Chores & Other Assorted Defeats (Open!)

Who: Sherlock Holmes & Anyone
Where: Art Room, Warden Conference Room, Laundromat, Dining Hall, and the Library...and anywhere else, I suppose.
What: A day in the life of...
When: HOLY THE ENTIRE DAY, BATMAN!
Mistletoe Status: Just-abouts and barely-escaped encounters welcome! Holmes' observational skills will save you at just the last moment.

{The titles of all threads say where he is at the time, feel free to bump into and bother him. And don't worry about taking up my time; I have no life and this is not an issue.}

LAUNDROMAT

"Do you do the laundry?" Bateman had been wandering by when he'd seen the man, but it was a good thing to know. So, he paused in the doorway, resting an elbow against the frame and eying the man skeptically.

The man was dressed well but decidedly English, which put the whole "doing laundry" thing into perspective.

Shego's just going to wander into the laundromat with a basket of her stuff, mostly barely-worn catsuits - the fact that she's wearing jeans and a blouse right now is clear evidence she's left this for too long. She's aware of Holmes already being there, looking kind of ridiculous, but she doesn't acknowledge his presence with more than a glance and opens one of the machines, loading it and setting up a wash with bored competence.

fortytwoseconds: (plotting something)

ART ROOM

[personal profile] fortytwoseconds 2010-12-20 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Parker is feeling cabin fever coming on, and is attempting to deal with it by reacquainting herself with every nook and cranny - and, more importantly, every lock - on the ship, and she's wearing a hideous Christmas sweater and a Santa hat while she's doing it. 'Tis the season, after all. She's determined to find some Christmas joy even on a prison boat.

In the art room, she finds a man tasting paint. She watches him blankly for a moment before surreptitiously sniffing the paint to see if there's anything special about it.

"Smells like paint."

ART ROOM

Erik had had no idea there was an art room. He had been intent on sequestering himself, but a man must obey the call of nature from time to time, and that has led to wandering, and that has led to...

A madman eating paint.

He watches from the doorway briefly, before spinning on his heel, his black cloak billowing behind him.

Kay had once used the comment "worked at a funeral home" in description of the uniform suits of the Men in Black. The description still held. The well kept but slightly morose looking gentleman watched Mr. Holmes from across the room.

He was more tired than usual, though, and it was obvious in his heavy-lidded stare and desperation to cram more caffeine (coffee) into his system. It had taken him a moment to note the Victorian ninja in the first place which meant his observational skills were sliding. Which could be potentially dangerous.

His eyes followed Holmes over the rim of his third cup, though if he was noticed, the most greeting he'd put forth was an acknowledging nod.

gimmethemap: (my apple)

DAMN OUR SIMILAR HABITS

[personal profile] gimmethemap 2010-12-21 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Morgan was a pirate. This should have been obvious to herself and everyone that knew her -- save perhaps the most dim of them, and even then! The reason why this was important was that like many from her region, she had a certain liking for those rare fruits that were not the most common -- particularly crisp fruits. Ergo, apples.

And because she was a Warden with an overinflated sense of importance to boot, she had a habit of nicking them from the kitchen when she thought no one was looking. This was the case today, made slightly different in that the apple she reached for happened to be snitched by someone else at the very last second.

She looked up, blinking. "Oh. Hello."

Spike wanders over to the computer terminal, watching him attempt to work it. It's even more pathetic than watching Angel try to work technology, really.

"Aren't you supposed to be some sort of genius?"

HAY IT'S SOME BRAVERY

[identity profile] a-bit-put-upon.livejournal.com 2010-12-20 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
The Doctor, having finished trundling one full cart across half the library, brings it back empty (he's got time on his hands for this sort of thing, you see). It always fills him with a strange little glee to see anyone sitting with so many books within arm's reach, and he smiles, preparing to greet the reader... until he notices not only the reader's identity, but some of the books sitting with him.

Oh... oh, dear.

His first instinct, and selfishly so, is to sit and start asking what's true and what isn't. His manners get the better of him, though, and instead he replaces the cart quietly and disappears momentarily to his desk.

Several minutes later, a disposable cup bearing a standard breakfast tea prepared in the way he remembers seeing at the inn during port is set carefully out of the way of flipping pages, but close enough to eventually alert Sherlock to the steam, and the Doctor is off to go about his business again.

HAY GUY

Rex was slinking around the library, gracefully and silently, like a latex-clad cat. Or perhaps that wasn't the most accurate description of him, given the slight stiffness in his movement, the fact that the steady rhythm of his ventilator eliminated any stealth and... he wasn't really wearing latex. It was more of a blend of-- nevermind. That was beside the point, since he had his coat on, anyway.

Still. Rex was slinking, skulking from shelf to shelf in pursuit of a particular text on theoretical engineering (from the ~future~ as well as what might have been an alternate reality), when he passed by Sherlock Holmes at the computer terminals.

And then, ten minutes later, book tucked under his arm, Rex passed the terminal again, finding Holmes rooted to the same spot, on the same screen.

"I suppose it isn't equipped with the most intuitive operating system," he remarked in an even voice, neither mocking nor offering any sympathy. It was just an offhand statement. "Just be thankful you don't have to navigate through MS-DOS." Old school, right there. Man, MS-DOS was almost like ancient history... unless you're Sherlock Holmes.

Paddy is simply walking down to the gym, some boxing gloves thrown over his shoulder, desperately wanting to take out some of his frustration at... well, most of the women in his life out on an inanimate object. In fact, an animate one sounded quite good, but he'd resist the temptation.

Either way, he'd finished cooking for the day and was more stressed than he'd like to be about things, so the gym sounded like a good idea. He wasn't expecting to run into anyone, but not averse to the idea either.
