Whether by spell, curse or chemical, your character is now compelled to speak honestly about everything. There's a little wiggle room: all that matters is that all they say are true.



1) Post with your character, (you know the drill) they're now stuck speaking the truth.

2) Others tag in.

[Sherlock thinks about it. Not that he can lie either. God, this is going to turn painful later.]

I wasn't depressed. I was angry, confused, upset. But not depressed. I didn't understand how someone as clever as her could let herself get killed. And I don't like not understanding things.

[He pauses as his brain catches up to the last part.]

Good? How was that good?

[mightbeblogging]

Well, how was I supposed to know that? I hadn't known if you'd ever been in a relationship. You were head over heels for that woman, for all I knew. I thought you were heartbroken.

[He sighs, throwing his hands up in the air with some frustration at Sherlock's next question.] Because you followed me, and found out Irene Adler was still alive. So that was good for you, then.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

I... You met Sebastian. I called him "friend." You heard what he said about me... how many relationships do you think I've had?

[Pretty much zero, in Sherlock's opinion. Unless you count his dealers. Well, until Lestrade, Mrs. Hudson, Molly and John. And if pressed, yes, his brother.]

Finding out she was alive, was worse than learning she was dead. Because it meant she tricked me again.

I figured you weren't experienced, yeah, but I didn't think anyone, even someone who's usually such a dick, could go through life without having at least one or two relationships.

[Says 'Three Continents Watson,' who has had more than his fair share of 'conquests,' but mostly in his younger days.

So there really wasn't anything like... physical attraction to her? You just liked her for her mind?

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

I clearly didn't explain myself when we first met. "Physical attraction" is not really my area. In general. And she... well, catered to the whims of the pathetic and took her clothes off to make an impression. The only time she was interesting was when she was using her brain.

[Sorry, he got too caught up in the last part to remember the first part.]

[mightbeblogging]

That discussion at Angelo's was somewhat confusing, yes. [He half-smiled a bit.]

Fine, okay. So you weren't interested in her that way, which is fine. You're just not interested in people that way at all, right?

[Forgive him, he's just trying to understand his friend a bit better.]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock sighs, why is this so hard to understand.]

No. And before you get any hair-brained ideas, I am physically and emotionally fine. [Where sex is concerned, anyway.] As I said, sex doesn't alarm me. I just find it... dull.

[Seriously, what is so exciting about a bio-chemical response to stimulus?]

[mightbeblogging]

[John just rolls his eyes.] Sherlock, I'm sorry. I didn't think there was anything wrong with you. It's fine, alright? It's just a bit hard to understand because I'm just a very average guy who enjoys all of that stuff you find dull. But you're nowhere near average. So what if you can't be bothered with everything I'm bothered with? You're brilliant.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

I just didn't want your 'doctor side' to kick in and decide there were things wrong with me.

[He's already faced that enough in his life, thanks. Then he nods with a twitch of a faint smile that disappears quickly.]

Thank you.
