[ there's a rather bashful six year old boy staring at the camera, biting his lip nervously, as if he's about to recite a poem. ]

Mi... mister Ho - Holmes. Says t'sa...ummmm. To... say.

[ He takes a slip of paper from his pocket, unfolds it slowly, then tries to read out the words - ]

Good... af... after.... noon.

[ - then he smiles brightly. ]

Good afternoon. From Mr. Hol... Holmes.



[ ooc: ...worry not, the NPC was not kept up past his curfew! And in case I forget to mark it: Mycroft will be replying to everything in TEXT. He will also be keeping a list of individuals who reply, unless you have something against it ;; ]

[That's slightly odd. Sephiroth is curious enough to reply.]

Good afternoon. To you and Mr. Holmes.

I am Sephiroth.

[archivy]

Good afternoon, Mr Holmes.

[boutant]

[ EYEBROW RAISE ]

Does Mr. Holmes always speak through children?

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Are we really doing this?

[signatures]

Didn't you ever learn not to talk to strangers, silly boy?

[valentineluke]

Please don't let this be THE Holmes.

Hmm.

[likesavantgarde]

Do you make a habit of speaking through children, Mr. Holmes?

[misterblackbird]

And good afternoon to Mr Holmes in return.

[ TEXT ]

[notelegrams]

He often takes the precaution of a brief message and an endearing spokesperson.

[ TEXT ]

[notelegrams]

The purpose of introduction, I believe, is to accommodate your interlocutor with information of value.

[ TEXT ]

[notelegrams]

How do you find the weather?

[ TEXT ]

[notelegrams]

We are not in short supply of the time, the resources, and the inclination to really be doing this.

[notelegrams]

I am afraid a modest request and monetary compensation have done much to persuade young Harold against the benefits of his education.

[ TEXT ]

[notelegrams]

How do you do?

[ TEXT ]

[notelegrams]

Native communication venues have their value.

[ TEXT ]

[notelegrams]

It's turning late. Shall we say

--

Good evening?

[ TEXT ]

[archivy]

It does not concern me very much.

[ TEXT ]

[notelegrams]

Concern is not a condition for interest.

[ TEXT ]

[archivy]

The weather holds no interest to me, Mr Holmes.

How many communications average on the hour?

[ TEXT ]

[archivy]

That depends on the time of day.

[ TEXT ]

[notelegrams]

On the average, not the particular.

[ TEXT ]

[archivy]

Taking into account curse days, the network averages 1.5 posts per hour. Average response depends on the person and their social network, varying between five and forty replies per hour.

I cannot disclose the average of private communications. Why do you ask?

[pinkeffinprofessional]

I think after this shit no one is ever allowed to call me paranoid again.
