(no subject)
Once upon a time, Freshy, Jen, Kohaku, and Deb decided to watch the movie "Sherlock Holmes" together. And then we decided, why not do an IC chat of our characters' reactions to watching the movie together?
John: is that, er, Watson?
Holmes: That would be the good doctor, yes.
Irene: Is it usual for the Doctor to have a mustache? I do hope you don't feel left out, John.
John: I'll pass
Holmes: Ah, this does make me look quite adept at fighting, doesn't it.
John: nicely done
Irene: Good. (Makes you easier to kiss, John <3)
John: :D
Holmes: Irene, please. On topic, if you will.
Sherlock: please, not all of us want to read that.
Irene: (pfft)
John: ... deja-vu
Holmes: This does make one miss the good doctor, doesn't it
Sherlock: A John Watson without a jumper. Difficult to get used to the idea.
Irene: But at the same time, this is a story about overcoming the loss of him, isn't it?
Irene: ...I'd rather like to see John dressed like this.
Holmes: Irene.
John: what is it with the dog metaphor??
Holmes: I was looking for-- yes.
Irene: Yes, dear, lovely save seeing the glass *claps*
John: ... that's Lestrade?
Sherlock: ...ha.
Sherlock: Lestrade.
Holmes: Dashing, isn't he.
John: very different from the one we know
Irene: (haha)
John: wow
Irene: a very different London, isn't is.
John: very, it would be interesting to see it
Holmes: A woman's touch.
Sherlock: Very. Too many horses.
Holmes: Overreacting.
Irene: not.
Sherlock: Obviously.
John: this is so odd
John: and again I say, deja-vu
Holmes: I've no comment regarding this segment of our adventure.
Irene: Three months and you succumbed to this, dear? Oh, my.
John: oh I like other me
Irene: you are both men of very practical nature.
Sherlock: Holmes, you need a new housecoat.
Holmes: I'm rather fond of that one. Comfortable.
Irene: *chokes on tea* (no, wait, that's rl)
Holmes: Ah, the nanny.
Holmes: ...
Irene: oh, poor thing. Holmes, how could you, really.
Holmes: I can't but feel that they've taken creative liberties with how they portrayed this conversation.
John: I'd rather have a dog than a meepit
Holmes: .... (oh god no not this scene)
Irene: I have a feeling you might be saying that a lot, dear.
Holmes: Facetious of her, really.
Irene: Do you happen to have a walking stick like that, John?
John: [she looks like Sarah]
John: this won't end well
Sherlock: Borrowed jewelry.
Holmes: Obviously.
Holmes: ...Well.
Irene: Ah, well done, dear.
Sherlock: It was a fair deduction, still.
John: bit not good
Holmes: Admittedly not my finest hour.
Holmes: The wine was excellent.
Irene: and you did not even wipe your face! Such manners...
Holmes: You really do have a knack for arriving at inopportune moments, Irene.
John: nice hat :D
Irene: is that so?
Irene: Thank you!
Irene: I do rather wonder what you mean by that. 'It must not register on an emotional level' that you were spat at, or that you saw me placing a bet on you? (^.^)
Holmes: ...
Irene: (thought so)
Holmes: I was busy.
Irene: So glad that my kerchief could be of service.
Sherlock: Nicely done.
Holmes: Charming fellow, isn't he.
Irene: *sigh* There is a face that I feel that I'm seeing again too soon.
Holmes: Ah, this particular experiment. I've yet to elaborate on the matter.
Irene: *pfft*
John: ...
Sherlock: I'll have to try that.
John: I hope you mean the flies
Sherlock: Yes, the flies, John.
Irene: I'm so glad you do like the opera! Do come see me sometime!
John: I'll have to try that
Holmes: It was too small.
Irene: *GRIN*
John: well that's one problem we never have
John: haha
Sherlock: Mother hen.
Irene: thought so.
Holmes: Mm.
