Mr Drebber,

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

(squints at the masked disciple) who do i know this man

Ribbonroad.

This man, this thing, is a husk of myself. I am no longer the masked disciple, a name I despise as it implies I had anything to learn from either Vortex or van Zieks. I despise the both of them, and this unwilling servant of the two of them is not someone I want to associate with.

Mod update: today's asks

I've worked on answering all the asks that I have for today, and they're all saved as drafts. Queuing is being weird, and so I have to publish them by hand. I am attempting restraint in not posting them all at once, but don't be surprised if they post in weird intervals.

I'm loving all the asks so far! Feel free to keep them coming!!

Sherlock, did you get your partner's letter? - 💜

My dear 💜,

I am very pleased to announce that yes, I have received my partner's letter. I can only assume he answered as quickly as possible, which delighted me more than I can state. The contents of this letter, I cannot share, but let it be known that my melancholic violin playing was unwarranted.

Suffice it to say, I shall be purchasing a boat ticket soon!

Signed, Sherlock Holmes

Susato, have you ever questioned your gender?

-⚙️ (yeah I'm new here! I like ur style of writing)

Dear ⚙️,

This is something that I debated on sharing with anyone. It took me a long time to be able to figure out how to word it to myself. Since that first day I dressed myself as Ryuutarou, I've felt drawn to his clothes. Er, my clothes, that is. The clothes that my father and I modified for that day.

I think of Ryuutarou as something different from Susato, as I have not been able to reconcile the two in my mind. I do not want them to be separate, I want to find some way to accept the feelings I have towards my situation in court, the way I was treated, how Haori interacted with me... it's not easy.

Looking back on some of the Sherlock Holmes stories, I noted that he on occasion would dress as a woman to disguise himself. Perhaps if I brought up my feelings on the matter to my father, then, a man who knows Sherlock so intimately, he may be able to help me sort through these emotions.

With love.... Ryuutarou.

Dear father,

I found the letter you send to my brother and I'm very confused my brother had been away for some time and for him to request something like this is strange. Because you see Miss Karma and my brother Henry had been very close very close I might add. So I don't think my brother would request to destroy evidence like that in fact when it came to a case he would gladly look it over again making sure everything is not fishy about it. May I say that also My brother is planning to look over Miss Karma’s case again after he is back from his trip so I don't think he would want to destroy any evidence about the case? Maybe you got the wrong letter by chance.

Your daughter,

Heather Van zikes

Dear Heather,

I must encourage you to be careful engaging in this matter. I would not be surprised if your brother is in serious danger. I would keep any news about your brother to a minimum in case your letters are being monitored. While it is unlikely, it is always a possibility. I do not believe he would want to destroy evidence if he was still interested in it, and would not be surprised if there were some sort of third party involved here.

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

Dear sister,

Who is the man living in our house? The tall one with the white hair. Why is he here? Did you allow him into the home… on purpose?

-Barok

[modverse]

Dear Barok,

I have grown rather fond of the strange man living in your house. He is so very fun to watch! He sits upon any surface open to him, crawling inside of cabinets, bathtubs, closets, fireplaces... He reminds me of a feral cat in a very charming way.

As for who let him in, it was actually you! Benjamin asked you if he could have a friend visit, and that person just so happened to be Enoch. It seems you may be stuck with him, as he appears to be rather happy there.

Best of luck!! Rosie

Dear Fathers and everyone,

Today was the day where Henry was going to have his trial.

And to cut it short so my tears no longer would drown the paper with my sorrows.

Henry Kilnt Van Zikes also known as the Storyteller of The Bailey was sentenced to death that day.

I knew he wasn’t guilty but knew that I couldn’t prove it otherwise and his attorney didn't even care for my brother’s life. he just wanted to be over with it

So yeah that's what happened.

But the only good news that I have right now is that I'm Pregnant with my fiance Lord Blackquill’s child.

We are planning to get married soon.

That's all I have to say for now

With love

Heather Kelly Van zikes

To Heather,

I cannot express how sorry I am that this happened. I wish I could have been there to help you. I wish someone could have been there in my stead. Most importantly, I wish that your brother was still alive.

I am sorry that I cannot be there now to comfort you. I hope only that you can surround yourself with friends and loved ones, and keep yourself safe from the cruelty that the world can sometimes bring.

Mournfully yours, Naruhodou Ryuunosuke.

lord van zieks, in another universe where the. issues. didnt happen, could you picture yourself being lifelong friends with asougi genshin-san? and dont give me an excuse like "its useless to entertain such possibilities", i just want your answer to the hypothetical

To Ribbonroad,

I have spent quite a bit of time wondering the same thing myself. Considering his child Kazuma, he most likely would have returned to Japan within a few years. After that, it is simply a matter of whether or not we would be able to remain in contact. The two of us were rather close, and I would have liked to continue talking to him, though I did notice him begin to give our family distance after Klimt married.

I fear Asougi--or, that is to say, Genshin--would have drifted away from me once he left. I would still have patiently awaited every letter from him, but I fear he made a far bigger impact on me than I did on him. It would have been quite upsetting to see him go.

Signed, Lord Barok van Zieks.
