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]

Thanks. What's happened to you, then?

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.

[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]

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.

[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?

[ratbastard]

Well, I can't speak for all rats, but this rat will admit to loving cheese...

Just as much as any other food he can get his hands on.
