab about insanity was more spot on then he meant. But he's endured nonsense before and he'll hear this out as well. ]

...And how am I to be any more convinced of you than you are of me?

[holmestheelder]

[Did you seriously just ask that question, Watson?? Holmes is going to look at you as if you hit your head ... often.]

How else do you explain the mode in which we are communicating?

[has_two_wives]

[ He gives such a very flat look. ]

I explain it as bizarre invention. Not as time-travel. [ Said in the tone that denotes all the absurdity that that is. ]
