most tremulous voice testing.

Mundane,

What, exactly, are you waiting for? If you're going to attempt to play me without making an absolute fool of yourself, you need to watch the second season. You can't possibly expect to play anyone adequately with less information than everyone around you, much less me.

No, 'waiting to watch the episodes with John's mun' is not a valid excuse. I'm always ten steps ahead of him; you need to be ten steps ahead of her, as well.





...Well, if we can't even agree on that, I can already conclude that you're going to fail at this spectacularly. Oh, by all means, do try to prove me wrong. Nobody else has succeeded at it, but I'm quite sure you can be the first.

Shut up.

Mycroft doesn't count. And if you like him so much, maybe you should go and play him instead of bothering me. I do have more important things I can be doing.

Muns never listen to what we have to say. It's an annoying but true fact.

[consultingsociopath]

They'll listen when they have enough proof, surely.

[1_truth]

I wouldn't hold out too much hope. They're usually pretty stubborn get their way no matter what.

[consultingsociopath]

I can hardly be expected to hang about here all day. I have things things do.





And I'll get bored.

[1_truth]

As do I.

As for boredom though, you could try reading? For you specifically- I'd recommend anything by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle- I'm sure you'd find it fascinating.

[wealldosillythings]

Do you need any help with those important things?

[consultingsociopath]

I might, if I were allowed to address them.

[All those lovely bodies just waiting in the morgue, all those fascinating experiments which could be carried out... And he's here, instead. Stalled. Waiting for someone else's schedule. Insufferable.]

You have a word with her; maybe she'll listen to reason if it isn't coming from me.

[wealldosillythings]

Gosh, you really must be desperate, huh? [She clears her throat a little, nervously] I-I mean, to be, you know, asking someone to listen to me, that is.

Um, Ms. Mundane? A-Are you there, it's me, Molly. Oh that's probably dumb you must have at least a small idea of who I am...I think.
Um...c-could you maybe be a bit nicer to Sherlock? Or at least watch one episode of the second season to appease him? You could always rewatch it with your John-mun friend...

...Sherlock, I'm sorry, I think I'm rubbish at this.

OH GOOD LORD, THAT'S SO ADORABLE I MIGHT ACTUALLY DIE. Molly! <3

[consultingsociopath]

[Examination of the evidence has led him to conclude that mundanes never listen to their own muses, but he hasn't seen a muse try to convince someone else's mundane of anything as yet. It's worth the try to eliminate the possibility.]

That remains to be seen; she appears to be considering it.

[Technically, she's been considering it for an hour or two now, but given John's words about the difference between kind and not-kind (coupled with all that business with 'Jim' turning out to be a horrible criminal mastermind (who possibly is still gay) and not just likely to dump her for some bloke), he's giving it a go.]

:D

[wealldosillythings]

Oh, r-really? Well, that's good, that means there's hope then, right? [Hope is good! Have a hopeful Molly smile]

WHAT AM I DOING-

[originalnumber]

[There appears to be a naked blue genderless alien hovering nearby and staring at you with obvious interest in... Something.

Possibly anything really. He speaks...

Eventually.] I have observed that 'mundanes' do not listen well to logical requests unfortunately. Though I am interested in who these others you speak of are.

What sort of effect does a 'Mycroft' have? It does not sound like a human name. [Guess what Astral.

It is.]

I don't know, but I apologise for Sherlock in advance?

[consultingsociopath]

...This is what the evidence suggests.






A very ugly one.

[This is Sherlock entirely glossing over the weirdness of whatever it is that you are, because he's new to this meta business, and his brain might stall forever if he attempts to process this much at once, at the level on which he processes.]

Pleaaaase~ Don't apologize~ (been wanting to throw Astral at him for ages~)

[originalnumber]

I am inclined to agree with this- of all the human names I have heard thus far, Mycroft does not appear to make much sense.

However, as I am typically located in an area known to many as 'Japan', it is more likely that the name is merely 'foreign'. [And then there was more staring...]

...You appear to be much brighter than most. [Eh..?]

You say that now...

[consultingsociopath]

Names infrequently have great bearing on the personality of those they refer to; generally an apparent connection is merely a spurious relationship due to the presence of confounding factors such as social class or parent personalities.

[And Mycroft makes far more sense than Sherlock would like, but he'd sooner cut his tongue out than admit to it.]

It's not a common name in England, either, but that wasn't what I meant.

[Bizarrely, explaining things to naked genderless creature is less irksome than explaining to a regular human being-- you obviously have a reason for not understanding simple things since you clearly don't come from anything like the sort of world Sherlock is accustomed to.]


...Yes. [It's an obvious statement of fact, but he'll acknowledge it. Barely.]

I remember the day I found out what Sherlock meant...

[originalnumber]

Is that so. [. . .]

How interesting... [He briefly goes into thought before looking back to Sherlock.] In that case, what sort of meaning does your own name hold for you?

[bigbrotheriswatching]

Mine says I am a little easier to play than you. Less of an inclination to show off.

As he shows up in my episode, so he shows up in my inbox. :D

[consultingsociopath]

[Oh, of course. Of course. Hello, Mycroft. Who else? Because life just hates him this much, doesn't it?]

That very statement is enormously contradictory, you realise.

psi!Croft, apparently.

[bigbrotheriswatching]

Why do you say so?

No, no, no. He's not allowed to be psychic on top of everything else; it isn't fair, GDI!

[consultingsociopath]

You're trying to be better at this.



Congratulations on being an easier pet to keep; I'm sure it's very satisfying for you.

[bigbrotheriswatching]

Don't take it too much to heart.

She does have one of each.

[hisdearblogger]

My mun has not seen the second season, either. (But not by choice, they wish to point out frequently.)

I can see, though, how that would annoy you if your mun did so by choice.

[consultingsociopath]

Mine does everything by choice. (Except sleep.) Including not watching the rest of the episodes.

It's extremely irritating, to be subject to their whims.

[hisdearblogger]

It certainly is.

[ A shrug. ]

But I suppose it's better than doing nothing...

[consultingsociopath]

Is that what you're stuck with?

[These mundanes, he hates them. So little evidence available for scrutiny.]

[hisdearblogger]

I've been stuck with doing nothing for far too long in my opinion.

Being able to do anything is better than that.
