Summary: In which Sherlock Holmes loses the game. [A dialogue only Fic]

"John! Help!"

"...what is it now, Sherlock?"

"The Game."

"...The Game?"

"Yes, John, The Game."

"What about it?"

"Apparently, I just lost it."

"..."

"John!"

"...I don't get it, Sherlock...what game?"

"That's just it, John! I. Don't. Know!"

"..."

"Remember that American Sergeant we met yesterday at the yard?"

"...the really touchy one with the glasses?"

"Yes, that's the one...well, she just sent me a text-"

"Wait a minute. How does she have your number?"

"...she may have got a hold of my phone when she..."

"When she was...uh...'searching' us?"

"...yes, she was pretty thorough..."

"So, she stole your phone and pulled an Irene Adler on you?"

"Yes-No! That's not the point, John! Her text read 'You just lost The Game.' What game?!"

"Oh, I get it now. The Game."

"This is no laughing matter, John."

"It's just a game, Sherlock."

"But I lost!"

"That's kind of the point of it, yes."

"I cannot loose a game I did not even know I was playing!"

"Sigh...It's a game that some kids made up awhile ago. It's sort of a Internet thing, I suppose. The point is not to think about it. Once you think about The Game...you lose The Game."

"...So, that would mean that you just lost the Game as well."

"...Yes, Sherlock, we both have been losing this entire conversation."

"...That is positively ridiculous."

"Well, it's just a game."

"How do you win?"

"You don't...I guess."

"That's completely illogical! You can not play a game that you can't win!"

"You do it all the time, Sher."

"Argh! "

"Sherlock, be good. It's not worth thinking about it...In fact, I'm amazed you haven't deleted it already."

"Deleted what?"

"The Game, Sherlock."

"What game?"

"Ugh, I give up."

This silly thing came from an impromptu skit at my last convention between my friend [who was cosplaying as Korra from The Last Air bender], my Jawn [dressed as John] and myself [cosplaying reichenbach!Sherlock-complete with blood, shock blanket, violin and a riding crop.] about Sherlock and John learning about The Game. It was really fun and got a great deal of people at the con to laugh. I'm typically not a humorous writer, though it's hard for me to stay serious while in person and this is my first dialogue fic. We'll probably end up doing it at the next one too [I'll have my John, and Moriarty, Moran, and Molly too...still no Lestrade, sad, I do love him.]

Ciao!
