on future flatmate shenanigans at somarium

[crimogen]

I don't care how amusing it is to you, but the Doctor is not allowed to set up his train sets across the bloody floor. I do have to walk on said floor, you realize.

If I knew that these were the sort of things that would happen, I would have never agreed to let him stay in my flat.

Not a fan of the recent Who series? [Because if you were, you really should have seen it coming.]

[crimogen]

I'm working most of the time its on. Crime doesn't stop just because there's a new episode.

[He can barely remember anything of the new series, and the classics were a long... long time ago.]

[comeonthensexy]

What says you won't be able to walk on it?

[crimogen]

I'd rather not risk injuring my feet by stepping on them.

[Dryly.]

[comeonthensexy]

So watch where you step!

[crimogen]

Watch where you put those tracks then, and don't put them everywhere.

[comeonthensexy]

But what if I need to?

[crimogen]

What possibly could be the reason that you need to do something like that?

[He just wants his floor back okay. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK.]

[comeonthensexy]

I don't know! Experiments.

[ YES IT IS. ]

[crimogen]

What, to see how soon one of us loses a toe to a train?

[He's just going to be very |: for now.]

[comeonthensexy]

A train set doesn't make you lose toes.

[ Fine, be that way. ]

[crimogen]

[Hey, you started it.]

...fine, it won't. But it'll certainly feel like it.

[comeonthensexy]

[ Did not. ]

Nothing you couldn't handle.

You could always join in. You can do incredible things with a train set.

[crimogen]

[Fine, another you you started it. But its close enough in Lestrade's book.]

I'm sure you can manage on your own.

[comeonthensexy]

Yes, of course I can, but that's no reason for you not to help.

[crimogen]

I have work, Doctor.

[comeonthensexy]

Yes, you humans tend to. Is it all you do?

[crimogen]

Seeing as I've got little else to do, yes.

[comeonthensexy]

Then why not do a bit of train set building? It's fun!

[crimogen]

[Up until it covers the entire floor.]

I think I'm a bit too old for that.

[...then again, the Doctor told him that he was 1200 years old...]

[comeonthensexy]

Oh, that's also a human thing. A boring, adult thing. You're never too old for anything.

[crimogen]

[It's not his fault that he's a boring old human, that's just who he is.]

We can't all be time-travelling aliens like you.

[comeonthensexy]

Of course not. That's not what I meant.

[crimogen]

Then what do you mean?

[comeonthensexy]

It's about living. If you feel like you're living, or not.

[crimogen]

'course I do, there's no reason why I wouldn't feel it.

[A simple man has simple pleasures.]

[comeonthensexy]

Well, then, if you're sure.

I still think you should try the train set.

[crimogen]

[...]

I'll think about it.

[That's not a yes, okay. He'll just... give it a thought. Maybe. If the whole floor isn't taken.]

[comeonthensexy]

Good.

[crimogen]

[And yet another moment where Lestrade wonders if having the Doctor as his soon to be flatmate is going to be worse than looking over Sherlock.]

[comeonthensexy]

[ It's probably not going to be all that different. They're both geniuses with a bit of a lack of understanding for usual social matters. ]

[crimogen]

[Amongst other things, yes.

At least there's not going to be a head in the fridge.]

[comeonthensexy]

[ Always a plus. ]

[crimogen]

[And the Doctor will actually remember his name...]

[comeonthensexy]

[ That, too. He never forgets a name. ]

[crimogen]

[Eleven gets +10000 points for that alone.]

[comeonthensexy]

[ Score! ]

[crimogen]

[Just don't waste them all so quickly...]

[personalcalls]

And I'd always heard such wonderful things about model trains. Sounds like a shame.

[crimogen]

I don't mind it lying around, I just don't want it everywhere.

[personalcalls]

Well, you could put up signs for a designated path through.

[crimogen]

[...maybe... although he has a feeling that the Doctor won't follow it anyway.]

I'll think about that.
