Really, mun? [Canon is Elementary]

[formersurgeon]

I don't particularly like the idea of being a puppet in your head. I don't appreciate anyone controlling me, and especially not my clients, so you can stop thinking that right now. Yes, Sherlock is a special case, in a number of ways, but he doesn't control me. Fine, manipulates. Yes, alright. It's hardly unusual for drug addicts, recovering and otherwise, to want to influence the people around them. It's often a substitute for the loss of control they feel due to the addiction. Sherlock just has, shall we say, more tools at his disposal.

[Godzilla understand you here. He REALLy doesn't like being a puppet in a college boy's head.

He wasn't a friend person, but has experienced manipulation on his son's part, though that was different.]

[formersurgeon]

[And now Godzilla's here?]

Okay, this just got really weird.

[atomic_wrath]

[Well, being simply weirded out is different than screaming and running around in panic, so Godzilla had to give her that much.]

[i_favour_you]

Manipulates spectacularly.

You can always use adjectives when they monitor my brilliance.

[formersurgeon]

Spectacularly, then.

And of course you were listening. Somehow. Are you in this woman's head, too?

[i_favour_you]

Possibly not, unless your woman happens to be an overworked phD student who desperately needs to write her literature critique. Fascinating stuff, the articles she's working on. For other people, I think. Immunology and cancer therapy. Not your field, I know.

The important thing is, though: Are you planning on a permanent home, or wandering the edges of these places with me?

[formersurgeon]

Not of expertise, no, but I still know a fair amount about them. Twelve years of study, and all.

What do you mean by permanent home?

[i_favour_you]

And valedictorian, I remember, though you did give that all up.

Permanent. Jamjar, hotel, boxed room. Little games and such. People play them around here. Hardly New York, but I suppose I can understand the appeal.

[formersurgeon]

Yet strangely enough, I seem to be finding all that education handy, recently.

Am I correct that you're offering me an alternative to the little games, then?

[i_favour_you]

As am I.

[he offers a little shrug] It might be something enjoyable, something to get away from it all. Though my mundane doesn't keep regular hours.

[formersurgeon]

Appropriate, considering you rarely do yourself.

I think I would like accompanying you, around here. And my mundane seems to agree.

[i_favour_you]

My mundane would love to offer you a starting point. Sort of a way to see what we might be like together.

[formersurgeon]

Interesting. Please thank her for that.
