Mycroft,

Are you planning on participating in your brother's murder mystery game?

~Renart

[She's been waffling herself, torn between wanting to see the humans be clever and wanting to out-clever them all herself. So... hanging out with the guy who will just solve it immediately and spending the rest of the game watching everyone else seems like a good compromise, right?]

[holmesice]

Renart,

I was considering it.

[He could use a laugh.]

Would you like to partner up? It could be fun.

And if you bring a thermos of tea I will bring the macarons.

[They're going to need snacks for this, obviously.]

[holmesice]

[Interesting. He could easily figure it all out on his own in minutes, so he doubted that being asked to partner up was anything else but an attempt at winning via social manipulation...which he admired. So of course he'd do it.]

I agree to your terms. Please bring plenty of macarons, as I'll make short work of the competition and we may get bored.

[aigue]

Of course. Though I find people-watching to be fun, so I'm hoping there will be some entertainment there.

[holmesice]

Excellent. I look forward to winning. Perhaps you can enjoy seeing some upset, sore losers.

I shall meet you there at the appropriate time.
