Voicetesting, Massive Spoilers for Elementary Finale

[playerofgames]

Well, you didn't hold out long at all, did you, darling?

It's alright. We all expected you would, and really, between her and I, you were working at quite the disadvantage.

So now, let's see what you and I can do.

Comments

[i_favour_you]

I imagine it won't be a great deal, considering your best bet for meeting anyone in a realm where you can do them any harm is a conjugal visit.

[playerofgames]

Such optimism in your justice system, Sherlock. Do you really think the charges will stick, even with a confession?

[i_favour_you]

I anticipate you'll try to make certain they don't. But you can't win this. Not this time. Not ever again. Because I'll stop you.

[playerofgames]

I have no doubt you'll try. But I've beaten you once, darling. I will do it again, even with your little mascot.

[i_favour_you]

She's far more difficult to anticipate than you think--- {Irene? Moriarty?] ---Woman.

[playerofgames]

Having some trouble? Moriarty suits me better, I think.

But perhaps you're nostalgic.

[i_favour_you]

No, see, that's the name of the nemesis I was promised. You lived up to the title of seductress far better.

[playerofgames]

You are really quite obsessed with the idea of having been seduced, aren't you, Sherlock.

You expect it'll help you sleep better at night, to think you were wronged rather than beaten. Rather than wondering what little things you missed that could have unraveled it all for you.

Or do you just really miss the sex?

[i_favour_you]

No, if I want sex, I can acquire significantly less experienced prostitutes easily in New York, thank you.

As for seduction---it sounds far more appropriate than simply an experiment. An experiment which lasted months in order to leave me distracted.

[playerofgames]

'Significantly less experienced prostitutes,' or a figment of your imagination. Really, astonishing options.

You should know the best experiments take time to plan. I needed a control, a baseline, before I began in earnest. And it was an illuminating experiment. It really was.

[i_favour_you]

I suppose that was a compliment.

[playerofgames]

So was not having you killed.

[i_favour_you]

It would have been far more boring for you if you had.

[playerofgames]

I'm sure I could have found an addict or three to watch claw their way out of their syringes to pass the time.

[i_favour_you]

Would you offer to make all of them whole, or was I special?

[playerofgames]

You should have just agreed to come with me, Sherlock. I'd have restored you to what you could have been, and I'd still have left the gouge marks.

[i_favour_you]

If Watson didn't diagnose you correctly, if it really were all an experiment---why would you do that?

[playerofgames]

I appreciate art.

[i_favour_you]

Even when it's damaged.

I remember.

[playerofgames]

I knew you would. Expected a different answer?

[sebastian]

[ THIS IS.... THE MOST CONFUSING... SITUATION OF HIS ENTIRE LIFE... on one hand, it's Moriarty. a Moriarty. which means he should respect her.

on the other hand, it's that bitch. which means he should not respect her. maybe oogle her tits a little. he has never been so conflicted in his entire life.

don't mind him if he's just staring with his mouth agape, trying to come up with words. give him a bit, he's a bit of a dumb puppy, this one. ]

Suppose it all depends on whether or not you plan on sticking around. [ this is so weird. ] After all, just 'cause them writers get a fixation don't much mean you'll want to be bothered with them. Maybe you'll get bored. [ and you know, leave. the less Irenes, the better. actually, the less Moriartys, the better. ]

[playerofgames]

You're not quite as articulate as the football fanatic, but you'll do, assuming you don't swallow your tongue in the process.

[She watches him struggle as someone might watch a moth struggle as its wings were carefully pried apart and ripped off, one fiber at a time.]

I may. But really, how bored could I get when there are so many interesting little versions of everyone I know running around like ants? [A smirk.] Or do you prefer wasps?

[sebastian]

I'm articulate when I want to be. Strangely enough, right now ain't one of those times. I did attend Oxford you know. [ a pause ] Briefly. Had a disagreement with a bursar. [ he threw him out a window. ]

'Interesting'. Yeah, you know, love, I wouldn't use that word, actually. Nor would I use the ant analogy, and especially not the wasp one. I'm not really a fan, you see. [ this is really uncomfortable she is really uncomfortable, and given, she's both a Moriarty and an Irene, but she's uncomfortable on top of all that. ] There's a gay version of you. Man and woman. Beardy one too. And an American. I don't know why that'd be 'interesting' to you. If anything, I'd be insulted.

[playerofgames]

I do a lot of things you wouldn't, Sebastian. It's why you're always working for me.

[She gives him what might be considered a very familiar look, the sort of look that says she knows exactly what he's thinking, that knows exactly how he's been spending his time. And also that he thinks it's incredibly bizarre to be getting that look from someone with breasts.]

Tell me, darling, which 'you' are you talking about when you say 'you'? Moriarty, or [She pauses, and it is almost eerie how she smiles at him, the look only changing subtly but becoming obviously Irene Adler.] Irene Adler?

[jimfromit]

Well you're just quite the little head turner aren't you?

[playerofgames]

Is that supposed to be a compliment?
