008 Roaches check in, but they don't check out.

[speterman]

I'm well excited for qudditch, it's hard not to be when your captain is Tony Stark, who is amazing by the way! We've got such a great team, it's going to be brilliant!

I'm thinking of getting a new broom, any suggestions?


[Filtered Privately to Sherlock]

I want to apologize for what happened.

Comments

[Filtered]

[speterman]

That's generally the right thing to do. But I know you're not sorry, that doesn't change my feelings.

[Filtered]

[3potionproblem]

The right thing doesn't necessarily mean that it is the smart thing. Really, you’re permitting my actions by showing that any repercussions will be nullified if I can put my opponent in a position to view me as the more vulnerable. Not exactly effective if you’re hoping I’ll learn a lesson and repent.

[Filtered]

[speterman]

Are you hoping that I want to teach you a lesson?

[Filtered]

[3potionproblem]

Good guess, but no. I'm not the sort who acts out for attention. Just making a point.

[Filtered]

[speterman]

What point were you trying to make? It seemed like pointless antagonism.

[Filtered]

[3potionproblem]

When; then or now?

Then I was pointing out that your brain was no longer functioning at acceptable levels due to a lack of sleep. Now I am pointing out that by being the ‘bigger man’ you are perpetuating behavior you find unacceptable.

[Filtered]

[speterman]

Sherlock, I don't care what you do as long as you're not hurting anyone and you leave me alone.

[Filtered]

[3potionproblem]

Well, we'll see.

[Filtered]

[speterman]

What part of that is hard to agree to?

[Filtered]

[3potionproblem]

Hard to say. Time will tell.

[Filtered]

[speterman]

I hope its the latter and not the former that you have issues with .

[Filtered]

[3potionproblem]

Well, we live together. So it's hard to say it's outside the realm of possibility.

[Filtered]

[speterman]

And I think you actually like talking to me for some morbid reason.

[Filtered]

[3potionproblem]

I rarely waste my time with something I dislike.

[Filtered]

[speterman]

You know you just admitted you like talking to me, no matter how you worded it.

[Filtered]

[3potionproblem]

Take it as you will.

[Filtered]

[speterman]

I planned on it. But I don't see you telling me I'm wasting your time.

Why in the world are you fond of talking to me? You spent a good ten minutes insulting me last time we spoke.

[Filtered]

[3potionproblem]

Have I given you a reason to think I don't insult everyone?

[Filtered]

[speterman]

I know you insult everyone but I've never seen you actively seek someone out and throw such a petty tirade.

And, generally, Sherlock, if you like someone you're not a total arse to them. Just a rule of thumb.

[Filtered]

[3potionproblem]

You said to 'make you'. Open invitation to put action to words.

And I'll assume the latter "you're" was meant as a generalized statement. It's best to use the term "one" instead. "If one likes someone, one is not a total arse to them."

[Filtered]

[speterman]

It was sarcasm and you know damn well it was.

Another rule of thumb: deflecting doesn't fool me.

Also a while back you misused a semicolon.

A semicolon is used to combine two complete thoughts; therefore, you wouldn't use one with sentence fragments.

Let's try not to be grammar police to each other. I can hold my own, even as stupid as you seem to think I am.

[Filtered]

[3potionproblem]

Well, they were two complete questions but fine. Point to Parker.

[Filtered]

[speterman]

They were still very much sentence fragments.

One again, you're deflecting.

I wouldn't think of you to be one to be shy to say something.

[Filtered]

[3potionproblem]

In regards to what?

[Filtered]

[speterman]

You being an arse to people, you knowing I was using sarcasm, and I guess saying you were deflecting.
