[Ha! Pah, indeed.]

And what I enjoy is learning, slowly and methodically, what you like, Ms Vaux.

[This sounds more thoughtful than it is. It’s actually a little selfish, treating it all like its own little mystery to unravel, pulling it back layer by layer. Enticing in mind first, body second.]

So then we are left at an impasse. Who shall unravel who first — if that is a quandary you would like to try to tackle.

[velluminous]

[ her insight is in the negatives; she does not and will not realize the selfishness for what it is until much, much later. if at all. what she hears is that she has enticed him. "slowly and methodically"... he'll feel her shiver, because her tail is still wrapped around his arm ]

Take off stupid wig.

[retroductions]

[That shiver may as well have run through his own arm, in turn. He takes it as an acceptance of said challenge, and while she slips down a little lower when he frees up a hand to rescue his head from the confines of a silly wig—fisting into it with his fingers and pulling it away—he manages, somehow, to keep them both standing.

His already normally-poofy hair is extra poofy now, falling across his eyes.]

Doppelganger no more.

for emmet.

Excellent! With any luck, on our return home, we can keep our belongings and I can show Iris proof of my rubbing elbows with someone famous.

[likewinning]

Iris?

[retroductions]

Yes, my flatmate back home. Provider of half the rent! The writer of all my published cases! A keen inventor and connoisseur of herbal teas.

[Plucks at one of his golden strings leading to nowhere.]

Likely one of these.

for minato.

And then you forgot.

[messianic]

[ he just

ducks his head sheepishly. ]

... Oops...?

[retroductions]

[This boy.]

Well, who am I to judge? I have been known to forget a thing or two, as well, and remember it only at the eleventh hour!

[He should not say that with such pride.]

for sprezzatura.

[She'll have a moment to sit (if she chooses to) while he prepares the coffee. It's... interesting, and with some worrisome clattering taking place here and there, but eventually, the coffee is well on its way to percolating.]

You do not consider yourself one, do you? At any rate, I've noticed a few interesting colors on your own strings.

[Of course he has.]

[velluminous]

[ she does so choose, and so chooses a bar seat safely away from the percolating of the coffee. one of the last things she needs is for someone to end up scalded. ]

I'm sure you have, Herlock.

for marianne.

[retroductions]

Here, let me assist you.

[And he does, reaching for that knot to work at it with deft fingers.

What are the colors looking like?]

[sereneadherent]

[Lots of various shades of gold: some dark and rich in color and some paler with greenish undertones. There are also some green strings and three (3) pink ones.]

Thank you, Mr. Sholmes. I have to admit, I'm not great at untangling things. I usually end up making it worse.

for ingo.

[He has an idea, if only because this was briefly discussed before with Mr Ruggie.]

Yes, I think so! A fellow back home -- a prosecutor who once went by the title of Mr Reaper. [Well, he had "Reaper" in his title.] As such, you can imagine his personality: dark and dour, quite serious. Given my line of work, we crossed paths a few times, and it was not always a pleasurable encounter.

I believe blue may represent something similar to this. A mild... friction.

[derailer]

...A mild friction does sound like something the Lady Sneasler would have found herself in, while she was in control of my body.

[UNFORTUNATELY,]

for harlock.

[retroductions]

((from here))

Of course. After all, how is one to solve mysteries when one hand is forever clutched around a coffee mug? With the coffee within gone cold, no less.

[freearcadia]

[The image that brings up, well a smirk crosses his face for the moment]

Well cold coffee isn't the end of the world.

for da vinci.

[retroductions]

((from here))

Likely so, but my suggestion is that you do not try at all.

[davincible]

I won't. For now.

for ritsuka.

[retroductions]

((from here))

Not particularly, no.

[Sholmes, don't say that so easily.]

Very well. Let's go... to the costume shop! There are plenty of mirrors there.

[fujimaru]

Yeah, yeah, I get it.

[ She rolls her eyes, exaggerated, though she's not bothering to hide her smile. ]

Okay, fine, let's see if I have the same opinion as you do about the colors.

[ Surely he made a mistake, she thinks. Surely...,,,, ]

for ruggie.

[retroductions]

((from here))

Mr Ruggie! Do not say such things. I am far, far from rich, and I have created quite a fine legacy of deduction and detection for myself.

Re: for ruggie.

[rugpull]

Then yer gonna fade fast.

for sprezzatura. (probably eventually nsfw)

[retroductions]

((ooc; from here ))

[He loops his arm in hers, keeping her close, but her comment amuses him. As though she has not seen how he “comports” himself in the bedroom once before.]

You mean beyond sleeping in until the afternoon? How I miss those days back at Baker Street.

[Into their room they go! He’ll close the door behind them.]

But tonight, I would much rather focus upon certain company of which I am very, very fond of.

[velluminous]

I do not want to face anyone else yet.

[ this time she's actually referring to what his room might look like, and is just out of it enough not to realize the confusion it might cause to word it that way.

but maybe... once they're inside and she's looking around, that may become more apparent. has he personalized his room in any way? ]
