someone is being REALLY resistant to current plots

[goodnotlucky]

Oh, of course I understand. Thirty-two hours in, you're already attempting to turn me into one of your punching bags. Like all the other sad little puppets you use to satisfy your thirst for personal angst.

Might as well face facts: I am too observant to get tricked and too cautious to succumb to an accidental dosage. I'll stick to blue, thanks, and you can take your rabid lust for 'man-pain' back to your other muses.

So frightened of what she can do?

[goodnotlucky]

They haven't been doing anything, apart from writing and re-writing a scenario they won't post because they know it's out of character.

[barsad]

Wasn't referring to them; was referring to mine. I'll be the puppet-master in this scenario, won't I?

[goodnotlucky]

[Sherlock just lets a huff out through his nose: a plain dismissal, though it'll be up to Barsad to interpret what, precisely, he's dismissing.]

[barsad]

I hear talk of orange-laced cupcakes.

[goodnotlucky]

No cupcakes.

[He's quiet now, resigned but frustrated and still thinking the situation is entirely ridiculous, thank you very much.]

It's going to be rice.

[barsad]

[ His lips purse, a soundless oh. How clever. ]

I take it back; I should have been referring to yours after all.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Care to place a wager on that?

[goodnotlucky]

[Given that, as a result of this post, his mun and the other in question have already worked out a solution?]

...I would not.

[womanwhobeatyou]

[This smile.]

Ah, afraid you'd lose.

[goodnotlucky]

Circumstances have already changed. It appears the mun's machinations will go forward regardless of my very sensible arguments.

[womanwhobeatyou]

[That makes her laugh.] I have to say, Mr. Holmes, I have never met a single one of you who could be considered 'sensible'.

[goodnotlucky]

'Able to make good judgments based on reason and experience rather than emotion;' I would argue I am quite sensible, a majority of the time.

[womanwhobeatyou]

If you had said 'correct judgements' rather than 'good,' I might agree with you.

[goodnotlucky]

Well, there you are. Now we're down to arguing the semantics of the definition.

[Somebody's extra tense and snippy this evening.]

[womanwhobeatyou]

Well, you are. I'm rather enjoying myself.

[goodnotlucky]

[Mostly to himself, highly dismissive:] Of course you are. Sadist.

[womanwhobeatyou]

[A smirk.] And you've a penchant for self-flagellation. What a pair we make.

[goodnotlucky]

We are not a pair.

[womanwhobeatyou]

A simple grouping of individuals, Mr. Holmes. Do you have something to be defensive about?

[napoleonsgun]

Everyone slips eventually.

[So how much do you not want to see Sebastian Moran right now?]

[goodnotlucky]

[So, so much.]

Quite another thing to have one's 'slip-ups' dictated from on high.

Or wouldn't you know about that?

[napoleonsgun]

It's not my area of expertise. I work with someone of a higher standard.

[And he sure as hell isn't talking about the mun.]

[[OOC: HAHAH That's my bad, I worded that funnily.]]

[goodnotlucky]

So I've heard.

[Ah, but this one isn't the same. Why would he be? Sherlock's seen enough of at least one of his other selves to know there are differences.]

A great deal of loyalty between the two of you, then, hm? You and your boss.

[napoleonsgun]

[Moran himself has had a few encounters with different versions of Holmes and some of the others. They're mostly from the future, like this one. And they all seem to have this uncouth habit of addressing things with this level of bluntness. Who puts words to loyalty? It's expressed through action.]

Doesn't pay to be otherwise, mate.
