You hardly have a handle on this language yet you wish to attempt me.

Somehow I don't think this is anywhere within the range of an intelligent decision.

Use your higher mental faculties and think, Irene Adler. I wouldn't put it past you to have had access to the media coverage, I'm sure you could pick out a thing or two from the press.

[ascandal]

Well. I thought you knew me a little better than that, Sherlock Holmes. You're only as deceased as I am. You think I haven't been following your story? How could I not; it's been so terribly thrilling.

i mislabeled this icon gd it

[ex_elucidation693]

Which brings me to wonder on the "why" - why are asking questions you know the answer to? Are you being facetious now?

I would think that would be beneath you.

IT'S COOL WE ALL THOUGHT HE WAS MORIARTY AT FIRST haha

[ascandal]

My, my. You're being awfully touchy today.

sadly true :(

[ex_elucidation693]

Oh, is my charming personality faltering?

b-but we know better now?

[ascandal]

Just a touch.

sadly not me! also wtf spellcheck CHEQUE IS A WORD

[ex_elucidation693]

Dutifully sorry to the commonwealth, I'll make sure to write a cheque for compensation, now was there something actually of interest to discuss?

spellcheck doesn't understand.

[ascandal]

Still so cold, Mr. Holmes. I thought we'd have loads to talk about, now that we're both ghosts.

it hates non-american spelling.

[ex_elucidation693]

And what do active ectoplasms have to discuss?

[He's just bored out of his head here, really. Haha.]

how dare it.

[ascandal]

Anything. Everything. I'm sure there's something you've been wanting to rant about, and with your new lifestyle...

[She crosses her legs.]

Well, go on.

indeed :E

[ex_elucidation693]

I'd gladly indulge if not for the slight difference in our mutual situation, Adler.

Your death wasn't exactly public.

[ascandal]

[True. She's been said to be in America, and beheaded. In reality, she's just been traveling... bored, of course, and missing various aspects of her old life.]

If you're so insistent on playing this game, I'm afraid that I'll have to fold.

[Her tone is slightly colder, just barely detectable.]

[ex_elucidation693]

[Beheaded in America just doesn't have the same ring to it - and it's such an ugly conclusion to a story, too.]

I trust in my ability to avoid the few mistakes I've overlooked in doing before, I'd rather not.

[ascandal]

[...]

Well, then. I'll leave you to your... thoughts.

[ex_elucidation693]

Already? You're letting that go.

Has being dead changed you so, Irene Adler?

[ascandal]

I should hope not.

Fine, then. I'm curious. What were the few crucial mistakes that Sherlock Holmes made, in the end?

[ex_elucidation693]

I allowed you to keep talking, for one.

[As much an admission of a misstep, but he's not going to sugarcoat this even to himself.]

[ascandal]

[She quirks a brow.]

Yes, I suppose that was one.

But, don't act as if you didn't choose it.

[ex_elucidation693]

I'm rectifying that now, aren't I?

[You barged into his life like Mycroft kidnaps John.]

[ascandal]

[An appropriate simile.]

You can't change what's happened, no matter how you intend on "rectifying" things.
