Curious, a little pocket into the world I used to live...

Well, onto the "ask"; what is on the schedule this week? How is John? Rosie? Eurus, have you composed anything recently?

Hm, perhaps this should have been multiple asks ... Nevermind now, I've written it.

John: They've all gone insane. I thought the lockdown was bad.

Eurus: Is it insanity to protest against injustice?

Sherlock: I think he means when you pushed the policeman down the bridge.

Eurus: I didn't think he knew how to swim.

John: I'm all for condemning the government, but that could have killed him.

Sherlock: Oh keep up John, we were hoping it would.

[asktheholmes]

Sherlock: The internet needs to know this

John: I mean this is private information and-

Eurus: John, I rarely agree with my brother but the internet indeed needs to know this.

Eurus and Sherlock (at the same time) : MYCROFT HAS A FRIEND!

[asktheholmes]

John: Merry Christmas

Sherlock: You're a day late

John: MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Eurus: I don't even want to get into this.

[asktheholmes]

John: Umm.. Sherlock should we be doing this?

Sherlock: No. My siblings would not approve.

John: But you're going to do this anyway?

Sherlock: Hmm? Oh, yes.

[asktheholmes]

All right now I just really, REALLY want to know what this new year tradition is...

Eurus: Oh actually it's-

Sherlock: NO

Mycroft: NO

Eurus: It's-

Sherlock: AND WE'RE DONE. BYE!

[asktheholmes]

Hello! How did you guys spend your New Year's? (if you did)

Eurus: Of course we did. What sort of question is that?!

Sherlock: Mummy and Eurus have a... tradition.

Mycroft: It's only enjoyable to them. I assure you.

Eurus: Then why do you go along with it?

Sherlock: I suppose it's because he's scared of Mummy.

Mycroft: I remeber you wearing the jumper too.

Sherlock: Yes, well I didn't exactly say that I wasn't scared of her either.

[asktheholmes]

I have an ask for mycroft! Did you finally accept the invitation from lady smallwood?

Eurus: *chockes* What?!

Sherlock: *laughing* And you had the audacity to get on my back?

Mycroft: I am sorry but who are you speaking of?

Eurus: Oh this is gold.

Sherlock: Better, this is platinum.

Since I am the only one here I am not going to bother with stating names. (This is Eurus by the way, in case any of you missed.) The tradition is simple actually. The moment the clock hits twelve, we all gather round a circle, the lights are all kept off and we pass around a candle. (Mummy insists upon it) And tell each other all the secrets we had hiden from each other this year. Father says it's to ensure that we begin the new year with happy spirits and nothing burdening us and something else sentimental. Mummy says it's so she has the juiciest gossip before the year begins. Sherlock enjoys it, because despite how much he denies it he likes to have his assumptions of people be proven contradictory. It keeps things interesting. I enjoy it because it feels like a strange exorcism. And Mycroft... He hates it cause he has the most secrets to spare. Although this year Sherlock came up with quite a few. I think he almost beat Mycroft, in that regard.
