week 1 day 1

[greatdeduction]

[Well, this sure is a maze! A beautiful maze, bio-luminescent and overgrown, and angel statues littering the pathways. If Akira walks by one of said statues, however, he might see a certain detective sitting on one of its wings.]

[He gives a cheerful wave over to the other.]

I do say, I am quite lost!

[And yet here he is, vibing.]

[bloodread]

[ Akira's sense of direction isn't awful, but he's gotten lost in a bunch of places cause sometimes spirits play awful tricks you. He might not have seen Sherlock (or he might not have bothered to acknowledge him) if the detective hadn't called out to him. ]

What an impressive deduction. [ He's grumpy because guess who's lost too. ]

[greatdeduction]

Indeed. I am but a wellspring of such insightful comments.

[But he's moving to jump down from the statue, Irene in crow form flapping down to perch on his shoulder.]

I do say you are quite lost, as well. It is ever so obvious.

[bloodread]

[ I can't believe my brain autocorrected Herlock Sholmes name smh. ]

Thanks, I wouldn't have realized that without you. [ He looks at the crow, Nagako trotting in closer in wolf form, to where they're standing. ]

Can't your bird just see which way is out?

[greatdeduction]

[herlock sholmes is not here it is only sherlock holmes now]

Mm, she can see a bit at a time...she can't fly too far, you know. It makes one feel most uncomfortable!

week 2 day 2

[greatdeduction]

[Here's Sholmes, trying to gingerly walk through a field of shards. This is. Probably going to end up in disaster. His daemon, Irene, in hare form on his shoulder, looks...anxious.]

Oh, don't mind me. [He's waving!] I can't say why there's so many here!

[bloodread]

[ Nagako is padding carefully behind him because Akira has kind of learned having a daemon who slithers on the ground when there's a million glass shards on it is bad for surprisingly not obvious reasons. ]

It's like someone fucking threw out an entire store of mirrors. [ He chooses to see how Sholmes is going to navigate the field first and follow in his footsteps where surely nothing can go wrong. ]

SLAPS BACK INTO HERE SORRY FOR THE WAIT

[greatdeduction]

Yes. It's quite horrific, really. As if someone wished to catch me in a trap. But I, a great detective, will not simply fall into-

[A trap.]

[He steps on a shard, and a series of memories plays.]

[He stands, distant.]

its ok! <3

[bloodread]

[ Akira's seen a lot this week, but this may be the first time he's seen a memory like this. It's an entirely new experience for him and it catches him off-guard, the warm emotions mixed with sadness and ah, the baby. ]

...sorry. [ He looks off himself into the distance, Nagako coming closer to sit right by him. ]

I didn't know you two were like that. [ He doesn't address the other person, the other man, because that might just hit a little too close to home. ]

[greatdeduction]

...

[He just closes his eyes for a moment, and then huffs, shaking his head - as if he's shaking off a cloud of smog.]

It's quite alright. The past is the past. I still stay in touch, but...

[Well. Things aren't like they were before.]

week 3 day 1

[greatdeduction]

[This is probably sometime after they all woke up in the houses - anyways, he's here after he's obviously had a bath. He's dressed in his clothes, but he's dabbing at his hair with a towel, turning back towards Akira.]

Ah, good day. Have you yet gone to explore, my dear fellow?

[bloodread]

[ Blink, Akira may never get used to Sholmes speech. ]

Not yet. You feeling up to it after Saturday?

[greatdeduction]

Yes, actually. Fresh air does a head good, and although I still feel a bit dizzy at times...I am better.

[A smile.]

It's certainly a wide step away from an ocean world, yes?

[bloodread]

As long as there's no random food in cans.

[ Gross. ]

I ain't gonna stop you, but did you really fall out of a tree?

[greatdeduction]

[He snaps his fingers.]

Most assuredly, I did! It was terrible. Don't recommend the experience.

week 5 post trial

[greatdeduction]

[He's walking into the Dining Hall, like he's looking for some place without people, but...stops when he sees Akira.]

Ah. [...] Are you planning on eating?

[bloodread]

[ Akira's poking around to see if anyone is cooking something, which is a no, at least presently. ]

A guy's gotta eat, right? [ He tilts his head at Sholmes, looking him up and down to gauge his mood considering everything. ]

[greatdeduction]

Very true.

[Eating is a thing! And...he's got circles under his eyes, and he's just...exhausted overall. Like the wind has been knocked out of him.]

What was that you said, earlier? That you were in a championship? I guess a fighter...has to keep himself fed. That's important.

[bloodread]

[ Fair, all things considered. ]

Yeah, I was the champion of the UG a while ago but I quit before all of this. Probably a good thing I did, cause someone would have taken the title from me anyway by now. Fighting's straightforward, and I enjoy it.

I can't say mysteries are simple, but maybe you get it? When shit gets complicated, sticking to what you're used to helps.

[greatdeduction]

...Mm, what was it? "There is nothing more stimulating than a case where everything goes against you."

[Or...something like that.]

Mm. Good job today. As always.

week 6 day 5

[greatdeduction]

[Wherever Akira is, Sholmes is, Irene hopping behind him. He's brought him a bottle of water to drink - he was planning tea, but Akira doesn't seem like the tea, type.]

[He looks at him, concerned.]

Are you feeling better?

[bloodread]

[ He is not in fact a tea guy! Sholmes is right. He will take the bottle of water if offered! ]

I killed a bunch of people. [ Akira that is not an answer. ]

[greatdeduction]

...Ah.

[That's...........bad.]

[He frowns.]

Where were you all?

[bloodread]

Underneath the church. More experiments and shit, and bombs.

[greatdeduction]

Bombs...

[He grits his teeth.]

I heard it was...the Magisterium who behind it all. Did they say...why they were doing any of that?
