 Hello, mun!

I'm really excited you didn't decide to let me stagnate until I quieted down. I've watched that happen to a few others in that 'headspace' of yours, but I think the two of us are getting on fairly well, don't you?

I know that, ultimately, I have no say in where you end up putting me, and I know that your tastes tend to veer on the... darker side of things. But despite that, can you at least put me somewhere where I can do some good and make people happy? It doesn't matter if I know them or not; I'd love to see certain familiar faces, of course, but it's not necessary. There are lots of people in these so-called 'games' that look to be absolutely miserable, and I'd feel a lot better about things if I can put a smile on people's faces.

That's all I wanted to say, mun. Maybe you should get back to work now. Idle hands, and all that.

Such as?

[Sherlock sighs heavily.]

What have we just been talking about? I thought you were smart enough to keep up.

[thewomanwhocounts]

You didn't exactly give me any specifics!

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

I gave you all the specifics you needed.

[thewomanwhocounts]

The only specific you gave me was that you'd be involved in something dark.

... which, fine, I suppose that's specific enough, considering what I'd said earlier.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

I also said "no games" and that I have a place. Though, that last one might have been inferred.

[thewomanwhocounts]

... is that some sort of invitation?

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[He raises an eyebrow.]

What do you think?

[That wasn't said harshly.]

[thewomanwhocounts]

I think being properly asked to join you on some sort of adventure might be nice. Provided you want me there, of course.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Well, then when an idea for an adventure comes up, consider yourself invited.

[That was more of a grumble. He hates 'manners.']

[She tries not to laugh, really. She fails.]

Thank you. I'll be happy to do what I can to keep you out of too much trouble.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Going by how my writer does things... Trouble has usually already happened...

[He means, it's more the patching up that might be required.]

[thewomanwhocounts]

Then regardless, I'll do what I can. I always have, haven't I?

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Well then. Shall we begin?

[It's more of a challenge than an invitation.]

[thewomanwhocounts]

Let's.

[Challenge accepted, Mr. Holmes.]
