[They'd agreed to a week. A week without incident, of rest and recovery. Then, the unspoken half of it went, they would go their separate ways.

But after ten whole days without another word said about moving or kicking out...

The video feed kicks on in the early afternoon, aimed at one of the plain white walls of 2-21.]

This is unacceptable.

[Sherlock Holmes is back on his feet and physically feeling much better.

Sorry, Luceti.]

I need paint, wallpaper, and glue. Lots of all of it. Where can I find it?

Also. Regarding the hideously plain excuses for furniture in this flat-- There are obviously no cabs here, so I'm going to assume there are no trucks. How am I supposed to realistically re-furnish a flat? Surely in a place where wings are mysteriously attached to people, there is something better than just carting furniture almost a kilometre.

On a final note: If a human skull shows up in the item shop, it is mine. Return it to me at Community House 2, Room 21.

(Two edits:
A. the Imperial measurement is gone. Bad Lynn. No miles. Kilometres!
B. I spaced about the "only a mile wide" thing and was looking at the scale to try and figure it out. That's fixed in the entry too, now. Sorry about that.)

[But why was it there in the first place...]

It's... not real, is it, sir...?

I wouldn't have called it a "human skull" if it were an imitation.

Perhaps this person is a dangerous person... [He mumbles to himself and decides that it's probably best that he just... doesn't ask further about it.]

I-I see... Um... Anyway! I suppose it is an inconvenience to not have any cars in this case, but... If you happen to need any help moving furniture, I would be happy to assist you.

[Not the dangerous one. But... Correcting that requires arguing, and it's really not worth it for just some random person.]

Your name? So I know who to call on when I need the assistance.

Hayate! Hayate Ayasaki. What about your name, sir?

Sherlock Holmes.

[. . .

Just a long silence on Hayate's part. Sherlock Holmes..? Is this guy for real? After a moment though, he speaks up, albeit with a bit of a dubious tone.]

Sherlock Holmes...? Isn't that the name of the detective in Arthur Conan Doyle's stories?

[ooc; I checked your permissions post, so... I hope this is okay..? If not just let me know!]

...Arthur Conan Doyle?

The Lost World Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? [How is his name connected to Doyle?]

[ooc: Totally fine!]

[He nods firmly, possibly even tilting his head a bit. Does this man not know of the Sherlock Holmes stories? ..Maybe his world just doesn't have them.]

Mm, yes! He wrote that, along with stories of a man named Sherlock Holmes. Have you not heard of them before?

I've read all of Doyle's work. [Not a bad writer, all things considered. And he can write a good detective story.]

I can tell you with full confidence that he never wrote about a Sherlock Holmes.

[..Huh. Strange.]

A-ah... I see... Perhaps those stories in particular don't exist in your home world then.

[This is so strange.

But... now. Now, he's curious. Very curious. This is something to show to John later.]

[It doesn't seem like this man's making up a false name, so...]

But um.. It's very nice to meet you, Sher-- Holmes-san! [Even if he's used to referring to the name as simply 'Sherlock,' he should probably stick to the last-name-and-honorific thing, right? Yeah, he'll do that.]

If you're curious about the stories, I'm sure they must have them in the library here.

I'll have to look them up.

Ah, okay! I hope you enjoy them, Holmes-san. I hear they're very good stories. [He never got to read them at home, really. ...Or many novels at all, for that matter.]

[Priority list:
1. Get rid of the white walls.
2. Get new furniture.
3. Decorate flat to a liveable condition.
4. Go to library to look for "Holmes" Doyle books.

This will do.

...And he just closed the journal. Not good at polite leavings.]