Irene: I could not agree more, Holmes... (a shame no one shot Blackwood at this point, or sooner)
Irene: Did you ever get his brain? XD
Sherlock: It would be interesting to dissect.
John: he's a bit of a looney
Holmes: Incidentally, no. Rather unfortunate, now that I think about it.
Holmes: Understatements, John.
Irene: *nod nod*
John: did he really wear a leather coat?
Irene: *smile smile*
Holmes: Yes, he did.
Holmes: ...Did Mrs. Hudson let you in, Irene?
Irene: *smile*
Sherlock: interesting past, Irene.
Irene: Why, thank you, sir
John: heh
Holmes: ...No comment.
Irene: [Is forever wondering what happened in the 'old room']
John: [also wondering]
Irene: None at all, dear?
Holmes: Ah, and now to place you under the uncomfortable spotlight.
Sherlock: Again, interesting.
John: who's the mystery man?
Irene: Uncomfortable? Not at all~ XD
Holmes: You'll see in time, John.
Irene: Moriarty, John.
Holmes: Irene.
John: ...oh
Irene: Sorry to ruin your fun, Holmes
Sherlock: ...ah.
Irene: Oh, the Doctor had such a good idea! I would indeed like to paddle you up the Thames!
Irene: *laughing~*
John: hope you used different glue
Holmes: Oh, do shut up, John.
Irene: Oh?
Sherlock: Now there's a dignified sight.
Holmes: I can't help but wonder if they're misrepresenting these scenes.
Irene: How so, dear?
Holmes: ...Save for this one, of course.
John: very nicely done, Irene
Sherlock: Even I'll admit that was slightly impressive.
Irene: Thank you, gentlemen!
Irene: (Only slightly, Sherlock?)
Sherlock: Only slightly.
Irene: (will remember that the next time we're in a pinch)
Sherlock: (No concern of mine)
Sherlock: Very true.
Holmes: It's true.
Irene: *nod*
Holmes: Ah, Lestrade. Ever our champion.
Irene: London's finest~
Sherlock: Some things never change, even in alternate universes.
John: Lestrade's not that bad
Irene: But not that good either~
John: well, I meant our Lestrade
John: interesting
Holmes: This really does make one miss one's companion, doesn't it
Irene: I'm sure it does.
Holmes: An apt prediction.
John: oh Holmes
Irene: *smile* The gypsy woman from just before, is it? I suppose it's not just the beer in the batter that takes you there, dear?
Sherlock: extensive warts. Creative.
Irene: *sigh* Such children.
Holmes: I've heard of such things happening.
John: he doesn't leave, does he
Irene: XD You know so well!
Irene: AH, but such an entrance!
Sherlock: The loyal doctor returns.
Holmes: Reminder to self: work on lock-picking.
Irene: *laughs~*
Holmes: I'd no doubts that the Doctor would return, in any case.
Irene: For a whole ten minutes! So generous!
Irene: I'm quite glad I didn't have to contend with such opposition on my visit to the lab.
John: and I thought the Golem was tall
Irene: More deja-vu?
Sherlock: The Golem was tall.
Irene: (hahaha, that *noise* that Holmes makes when he's thrown!)
Holmes: I'm sure you would have handled it exceedingly well, Irene. You have your ways, as I recall.
Holmes: ...Golem?
John: we'll tell you about it later
Irene: Thank you, dear.
Irene: ...And I rather look forward to that tale~
Sherlock: Effective.
John: nice job, Holmes
Irene: Clever little device, that. I wish I had one~
Holmes: Merci.
Irene: Ahhh, domage~
Irene: A valiant effort to run, dear.
John: that seems like a bad idea
Holmes: That was quite a day.
Sherlock: and you say I leave a mess, John.
Irene: I had heard about the ship being unduly launched, but dear Holmes! It is quite another thing to see how it came about!
John: you do leave a mess...just not on that scale
Holmes: Not deliberately.
Holmes: The hygiene was rather a low blow.
Irene: Ah, poor Doctor. Truly, Holmes, no wonder he wished to flee to a more routine life with a woman's touch.
