it's almost christmas! how does it feel to be approaching the holidays when nightfall is approaching so quickly? make sure to spend your time wisely, because you might not be here next year you might be three meters underground!

juuuuuuust kidding! but it's a fun thought, isn't it? people celebrating and putting their holiday lights up, almost as if trying to make us unaware of what is coming. they might as well be trying to brainwash us, huh?

i really hope i can buy some new video games-- what are you guys planning?

THAT IS SO COOL WHERE DO I GET ONE

[alreadyhuman]

that sounds a lot like the outlands...thats really sad though (｡•́︿•̀｡) people dying at sea i mean. it sounds like itd be lonely and scary...

i didnt have the internet til recently so im learning a lot!! but ill look up stuff when i have spare time!!

what myths should i look at? theres a lot of them right?

[nor_iron_bars]

my plan is p much "the same reckless bullshit i do the rest of the year, but in a santa hat".

also, i'm technically still celebrating festivus from that one time five years ago.

[escardos]

the most popular ones are grecoroman! and that ones suuuuuuper huge so you could probably spend a lot of time there!

ummmmmmm

i like slavic mythology, though! that one can become pretty bizarre there, ahaha!

[escardos]

you're so valid and honestly same

but how are you celebrating something for five years?

[nor_iron_bars]

ok so the details are a lil sketchy because i was drunk at the time this all started.
but basically a festivus celebration isn't over until the head of w/e household is celebrating gets pinned to the ground in a wrestling match.
and no one ever actually got around to doing that part, because i forgot to, like.
actually tell people it was a festivus party??
so technically the entire last half-decade of my life has been one continuous festivus.

[shockingblue]

You know, as much as you might deserve to meet one, I think I'm gonna have to end this conversation.

[His roommate might be giving him a look and that's a good indication to stop feeding the troll.]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[He does seem a little surprised by the healing - but he laughs, shaking his head.]

You have been reading entirely too many pastiches, haven't you? As far as I'm aware, Holmes and I are not related.

[They are, however, soul linked...and honestly, Flat is extremely close to the truth there, even if Moriarty doesn't know it himself.]

But - feel free to try and wrest my secrets from me! You would not be the first to attempt, and I'll relish the challenge.

So long as you don't mind if I try to find your own, of course.

[escardos]

Oh, come on, don’t tell me you’ve never thought about it!

[ flat sits back down on the couch, knife still in his hand like it’s more a toy than something that was just used as a weapon.

but when moriarty mentions trying to figure out his secrets, flat freezes for a moment, followed by a sigh. ]

That’s definitely unfair Professor. You probably have dozens of mysteries—you’ve lived for two hundred years after all! I’d say I have none, but you’ve already seen through that too, huh? Super unfair.

[nevernoaction]

I haven't tried macarons but I can certainly make cookies.

Although, I wonder if I have enough time to make some for everyone?

[The thought only occurs to him as he's talking.]

[escardos]

oh so if someone were to pin you to the ground, then it would be over!?

i'm pretty weak physically, but i can try to cut your hamstrings? then you'd fall to the ground and i could definitely pin you!

[escardos]

won't that just make things worse when it actually does happen, though? i'm sorry, i don't get it!

[escardos]

can't be too hard? doesn't it take like just 30 minutes to make a batch?

[escardos]

ah, me too! what a coincidence!

[nevernoaction]

Something like that. In your opinion, would you rather get chocolate chip cookies or would it really matter as long as you got cookies?

[infestedcouncilpresident]

I can't deal with this conversation I'm sorry.

[escardos]

hmmm... i think there's some i'd prefer over others? but i've never gotten any cookies from anyone at all, so i think i'd be fine with anything!

chocolate chip seems to be more popular in general, though.

[escardos]

we could talk about something else!

[escardos]

ok! bye! :D

[nor_iron_bars]

nice of you to offer, but nah.
give the shit i get into, odds are someone's gonna tackle me eventually.
might as well just let nature take its' course.

sides, i don't mind festivus.
kinda curious to see how long this keeps going.

[Well, at least this explains why she sometimes opens staff meetings with "I GOT A LOTTA PROBLEMS WITH YOU PEOPLE AND NOW YOU'RE GONNA HEAR ABOUT THEM".]

[alreadyhuman]

[ Grecoroman sounds interesting, so he'll file that away for later. But really, he wants to know what this person finds interesting. ]

whats the weirdest thing about slavic mythology? (°ロ°) how come you like it?

[nevernoaction]

Well, fair enough. Since you gave me the idea, what would you like more than chocolate chip cookies?

[hatesdeerstalkers]

I am James Moriarty, after all. Unfair is merely what I do!

[Dodging the comment about thinking about it (it has crossed his mind once or twice, another reason why he seems to shy away from using his true face), casually nibbling on the snacks he's brought out along with his tea.]

Though you're correct - I can tell you have quite a few secrets just from speaking with you in this small moment. Though I can't distinguish what they are just yet!

[escardos]

huh?

you want to give me some?

[nevernoaction]

Sure, why not? If I want to get to as many people as possible, that would include you, after all.
