Prompt Sherlock loves the period, then Moriarty comes in backing the exclamation mark, Mycroft supports the comma and John stands in the middle with a question mark over his head.
"I'm just asking why you use so many exclamation marks in the blog." Sherlock said.
"Since when did you even read the blog!" John snapped, turning away from the food he was cooking, which was, if someone were to be generous with the term, absolute mush.
"OH, why does it mater? I'm telling you, you used barely two periods in that entire thing!"
"And why does that mater more?" John turned back to the food, barely turning the flame down in time to stop it catching the whole thing on fire.
"Because periods are very important for writing! They provide a basic level that the reader can then jump from. If you start with an exclamation mark, well, you just wont captivate your audience."
Suddenly the door flew open and Moriarty came in, a frown on his face. "Hey! Exclamation marks are amazing!" Moriarty argued. John looked from Sherlock to Moriarty, absolutely confused as Moriarty walked towards him. "Don't be hating on my little buddy here!" Moriarty smiled, flinging his arms around John. He tensed, but realized that Moriarty was actually just hugging him. Moriarty looked back at Sherlock, his smile fading. "Periods are soooo boring! Exclamation marks are so much Better!" He grinned.
"In moderation." Sherlock argued.
"Moderation smoderation!" Moriarty waved his hand flippantly. "Exclamation marks keep the reader on the edge of their seat. Periods, so booooooooring! The only applause you'd be getting is snores by the end." Moriarty rolled his eyes.
"You're both wrong, Comma's, are the best." Mycroft walked through the open door. "They allow the audience the necessary dramatic pauses."
"You'd know about drama, Mycroft." Sherlock snarled.
"As would everyone else in this room, Sherlock." Mycroft said loftily and adjusted the umbrella hanging off his bent arm.
"I think I like question marks." John said thoughtfully before pausing and realizing, he was actually having this conversation. "You know, I used to be sane." He said to no one in particular. Moriarty looked at him as though he'd said he used to eat insects.
"Uhg. Why would you want to be sane! I can see why you'd want to thank us!" Moriarty smiled and John shook his head, looking at the ceiling as though it had the answers, instead he found a question mark hanging above him. He wasn't even surprised and just said, "That's exactly how I feel right now." to the the mark in the air as everyone else continued arguing.
