Sent away for two pairs of boxing gloves. Not fond of waiting. Anyone here happen to own a pair and have them on hand?

For purchase, lease, or to borrow.

You're on to me. The fact that all my life I've tried to get through contests or games honestly was all a ruse! My cunning scheme, foiled! Oh no!

[He drops the sarcasm.]

But seriously, I'm just getting a little mileage out being right. I fully expect I haven't heard the last of the Not-a-Queen chess incident.

[3potionproblem]

[Sherlock chuckles. Oh, that was choice indeed.]

Thank you for interrupting my experiment, John.

[voice]

[3houseswatson]

Really? I'm not sure if I should apologize or feel a little proud. Maybe both, cover my bases fully.

What's the experiment this time?

[voice]

[3potionproblem]

I mean before. Right now I'm just avoiding Tony. He's in rare form. Won't get off my bed.

[back to writing, then, no freebies for Tony]

[3houseswatson]

Any particular reason why he's being a personal space invader?

Besides,y'know, the whole... being Tony thing.

[3potionproblem]

He thinks I'm in

[He scribbles that out quickly]

Tony doesn't need an excuse. My side of the room is his by extension of his ego.

[3houseswatson]

What was that first bit? I didn't catch it.

That's true. I'm starting to wonder if he actually needs to eat and drink or if he gains sustenance from irritating people. Feel free to call him a wanker for me.

[3potionproblem]

Consider it done.

[Pointedly ignoring that first bit...]

[3houseswatson]

Good. I know he probably hears it all the time, but it's accurate.

[3potionproblem]

He can't hear it enough, really. Genius needs an audience but he's fine with a boo-ing crowd.

[3houseswatson]

Ah, yes, the "all attention is good attention" type. Maybe he'll grow out of it?

[3potionproblem]

He wouldn't really be Tony if he did.

[3houseswatson]

That's true. Any major change in behavior, and I'm sure I wouldn't be alone in thinking he was up to something.

[3potionproblem]

John, I love you. Can we go on a date?

[Quickl smeared though the hearts drawn around it remain.

Tony.

[3houseswatson]

[Fortunately, John missed Tony's message. But the hearts tell the whole story.]

I figured. You don't seem the type to scribble hearts into your journal. Unicorns, maybe, but certainly not hearts.

Let me guess: he's teasing and making a lot of jokes about how we ought to be dating, right?

[3potionproblem]

That would be the generalized synopsis, yes.

[3houseswatson]

I'll never understand why he's so fixated on that old joke.

[3potionproblem]

You have no idea.
