[Exhausted:]

Do answer the question, please.

[third_alternative]

I got some love potion type thing, why?

...you think someone used a coin power on you?

[greatdeduction]

[Oh.]

[He snaps his fingers at Rex.]

Tell me. Quickly. How does it work?

[third_alternative]

What? Uh, if I use it, it's supposed to give me a bottle of love potion that I can use on two people? I think I have to make them drink it.

[greatdeduction]

...Drink it?

[Hm. Hmmmmmmmm.]

[Now he's just lost in thought.]

[third_alternative]

[ raises an eyebrow ]

You think your wine's been spiked?

[greatdeduction]

Oh, not this. I only started drinking this today, my dear fellow.

[third_alternative]

Any particular occasion?

[greatdeduction]

Oh, yes.

The occasion of a grand mess.

[third_alternative]

A mess, huh? [ especially one by THIS weirdo's standards?? this has gotta be good ] What kind of mess we talking here?

[ (marie kondo voice) i love mess ]

[greatdeduction]

...One that relates to curses. And one that I don't quite care for.

[third_alternative]

Dang. That bad, huh?

[greatdeduction]

Almost certainly.

[And a frown.]

...I don't think anyone wants to be the butt of anyone else's joke.

[third_alternative]

[ can't tell if sholmes is actually this upset, or if he's just a sad drunk

either way, rex doesn't like it. i take it back, he doesn't love mess ]

...alright, well. This? [ gestures up and down at Sholmes and the wine bottle in hand ] This isn't gonna be helping anyone. So maybe let's just...get you to bed?

[ that's what you do with drunk people right?? ]

[greatdeduction]

No, no, I'm fine, my dear boy.

[He pinches the bridge of his nose, lets out a sigh, and then seems to collect himself. Like, still definitely wobbling, but a bit more collected.]

Regardless...the time for such things can be put aside. One needs only look towards the mysteries at hand and put our focus there.

[third_alternative]

[ looking him over ]

...yeeeaaaaah, you don't exactly look like you're ready to do any solving today.

[greatdeduction]

Oh this? This is nothing. You know, one time I got shot, and I still solved a mystery after the surgery! Haha.

[DON'T JUST ADMIT THIS CASUALLY]

[third_alternative]

Correctly?

[greatdeduction]

Absolutely, yes!

[third_alternative]

Well...congrats, I guess. [ if he actually did solve it properly. which, rex isn't sure he did. he's not sure he trusts sholmes to be honest here--or to even truthfully know if he did at all. ]

But seriously? This isn't a good look on you, man. Go...sleep it off or whatever, I don't know.

[greatdeduction]

Thank you, yes. Why, I even snuck out of the hospital to finish the deed and bring the necessary evidence to light. A great detective never rests.

[why is he like this]

Hm. And to which I say...I cannot "sleep it off". Not when there's so much to solve. SO much to do. This is only a...momentary hiccup, yes.

[third_alternative]

You...do sleep, though. Right? Like, every day?

[greatdeduction]

I do my best! Except for that time where I made the postulation that I couldn't oversleep by not sleeping at all! And that...was a bust.

[third_alternative]

You mean eventually you just passed out.

[greatdeduction]

Eventually I just passed out, yes!

[DON'T JUST AGREE]
