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...

[jeet]

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

[3houseswatson]

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

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

[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.

[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]

[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.

[ratbastard]

Talking, writing, trying to get more food, and discussing the finer points of potion-making. Don't tell me you're going to make a big deal out of this, too.

[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?

[3houseswatson]

Ah, no, it's fine. Just not, well, terribly usual. Didn't mean to sound... speciesist, I guess.

[ratbastard]

Well, you kinda did. So be careful next time.

I guess it is pretty weird, so I'll let you off for now.

[3houseswatson]

I'll make sure to treat all talking rats I meet in the future with utmost respect.

[ratbastard]

There's a good boy.

[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?

[3houseswatson]

So...

Just curious, but does the whole "rats love cheese" thing have any truth to it, or is it just a load of rubbish?

[arrogantalloy]

I accused him of being a girl.

Well for a start I'd probably spell it Toni. It's got a better sound to it over Tonya.

[3houseswatson]

And then he was one. Bit on-the-nose, that.

Let me guess: with a little heart over the 'i'.

[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.

[3houseswatson]

No problem, Greg. It's just probably best to not be completely trusting of stuff like this when it blows in.

That's good! I know you've got it in you to be a great leader, so I'm sure you'll do just fine.

[di_intraining]

Yeah, some things are just too good to be true. This herbology homework is just killing me though! Professor Vargas doesn't cut us any slack at all, 30 inches on a bloody plant!

Really? I never thought of myself as the leader type. I prefer following orders then giving them out.

[arrogantalloy]

Hey, I'm just saying what happened as I saw it. Let's remember this is a school for magic. I've seen talking goats today, who were disturbingly verbose.

Naturally, let's not forget the pastel pink ink so everyone knows I'm a girl. And the tee hee's. I've notice some girls tee hee.

[3houseswatson]

God, the goats are at it too? And here I thought the rat I just had a conversation with was novel.

You understand women so well, Tony. You ought to write a book.

[arrogantalloy]

You spoke to a rat? Well that's very... Pixar.

Not a good plan. Tried it before. Natasha found out about it and stole the note book I was using.