Sherlock: A more boring life.
Irene: Ah, Mary is a woman of good character, isn't she.
Irene: boring, good sir, even when married.
Irene: [Is not one to talk >.>]
Holmes: Must we discuss this?
John: [has no comment]
Sherlock: You said more routine. It's the same.
Holmes: I can't help but agree.
Irene: If your routine includes adventure, it need not be boring, yes?
Sherlock: Is marriage an adventure now?
John: watch the film
Sherlock: If it is, there are better ones to be had.
Holmes: I think the rather more pressing discussion should be centered around my deductions.
Sherlock: True. I'm sure John and Irene could learn a few things from them.
Irene: *smile~*
Irene: [She is SO not one to talk... >.>]
Irene: Of course, dear. Of course.
Irene: . . . (Oh, could I?)
Holmes: ...
Irene: *grin~~*
Holmes: I think I'll go...get myself a cup of tea.
Irene: Yes, you do need to brush up those lockpicking skills, dear
Irene: *laughs~*
John: ...
Sherlock: [eye roll]
Irene: Quite all right, John?
John: fine, thank you
Holmes: [FACEPALMING...]
Irene: You really could do well to trust a woman occasionally, dear
John: were you a bit distracted, Holmes?
Holmes: No comment.
Irene: *smile~*
Sherlock: ....
John: [not laughing, really]
Holmes: [a part of Holmes is now dying inside]
Irene: (Oh, it's all right if you do, John ^^)
Irene: (It was really quite amusing)
Irene: Ah. So *that* is how you were rescued, was it?
John: [laughing now]
Holmes: She clearly overreacted.
Sherlock: [not... laughing... really, he isn't]
Holmes: [brb just... oh my god why]
Irene: (It's all right if you do, Sherlock! It really is really quite amusing, yes?)
Irene: Bath salt? Nice red herring, dear.
Holmes: The Constable-- quite an amiable character, really.
Holmes: Completely unsurprising turn of events, I should think.
Irene: Quite.
John: is it interesting seeing events you didn't observe?
Irene: Very!
Irene: Quite enlightening, yes?
Holmes: Interesting, yes-- but I eventually deduced it. It only confirms what I eventually found out.
John: well of course you did
Sherlock: They all have a flair for the dramatic.
Irene: Well now, deducing it is not quite the same as seeing the action played out before us.
Holmes: The scene is entrenched in theatrics-- even this is all a cover for the actual plan.
John: and of course you're never dramatic, Sherlock
Sherlock: Hardly.
Holmes: The facts-- I value that above these men and their fancy parlor magic, hm?
Irene: (slight eye roll in agreement)
John: I can't imagine trying to have a practice in Baker St.
Irene: No?
John: too many distractions nearby
Holmes: The Doctor can never deny a good corpse.
Sherlock: Obviously.
John: he can't resist working with Holmes
John: rugby too, interesting
Irene: The poor Doctor is indeed a masochist...
Holmes: He enjoys himself; I don't see what the problem is.
Holmes: In-over-your-head, indeed.
Irene: (...*is no one's lamb*)
Irene: Never, dear.
Sherlock: Just a bit, I think.
John: I think you left out a few details, Irene
Irene: Details~
Holmes: Did she leave this segment out? Well.
Holmes: She never gives me enough credit, anyway. I'm rather used to it.
Irene: I do thank you for this.
Sherlock: cutting it close.
Holmes: I should hope so.
Sherlock: Pun not intended.
Irene: Holmes has a flair for the dramatic.
John: ...
Holmes: ...Ah.
Irene: *wince*
Sherlock: ....
Irene: Yes, amiable indeed.
Holmes: ...Yes, he does deserve a promotion.
Irene: Not entirely a bad thing to have friends on the police force.
Holmes: Ah. Well.
Irene: I truly do not know what emotions Moriarty thought those were, dear.
Holmes: So that's why you decided to come back.
