Cervantian Epiphenomenalism of Identity.

[notdogmatic]

It seems I have been assigned a new roommate.

In order to co-exist harmoniously within such a limited space, Mister Holmes, I believe we should become better acquainted.

[ oh, sigh. ]

That won't be necessary.

[notdogmatic]

For what reason?

I have been repeatedly assured that I am difficult to relate to, and I do not wish for my future behavior to cause difficulties which greater understanding now could avoid.

[worldsonly]

Good for you, I'm sure you're being terribly considerate, but I have other arrangements and none of them involve sharing an assigned flatshare with an underage roommate with vaguely religious delusions. Do enjoy the rooms.

[notdogmatic]

... religious delusions?

[worldsonly]

Oh come on, angels? It's not even creative. No thank you.

[notdogmatic]

I see.

My interest in angels is not religious in nature.

As I have no use for a second bedroom, the one assigned to you will remain unused should you decide to use it later.

Planning to break into John's flat, are you?

[worldsonly]

Wrong. Past tense.

Also, I want the file on the
police chief's double murder.

[kinglestrade]

Naturally.

I'm not in charge here,
Sherlock. Why don't you come down to the station
and apply as an official consultant?

GL

[worldsonly]

Boring. Better things to do
with my intellect than cater
to rules and procedure.

SH

[kinglestrade]

Sherlock, I was hired after I mentioned I
was a DI. There's a bloody teenage
private detective on the team. I doubt that the
procedure here will pull you down by
your melodramatic coattails.

You are an absolute prat, you know that, right? You nearly gave me a heart attack when I got in!

Is there something wrong with the flat you were assigned?

[worldsonly]

Obviously.

[notdogmatic]

I believe I am the primary difficulty.

Previous room-mates have expressed similar distress.

[worldsonly]

Oh try not to be so dramatic, it has nothing to do with you. John is supposed to be my flatmate.

[notdogmatic]

You believe in predestination?

[worldsonly]

No, I believe in having already been his flatmate for oh, a little over a year now.

It's a lot smaller than the one in London, so you'll just have to keep your things tidy...And the least you could have done is inform me first.

[bakerst-blogger.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, trust me, He's doing you a favour by clearing out.

[notdogmatic]

I see.

So long as it isn't a matter of infantile philosophy, that is a sensible outlook. The connections that exist between people should not be ignored.

[notdogmatic]

What sort of favor?

[bakerst-blogger.livejournal.com]

The merciful kind where you don't tear your hair out because he's left something that came off a person in the sink to defrost again.
