It's perfectly reasonable to remain silent while you-- [Handwave.] Dilly about on this pointless escapade.

Regardless of the the fact I'm in your head, you could not possibly think you know enough of anything-- let alone me -- to continue this in any accurate form.

In lieu of not adhering to my request, you are met with a resounding silence.

[A pause. Because this is quite the opposite. He exhales, giving an annoyed look.]

Obviously that does not include-- [Another gesture to encompass this place.]

This.

[Her hand drops awkwardly, and she tugs her lips slightly to the side in an almost-frown.] Err...yes? What about him?

[cogitates]

What about whom, Ms. Hooper?

[wealldosillythings]

About Sherlock. Sherlock Holmes. The bloke you remind--

Wait a second. I never said his name.

..Who the hell are you?

[cogitates]

You misunderstand.

I am Sherlock Holmes.

[wealldosillythings]

Noooo.... [She shakes her head slowly, as if he's the one in the wrong.] You're mistaken. I know Sherlock Holmes, and you're not him.

[cogitates]

I can assure you, I am he.

You may be mistaken as there are two others with my name who do not have my face. [A fact he is disturbed and fascinated with.]

[wealldosillythings]

Who the bloody hell names a kid Sherlock?!

[....]

I mean, who else names a kid Sherlock- I mean, never mind, forget I said that.

This is some trippy universe thing, right? You're not a bunch of personality clones or something? [Why she's willing to buy one of those explanations and not the other is beyond even her own comprehension.]

[cogitates]

Different universe, yes. As I understand it, there are to other Sherlock Holmes. As you are not Victorian, I assume you know the other modern Sherlock.

[wealldosillythings]

Er...yeah. Although we're using the term 'modern' lightly. Sometimes it really does seem like Sherlock's from a different time. I've worked with him for a few years and he still... [frustrates] surprises me with how unique he is.

[cogitates]

Unique is a good thing. I'm sure he would think so as well.

[wealldosillythings]

Well, of course he would - he hates anything average. Thinks it's boring.

...He tends not to get along with people because of that. Since we're, y'know, all boring compared to him. Er, and you, I guess.

[cogitates]

Not everyone is boring. Just most people aren't creative or intelligent enough. [There are a few though, a few he would put in his league.]

Most people are though. And I'm sure he hates boredom as much as I.

[wealldosillythings]

Oh, absolutely. Lots of times I let him poke through cold cases or run experiments on some of the deceased to pass the time.

[cogitates]

Ah. He is like me then. I have a similar arrangement with someone down at the morgue. Do you like bees, Ms. Hooper?
