It was, surprisingly, a rather normal day in 221C Baker Street, though it was probably because the girls had had to pull an all-weeker with Rosie only having 7 hours sleep, less than a 9 year old should, and Lily, 'Phina and Belle having 1, which they could stay up for about 23 hours on, so they, naturally, had all slept in for once, all getting 12 hours sleep, after getting in at 2 am, and had all been up for around an hour now, with Lily reading in the living room, 'Phina on her laptop looking at some conspiracy theories and trying to see if they could be true or not, while Rosie and Belle were in the kitchen making paninis for a late lunch for them all.
It was a pitter-patter of footsteps on the land-in and a white envelope being pushed under the door that disrupted it.
"Lily, why has Uncle John pushed an envelope under the door?"
"You don't remember what he said 2 weeks ago do you." It was more of a statement than a question. At 'Phina's raised eyebrow she said.
"Uncle John said that he would write down some rules to help stop scaring clients away and to stop the house from exploding."
" 's take a look then."
The Girls Rules
1.Only do experiments in the warehouse, Camilla bought that for a reason.
2.Don't fill the adults' fridge with body parts, you have your own and mini-fridges, use them.
3.Don't deduce everyone when John, Mary and Camilla take you to work, the colleagues think their insane already don't make it worse.
4.No re-enacting Hamlet with the skull Seraphina, it's creepy enough you have one and call it HAMMY of all things so don't act out Hamlet at 3 am in the dark and Elizabethan era clothing, do you want to give John or Mrs Hudson a heart attack when they come to check on you.
5.No more dissecting bodies in the morgue Rosie, aren't you meant to be the sanest of you four.
6.No more telling people about different poisonous plants and animals over dinner, you four, Sherlock and Camilla may enjoy it but everyone else was put off their food.
7.When Sherlock shoots the smiley face on the wall it's irritating, when Camilla, John and the girls hit it right between the eyes with an impassive face or one of pure fury it is terrifying, so don't do it and definitely not in-front of clients
More will be added later
"How dull, what does he expect us to do during dinner."
"At least we can do it when he isn't there, and my siblings and most of my friends should be fine with it as long as we don't go into too much detail about how people look when the poisons take effect. Overall it's pretty fair and we can deduce as long as we don't say it out loud."
"True, come on, Belle and Rosie still need to see."
"It's not too bad, except for the part about dissection, but I can do it with separate body parts."
"And I can withfrain from talking about poisons with company who don't like that."
"So, we're agreed that this is fair?"
They all agreed as it could be worse, they could be banned from doing it all together rather than in some situations.
