Not Suitable for Children Over Twelve
"That was not funny, John!"
"I told you not to do it."
"You didn't say that it would hurt!"
"That's just a bit of common sense."
"Why would I know about that?"
"I don't know. Why do you know about the coagulation of saliva after death?"
"Because that's important!"
"Hm."
"I can hardly walk!"
"Shame. Take some paracetamol."
"That won't help. Such trivial medicine doesn't help me-"
"Probably because you've built up a tolerance over the years of overdosing on it."
"I didn't overdose on paracetamol. If I overdosed, I'd be dead, John."
"Don't make me into the bad guy here. This is all your fault."
"Well, a little bit is yours, too."
"Nope."
"John-"
"I told you to take it easy."
"You should know that-"
"That you don't do things halfheartedly. I know."
Silence.
"You know, you're walking a bit funny."
"Well, John, I wonder why!"
"What part of 'not intended for children over twelve years of age' did you not understand?"
"Tch. Rules, rules are boring."
"And you got hurt. Don't complain, Sherlock."
"I'm not complaining."
"Yes, you are. Next time, try to think, maybe? You're great at it."
"I just didn't know that there was a downside."
"Sherlock! Really? It was a Slip and Slide!"
Sigh.
You dirty, dirty birds. You thought they were talking about something else, didn't you? Haha.
I had this idea while, yeah, playing on the Slip and Slide. (Yes, I'm eighteen. But I'm the size of an twelve year old, so I figure it's okay.) It went as such:
Talking to self:
"I don't have to slide down it. I'll just run and surf down it. If anyone can do it, it's me. I'm Sherlock Holmes!
... I wonder how Sherlock would manage this. He probably wouldn't do well. He's long and lanky and he'd probably end up on his ass."
-I take off running down the slide, I slip on the water, I fall flat on my ass-
"... That would happen, wouldn't it?"
And I had to figure out a way to do it without being stupidly OOC. Thus, all dialogue.
Reviews will help Sherlock's bruises get better... ;D Haha! Thanks for reading!