Sherlock: A very different Moriarty than what I'm used to.
Irene: Not entirely my decision.
Holmes: I'm curious as to your version, Sherlock-- but all in due time, I suppose.
Sherlock: Yes. Let's just say there's not enough Westwood.
Irene: Ah, Mary is such a perceptive woman!
John: not as much crazy
Sherlock: I'm sure there's plenty of crazy there.
John: yes, I think he would say that
Holmes: ...Always good to know.
Holmes: The details of this are fairly murky to me, admittedly.
Irene: You were quite out of it...
John: he's taller than you
Irene: (XD)
Holmes: ...Yes, yes he is, John.
Sherlock: Interesting.
John: clever
Holmes: 'Mercy'. The excuse is well-worn.
Irene: How unpleasant to have to do all your scheming in the sewers. Truly. Could they not choose someplace else?
Holmes: No one else would think of having their tea parties down there, would they?
Sherlock: a long fall.
John: I'm not sure I'd want to swim in the Thames
Irene: *I* thought it would be the *middle* window.
Irene: No, a swim there would be quite unpleasant.
Holmes: I hadn't much of a choice, did I.
John: true
Holmes: I do wish you'd been more discreet, Irene.
Irene: (I do indeed love an entrance.)
Irene: Shoot now, ask questions later.
Irene: Look at the poor Doctor, having to take care of nearly all the thugs on his own!
John: sword cane, why didn't I think of that?
Irene: You should acquire one!
Holmes: Our friend, the giant.
Irene: Mmm. I should have aimed lower.
Sherlock: graceful.
Holmes: ...No comment.
John: maybe up wasn't the best choice?
Irene: Not quite.
Irene: Ah, such a valiant fight that I missed seeing...
Sherlock: A mere mortal, after all. Though that was obvious enough.
Holmes: Too many traces left behind-- careless.
Holmes: Ah, the irony.
Irene: A fitting end.
John: very dramatic
John: ...
Holmes: ...Mm.
Irene: (mental eye-roll at that. Again)
Irene: Apologies for making you wait a whole three months, dear.
Holmes: Accepted.
John: very generous
Holmes: [eyerolls at Watson]
Sherlock: Aren't they just so very helpful
Holmes: Clearly, he doesn't appreciate the work I put into clearing his name.
John: I'm sure he does
Irene: (*shivers at the thought of this in Moriarty's hands... >.>)
Holmes: Technology which is undoubtedly archaic in your time.
Holmes: And thus I was swept away from this most promising adventure. Shame.
Sherlock: It's common enough.
Irene: *nod*
John: that was fascinating
Sherlock: I'm a little envious.
Holmes: Well, I must say that I could have dealt without the...
John: envious of what?
Holmes: ...extra scenes.
Irene: Is that so, sir?
Irene: The extra scenes, dear? (*grin*)
Holmes: Extraneous, not having to do with the cases, et cetera. But yes, what of the envy?
Sherlock: Envious of Holmes having such an exciting case, John.
Sherlock: I bet he was anything but bored.
Irene: (Ah. Of course.)
John: I think ours were exciting enough
Irene: I do look forward to seeing them!
Sherlock: They were, I suppose.
Holmes: As do I, though I wager that the modern setting will be fascinating enough on its own.
John: ah, well, I suppose that's only fair
Sherlock: I have no problem with sharing them.
Irene: (*grin*) Quite so.
John: I imagine you'd be interested in Moriarty, Holmes?
Holmes: Most definitely. Sinister, is he?
Sherlock: yes.
John: that's one word for it
Sherlock: Clever is another.
John: a complete nutter would also work
Holmes: I must say that I'm envious that you've met the fellow.
Irene: ... Sounds quite different from the one I know.
John: should we plan another evening then?
Irene: Absolutely.
Holmes: I've no objections.
Sherlock: No reason not to.
John: is that, er, Watson?
Holmes: That would be the good doctor, yes.
Irene: Is it usual for the Doctor to have a mustache? I do hope you don't feel left out, John.
