Muse on mun's inability to focus and her penchant for crossovers

[womanwhobeatyou]

You do realize it is entirely your fault that you are bored?

Do stop being skittish and do something, pet, or I will have to be very forceful. Especially to one of those myriad detectives and doctors you seem so fond of introducing me to.

I do so loathe boredom.

Hello there~

[womanwhobeatyou]

So you've told me, Mr. Holmes. Is that what brings you to my metaphorical door or are you volunteering?

hiya :)

[solvescases]

I seem to be more volunteered but it's no big loss. [After all, he's always fighting boredom too. What he really needs is a case.

Or a new wall to shoot at.]

Where have you been keeping yourself?

[womanwhobeatyou]

In hiding. It's what the dead do, isn't it?

[A smirk.] Don't tell me you're actually curious now.

[solvescases]

[Is that a hint of a smirk on him as well?]

Being recently deceased myself, I find curiosity gets the better of me. For now.

[womanwhobeatyou]

[She definitely recognizes it as the beginning of a smirk]

Death has been good to you. As for where I keep myself, well, the little mundane's inability to keep up does restrict my options to less... structured places.

[remembermeandrun]

Doctors, hm? Wouldn't happen to be of the time-traveling variety, would they?

[womanwhobeatyou]

Not at the moment, dear. More of the irritating diagnostician variety.

But I'd never underestimate the little mundane's appetite for ill-advised meetings if I were you.

[remembermeandrun]

Shame. No fun in the normal ones, usually.

Mine's the same way, likes to push me where I don't belong. Underestimating their capacity for bad ideas is usually a bad idea in and of itself. [Smirk.] Than again, bad ideas can lead to the best of situations.

[womanwhobeatyou]

[A laugh.] I'd hardly call the doctor with the limp normal. But you're quite right about bad ideas. I prefer to think of it as misbehaviour myself.

[remembermeandrun]

Then, I like the way you think.

[womanwhobeatyou]

[She laughs.] I suspect you're not so bad yourself, pet.

[failedreintegration]

[Someone picked up on that doctors notation too.] you're actually asking her to manipulate you.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Not quite. I'm insisting she stop being paralyzed by indecision and come along for the ride.

[failedreintegration]

[frown] Someone who doesn't want to go running into danger. Unusual trait in a savage.

[Please excuse him. He's from Gallifrey and apart from maybe two human beings he suffers from horrible Xenophobia.]

[womanwhobeatyou]

[Eyebrow raise.] Dismissive, arrogant. Not at all an unusual trait in a man who styles himself remarkable and of above average intellect.

[failedreintegration]

[He looks amused] Remarkable and above average intellect? When did I say that?

[stays]

Big decision, though, isn't it? To jump right into? If someone's a bit wishy-washy, well...

[womanwhobeatyou]

Some of us would say the little mundane's been too coddled as it is. It keeps her from taking risks. Misbehaving.

[stays]

Well, that's not so bad, is it? Being a bit cushion-y, when you can.

[womanwhobeatyou]

That depends entirely on what you want out of this little existence. Being a bit... cushion-y as you put it, is hardly on the top of my list, Miss Hooper.

[stays]

Oh, are you not a fan of... [Her eyes flick down for a hairsbreadth of a second, and then back up. God she feels inadequate.] Cushions...?

—No, I mean, no, that's, I'm certain you have a very long list and you seem the type to tackle all that pretty well so I suppose I'll leave it to you, shall I?

[bakedstreet]

[Did someone say "pet"? You did! Look, here's Gladstone. He'll be your pet, Irene. Take him away from Sherlock, okay?]

[womanwhobeatyou]

[Irene's just going to look at you skeptically, Gladstone.]

When I say "pet", I'm hardly being literal.

[bakedstreet]

[But Irene.

Irene.

Look at this hideously adorable face. It smiles for you. It snorts for you. It'll sneeze snot and slobber all over your best shoes, all for you. How can you not want a bulldog? They're so adorable!

Come closer, Irene. Give him some love!]
