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.

Ah, good. We're in the market for one of those, I believe.

Hmm. A good trait, indeed, in a detective. But a rather boring one in a human being. Which, pardon the assumption. We get all sorts here, but 'human being' tends to be the default for new arrivals.

Though there is someone here who I think is supposed to be a rock...?

Oh believe me, I'm not boring.

[ He was going to leave it at that for dramatic effect but he can't let that last part go. ]

I'm sorry, part rock?

[Gene, if you roll your eyes so hard at someone else's melodramatics, they might get stuck that way. Also, the hypocrisy god will bop you on the head.]

Then prove me wrong. Like I said. Keeliai Police Department can use another detective, and if you're half as good as you seem to think you are, then you'll be a fine asset.

No, all rock. Apparently so. Bright green, hair like a triangle, about four feet tall, counting the hair. Can't miss her.

The name is Sherlock Holmes and I'm a consulting detective. Which means I only occasionally work with the police.


As for your rock-person, I haven't seen anyone like that though I'll certainly keep an eye out.

[Unlike some people (Tony), Gene actually does have a poker face, so he doesn't react, but he files that name away. Interesting.] That so? Enjoy occasionally eating, then.

[Gene, you fool! He already does!]

Still, couldn't hurt to show your face. Unless your face, too, may be seen only by appointment.

It's not just the police that are in need my skills.

[ Besides, he doesn't need to eat much. Digesting only slows him down. ]

And was that your not-so-subtle way of suggesting a video call? There might be a reason I've opted to use the text feature.

Not at all. If I need you, I'll find you, Sherlock Holmes.

[Friendly, or menacing? You decide! Maybe it's a little of both. Friendacing.]

I meant coming to visit the police department. Valdis might be willing to hire you on as a consultant if you impress her.

[Well, now he's just trying to rile you a little, Sherlock.]

No need to sound so confident. If I made myself a difficult man to find many of my clients would be out of luck.

I have every intention of going to police station after I've settled in a bit more. As it is, I have a lot of reading to catch up on.

Is that so? What sort of reading?

text;

[of_deduction]

Well if I'm going to have to stay here I'll need to brush up on the laws, and history of this place.

College library's the place for that, then. I can give you a rundown of the recent history if you like, since I've been here for several years.

[of_deduction]

Yes, actually. that would be tremendously helpful.
