Mundane,

While it may be amusing to you that articles relating to the original ACD stories occasionally crop up over the course of your academic research, they will serve neither your portrayal of me, nor your studies. Don't you have better things to do with your time than read irrelevant articles (which are more than likely full of errors anyway)? I happen to know for a fact that you do.

Do at least try to not be an idiot.

They're quite relevant.

Your predecessor wore the hat.

[consultingsociopath]

That has no bearing on anything.

From what I can discern, he donned it by choice.

[womanwhobeatyou]

So it would seem he has better taste.

[consultingsociopath]

I rather think not.





It's ridiculous.

[womanwhobeatyou]

The newspapers are enamoured of it.

[consultingsociopath]

Which is no endorsement at all.

They also used the word 'boffin' and abbreviated 'detective' to 'tec'. Clearly their judgement is not to be trusted.

[womanwhobeatyou]

I like your funny hat.

[consultingsociopath]

I realise.

Should I expect another dinner invitation?

[womanwhobeatyou]

Only if you can figure out where I am.

[consultsdetective]

Something to be said for not trying to piss a mun off in less than five sentences, you know.

[consultingsociopath]

If she's that sensitive, she shouldn't be trying to play me in the first place.

[consultsdetective]

Oh, I dunno about that. You do have your delicate sensibilities to consider and all.

Also: Greg love! ♥ (Apologies in advance for Sherlock.)

[consultingsociopath]

What are you talking about, Lestrade?

he's really new, but I couldn't resist ;u; ♥ (and don't worry about it)

[consultsdetective]

I'm saying you're... finnicky. [ Yes that is the best word. ]

Sherlock is pretty new, too, but don't tell him I said so. ;D

[consultingsociopath]

Discerning is hardly the same as delicate.

[consultsdetective]

Anderson's face puts you off! Since when is that just being discerning?

[consultingsociopath]

Oh, his face would put anyone off.

I would say I'm surprised that her research doesn't flatter you.

But, this is you. So.

[consultingsociopath]

I'm hardly flattered that she keeps catching reference to me everywhere she looks. It doesn't accomplish anything.

[hundredpercent]

And what is it that you think she should be accomplishing?

[consultingsociopath]

Something. Anything. She has schoolwork to do, to begin with, and as well as revising the actual canon. This sort of stuff is nonsense written by pseudo-intellectuals and doesn't even apply to me.

[hundredpercent]

I don't think it could hurt, looking over the original stories like that. At least yours is motivated to do something. Mine's gone off her rocker watching some ridiculous video.

[consultingsociopath]

Yes, thank you for that, John, she's now having some sort of convulsive episode as if she's been dosed with nitrous oxide.

Anyway, it wasn't the stories, it was some article about the stories, something to do with feminist interpretations of something-or-other; I stopped paying attention.

[hundredpercent]

Yes, well, now you know how I feel.

[ :l ] Still about the stories, though, aren't they? I think you're going about this the wrong way. I'd give yours credit for trying. You do have to live up there in her head, so maybe it's best to try being--

["Nice?"]

... You know.

[consultingsociopath]

And now you've inflicted it on the masses, it'll spread.






There may be some point to them.

[Congratulations, John, you almost got an admission out of him.]
