Deduction 2 - [ video ]

[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.)

A darkness corridor. We use them to get around. You can cross big distances and even go between worlds with them. [ A little sheepishly. ] That second part doesn't work here, of course. But it's really useful for getting around, which is why I suggested it. But we don't have to if you don't want to.

How does it work?

[Because if this is possible-- if-- then there must be logic. Something about deep space and worm holes-- things picked up from some of the films and old telly programs John likes to make him watch-- that he simply never paid attention to while in school.

Things that should otherwise be useless but matter here.]

You know ... I'm not really sure. I only ever understood the basics. [ She looks down at her hand. ]

There's darkness in every world. People like me can access that darkness and move through it, like a short cut. But you can't do it too much. [ ... does she explain what the darkness can do to a heart? No, best not. He might spook again. ] A few trips for some furniture would be safe, though.
