For those that have heard John's feed, he considers me to be dead. Don't tell him otherwise.

Have you had any experience with this?

SH

text; (private) because this thread totes needs more angst amirite

[amajestictale]

Yes.

TD

text; (private) let's get ALL THE ANGST

[consults]

What was the situation?

SH

text; (private) our lord moffat compels us

[amajestictale]

If I didn't die, my friends would suffer.

TD

text; (private) doctor and sherlock angst just what he wanted

[consults]

[it takes him a while to answer to this text. For the first time in a long time, he could actually relate to this on an emotional level.]

Which is why you travel alone?

SH

text; (private) tempted to tweet him now... :|a

[amajestictale]

[ at first, the Doctor isn't quite sure how to respond. but, as usual, when people see through his facade and through his lies, the depth of his darkness becomes more obvious.

he's better off alone.

he can't say anything other than-- ]

Yes.

TD

[ because maybe Sherlock understands. ]

text; (private) he just loves to rip our hearts out

[consults]

[and he breathes, again unsure how to respond. He knew that he had to go alone if he wanted to finish this, John clearly could not join in.

But now that he was in Asgard and mostly safe, he could go back to John. But Sherlock still had to go back to his case the moment he returned. Alone.

For the first time, Sherlock wasn't sure of what to do.]

I understand.

text; (private) 'from one to ten how much will sherlock make us cry' '37' bastard

[amajestictale]

I was a bit worried you'd say that.

TD

[ emotionally drained is a suitable phrase for how he feels right now. ]

text; (private) moffat uses our tears to be eternally young

[consults]

[and he saw his own funeral. god this is a very deep conversation, much more than what he expected, or wanted.]

I suppose they are running out of creative ways to threaten us, then.

SH

text; (private) yes. that's why he's so gleeful at our tears

[amajestictale]

[ yeah, the Doctor isn't quite sure how this conversation was supposed to go, but ... he certainly hadn't expected Sherlock to actually ask him the circumstances. ]

Bit unoriginal, I agree.
But effective.

TD

[ after a sparse moment, after that text: ]

Are you planning on telling him?

TD

[ not when.

is he. ]

text; (private) he collects tears like normal people collect stamps

[consults]

Incredibly so. I'm surprised more of them don't take that as a form of action.

SH

[when he receives the text, he responds almost immediately.]

Yes. I see no reason to fake my death at the moment.

SH

[the problem was how?]

text; (private) he shows them off to gaytiss and gaytiss just shakes his head

[amajestictale]

[ he waits a moment as both texts get to him. he didn't think he'd be giving advice on this sort of thing.

thankfully, Sherlock and the Doctor have similar minds, so he can follow along. ]

No matter how delicately you try to tell him, it might be a bit...
Hurtful.

TD

text; (private) he's the john to moffat's sherlock

[consults]

He'll understand the necessity of it once he knows the whole situation.

Have you told the ones that you left?

SH

text; (private) yes he is god bless godtiss he needs it

[amajestictale]

Well, yes, I did.
But it was tricky.
Someone else got to them before I did.
Hopefully YOU didn't have an accomplice with loose lips.

text; (private) godtiss for greatest person ever

[consults]

My accomplices in this matter are more reliable than your's. They won't say a word.
