I see. You're putting use to the Latin I taught you. For once, I am not the target of your ire. But you do not deceive me, brother mine. You are upset about someone. Got yourself a new foe? How quaint.

Put that scalpel away, Sherlock. We do not want a repeat performance of what happened last time. Although you might not recall, given the state you were in. I believe you are more aware than I am that a scalpel is not the optimal murder weapon for the perfect crime.

A joyous Ides of March!

What would be a suitable activity for this day? To celebrate, why not stab a tyrannt? Or how about stabbing your oppressors? Why not overthrow someone who abused their power and stole from other people, thinking they're all mighty and invincible? No one is invincible, everyone can fall victim to a riot, to a knife (or twenty-three knives). Or to a scalpel, used for surgery, wielded with precision to incise and to remove necrotic or cancerous tissue, who present a threat to the host by poisoning the body and draining its energy like a parasite, in order to save it. Sometimes a sharp force wielded without remorse is required for the greater good.

All for historical reasons concerning Julius Caesar, of course. Only hypothetically.

Beware the ides of march! Sic semper tyrannis!

[mycroft-h-holmes]

Oh my, someone is, to put it mildly, upset. Was my phone call that atrocious, making you consider fratricide now? Instigating a riot against the British government would be quite the futile and foolish feat, brother mine. I think your criminal records are already extensive enough without a count of conspiracy against the government.

Are my motives that obvious?

You do not require peer pressure to use drugs, brother dear. You are perfectly capable of exerting that pressure by yourself.

Wear the antlers, Sherlock. Rosie and Mrs Hudson will love it.

No, I will most certainly not wear the antlers. That is humiliating. @mrs-hudsons-cozy-corner asks me every christmas to wear the antlers, and I deny this request every year. Not even all the King's horses could make me wear the antlers.

[mycroft-h-holmes]

This is not a tie. This is an abomination attached to an elastic band. If this brings people joy, then the world is truly rotten and lost.

I support this request. Wear the antlers, Sherlock. It would be quite amusing.

Thank you for your support in taming Sherlock, Mrs Hudson. You are of utmost help when he is being especially stubborn. Which is always.

Stop hiding in your room, brother mine. You are acting like a broody teenager.

I am not hiding, I am merely escaping from the clamour for a few minutes and recuperating. I think you all will be able to endure my absence, probably even benefit from it.

[mycroft-h-holmes]

People do usually benefit from your absence, but Mummy wants you to join the festivities. You will not escape the festivities, Sherlock. So stop being so childish. It is futile.

How about I send you small bottle for your good deeds in animal rehabilitation?

As long as you don't share with that other spider @criminalisticonsultant

Speaking of whiskey...

...You still have the one I imported?

.....Ah, it's a "sip of the ol' 50 year whisky day".

[mycroft-h-holmes]

Hello, Mr. Holmes. I have a question. Would you kill for Sherlock? And if he was shot, would you shield him with your body?

You still haven't answered. And no, I don't plan to.

For the sake of all involved, I'll decline to answer. It should be well known the bonds that familial ties hold on people.

If Sherlock was in a compromising position to be shot, it will be because he didn't have the foresight to avoid it and therefore nowhere near me. He does hate how my impeccable logic brings reason to his half-cocked plans.

[mycroft-h-holmes]

How annoying do you find Sherlock?

-anon ✨️

( @anon-sparkle )

It really depends on the day, Anon.

At best, I find Sherlock's antics amusing. At worst, I'm reaching for my best whiskey.

[mycroft-h-holmes]

That's it! I'm only gonna call you Lady Bracknell from now on! 🤣

-FT

........Lord have mercy on my tired soul

[mycroft-h-holmes]

Hello, Mr. Holmes. How would you react if Sherlock came to you in tears?

Wonder if this was yet another ploy to get me to clean up his mess.

[mycroft-h-holmes]

Absolutely delicious

[mycroft-h-holmes]

Would you ever consider reprising your role as Lady Bracknell should there be a new production of The Importance of Being Earnest?

There may or may not be one underway, if you’re interested.

-TH (@tamerlane-holmes)

I have a great many other matters that require my undivided attention, dear boy. The trappings of being in the service to the Crown and all.

I wouldn't mind coming to the production if you wish. Send the dates?

Planning something, hmm?
