greatdeduction | PC CATCHALL WITH RIN

[Sometime later, Rin may be walking the streets when he might see a familiar figure, leaning against a wall. Sholmes is puffing away, lifting his head when he sees the other approach.]

So. You want a rematch, hm?

[He says it lightly. Clearly he's not serious.]

[After the trial, Rin can be found stomping around the city and talking to himself. Most of his mutterings are about 'stupid Qi Rong' and 'we could have understood him', which betray his line of thinking currently.

He'll stop muttering when he sees Sholmes though, unless Sholmes is sneaking up on him on purpose, in which case he'll keep ranting until he's spooked.]

[If Sholmes goes into the castle kitchen on Monday, he will see Rin holding a twisted-up piece of paper. He's staring at it intently, like something is supposed to be happening, but for the longest time it doesn't.

But then it starts to smoke a little, and Rin is suddenly grinning.]

Guess it's coming back slowly, then.

[HI SHOLMES HI

Now that there is actual food to be found, Rin has been cooking! And he is running up to Sholmes while carrying what appears to be rice covered in beans.]

Heyyyy! Hope you're hungry!

[Throwing it in here because memshare, but.

When Rin grabs for Sholmes's hand, at that moment he also steps on a glass shard, and Sholmes will get to see a very touching memory of a time long past. The words might be static at parts, but the actions are enough to show what's going on at least. Even if that man doesn't look like Rin, Rin still looks up to him.]

[Hey, Rin! Someone is pointing out something over your shoulder, at the markets. It's a cool necklace.]

Ah! Are you interested in that, my dear fellow?

[Rin is probably not interested in that it's just a random cool necklace.]

[He's knocking on the door of House 1, carrying...a tin container? Knock knock knock.]

Hello? My dear fellow...Mr. Rin. Are you there?

[Of course he's going to go see him, after all of that.]

[When he arrives, he just stares, and just. Sighs, coming closer.]

I'm sorry. [...] We weren't able to narrow down the other case as much as we'd like.

[In the time it takes for Sholmes to get Rin to House 1, Rin's cries have quieted from screaming to occasional sobs. He's still very unstable right now though, and he looks ready to collapse at any moment. Clinging to Sholmes is just about all that keeps him upright right now.

That said, being around Sholmes does seem to offer some level of comfort, given how hie crying has quieted down. Maybe he'll be able to talk soon.]

[He is. Actually going to look for Rin following the gossip event, worried after seeing the mood he was in. Irene is flying ahead as a crow, as he calls out:]

Rin! Rin...! Are you around-!

[Sometime after the CYOA group has returned, Rin can probably find Sholmes, puffing away at his pipe.]

[He seems distant, rattled, his daemon in crow form just burying her face in her wings. When he sees Rin, he blinks, giving him a smile that doesn't reach his eyes.]

Rin...are you well?

[He is definitely going looking for Sholmes. He lost a lot of people this week, didn't he? Time to check in on the good detective and see how he's doing.

...he has chocolate cookies with him too, yes.]

[I was going to have Rin be a doofus about the giant ice pit he made in the sculpture garden, but then I remembered that Sholmes is his dad now and dad got fucked up on a CYOA. So instead he's carrying a blanket in his arms while looking for Sholmes, and will eventually find him among the statues Rin didn't melt on Wednesday.]

Dude, it's freezing out here. Shouldn't you be inside?

[Hey there, Rin.]

[Someone is inside, at least! He's in the dining hall.]

[He's staring blankly at the wall.]

[Everything just happens, huh.]

[Wherever he is sitting near the church, Sholmes joins him, moving to sit next to him.]

[Irene joins him at his side in hare form, twitching her nose - he just reaches over his hand for Rin to hold, if he wants.]

Better?

[In the rush before the trial, Rin will track down Sholmes and show him something! It's a letter!]

[He'll let him read it first, and then:]

She said to show it to you, so...

[Well. 2 out of 3 isn't so bad. But Rin still doesn't feel like he won at anything when he goes looking for Sholmes.

He did remember the cookies though, so that's something. And he has a boba tea.]

[Sholmes can be found sitting on what seems to be a broken down statue near the base of the tree. He's chewing on a snack bar - Irene in beagle form is resting next to him.]

[He'll wave down at Rin.]

Ah! My dear boy! Decided to have a closer look, yes?

[They're in the land of the dead, alright! Though...he's hounding down Rin after that whole group comes up, worried.]

My dear boy...are you alright?

[Time to go find Sholmes! In the void since that's literally where they are right now lol.

But he'll hold up a fist for a fist-bump.]

Looks like we did it, huh?
