• 03:36:32: @deepestsilence time, all "air of propriety" and "decrease suspicions" and similar rot. Your great plan to keep us out of Reading Gaol.
  
• 03:37:08: @deepestsilence Tis okay. Sort of feels like DW--I didn't want to watch it because I didn't want it to be over. D;
  
• 03:37:41: @deepestsilence But I'm DLing a bunch of just hidden object/puzzle type Sherlock Holmes games we can play with eventually (slow going).
  
• 03:39:15: @deepestsilence Yeah. I've no idea what happened in the actual ep bc RTD is a dick, but 15/ the last 20min were him saying goodbye to evry1.
  
• 03:39:57: @deepestsilence In your cheeks? That's odd. Did they have to go through them to get to the teeth for some reason? (Odd, but maybe?)
  
• 03:43:22: @deepestsilence LOLOL, no, I assumed on the insides. Maybe they can go there to get to teeth, and cheek cuts heal better than other option?
  
• 03:47:44: @deepestsilence That was the other thing I thought it might be--w/ my transplant, I was split like a woman giving birth sans episiotomy.
  
• 03:49:16: @deepestsilence Let them! As long as neither of us plans on seducing sons of Lords & then suing their fathers for libel, we oughtn't worry.
  
• 03:50:00: @deepestsilence Though, daughters of Lords and we may find ourselves with a problem if you decide to move up in the world re your conquests.
  
• 03:52:57: @deepestsilence . . . no? Idk. Which one? I'm just playing. Chances are I did, but have just forgotten.
  
• 03:57:13: @deepestsilence & are you going to... *hisses* sleep with her? You say you believe she understands, & is involved bc it's convenient for her
  
• 03:57:38: @deepestsilence but you won't deny you cut a fine figure, and by law she would have rights. How am I to sleep knowing not only are you not
  
• 03:57:51: @deepestsilence in my bed, but you're warming hers?
  
• 03:59:40: @deepestsilence Don't be silly, man. Of course. That necklace of her mistress' was obviously taken off of the woman's own neck to be clasped
  
• 04:00:15: @deepestsilence on your Mary's, indicating they were much closer than a normal working relationship. But look at me and deny that it is
  
• 04:00:41: @deepestsilence possible for a person to be attracted in the way of both persuasions.
  
• 04:01:17: @deepestsilence (That whole necklace thing? Straight out of the fic I've been working on, if you end up seeing it again later. xD)
  
• 04:03:26: @deepestsilence (Also? Calibri 11, we just filled page 13. Wasn't sure I was going to put in the fighty bit @1st, but just so we have it.)
  
• 04:07:38: @deepestsilence *sighs wearily* Is this going to work, Watson? Is it worth the inevitable inconvenience and, more importantly, time apart?
  
• 04:11:58: @deepestsilence An extended engagement *would* allow you to remain at 221b under pretenses of protecting the girl's morality--Remain w/ me.
  
• 04:15:43: @deepestsilence Yeah? All but maybe 10 of the ppl following me are fake, but it's not like they ever message/@ me, so I just leave it.
  
• 04:18:10: @deepestsilence Then forgive a man his shortcomings, John. It isn't my nature to trust easily, and though you I readily do, Mary I do not.
  
• 04:22:55: @deepestsilence (HAHAHAHA. Similar to *that* is in the same aforementioned never-to-be-finished story I'm writing. We have one brain.)
  
• 04:23:16: @deepestsilence (Which may explain how if you add our organic chem grades together, you almost get one decent one.)
  
• 04:24:04: @deepestsilence Oh, come, Watson. You would begrudge a mind plagued with ennui its hobbies?
  
• 04:26:58: @deepestsilence Let us proceed for the moment on the assumption that I do not. Care to enlighten me, oh Doctor Watson?
  
• 04:28:44: @deepestsilence Read Reunion? http://bit.ly/6UHG9A I'm not usually crazy about "W plagued by morality resists teh gay", but resolved well.
  
