[Open - Mingle away guys!]

Who: Watson, Clinic Staff, Interested Parties, Random Passers-by, possibly Holmes.
What: A picnic to celebrate the hard work of the clinic staff/get to know each other.
When: Day 62 - mid-day to mid-afternoon!
Where: Gefion Park.
Rating: ... PG for Holmes.

[It was hard to find anywhere in the lavishly tended gardens of Gefion Park to set up a picnic blanket, but eventually Watson found the perfect spot of green grass -- and was it ever green! Surely grass had never been so vibrant? -- lots of sun, shade provided for those who wanted it in the form of some meticulously sculpted evergreens and even enough space to play cricket, should they want to. I'll bring a bat next time, Watson decided before catching himself -- there wouldn't be a next time.

Still, all the more reason to spend what time they had left together in fun. He'd lost Holmes -- or Holmes had lost interest and wandered off while Watson was making the preparations for the picnic, but Watson had no doubt that his friend would find him again when he was ready -- and hopefully there would be some members of the picnic party around to introduce when he did. Until then --

The day was warm, and there was a cool beer in the hamper with his name written all over it. Hanging jacket on the box-hedge, and discarding his tie with it, Watson rolled up his sleeves before settling back in the sun with his beer, utterly content.]

[He pauses for a moment, narrowing his eyes and maybe even drawing up one knee to grab.]

...It's kind of stupid. Sure you want to listen?
whatagoodgirl: ([bodyswap] gaze sidelong.)

It's not stupid if it's bothering you. I don't mind at all.
whatagoodgirl: ([bodyswap] gaze sidelong.)

[She gives him a thankful grin, and tucks into her meal for a moment.]

So how long have you been here, Dr. Watson?
suppressthedark: (Got 99 problems)

[personal profile] suppressthedark 2012-04-16 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Sigh. He doesn't say anything for a minute, then-]

I said something dumb, and another person paid the price for it.
whatagoodgirl: ([bodyswap] astonished.)

You've been here for awhile! It's so weird, sometimes it feels like there's not that many of us, but there's so many people I never meet. Which house are you in?
whatagoodgirl: ([bodyswap] horror.)

[personal profile] whatagoodgirl 2012-04-18 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
What - kind of price? [A bit anxiously.]
suppressthedark: (Allow me to let it go)

He got kicked out of the group he was in.

[He's not going to tell her it was a group of assassins of course-he's very aware that he's still being watched, but hopefully they'll let him be vague about it to someone.]

He was pretty pissed off at me-and for good reason.
whatagoodgirl: ([bodyswap] gaze sidelong.)

Especially when you work, right? It's better than home, because at least I work in a shop, so I don't spend all my time at home. But I do have a real pattern now.

Oh, Thor... [She's surprised that a doctor would be in Thor. It seems more like an Odin or Heimdall discipline.] What do you think of it?
whatagoodgirl: ([bodyswap] eeehh?)

[personal profile] whatagoodgirl 2012-04-20 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
He didn't hurt you, did he?

[That was a bad thing to do, but her first loyalties are always to her friends. And it sounds like it was an accident anyway...]
whatagoodgirl: ([surprise] these things that i've done.)

[personal profile] whatagoodgirl 2012-04-22 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, well, I'm working on a few hobbies. I read a lot, and I'm learning to bake and brushing up on my cooking. It was all school and work at home, so I'm not really used to free time, but I'm learning to relax.

[She doesn't even realize what a sad statement that is.]

A rake? [Curious headtilt. That's not a familiar expression to her.]
whatagoodgirl: ([surprise] Ushiro say what?)

[personal profile] whatagoodgirl 2012-04-22 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lad doesn't help either, but she gets the picture. And is rather surprised.]

You were in the army, too?
whatagoodgirl: ([neutral] deep thought.)

[personal profile] whatagoodgirl 2012-04-23 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)
And now... do you have your own Sherlock, like the other Dr. Watson?
suppressthedark: (Got 99 problems)

[personal profile] suppressthedark 2012-04-24 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head.]

No.

[Just scared the shit out of him, but...]

...I'd feel better if he had.

[ICHIGO WHAT A TERRIBLE THING TO SAY]
whatagoodgirl: ([bodyswap] astonished.)

[personal profile] whatagoodgirl 2012-04-24 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Ichigo! [She looks stricken.] I'm sure you didn't mean to do it. You don't deserve to be hurt.
suppressthedark: (Have made my decision)

[personal profile] suppressthedark 2012-04-25 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[He just shrugs, saying nothing.

Someone's a stubborn ass.]
whatagoodgirl: ([bodyswap] bossy.)

[personal profile] whatagoodgirl 2012-04-26 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean it. Everyone sticks their foot in their mouth sometimes, and if it has big consequences, that's bad. But it's not your fault. It's a mistake.
whatagoodgirl: ([surprise] these things that i've done.)

[personal profile] whatagoodgirl 2012-04-28 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, do they prefer Holmes? I've met both of you... both Dr. Watsons, I mean... but I haven't met a Sher - Holmes yet.
whatagoodgirl: ([neutral] deep thought.)

[personal profile] whatagoodgirl 2012-04-30 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That's like Japan. I would call you Watson-sensei and him Holmes-san. It's just a habit I've gotten out of since learning this new language... sometimes I feel really impolite, but first names just come out without me thinking.
