Sherlock Or Mikotoba How Did You Meet???

To er12eu

Hi Rosie 🥀

You might be dead but do you KNOW that I love you???

Hi ace-chaser!

I may be dead, this is true, but I am so glad to know that you love me!

I am confused how you know me, though...

Love, Rosie!

not an ask but... Can I take your barber juror head canon name (Aiden Richmond) and run away with it? 👉👈 I am having so many silly hcs where he's Redacted's personal barber and one of the few friends they had before they went to jail 👀

Hello hello!

I see no reason why not! I'm very happy to share the Aiden Richmond name with whoever wants to use it. I would love to hear about your headcanons, and this silly situation with Redacted.

Signed, Mod of the Baskervilles

kazuma-sama you are so right as suaul to be upset over the serving of grouse it is far too close to chicken. its clearly a fowl. van zieks should have known better and surely he put it on the menu to slight you

Ribbonroad,

I am so pleased to know that you agree with me on how rude and inconsiderate it was of him to do something like this to me. I cannot bring such things up with Iris, Lestrade, Holmes, or even van Zieks' pet scientist, as they all insist that I should have calmed down and listened to him.

I do not want to calm down and listen. It is not a thing that I am wont to do.

Fondly, Asougi Kazuma

Hello genshin,

What do you like about dogs?

Best,

Greetings,

I would have to say that I am not typically a dog person. However, there are some very noble qualities about them that I can truly respect. They are noble, charming, handsome... They are extremely loyal to those that they love.

I cannot help but adore them for their enthusiasm for everything they do. They love fully and unashamedly. They will immediately let you know whether they are happy or upset. They cannot help but wag their tails when they are pleased, or tuck them between their legs when they have done something wrong. They feel everything fully. They express everything fully. It is so easy not only to understand them but also to grow attached to them.

I do truly love some dogs, though I have only met a few in my life.

Thank you, Genshin Asougi

What is the best Creature?

To anon.

I actually did quite a bit of work under a veterinarian when I was still living with my parents. I wanted to apprentice under him but my parents did not want this, so it was a bit of a secret apprenticeship. It was quite a bit of fun, and absolutely fascinating, but those years are long past.

Tat being said, my favorite animal is the humble pig. They are ferocious creatures with a strong personality and a penchant for eating anything. Quite literally anything, aside from metal. And that is certainly not for lack of trying, I simply believe they cannot process such a food. In fact, I know of only one animal brave enough to eat metal, that being the goat, though that is neither here nor there.

Pigs are intelligent creatures and I admire their tenacity. When I was younger, I would pretend an old ear of corn or an undesirable wooden crate was an effigy of whatever had been frustrating me lately. I learned later that there is a similar process in the South called voodoo. Fascinating stuff.

I hope this satisfies you. Enoch Drebber

Dear Mr. Stronghart,

How are you feeling? I know it must not be the best but it is a formal thing to ask. I was the one who had given you the carved wooden bird and I was wondering if you liked it. I'm by no means an expert on wood carving, but I like to do it when my older brother is busy so I'd like to think I've gotten good at it!

Sincerely,

-T.V.Z.

To T. V. Z.,

I have been living in the dark for quite some time. I long for unbiased news from the aboveground as I rot in this pit of Hades. I am surrounded by the deranged people whom I had the misfortune of knowing in my first life, though I have been blissfully separated from them, as I am at a high risk for being attacked. I spend my time writing. There is quite a lack of things I am allowed to do.

I did quite enjoy the bird you gave me. I am not allowed to have violent instruments such as whittling tools or knives with which to cut my food (if the food were better than the bland slop they feed me). It was nice to see the work that went into it. I ran my fingers down every crevasse, feeling the mistakes, the details, the knots within the wood.

It has given me something to do, and I have noticed that my fingers are so often on the bird that the natural oils produced by man have begun to naturally weather the wood into a smoother texture, far more pleasing to the touch.

Signed, Mael Stronghart.

P. S. - I notice your unusual initials. Would you, perchance, be related to the van Zieks family?

Klimt van Zieks, Where does your first name come from? It seems more like a last name to me..

Dear Anon,

In terms of things I disliked about my parents, one that certainly stood out was their pretentiousness. Yes, Klimt is most certainly a last name. It was taken from a man that my parents met upon their world travels, a man who was very talented in the art of decorating things in gold.

My brother was named after the Baroque period of art, especially the more golden paintings. I am certain you may be beginning to see a theme.

They loved putting up appearances. Our names were simply further steps in that.

Inquiry towards the members of the van zeiks household

We are writing to you in regards to rumors of items contained within the van zeiks manor. We would like to know the validity of the claim that you are in possession of one “dragon skeleton”. If authentic, that would be one of the most monumental discoveries in the history of our great country. While many members have their doubts, it was not that long ago that we discovered that the once mythical okapi was indeed a a living breathing beast. We a truly living in an age of discovery. In addition, we have also been informed of the possible possession of many exotic specimens, both living and preserved. Access to such a collection would be instrumental in helping our organization in our scientific endeavors.

We are eagerly awaiting any further information you wish to provide.

-Zoological Society of London

With regards to the Zoological Society of London,

I understand that this may be quite disappointing, but it must be said that I cannot believe in the possibility of dragons. While I do not study science as much as some of my acquaintances, I believe I understand enough to know that such a creature would not be able to lift its body off of the ground. With that out of the way, I do know what specimen you are speaking of.

The late Lord and Lady van Zieks, my mother and father, were braggarts, to put it bluntly. I do not know precisely where they sourced their bones, though I do believe it was from Africa. I do not know if they themselves put this skeleton together in such a state or if they were tricked into buying it, but, that being said... It's not a dragon skeleton. My best guess would be a large animal such as a giraffe, a hippopotamus, or an elephant.

There are many things that my late parents decorated our homes with, things that I am not very attached to. That being said, I highly doubt any of these things would be of much interest to such a group of scientists. They had owned an exotic snake, cheetah, baboon, and possibly even more animals, though as such animals led to the death of my father, we did not keep these animals.

I am willing to answer any further inquiries on this subject.

Lord Barok van Zieks

Henry

My dear cousin Henry,

I have solved your little puzzle and I must say, I fear for you. Truly, I do. I do not know what fate awaits you, but I can only plead for you to find some way to avert it. Holmesies and I will find some way to discover the truth about your circumstances if the need be, but I hope it does not have to come to that.

With great concern, Iris

Dear Irene,

Does Yuujin know about you or how important you are to Sherlock? How does he feel about you?

This ask is gonna be really silly for people who don’t know about your version of Irene.

Dear Anon,

Of course my dear partner knows about me. He is well aware of me, who I am, how I differ from Sherlock. He is proud to go on about town with a stunning figure like myself on his arms. He is practically the talk of the town when he does so. I know he feels differently for me than he does for Sherlock, and I cannot blame him for that. It is easier for the two of us than it is for the two of them. I am certain you can understand why.

That being said, he brings joy to me and I to him. In the end, that is all that matters.

Love, Irene Holmes
