I'm going to need someone to explain the metrics of this place without mentioning the giant turtle. Before you ask; yes, I have seen it. Though seeing it does little to convince me of its authenticity. I'd never get very far if I took everything at face value.

That being said, Discussions on Science and verifiable facts only. if you intend to talk magic don't bother responding. Your input isn't needed.

[ Wow, what a pompous jerk, Sonja thinks to herself with pretty much zero personal reflection. ]

How did you 'see' the turtle, exactly?

Text

[of_deduction]

I saw the head from a distance. Hardly enough to convince me.

So you just decided 'unconvincing', and decided not to investigate further?

I mean it's pretty verifiable, we're all standing on it.

Text

[of_deduction]

That means very little to me. Show me the x-rays of this so called creature and I'll reconsider.

I don't think you'll find anyone in this city who cares enough about what you think to invent something large enough to scan a continent-sized turtle. Skepticism is healthy, but there's something to be said for other types of empirical evidence. And also just questions of motivation. Who stands to gain from tricking you, specifically, into believing that a giant turtle exists and a city lives on its back?

Honestly, it's not even the craziest thing that happens here.

Also why do you sign your texts?

[of_deduction]

I don't know. It all seems rather silly from my perspective but everything has a logical explanation.

As for the signature at the end of my texts, I often times don't text from my device so it's a habit.

You text from other people's phones?

[ Horror! ]

Text

[of_deduction]

Frequently. Where I'm from I can't run the risk my number will be recognised.

[commandandcontrol]

But you sign the texts.

[ She's missing something here. ]

Text

[of_deduction]

Not when I'm texting a suspect.

[ Okay she was getting a bit of the picture together. It made sense, but it was still annoying. ]

So you're a detective or something?

Text

[of_deduction]

Consulting Detective.

[commandandcontrol]

That's the kind of title you'd append to something to soften the blow of not being a real detective.

Text

[of_deduction]

[ Oh no she did not. ]

No, It allows me to take on only the cases I find interesting.

I won't go into exact detail because I doubt if you'd understand. When people have a problem they can't solve on their own they bring them to me. They give me the details and from there I make a deduction.

[ Oh no he didn't. ]

If you find them interesting, that is.

What qualifies?

Text

[of_deduction]

Depends on my mood.

Re: Text

[commandandcontrol]

Well, what kind of cases have you taken before?

Text

[of_deduction]

Serial murders, theft of personal property, kidnappings, criminal organisations and something of an international crime lord.
SH

Text

[commandandcontrol]

Did you catch the international crime lord?

Text

[of_deduction]

No. He blew his brains out in front of me.

[commandandcontrol]

Wow, thanks for that.

[ Find a filter, dude. ]