John: I'll pass
Holmes: Ah, this does make me look quite adept at fighting, doesn't it.
John: nicely done
Irene: Good. (Makes you easier to kiss, John <3)
John: :D
Holmes: Irene, please. On topic, if you will.
Sherlock: please, not all of us want to read that.
Irene: (pfft)
John: ... deja-vu
Holmes: This does make one miss the good doctor, doesn't it
Sherlock: A John Watson without a jumper. Difficult to get used to the idea.
Irene: But at the same time, this is a story about overcoming the loss of him, isn't it?
Irene: ...I'd rather like to see John dressed like this.
Holmes: Irene.
John: what is it with the dog metaphor??
Holmes: I was looking for-- yes.
Irene: Yes, dear, lovely save seeing the glass *claps*
John: ... that's Lestrade?
Sherlock: ...ha.
Sherlock: Lestrade.
Holmes: Dashing, isn't he.
John: very different from the one we know
Irene: (haha)
John: wow
Irene: a very different London, isn't is.
John: very, it would be interesting to see it
Holmes: A woman's touch.
Sherlock: Very. Too many horses.
Holmes: Overreacting.
Irene: not.
Sherlock: Obviously.
John: this is so odd
John: and again I say, deja-vu
Holmes: I've no comment regarding this segment of our adventure.
Irene: Three months and you succumbed to this, dear? Oh, my.
John: oh I like other me
Irene: you are both men of very practical nature.
Sherlock: Holmes, you need a new housecoat.
Holmes: I'm rather fond of that one. Comfortable.
Irene: *chokes on tea* (no, wait, that's rl)
Holmes: Ah, the nanny.
Holmes: ...
Irene: oh, poor thing. Holmes, how could you, really.
Holmes: I can't but feel that they've taken creative liberties with how they portrayed this conversation.
John: I'd rather have a dog than a meepit
Holmes: .... (oh god no not this scene)
Irene: I have a feeling you might be saying that a lot, dear.
Holmes: Facetious of her, really.
Irene: Do you happen to have a walking stick like that, John?
John: [she looks like Sarah]
John: this won't end well
Sherlock: Borrowed jewelry.
Holmes: Obviously.
Holmes: ...Well.
Irene: Ah, well done, dear.
Sherlock: It was a fair deduction, still.
John: bit not good
Holmes: Admittedly not my finest hour.
Holmes: The wine was excellent.
Irene: and you did not even wipe your face! Such manners...
Holmes: You really do have a knack for arriving at inopportune moments, Irene.
John: nice hat :D
Irene: is that so?
Irene: Thank you!
Irene: I do rather wonder what you mean by that. 'It must not register on an emotional level' that you were spat at, or that you saw me placing a bet on you? (^.^)
Holmes: ...
Irene: (thought so)
Holmes: I was busy.
Irene: So glad that my kerchief could be of service.
Sherlock: Nicely done.
Holmes: Charming fellow, isn't he.
Irene: *sigh* There is a face that I feel that I'm seeing again too soon.
Holmes: Ah, this particular experiment. I've yet to elaborate on the matter.
Irene: *pfft*
John: ...
Sherlock: I'll have to try that.
John: I hope you mean the flies
Sherlock: Yes, the flies, John.
Irene: I'm so glad you do like the opera! Do come see me sometime!
John: I'll have to try that
Holmes: It was too small.
Irene: *GRIN*
John: well that's one problem we never have
John: haha
Sherlock: Mother hen.
Irene: thought so.
Holmes: Mm.
Irene: I could not agree more, Holmes... (a shame no one shot Blackwood at this point, or sooner)
Irene: Did you ever get his brain? XD

Irene: *laughing~*
John: hope you used different glue
Holmes: Oh, do shut up, John.
Irene: Oh?
Sherlock: Now there's a dignified sight.
Holmes: I can't help but wonder if they're misrepresenting these scenes.
Irene: How so, dear?
Holmes: ...Save for this one, of course.
