voicetest for somarium

[deductions]

Madam.

Things must be done decently and in order. You're barely pulling weight with that other fellow. A voice as intrinsic as mine requires much more bearing and presence then what is in your capacities. The mere thought of you playing me is a step below what is grotesque.

Dreams also hold no form of lasting stimulation and are better when rid of. Let us not dally with this decision.

The vice favored would essentially be a projection of one's mood.

The suggestion however is most interesting. Tell me, out of the two - which do you prefer?

[notquiteheartless]

That depends entirely upon the need.

One reaches a certain point where sleep is a biological imperative, and then even the strongest of stimulants can't quite clear the head. Until that point? I prefer the stimulants.

[deductions]

The only biological defect of the human body is that it requires sleep. I have always found the affair most tedious.

Perish the thought, have you taken every stimulant? It is unwise to say such things unless you've tried them all.

[notquiteheartless]

Nearly.

The most potent I've found is prescription-grade cocaine. Suppresses the appetite, negates the need to sleep, and will usually let me keep working for at least a week, if I have the supplies of it I need.

Haven't done that in quite awhile, though.

COME SHERLOCK LET'S GET HIGH. THIS IS A GOOD IDEA.

[ A week without sleep? Oh that makes him beam ]

Spectacular. As far as potency is concerned; I have begun to favor a 7% solution. You ought to give it a go, it has proven to be a most valuable resource. Although, it has not kept me awake as long as a week - the days did most certainly blur the level of stimulation however is something that needs to be praised.

I CAN THINK OF TWO PEOPLE WHO WOULD OBJECT.

[notquiteheartless]

I think that, if I were to take your suggestion, I would be another body in the morgue-- I'm quite certain my flatmate would kill me.

BUT LOOK, THE SYRINGE IS SO SHINY AND TEMPTING.

[deductions]

Oh. Now, I do wish you didn't inform me that your flatmate is the most likely suspect. That takes away any such mystery in the events that you are murdered.

[ Pouts ]

IMAGINING WHAT THE DOCTOR WOULD DO TO US IS LESS SHINY AND TEMPTING.

[notquiteheartless]

He's not quite clever enough to cover it up well. Clever enough to try, but in doing so, he'd only make himself more obvious.

I'm quite sure that if he were to kill me, it would be obvious from the moment he decided to do so.

[deductions]

An obvious murder is a dull one.

Although, that begs question of why your flatmate harbors murderous intent and what actions you have done to earn it. One ought to put a quota on bad days a flatmate is allowed to have.

[notquiteheartless]

Best ones are where they look obvious, but then there's that one detail that doesn't fit and that brings everything into a new perspective.

To your question-- My flatmate has very patiently taken away all of the stimulants and narcotics I've attempted to bring into the house. He's learned where I hide them and what quantities indicate that there are more stashed throughout the flat. Bringing more in might provoke him for the final time.
