ouch, broseph. may be going to vatheon
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!

[snappish there for a moment, but it's in jest. mostly.]
I shudder to think what they've done to the city proper, let alone the underground. This era has yet to impress me.
no subject
[ Go on. Seriously, bro: What? By what bizarre logic does this become his fault? ]
I'm not the one . . . attention-seeking.
[ He doesn't find this entertaining, no. Not at all. Derives no pleasure from winding Holmes up. Serious doctor face is serious. ]
no subject
[SCANDALIZED, KTHX.]
Perpetually replying keeps two pairs of eyes staring at the screens sucking away their time and mental capacity-
Single-handedly keeping these young minds trapped, Watson. Have you no shame.
no subject
[ Unimpressed. Utterly. ]
I don't think anyone could live with you and still have shame. [ With a Look. Are the dramatics over now? ]

detection. detection. I meant detection. why am I tagging at 230 in the blasted morning.
never mind; he raises an eyebrow, head back just a bit.]
In any case, I think it may be for the best that we try and distract ourselves from the depravity of the new era surrounding us. Do you agree.
230 seems more practical than...tagging in lecture. *kof* I MEAN WHAT I AM STUDENTING XD
I like it. Very clever. Very expanded. The wonders of the Empire, eh? Never another opportunity to see what becomes of it.
SHAAAAAAAME!
[and it's wreaking havoc on his over-attentive mind, that's for damn sure.]
Many brilliant innovations and inventions are being used almost shamefully, as if they've no better purpose than to distract the people from what's happening around them.
..Though, automobiles have shaped up rather nicely, I think.
shhhh i can do both at once ROLEPLAY > UNI
And you're certainly one to complain about distraction. [ Eyebrowssss. The drugs. The boxing. The experiments. Some on his dog. Is that a note of hypocrisy he detects, Holmes? ]
LMAO RAH RAH FIGHT THE POWAH
They can't exactly do something as inspired as creating their own camouflage while staring at a screen, Watson!
'xactly. oh btw i, like, friended you and stuff. your holmes is a+. /social awkwardness whatever
What a loss that would be.
Maybe you should acquire one of those machines, Holmes. It seems right up your alley. Instead of turning my old office into a nest of chemicals and-and string.
fjdklfjdlkfdj omg blushing forever. also, your Watson is just stunning. <3 friending back.
[YOU DOUBTED THE SPIDER'S WEB, WATSON!!]
I told you I would make good use of your office, and I have. That string aided me in stopping what may have been the most skillful criminal genius the world may ever see. Without it, I may very well have been lost, and civilization as we know it could have collapsed entirely.
aw ty. :DDD yayyy mutual love fest!
In the future, other people might consider a filing system. A box. A neat pile that can be tucked away in a desk drawer. It would make tidying-up easier.
[ Just saying. You so crazy, man. He worries ometimes. Sincerely. ]
What has become of those animals? I can't imagine Mrs Hudson eager to keep them in the flat. She'll decided to evict you one of these days, you know.
83 83 83!!!
[animals? what animals? you never said anything about any animals.]
Ha. Ha! Have you gone mad. How is a man to rightly think on all the facets of a single case if it's all tucked away in drawers. Honestly, Watson, you're starting to scare me.
[and here we are again, in partial histrionics. did you really miss this, Watson?]
Shouldn't you know my methods by now!? Haven't we been through enough together? I ask not as a colleague but as a friend, dear chap: have you been feeling well lately.
Because I'm starting to worry that life of complacence you call a marriage has started to addle your mind, and I fear the effects may be irreversible.
no subject
[ Why oh why oh why does he miss this? There is certainly nothing charming. Or fun. About any of it. If he keeps telling himself that, one day it will be true.
Also, dude: low blow. Glaaaare. ]
Don't. Mary has nothing to do with this, Holmes. My wife, my marriage—. We're not having this discussion anymore.
no subject
oh forgot to mention: idk if you have aim but if yes hit me up. sn is in his profile.
[ :| Mrrg. They keep discussing this even though he said he wouldn't discuss it. Oh deep breaths. Look at the ceiling. The ceiling will explain why his best friend is a lunatic. ]
Why do I let you involve me in this same conversation? Mary isn't a-a threat to my mind.
[ And dear lord, it's so absurd he was required to form that statement. No, no smiling. Serious conversation. Serious, important conversation. Only Holmes makes them sound insane. ]
She's lovely. I'm happy. Unlike—formaldehyde. Cocaine. Whatever it is you've decided to experiment with now.
