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]

What makes you so confident that a person's mind's got anything to do with this? It could be... I don't know, a luck charm gone wonky. Some get the good, some get the bad.

And besides, I don't hear you crowing on about whatever world-shatteringly phenomenal thing that's happened to you. If this were mental, you'd be the first one showing off.

[3potionproblem]

Except that most of the things that have happened aren't by nature 'good' or 'bad' but simply bizarre. And even the 'bad' were 'good' to some above more than simple schadenfreude.

And I was specifically targeting your mind. Your psychosomatic limp is rather ridiculously stubborn. Since when do aliments mimic the man?

I haven't been showing off whatever oddities might have occurred that specifically affect me as there have been none.

[3houseswatson]

I suppose you've got a point about the luck thing. I'll grant you that.

And as for my limp, I don't know. I don't know why it's only slightly better when things that are far more spectacular than the full healing of one nobody's irrationally bad leg are happening to other people. If I knew, I wouldn't need a cane, would I?

Really? Not a single thing's changed for you?

[3potionproblem]

The peopel around me are fluctuating more in the degree of their annoyance but that's all.

[3houseswatson]

I'm sorry that all people who are going through severe changes in their lives are annoying you. It must be such an inconvenience.

[3potionproblem]

Thank you, yes. Most people seem to be content ignoring that fact.

[3houseswatson]

I don't think I'll ever stop being amazed when basic sarcasm sails right over your head.

[3potionproblem]

I prefer your sympathies to your sarcasm. Surely I can't be the only one to find this tedious.

[3houseswatson]

I'm sure it's tedious for the people who've woken up to find their parts jumbled up, or people like you who've had nothing happen to them and only have to watch others react dramatically.

But you're talking to someone who can almost walk properly for the first time in over a year. My sympathies are a little preoccupied today.

[3potionproblem]

You know, you'd almost be promising if you weren't so dead set on being broken.

[3houseswatson]

Thanks for the ringing endorsement.

Same to you, only replace 'broken' with 'an annoying prick'.

[3potionproblem]

Sarcasm?

[3houseswatson]

Just the first bit.

[3potionproblem]

Ah. Well, hardly the first time someone's called me that. I almost expect better from you, really. Something a bit more... rustic.

[3houseswatson]

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities for me to come up with creative things to call you when you're being an arse.

And before you ask, no - not sarcasm. I mean every word of that.

[3potionproblem]

You wish for us to discuss things on a more reoccurring schedule? Well, I'm generally rather busy but I'll keep that in mind when I have a minute or two to spare.

[3houseswatson]

I meant that I'm sure there's no shortage of times wherein you act as if you're running for the Prat of the Year Award.

You actually schedule discussions with other people?

[3potionproblem]

A discussion generally implies the participation of the other party. I usually schedule times for quiet observation and the occasional deductive ejaculation.

I would think times of actual interaction would need to be scheduled the same as class times and the like.
