You can't do little signs with your hands?

[howdull]

Lost my hands in the same accident. I'm typing with my nose.

[devoutish]

So am I.

[howdull]

That would explain your articulacy issues.

[devoutish]

Yes.

[At first, that's all he sends; sorry Sherlock, he thinks he's pretty funny too. But then he adds:]

Do you use audio and video with Watson?

[howdull]

[Sherlock thinks it's pretty funny too, he's enjoying this whole exchange.]

Mute. Remember.

[devoutish]

You can't stick with that story forever.

[Or can he. That's maybe a challenge, Sherlock.]

[howdull]

Unfortunately, it is a lifelong condition, so you'll find that I can.

[He will totally take that challenge. Until something distracts him and interests him more.]

[devoutish]

Do you let out a reflexive yell if you're poked in the arm with something sharp?

[howdull]

No. Mute.

[Keep up with the lie here, Alfie.]

I blink the word 'ow' in Morse code.

[devoutish]

[SOS.]

["The word you are looking for is ow".]

[devoutish]

[Holy shit.]

I can't read all that, mate.

[howdull]

Then I believe I win this round.

[This was a game, right? Trying to out bluff one another.]

[devoutish]

Are you very proud of yourself?

[howdull]

Always.
