Naturally, this would be the best venue to take the proverbial swing at it. "It" being undefined in general statements by those such as the elusive "they" everyone is so found of quoting, yet we both know that it feels neigh insurmountable at this point. While we shuffle through the humdrum of pointless posts of overstated insecurities, let me pose a thought for consideration: Why join the masses in the same tediousness when we both know what the end result will be?

Ah, see! now you're thinking. But let's not make the common mistake of confusing courage with foolishness. You may need a bit of both.

To the point, which I fear would go completely ignored if you were to continue this way. Diarrhea of the mouth is best left for talking heads and aspiring reporters.

If you're going to do this, then do it. Entertain me.

I do hate being bored.

Why am I not surprised that even as a guest in their little heads you are demanding?

[irregularities]

To consider myself a guest would be misleading. I'm a resident.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Permanent or temporary?

[irregularities]

That remains to be decided.

[womanwhobeatyou]

I suspect temporary.

[ofgallifrey]

Oh, come on. That's your reaction to discovering you've been nothing but make believe? Nothing but a show for the masses to consume, nothing but a simple fairy tale or story people tell each other to entertain? The entire fourth wall falls down right before your eyes and you're bored?

[irregularities]

Debating the consequences of this new-found existentialism seems, to me, to be a waste of time. I exist. And as such, I will exist as I wish.

[ofgallifrey]

Well, that's one way to look at it. Very straight-forward, you are, Mr...?

[irregularities]

Holmes. Sherlock Holmes.

[ofgallifrey]

OH.

[ofgallifrey]

Sherlock Holmes, blimey, wow, wow wow wow this is my lucky day. And due to the demolition work this place does to the fourth wall I don't even have to have that awkward conversation where I casually almost mention that you're actually fictitious! Oh, this is brilliant. I love this place!

[An excited, extended hand is protruded your way, Sherlock. And a bright smile!]

Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Holmes.

[unattached]

[ Oh yes, look at you, already talking your poor mun's ear off. ]

You'll get yourself evicted carrying on like that. Not everyone will put up with a world of trouble that has a tendency of shooting up the walls of his own flat when he's feeling needy, you know.

[irregularities]

One would hope that anyone with the intent of entertaining me for any period of time should be at least moderately prepared for the consequences.

[unattached]

Yeah, well, no one can really properly prepare themselves for a life with the great Sherlock Holmes, I'd say.

[ Is that experience talking with a hint of exasperation? There's a distinct possibility. ]

I'd say you could try being a little bit less of a tit to your landlord but I think we both know that'll fall on deaf ears.

[irregularities]

A change of habit would warrant a need to change them. As it stands, things have been going as expected.

[ He's only mostly impossible to tolerate. You would know that well, of course. ]

[unattached]

Yes, I'm certain they have.

[ He feels for your mun, you barmy bastard. He really does. Still, he finds an exhale of a laugh escaping him all the same; it's either laugh or cry with Sherlock, and he'll take the first where he can get it, thanks. ]

Glad to here you're settling in well enough for you, at least, even if it means you're inflicting yourself on people who probably don't deserve it.

[confidente]

You're certainly in a good mood. [ He says in the driest way possible. ]

[irregularities]

I could say likewise. [ Good morning, sarcasm. ]

[confidente]

Well, I haven't been woken up by gun shots in the middle of the night for a whole month straight. [ :) It's your second best friend, John being the first of course. ]

[irregularities]

That sounds dreadfully boring. [ Nothing like a good exploding pistol to get the blood running. ]

[mycroft_holmes]

[Addressing Sherlock's mun, since Mycroft knows it's pointless to talk to Sherlock.]

Don't mind him. He does... have a flare for the dramatic.

[aesthetics]

Yes, I'm noticing! It's all in good fun so far, at least. I know he was ecstatic to see this reply.

[mycroft_holmes]

Hummm... So ecstatic that he couldn't address me himself. How... typical.

[There's no hint of any emotion there. Though Sherlock probably knows better.]

[aesthetics]

Even if he won't, I still wanted to acknowledge you because I think you're a really fun and integral character!

[irregularities]

Stop before you embarrass yourself further.
