I am asking.

[That goes completely over his head.]

[jumpthegun]

Sherlock, he means for sex. He's making fun of you.

[Please, someone shoot him now.]

[pistolproof]

[ John, you are ruining his fun. ]

come now Mate.

[jumpthegun]

[Pick someone apart from his oblivious best friend.]

I'd really rather not, if it's all the same to you.

[Well, he can do innuendo, even if Sherlock can't.]

[pistolproof]

[ Pick a less oblivious best friend.

Jack's pout becomes an immediate grin at the response. Talk like this, especially in public, was not proper from the time he coms from. Luckily for us, Jack has never been one for propriety. ]

No need to Answer so quickly eh? Weve barely even gotten to Know Each Other.

[jumpthegun]

Captain John Watson, Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers. There we are, now we know one another.

[And you know he's military, Mr. Pirate. Former military...]

[pistolproof]

[ Ah. Well, yes. That does put a damper on things. ]

Captain Watson. It be My pleasure.

[ He would absolutely give you a bow if he was there in person but alas. ]

if I didnt any Know better Id Say You have no Inclination to Know me at all. which really isnt Fair Any Way You look at It seeing as You dont even Know My Name.

[ He's hurt. You've hurt his feelings. ]

[jumpthegun]

[Former military who associates with high-functioning sociopath detectives and 1920s London gang lords. At least he's corruptible?]

It's not Sir Francis Drake, is it?

[pistolproof]

[ He'll make a pirate of you yet. ]

Not as Such. the Names Captain Jack Sparrow.

[ He'll leave it at that. Maybe he's military too? ]

[jumpthegun]

[Jack, absolutely nothing about you says military.]

I'll have you ask you to leave my mate there alone, then, Captain Sparrow--man-to-man now we know each other. He's got interests in bodies, yeah. Not the kind you're thinking of, though.

[howdull]

[Oh.]

Why would he be propositioning me? We've never met.

[jumpthegun]

Because people are strange sometimes.

[And he's not getting into the issue of necrophilia. No.]

[howdull]

Have people stopped assuming we're together? That's inconvenient.

[When people assumed they were boyfriends, nobody propositioned him because he was taken. Or less people did.]

[jumpthegun]

No. That's accurate.

[howdull]

It stopped unwanted interest. What have you changed to make people stop believing it?

[jumpthegun]

Are you serious? Miraculously, people don't tend to think you're with someone when they aren't around.

[And when he's told them you're dead.]

[howdull]

I'm patently around now.

[pistolproof]

by all Means. but I assure You there be other Options.

[ Like himself, for instance. Have sex with Jack Sparrow instead of the dead body. He promises he'll be a better lay than a lifeless corpse. ]

[howdull]

[What is that typing? Not illiterate, speech to text would capitalise properly, so merely uneducated. Perhaps English second language.]

Not for my purposes there aren't.

[pistolproof]

[ Stop trying to dissect his text messages, Sherlock, he's trying to flirt with you here. ]

Im Sure there Could be.

[howdull]

You wish to offer to be dissected while alive?

[No, Jack, there are no other options for what he wants the body for.]

[pistolproof]

[ That does not sound ideal. ]

not as Such.

[howdull]

Then your offer holds no interest for me. Thank you, but no.

[See? He was even polite while rejecting the unwanted advances.]

[pistolproof]

[ He tried to hard and got so far-- ]

Your Los Mate

[howdull]

18th Century?

[The spelling and the capitalisation finally click into place. Not that he believes anyone here is from the actual 18th Century, but he knows enough now to know that people may believe they are.]
