Homeless forever

[archconsultant]

Yeah, nope. Boring. I'm not going to sit and even start listening to you. I mean, you can't even finish minesweeper on easy mode.

That is an affront to society.

How do you even get out of bed in the mornings?

Seriously? Easy mode? I thought babies could do that.

[archconsultant]

Seriously. Easy mode. It's quite tragic really. She probably has dead goldfish she's not even noticed are floating yet.

[ofdrumsthesound]

I can win in 20 seconds without even trying. Ten if I hurry.

[archconsultant]

[Wrinkles his nose at that.] That long? I do hope that's because you lagged or something.

[ofdrumsthesound]

It doesn't keep my attention very well. And the screen is small, so you have to be careful.

[archconsultant]

Oh please. Now you're defending yourself over a game of minesweeper? All of the follow the same basic algorithm. Anything over five seconds is a waste.

[ofdrumsthesound]

I can do it in a second or two if I really don't worry about misclicking. But that takes a couple of perception tricks that aren't possible for humans, and I try not to brag.

[archconsultant]

You do see what the big problem here is though. The great, big,obvious problem.

That anyone is playing that shitty game at all!!

[ofdrumsthesound]

That's just a sign that they aren't good enough at math to get tired of it, and I never expect humans to be any better than that.

[Sherlock raises an eyebrow.]

Your mun's ability to play minesweeper has no affect on the ability to play you. After all Minesweeper is a game of logic...

[Yup, Sherlock is commenting on Jim's logic.]

[archconsultant]

[Looks at his watch. Shakes his head.]

My my my, Sherlock. That was way too long for you to reply. If you were emergency services I'd be DEAD!!

[Straightens his tie.]

Minesweeper is for idiots. And she can't even manage that. Says it all really, like a fly bumping at a window to get out.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock watches as Moriarty checks his watch. But remains silent until Moriarty finishes talking.]

Well then, the two of you would make the perfect pair, since it sounds like you are trying to get away from your mun.

[archconsultant]

Oh no no no Sherlock, you're missing the point. I not once said I didn't want this mundane. In fact, I quite like this one because she's so mind-boggling normal. Stupid. Mundane. It means that I'll get everything I want without them thinking too hard on it.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock chuckles.]

Who's the fly now?

[archconsultant]

Smartass. Besides, I know if I ask so sweetly she'd open the window for me.

Your boyfriend must be corrupting you if you're finding things funny now. I like it. Next you'll be sat watching Eastenders and claiming dole money.

I'm bored, god. Boring boring boring. Daddy's clients aren't exactly exciting these days.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock raises an eyebrow at the "smartass" comment.]

Well, you have only one person to blame for your boredom, then.

[archconsultant]

[Raises both and grins right back.]

Well I won't be bored for much longer. Nope. I'd tell you why but then that would just make you lazy.

[you_dont_work_alone]

Is that what you do with your free time? Play games?

[archconsultant]

That's up for your interpretation, John. I'm a very busy man, though I'm sure your boyfriend will call it playing games. Depends on what kind of game I suppose.

[you_dont_work_alone]

[More boyfriend remarks. John frowns.]

Not the kind that are legal, I'm sure.

[archconsultant]

[Plenty more where that came from, John.]

Of course not. Where's the fun in that? This is why people are so dull! They all follow the same sets of rules, complete and utter sheep. You always have more fun if you play outside of the rules. And if you're blonde.

I'm not sure that's blonde you're trying to pull off there though. Tsk tsk.

[you_dont_work_alone]

Your version of playing outside the rules means people end up dead.

[archconsultant]

People die anyway, you can't deny that part Doctor Watson. And like you, ex-military, can talk. Even as a medic you still took part in one of the biggest mass killings this decade.

[Le shrug.]

Uh oh. Wait. Forget that. Your psychiatrist told me I wasn't supposed to say that. There there John, everything is rainbows and sunshine and don't let anyone tell you any different.

[Eyerolls.]

[you_dont_work_alone]

That was war. There's a difference.

[At least John likes to think so.]

And you have not been talking to my psychiatrist!

[archconsultant]

Not really. It just makes you worse than me because I actually get something for what I do, whereas you just got a pat on the back for making someone else their money. Bravo.

[Smirks.]

Have I not?