John: very nicely done, Irene

Irene: London's finest~
Sherlock: Some things never change, even in alternate universes.
John: Lestrade's not that bad
Irene: But not that good either~
John: well, I meant our Lestrade
John: interesting
Holmes: This really does make one miss one's companion, doesn't it
Irene: I'm sure it does.
Holmes: An apt prediction.
John: oh Holmes
Irene: *smile* The gypsy woman from just before, is it? I suppose it's not just the beer in the batter that takes you there, dear?
Sherlock: extensive warts. Creative.
Irene: *sigh* Such children.
Holmes: I've heard of such things happening.
John: he doesn't leave, does he
Irene: XD You know so well!
Irene: AH, but such an entrance!

Holmes: The Constable-- quite an amiable character, really.
Holmes: Completely unsurprising turn of events, I should think.
Irene: Quite.

Irene: (slight eye roll in agreement)
John: I can't imagine trying to have a practice in Baker St.
Irene: No?
John: too many distractions nearby
Holmes: The Doctor can never deny a good corpse.
Sherlock: Obviously.
John: he can't resist working with Holmes
John: rugby too, interesting
Irene: The poor Doctor is indeed a masochist...
Holmes: He enjoys himself; I don't see what the problem is.
Holmes: In-over-your-head, indeed.
Irene: (...*is no one's lamb*)
Irene: Never, dear.

Irene: Shoot now, ask questions later.
Irene: Look at the poor Doctor, having to take care of nearly all the thugs on his own!
John: sword cane, why didn't I think of that?
Irene: You should acquire one!
Holmes: Our friend, the giant.
Irene: Mmm. I should have aimed lower.
Sherlock: graceful.
Holmes: ...No comment.
John: maybe up wasn't the best choice?
Irene: Not quite.
Irene: Ah, such a valiant fight that I missed seeing...
Sherlock: A mere mortal, after all. Though that was obvious enough.
Holmes: Too many traces left behind-- careless.
Holmes: Ah, the irony.
Irene: A fitting end.
John: very dramatic
John: ...
Holmes: ...Mm.
Irene: (mental eye-roll at that. Again)
Irene: Apologies for making you wait a whole three months, dear.
Holmes: Accepted.
John: very generous
Holmes: [eyerolls at Watson]
Sherlock: Aren't they just so very helpful
Holmes: Clearly, he doesn't appreciate the work I put into clearing his name.
John: I'm sure he does
Irene: (*shivers at the thought of this in Moriarty's hands... >.>)
Holmes: Technology which is undoubtedly archaic in your time.
Holmes: And thus I was swept away from this most promising adventure. Shame.
Sherlock: It's common enough.
Irene: *nod*
John: that was fascinating
Sherlock: I'm a little envious.
Holmes: Well, I must say that I could have dealt without the...
John: envious of what?
Holmes: ...extra scenes.
Irene: Is that so, sir?
Irene: The extra scenes, dear? (*grin*)
Holmes: Extraneous, not having to do with the cases, et cetera. But yes, what of the envy?
Sherlock: Envious of Holmes having such an exciting case, John.
Sherlock: I bet he was anything but bored.
Irene: (Ah. Of course.)
John: I think ours were exciting enough
Irene: I do look forward to seeing them!
Sherlock: They were, I suppose.
Holmes: As do I, though I wager that the modern setting will be fascinating enough on its own.
John: ah, well, I suppose that's only fair
Sherlock: I have no problem with sharing them.
Irene: (*grin*) Quite so.
John: I imagine you'd be interested in Moriarty, Holmes?
Holmes: Most definitely. Sinister, is he?
Sherlock: yes.
John: that's one word for it
Sherlock: Clever is another.
John: a complete nutter would also work
Holmes: I must say that I'm envious that you've met the fellow.
Irene: ... Sounds quite different from the one I know.
John: should we plan another evening then?
Irene: Absolutely.
Holmes: I've no objections.
Sherlock: No reason not to.
