week 1 day five

[greatdeduction]

[Well, here's Sholmes! Except...something might be different, here. He's walking along, Irene at his feet in beagle form, but...he stumbles, suddenly, but is able to right himself before he falls.]

Ah, like the ground is coming up to meet me...

[His voice is a little slow? But what's more noticeable, however, is the wine bottle in his hand.]

[magichammer]

[ wow, Ulrika had just been minding her own business, ready to leave the area as soon as she caught sight of Sholmes when

she seems him stumble? which is a bit odd, to say the least. she's seen him do all sorts of bizarre contortions while suspended, and practically sprint through that wrecked ship - stumbling seems a bit out of character. ]

Whoa, hey, are you alright?

[ stumble once for "spectre attack", twice for "sea monster strike" ]

[greatdeduction]

Mm? Yes?

[And he looks up at her, just smiling.]

Most certainly. Never been better. How are you?

[magichammer]

I'm fine! Yesterday was a pain, but what can you do.

[ ... ]

Are you sure you're alright?

[ she even glances at Irene to see if there's anything wrong with the poor beagle ]

[greatdeduction]

Yesterday? What happened yesterday?

[Irene seems normal? But looking closely, she's a bit wobbly on her feet...]

Absolutely, yes. Why wouldn't I be?

[magichammer]

You know, the stupid treasure hunt thing? And I think I heard some screaming about crabs...?

[ Albin the ferret will scurry down from Ulrika's shoulder to approach Irene and chirp at her curiously. ]

Do you have amnesia, or is this your memory deletion thing again? I told you it'd come back to bite you eventually!

[greatdeduction]

Ah, yes. The treasure. The diamonds in the bread...

[????????????]

[And he actually lets out a bitter laugh at that. Irene lets out a low whine.]

Oh, dear me. If only I could erase memories at will. Wouldn't that be something?

[magichammer]

[ ????????????? "???????????" in all caps???? ]

What's wrong with you? Are you drunk or something?

[ she says even though she still hasn't seen the wine bottle ]

[greatdeduction]

No.

[Making like a little 🤏 gesture.]

Mmmm. No, not yet.

[magichammer]

Not... yet?

[greatdeduction]

Haven't drunk enough yet. Right now...just a bit, only a bit.

[He's tipsy that's all!!]

1/2

[magichammer]

[ only a bit... ah... ]

2/2

[magichammer]

[




ah ]

I can't believe I was worried about you! Rum pot! Drunkard! Lush!

[greatdeduction]

...

[He just stares at her for a moment, before tipping his hat forward to hide his eyes.]

Believe me, madam, this is most unusual for me. But one can't help it, given the circumstances.

[magichammer]

What d'you mean, "Can't help it?" Where'd you even find that stuff anyways? Do you even know if it's safe?!

[ maybe it's full of food poisoning

but wine ]

[greatdeduction]

I've eaten worse things, my dear madam.

[DON'T JUST ADMIT THAT]

Ah, but...the days have been hard, you know. [And he just seems...sullen.] Quite hard, indeed.

[magichammer]

[ uh? what... is this ]

I mean, it hasn't been great, but it could be a lot worse? Probably?

[greatdeduction]

...

[He snaps his fingers at her.]

The power you got with your coin, last week. What was it?

[magichammer]

[ ??????????? ]

W-what are you saying? It was the rhyming thing, I didn't do anything to you!

[ he didn't accuse you of anything though... ]

[greatdeduction]

...

[STARING AT HER]

Don't lie.

[magichammer]

[ hello??????? ]

I'm not lying! What's wrong with you?! First you run off and get drunk off mystery wine, then you accuse me of doing stuff I didn't do?!

[greatdeduction]

[Reaches out.]

[Clenches her shoulder.]

I won't be mad. Did you curse me, or not?

[magichammer]

[ Albin shifts to a hyena and starts growling. back up, buster ]

I didn't, why would I?! Curses aren't my thing! And mad? If anything, I'm the one that's gonna be mad if you don't knock it off!

[greatdeduction]

...

[He just...withdraws?]

[And just. Looks out at the distance.]

...There are people here who think it rather funny to make others into entertainment. [His eyebrows furrow.] I simply hope you wouldn't be one of them.

[magichammer]

Ohhhhhhh no, you don't get to just play it off like that. You owe me an apology!

[ Albin's still growling at Sholmes and Irene too ]

Did something happen, or not? And why are you freaking out at me?
