THE SOFT OPENING

What for? Who knows! Where at? Who cares! Who's paying for all this? Mycroft!!

Time for some cheer, Sherlockians! Regardless of canonpoint or verse, everyone's invited to attending a wonderful party in this beautiful chateau with drinking, nibbles, and maybe a murder or two. All dinosaurs are to be left at the door (and I mean you, Anderson). Mix, mingle, deduce which of the other guests are having affairs, discover dead bodies in the closet, hold someone hostage in the basement; as long as you're having fun, you're welcome here.




THE SMALL TEXT!
This is the official soft opening for the open Sherlock Holmes sandbox threepipeproblem. Link it to everyone, post and be merry, and pray that this works, because if it does then the whole thing will soon be open for business. AWESOME, RIGHT? GO GO GO.
And don't forget to read the rules and FAQs too.

[The smile ticks into place. It dials back but doesn't disappear as he turns to watch the crowd.]

Naturally, once everybody else is finished having their fun. ['Everybody else,' operative words. Sherlock takes a sip of punch and -- ah. There's John, and he's found the HR girl. Hope you're getting a proper flirt in, Doctor, because Sherlock will be ready to leave any second now.]

You might as well have some too, now you're here.

[He raises his glass to Sherlock and has a sip.] Did John come down too, or-?

[Sherlock gives Lestrade a look that says, 'With this crowd?']

He's attempting to chat up that new girl from Human Resources. Elsie. [He checks his watch.] I'll give him two more minutes. By then he'll either have got her number or put her off entirely.
