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]

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.

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.

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.

[3houseswatson]

30 inches seems a bit excessive, yeah. Unless it's incredibly versatile, I can only see writing half that before you get to the point where you're crossing out, "It's a bloody plant, what more do you want me to say?" and hoping the prof doesn't spot it.

Well, you've got a pretty level head and you're a decent bloke. You don't always have to be a hot-headed maniac to have people follow you. Besides, if you ask me, really good leaders know how to take directions - not just give them out.
