IC Perspective: John Watson

[3houseswatson]

Character: John Watson (BBC Sherlock)
Mun: Katie/rosenritter
Plot specific: Nah - just set during the current event


Seems whatever's going around has got people split up into two camps: those who are really put out and those who are having a pretty good time of it. Haven't seen much in the way of a middle ground.

My condolences to everyone who's having a hard time, but you can count me in with the people who're a fair bit chuffed by all this. My limp's barely bothered me all day. Shame it probably won't last.

[ooc: the strike-through is rather vigorously covered up, but the very sensitive and/or nosy can probably hack it]

One of my friends became a hot girl, and my other friend got older and hot.

I think that I'm having one of the better scenarios at the moment... Even though one of them's blaming me for it...

[3houseswatson]

... well, I'm sensing a bit of a pattern there.

Dare I ask which one you're getting the blame for?

[arrogantalloy]

Hey, I had nothing to do with the second one. Although she is currently wearing my clothes.

Honestly, I got blamed for both. But I think I'm only responsible for the first one.

And that sounded like you didn't think it was a good pattern.

[3houseswatson]

I'd love to know what you did to make you responsible for that, and not just so I can make sure it doesn't happen to me. Though that is a lot of it.

It's probably not the best pattern when at least one of your friends finds themselves as the opposite sex, no. How'd you like to wake up as a Tonya instead of a Tony?

[jeet]

I am not sure how I feel about what has happened to me. But I am glad about your limp.

[3houseswatson]

Thanks. What's happened to you, then?

1/2

[jeet]

It is my rat. You see he [inkblots, as if there was a struggle for the quill.]

[ratbastard]

'Jeet here's just having trouble getting used to me being able to speak English.

[3houseswatson]

[Here, have a few lines of blank parchment. That is the only way to convey the pause John's brain needs to deal with this.]

So... Talking rat. Okay.

[di_intraining]

I'm with you on this. My homework's gone and done itself, so I've got spare time on my hands to polish my broom.

[3houseswatson]

That's convenient. Hopefully whatever this is did a good job with it. But you still might want to check the answers and make sure they aren't all about 18th century whaling practices or something.

Speaking of brooms, how's being captain going for you?

[di_intraining]

I skimmed through it and it seemed alright, but I'll have a second look at it, just in case. Thanks John.

Alright I guess. It's nothing fancy, just organizing practices and making sure everyone turns up. The team's been great though. We're not lacking in enthusiasm for Quidditch, and it helps that most of us have been playing together for at least a year, we're familiar with each other's playing styles.

[northernbullet]

Well, you'll get no complaints from me. No sir. I've had three different people come up to me and ask about the relative merits of Miles Davis and the Soul Rebels Brass Band. This school's finally coming to its musical senses and I'm going to appreciate every minute of it.

And I have an unlimited supply of chocolate biscuits. There's no bringing me down today.

[3houseswatson]

I've only got a vague idea who they are and only because I've heard my granddad mention Miles Davis. Still, cheers.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

I don't know if I'm annoyed with suddenly being an adult or not anymore.

[3houseswatson]

Let me guess. You're one of the ones that got hit by Tony's heat-seeking id.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Yeah, but he knows when to shut his mouth around me.

Anything happen to you?

[3potionproblem]

Barely? You didn't manage to make it disappear entirely?

[3houseswatson]

I didn't manage anything. I just woke up like this.

And I'm not surprised it's still there. It's all in my head, right? Last I checked, my head's still attached to the rest of me.

[3potionproblem]

So your mind can conceive of a magic capable of changing gender and species limitations but still can't accept a body that does not limp?

You're a bit useless, Watson.

[the_confuser]

No arguments here, it's completely BRILLIANT. Have you seen how high my boots are?

[3houseswatson]

No, I haven't. But now you've got me morbidly curious. Where do they end?

[the_confuser]

At the floor, you cheeky monkey. ;) I think I've added at least a foot to me height, though!

[speterman]

Yeah, some pretty weird stuff has been happening.

[3houseswatson]

No kidding. I'm just glad the whole spontaneous gender-switching thing seems localized to only a few people.

Has anything odd happened to you?
