HOLMES

WHAT DID YOU DO TO THOSE FLOWERS I BOUGHT THIS AFTERNOON.

[neverstagnate]

[Have an extremely long time between when this was written and a few chemical stains before Holmes replies.]

...Judging by your emphasis, those were not meant for purely decorational purposes after all.

[nevercomplain]

NO

[neverstagnate]

I see. Well, they have made for some rather fascinating research.

[Another pause.]

What was the intent of their use, exactly? [Does he know? He might. It can't be said for sure.]

[nevercomplain]

And I'm happy for you, Holmes.

[Watson gets pretty catty when he's testy.]

They were for...someone.

[awesome247365]

What'd he do?

[nevercomplain]

He decided to test on some flower that I had bought for...

Well, that I had bought with some meaning.

[awesome247365]

So he destroyed some flowers that you bought for a dame? Had that happen before.

[nevercomplain]

What--

Well, I'm sure whoever did it to you didn't drop them into a vat of chemicals.

1/2

[Bridget recognizes John's handwriting and lets the story unfold before replying. When he mentions theater and Broadway, she smiles privately. She had a show that day. Finally, she decides to reveal herself.]

Oh my, John. Is everything okay?

FFFF

[nevercomplain]

Oh, yes, everything's fine. Just my roommate being...my roommate.

You performed wonderfully tonight, by the way.

And moving on from the 1/2 fail that shouldn't have been there...

[notmatahari]

That would be Mr. Holmes, yes? I've spoken to him. He seems [pause] like a man very dedicated to his work.

Oh John, I'm flattered. Thank you.

And for the record, you don't need flowers to come and say hello. I very much appreciate the thought, however.

[nevercomplain]

Yes, Sherlock Holmes. And you're welcome.

And [pause] well, [another pause] I wanted to.
