I have but one question for you, Miss Mundane, and that question is thus: what, exactly, is the point? From what I've seen of your era, it revolves mainly around the glowing of bright screens of all shapes and sizes, zoning out thought processes for a quick fix of some form, things that most certainly do not do much in the way of legitimate mental stimulation, but seem instead bent towards the quick entertainment of the masses. The entire culture you're currently living in is rash and absolutely drunk on instant gratification. It's disappointing, to think radio waves and tele-vision waves have become nothing more than useless staples in a household, as opposed to doing some form of good.
You're wasting both your time and mine, Miss Mundane, with these little games of yours, and as long as absolutely nothing is actually being gained, physically nor intellectually, I cannot say I'm prepared to stand for it. You'll have to make do as is.
Of course, you might try, say, picking up a book instead, or perhaps trying your hand at an algebra problem or two. Anything, anything but wallowing in self-made stagnation, I beg of you!

Watson?

I'd say this might be confusing, but, well, you're you, aren't you. Nothing's really confusing.
no subject
And where is your cane? You haven't lost it, have you?
no subject
Who have I become? I should be asking you that question.

[eyebrow raise.]

Okay, to you, suppose I have. Er, this isn't the worst hobby, though. It's writing! Surely that's a bit mentally stimulating!
no subject
such as this very conversation could possibly be stimulating minds. I daresay, they're hacking away at their keys at all hours of the night and yet ultimately gain nothing.

I-- well, there's the sense of accomplishment, the completed logs, the friendships people make. It keeps people from being bored.
no subject
[never mind-]
Boredom is a curse, but I fail to see how this is the answer. Staring hour after hour at an empty page, waiting for a reply- no, I think they might be better off finding something more, ah- tangible to do.

You must ever think of the bigger picture, Watson! I may be detrimental to my own cause now, but with time I think I may be able to turn this entire string of events around to suit my needs.

..Are you accompanying me there, then?
[he just. stares for a moment.]
Very well, I shall have to factor that into my considerations. I must say, this is shaping up to be quite the interesting little sidebar to my usual adventures.
Woul-
[he cuts that off and looks down with a brief shake of his head.]
..Yes, never mind.
no subject
..."Would" what?
no subject
Nothing, Watson, never mind.
[a pause.]
I'm simply going to have to get used to the fact you and I have not a single shared memory between us.
no subject
...Yeah, that's... going to be strange. And then this girl has to go and pick the absolute worst point in time to pull me from on top of it.