• 04:29:33: @deepestsilence Also, whole thing makes my heart hurt a little until the end. 1 line that stuck with me (and I'm more or less paraphrasing):
  
• 04:30:37: @deepestsilence No, do not say it yet. Let us go upstairs & have a cigar 1st. Grant me another hr of happiness b4 you break my ♥, all right?
  
• 04:34:17: @deepestsilence (Ran out of characters for quotes. Was line that stuck with me from Reunion, LOL.)
  
• 04:34:51: @deepestsilence But it does sort of sound like my writing, especially for him, which is I think why I liked that line.
  
• 04:36:27: GAH. Hate how even when I hit the Twitter button to refresh it, sometimes new tweets don't show up until they're well down the stream.
  
• 04:36:59: @deepestsilence So verdict is definitely don't get this tooth shit done, then, y/y?
  
• 04:40:01: @deepestsilence And why not, Watson? Surely you weren't considering suggesting a considerably more illegal habit to supplant my perfectly
  
• 04:40:23: @deepestsilence legitimate seven per-cent solution, were you?
  
• 04:44:07: @deepestsilence I call myself no expert, but I do not believe any man has been convicted under Labouchere for solo buggery.
  
• 04:45:33: @deepestsilence Don't remember reading this part of the Torchwood website--prolly wasn't still up when I discovered it. http://bit.ly/73XKVB
  
• 04:49:11: @deepestsilence Exactly. Would be quite implausible to turn you in for buggering me senseless and expect to remain free myself.
  
• 04:51:21: @deepestsilence Ooh, troll the entire archived site. Lots of good stuff.
  
• 04:59:14: @deepestsilence (HAHAHA, Owen's file of notes from babes includes one reading: "You! Where did you learn that bedside manner? lol x jason")
  
• 05:58:47: @deepestsilence Cake is a solid food. The cake is a lie. Ability to eat solid foods is therefore a lie. Logicmuffin strikes again!
  
• 06:17:45: @deepestsilence So did I, but parents are dumb and stored them in a container that makes them taste like container. Consider yourself lucky.
  
• 06:18:30: @deepestsilence Also, you should attend to your interview of the child, Watson. If it helps, I appear to have found her stuffed bear.
  
• 06:29:49: @deepestsilence Ignore it if I broke your brain.
  
• 06:35:38: @deepestsilence . . . sorry? Just was perfect example of exactly my reasoning in, you know, swearing off sex. Only forever, pretty much.
  
• 06:36:13: @deepestsilence I deleted them just in case that helps you pretend that never happened. xD
  
• 06:39:42: @deepestsilence Yup--even worse: a bit before. The first time, bc I felt this pop in the back of my head, I swore I'd burst an aneurysm.
  
• 06:43:06: Aww. My Holmes and Watson sims want to have a baby. Because this is virtually impossible in the real fandom, it's somehow cuter.
  
• 06:44:46: @deepestsilence Yup. I've been told that you can get beta blocker meds, but, you know, I don't care that much to plan ahead like that.
  
• 06:45:17: @deepestsilence LOLOL, going by that statement re equipment for sex, if I ever start dating a guy I'd be knocked up inside a week.
  
• 06:48:30: @deepestsilence No, they're not working! So they want to have a baby, and it says "have", but I can't! Also, my fridge prob is back :(
  
• 06:51:44: @deepestsilence I need to put on the WA patch (for the fridge at least) but since I have the no-cd EXE rather than the real EXE, it won't.
  
• 06:52:16: @deepestsilence I have to get the real EXE off of my HDD, which is all the way upstairs. Fridge prob is the worst, though, because it's $$$.
  
• 06:53:42: Yesterday, I was asleep by 3am and was so proud of myself. Then, I was crazytired for some reason and took a nap that eve. Halloa, 6am.
  
• 07:02:12: @deepestsilence Sounds good. I've terrible backaches lately, so lying (is the most fun?) down has been my posish of choice hoping I'll tire.
  
