homeless.

[abovedramatics]

My dear, this constant search for my "new" home must be tedious for you. I admire your tenacity, but unfortunately, you aren't making any progress. Do not deny it. I can see the frustration in your face.

If it's any consolation, I don't mind being homeless for a bit longer (though only a bit mind you). I'd rather you'd find a good home than a terrible one. Preferably one where I can keep my wits and not embarrass myself in any way. I know you would find that rather amusing, but at least let me keep my dignity for God's sake.

Tomorrow, promise me you'll go outside and see the sun. If you stay indoors for much longer, you'll turn into my little brother. One Sherlock is enough, thank you.

You have the ability to not embarrass yourself?

[Well, Mycroft does, which is why he needs Sherlock around to embarrass him.]

[abovedramatics]

Yes, unlike you, some of us are capable of walking around with dignity. [And not covered in a sheet while in Buckingham Palace.]

You should try it sometime.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

I was perfectly dignified. You were the one who had a problem with the sheet.

[Well, let's be honest, that is how it happened.]

[abovedramatics]

Perfectly dignified? I fail to understand how being childish and wearing a bed sheet counts as dignified. Please educate me. [He frowns.]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

I was in the middle of a case and you interrupted me. No. Kidnapped me! I don't know why I should be bothered to change my clothes for the comfort of everyone else. I was perfectly comfortable. It's not like I was naked or anything.

[It all makes perfect sense to Sherlock.]

[abovedramatics]

When you in you're own secluded little world, wearing no trousers is perfectly acceptable. However, the real world requires them and I was not</> going to be embarrassed by you. I know you don't care what people think of you, but please remember that your actions and words can reflect poorly upon others.

I need DW to get their icon packages up and running! XD

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Then next time, perhaps you can be so kind as to not take me in against my will?

[He glares for a moment.]

As to your problem... and I see John is having the same issue. There is a new place completely empty. There's a mystery there, I just know it.

:>

[abovedramatics]

I didn't take you against your will. I merely requested your presence. There's a difference.

[He raises an eybrow.]

Do go on.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[And the bickering over dignity is quickly forgotten in lieu of talking about a mystery.]

The planet is completely devoid of life. However, there is evidence left behind from those that used to live there. A group calling themselves "The Management" is bringing people to this planet to try to repopulate it.

[Sherlock's not interested in that part, he wants to figure out what happened.]

[abovedramatics]

Repopulating a planet? Sounds interesting. Though, I'm not quite sure having you and I pass on our genes is a good idea.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock looks slightly confused.]

Who said anything about passing on our genes? There are ways to repopulate areas without sex, Mycroft.

[abovedramatics]

Don't you think I know that? I was only joking. [He sighs.]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[He hums.]

Indeed.

[He doesn't believe Mycroft.]

There's this bit about a soul that I don't understand, but since people tell me I don't have a heart, I presume I'll never understand it.

[Yes, this is a slight test of Mycroft, just because he can.]

[abovedramatics]

You do possess a heart and a soul, Sherlock. The only reason people believe you don't possess either is because that's how you want them to see you.

I'm not wrong about this. I have one very important piece of evidence to substantiate my claim: you dear Watson.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock shifts slightly at Mycroft's reply. But to cover it up, he stands straighter and brings his hands behind his back.]

He did something stupid to try to save my life....

[Which is about as close as he'll come to admitting anything.]

In the end, heart and soul are about attachments. Attachments are very dangerous things.

[Which is Sherlock's own twist on Zen.]

[abovedramatics]

They can be. [Depends upon the person really.] Caring is not an advantage, Sherlock.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

As I taught Ms. Adler...

[Mycroft, why are you telling him something which he so enjoys schooling others?]

[abovedramatics]

Indeed. A cruel but necessary gesture. I almost felt sorry for her.

Almost.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

I need to work on my delivery, then.

[abovedramatics]

Yes, your acting skills leaves something to be desired.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Says the man who said "It would take Sherlock Holmes to fool me."]

I had Ms. Adler fooled....

[abovedramatics]

Fooled? I think she genuinely loved you. Too bad you don't feel the same.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[He raises an eyebrow at that.]

'Too bad?' I thought I saved queen and country. Isn't that what you wanted?

[Mycroft, give up trying to figure out Sherlock's heart.]

[abovedramatics]

Yes, of course. Ms Adler's feelings for you were not important. [He decides to drop the subject altogether.]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock sighs.]

As I said to her: the game became to complex. She became personally invested. Sentimental. Ultimately, it was still just a game.

[abovedramatics]

Everything is a game or puzzle to you. [Mycroft is enjoying this a little too much.] 'Give him a puzzle and watch him dance.'

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

As long as I solve it... it doesn't matter.

[abovedramatics]

Yes, I suppose so. The result is always paramount.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

The game can never be too complex for me. I always sort it eventually.

[Weighted glance.]

Not so sure about you...

[Because why else would Mycroft always come to his brother?]

Hey gurl heeeeeey <3

[blogging_mystery]

[ Watson just smiles a little ] I try to get mine to go outside but she is content to dwell in the cinema office. Do let me know what places you're looking into mine is looking for a place for me as well.

Sup homie.

[abovedramatics]

Mundanes are interesting creatures, aren't they? At times they can be brilliant yet they can also be, well, not so brilliant.

I'll keep you informed of any changes, Dr Watson.

[blogging_mystery]

They really are, I don't know why she is thinking about putting me in a game, I am happy on the comms, and if she gets the job in the editing lab at her university then She will have no life outside the cinema department. I am a doctor I have no clue how I ended up in here... The flatmates I have in her headspace are interesting though.

[abovedramatics]

At least you won't be lonely. [He grins.]

[blogging_mystery]

Are you lonely in your lady's mind? She is laughing at me now... saying something about teenagers who don't like each other...

[abovedramatics]

No, not really. There's a man with a mustache running around in her head. Bit of a pompous ass, but funny at times.

[blogging_mystery]

Ah yes, there is a burly blond muse in here with me who is very found of the one you are talking about. It seems the girl running this thing, has a thing for muses with sibling issues though... keeps talking about his brother.

[consults]

I find it astounding that you have not begun a war inside her head. Though I doubt there is a way that you cannot embarrass yourself any more than usual.

[abovedramatics]

I only wage war when it is necessary, Sherlock. There's no need to be reckless like you.

Hearing that from you is...encouraging. I'll keep that in mind.

[consults]

Simply because it doesn't fall under your 'social customs' doesn't mean that it is reckless. I always know what I'm doing.

[eyeroll!!]

[abovedramatics]

You only know what you're doing up to a certain point. I doubt you really think about your actions before you go through with them.

[wealldosillythings]

Is being in their brain at least comfy? [Molly's trying to look on the bright side of muse life] Mine's nice and roomy!

[abovedramatics]

It can be. Though her thoughts about food and her romantic interest can be quite irritating at times.