• 07:07:27: Was eating chocolate that crumbled--shifted positions & I've melted the spare bits into stains on my blue sheets that look like idk what. :\
  
• 07:08:19: Lovely. Looks like I've been having wild, messy sex all over my bed. You know when I washed these? GODDAMNED YESTERDAY.
  
• 07:10:47: @deepestsilence True. True. (Hee, if that's the criterion, my H/W porny bit can certainly be called wild. xD)
  
• 07:13:31: @deepestsilence Since it's half yours, you must send me ideas. I stalled on it this am and switched to my Children of Earth/End of Time fic.
  
• 07:13:53: @deepestsilence I'm feeling so freaking prolific lately re: fic, it's awesome. Not actually finishing anything, but all the same.
  
• 07:16:08: @deepestsilence LOLOL. No, Colton. Their love is epic and real and buttsecks worthy.
  
• 07:20:16: @deepestsilence Heyback. Q: If 2ppl holding handsish, just sort of linking the tips of their fingers at the 2nd knuckle, how to describe?
  
• 07:21:25: @deepestsilence Like pulling someone you don't know well through a crowded bar or...almost not able to hold some1 above a cliff anymore.
  
• 07:21:39: @deepestsilence (The first sitch being obvs the one I'm actually writing.)
  
• 07:23:42: @deepestsilence I know. "linking the tips of his fingers with the pilot to lead him out of the bar" is what I have--worksish?
  
• 07:24:41: @deepestsilence I fear that sounds more like interlocking digits at the tips rather than the. . . (risen, y/y?) mitten grabbing I'm meaning.
  
• 07:32:19: @deepestsilence Mmm. Yes. Gracias.
  
• 07:33:02: @deepestsilence SO happy with this one thus far because I think if I keep on the way I am, I might actually finish it. What's going to kill
  
• 07:33:47: @deepestsilence me is that I'm going to want to go on and explain how things happened and dampen the emotion rather than just leaving it
  
• 07:34:10: @deepestsilence all mushy and happy and awesome when I bring back Ianto.
  
• 07:48:39: @deepestsilence Well, they would have been good explanations. Like I said, facilitating his self destruction via booze and buttsecks was a
  
• 07:49:13: @deepestsilence shitty going away present from the Doctor, so I'm rewriting the scene and he's going to (off screen) go grab I and bring him
  
• 07:49:58: @deepestsilence back to Jack! But in ep, there's magicalhealingstuffs (poss Risen mitten 3, poss magic sickbaything also used) so could be a
  
• 07:50:38: @deepestsilence quick "Yeah, woke up on planet of green cacti with Dr standing over me" &/or "Time lord mitten of win."
  
• 07:51:26: @deepestsilence I don't want to RTD it and not explain anything, but it feels better (& more true to the scene) for Ianto to show up and
  
• 07:52:26: @deepestsilence it just end with a kiss. So got to work in the 'splanation + keep the emotions high. Might know how to do that. We will see.
  
• 07:56:51: @deepestsilence Thought that as well, one more from the Doctor's side. Shall write it in now (or later, more like) just to have it down
  
• 07:57:24: @deepestsilence but play with it once I've got things more worked out. I have to rein in how much I want J and The Doctor to chat, too, bc
  
• 07:58:42: @deepestsilence Doctor's time is limited (already holding off the regen by now) & he's got extra errands by picking up & fixing Ianto.
  
• 07:59:15: @deepestsilence But I'm less planned out on how that convo's exactly going to play, so that could either be good or bad in keeping it short.
  
• 08:03:06: @deepestsilence Drugs not working in the knocking you out?
  
• 08:05:51: @deepestsilence Fuzzy, LOL. *pets* News on the cat, speaking of?
  
• 08:08:33: @deepestsilence Neat. Pics then! Make sure it plays nice with Ianto. I just about died when Steve and 15 fought over food yesterday and
  
• 08:09:10: @deepestsilence Steve bit her right on the eyelid. I mean, I wanted to cry, because that's both my animals and my eye phobia.
  
• 08:11:24: @deepestsilence Really? I thought FIV was closer to HIV and was just blood (fighting) and sex. Cool.
  
• 12:00:36: Woken up by Mom. Was going to be pissed, but turns out she happened upon the ep of Sherlock Holmes w/teenager!Jude Law on Netflix. Forgiven!
  
• 12:34:26: Dad brought home pinky mice for my lizards. Normally, no prob bc my lizards>>> random mice, but 15 ate hers from the back, so it squealed D:
  
• 12:38:00: @deepestsilence I know. I'd actually fed Steve last night--playing w/ him at dinner, and he was all "What is this? Is this food? I can has?"
  
• 12:38:35: @deepestsilence So he got some steak, & he's also never had mice before (only now getting big enough), so he wasn't eating his right away.
  
• 12:39:27: @deepestsilence & his mouse flailed there being all *fishmouth* & I had to keep poking him in its direction bc he didn't get that twas food.
  
• 12:40:02: Hilarity, though, in that I think Steve licked the entire length of the thing after prodding it for several min before deciding it was food.
  
• 12:41:05: I made sure his was oriented so he'd grab it from the head, because 15's was painful to listen to. They're too cute to use as food often.
  
• 13:04:17: My top five favorite poetic devices of all time are repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, and plagiarism. (/true, but plagiarized)
  
• 22:57:30: @deepestsilence Yay! Mouth healed enough to greet him verbally?
  
• 23:00:01: @captainsharmie O DAMN. I'd just voted for both NPH and John to make sure, whatever order, they were 1&2. Now it's going to be 1,2,&3.

A review of the www.221b.sh Sherlock Holmes tie-in webgame.

You may have been bothered by the increase in Tweeting lately copied over to my LJ, most of which probably made no sense. They were bleakone and I going to town on this game and peppering up the normal, required discussion between partners with. . . you know, normal required discussion between partners. Because that's totes how these two roll, no lies. Anyway, I'm planning to clean that up and turn it into some kind of post at some point--though ficcing the entire thing would be far too much effort (it covers some 4 months-ish of character time), adding in basic annotations to explain what's happening in the case so people can lolz at our ability to sex it up Victorian England murder scenes is hardly out of the question.

But a review of the game itself (copypasted from a site that I posted it on, which is why the beginning is exactly what I've explained above):

As someone who totally missed this until after seeing the movie, I still found it an incredible bit of fun to play all the way though. I wish they had enumerated the reputation levels at the beginning, however, as I would have bet higher earlier on had I known that there is a jump from 30,000’s “Unquestionable” to 100,000 for “World Famous”. I spent a not-inconsiderable amount of time playing through the entire thing–it took me about a week, I think, but my Watson and I were more or less role-playing via Twitter the entire time to accompany our gameplay, which probably slowed us down a bit.

Communication is definitely necessary, as the game often states–there is information perhaps not vital, but definitely helpful that is only relayed to the interviewing character and not recorded in the case notes, so one’s partner is not privy to it without direct tête-à-tête between a Holmes and his Watson. Based on what I’ve seen, playing as Holmes, I feel like Watson had a harder time of it and often more to do per chapter, to be honest–the interview segments were mostly Watson’s purview, and unlike the “chase somebody” or “sneak around and pick locks” segments, information is required prior to success in these, often information from one’s partner’s casefile.

Anyway, to quash my inherent verbosity and leave you with a summary of my opinion, A++ WOULD WILL PLAY AGAIN. I’m interested to try my hand at the interview segments of Watson’s (though I know all the deductions, I don’t know exactly what my partner had to ask in these tasks), though I’ll probably wait until right before the DVD comes out so I don’t remember *all* the answers. Hopefully, it will still be around for a while to come. I really hope they find some way to incorporate it on the DVD itself, because though this doesn't have multiple outcomes/tasks, so when you know the answers you know the answers, it really does directly correspond to the beginning of the movie--all this work is to track down the murderer that we find Watson and Holmes hot on the trail of during the opening scene of the film. This much backstory, richly interwoven with not-easy puzzles and awesome movie cut-scenes, should not be lost to the internets.
