Barok,

(chucks chuunosuke at sherlock) woe. chuunosuke be upon ye

Whoa!

This adorable thing Iris has created seems to have a life of its own, and is rather fond of climbing into my hair! I thought I had finally escaped its insatiable wrath for tormenting me, and yet it continues to find me again and again.

He climbs my sleeves, tugs my ears, nestles in my hair, and takes naps in there. I have no idea how Iris has managed something like this. I wish I could stay mad at something like that.

With Chuunosuke, Sherlock Holmes

Mod Post: Thank You!

Thank everyone for all the asks they've sent in so far! I've gotten at least 6 asks tonight alone, and am working on posting answers for them. I'm having so much fun you would not believe working on this.

To the anon who sent the super long ask, I love it so much and I can't thank you enough for sending it. The answer will be out in a few days, as I have posts queued to be 3 a day for now so as to not run out of material. I may make it be more if I end up getting more asks.

Thank you all! I love you guys!

Signed, Mod of the Baskervilles

Dear father,

I found the letter you send to my brother and I'm very confused my brother had been away for some time and for him to request something like this is strange. Because you see Miss Karma and my brother Henry had been very close very close I might add. So I don't think my brother would request to destroy evidence like that in fact when it came to a case he would gladly look it over again making sure everything is not fishy about it. May I say that also My brother is planning to look over Miss Karma’s case again after he is back from his trip so I don't think he would want to destroy any evidence about the case? Maybe you got the wrong letter by chance.

Your daughter,

Heather Van zikes

Dear Heather,

I must encourage you to be careful engaging in this matter. I would not be surprised if your brother is in serious danger. I would keep any news about your brother to a minimum in case your letters are being monitored. While it is unlikely, it is always a possibility. I do not believe he would want to destroy evidence if he was still interested in it, and would not be surprised if there were some sort of third party involved here.

To Albert and/or Barok- Are you fond of desserts? If so, which ones? Signed, Ivy

Dear Ivy,

Can you believe! That there are some people who don't enjoy desserts? Preposterous! What could be more delicious than some sort of sweet treat?!

Since the dawn of humanity we've been searching out fruits for their incredible taste, and now there are some people who, when given the chance, turn down the opportunity to eat such things? Whenever I try to cook something it ends up horribly burnt, tasteless, terrible! And yet! Although Barok has people to cook for him, who do it well, who never burn anything, he turns it down! Cakes and pies, biscuits and jams, all sorts of flavored ices and small candies!

It baffles the mind! It boggles the brain! I must off to go take some desserts now, all this talk has upset me...

Can ghosts of dead characters interact with the living characters? 👻

Hello!

I think that ghost characters can interact with the living characters. I cannot say that the stuff within those conversations will remain canon, if that makes sense? For example, if Klimt tells Barok some information he didn't know before, he probably wouldn't be able to recall it, but I think if they've talked before he would be able to remember it again.

Maybe he'd remember it like a dream, or something? It's tough, because this is technically happening through letters, but I would like to see some interactions like that happen. The one thing is, if someone sends an ask from a character but it feels too out of character, I may not answer it.

I hope that makes sense! Signed, Mod of the Baskervilles

Sherlock, did you get your partner's letter? - 💜

My dear 💜,

I am very pleased to announce that yes, I have received my partner's letter. I can only assume he answered as quickly as possible, which delighted me more than I can state. The contents of this letter, I cannot share, but let it be known that my melancholic violin playing was unwarranted.

Suffice it to say, I shall be purchasing a boat ticket soon!

Signed, Sherlock Holmes

To Albert and Barok let’s just say you two had twins a boy and a girl what would you name the kids?

What a delightfully difficult question, anon!

As may not surprise you, I haven't put much thought into having children. I hope I do not need to explain why. That being said, I brought it up with Barok and we both have some things of note about names. I personally believe that twins should have names beginning with the same letters, and he truly enjoys the idea of naming children after plants.

I suggested Henry or Henrietta, and perhaps Harold. Maybe Harry. He thought that perhaps we could go with Heather and Hyacinth. I don't believe I can narrow it down from that list without any help! I have a hard enough time making other, even less important decisions.

What a thought, though. I love it! Albert Harebrayne

To juror n3 AKA Magical Waluigi

I am a reporter from the independent newspaper The Daily Circus. While investigating Mr Enoch Drebber's past fraudulent exploits, an anonymous source from the man's vicinity has expressed that you were once present at the enineer's workshop and were presumably **a client of his**.

How do you respond to the allegations?

Mr Nos E. Prick

Dear Sir Prick,

Of course I was a client of his. You forget that, in addition to his scientific fraud, he was also a magician. He made science look like magic, but, more importantly, he made magic look like science. Even a great liar can still have his truths.

P.S. Who is this... Waluigi? Fellow?

lord van zieks, in another universe where the. issues. didnt happen, could you picture yourself being lifelong friends with asougi genshin-san? and dont give me an excuse like "its useless to entertain such possibilities", i just want your answer to the hypothetical

To Ribbonroad,

I have spent quite a bit of time wondering the same thing myself. Considering his child Kazuma, he most likely would have returned to Japan within a few years. After that, it is simply a matter of whether or not we would be able to remain in contact. The two of us were rather close, and I would have liked to continue talking to him, though I did notice him begin to give our family distance after Klimt married.

I fear Asougi--or, that is to say, Genshin--would have drifted away from me once he left. I would still have patiently awaited every letter from him, but I fear he made a far bigger impact on me than I did on him. It would have been quite upsetting to see him go.

Signed, Lord Barok van Zieks.

mr holmes on a scale of 1-10 how babygirl is professor mikotoba

My dear Ribbon,

I'm afraid I don't quite know the definition of the term you're using. Yuujin is a very mature man, which I suppose would make him the opposite of a baby girl? Though your use of it as an adjective rather than a noun compels me.

Yuujin is a man with a great wealth of knowledge and experience. After we had parted for ten years, he came back with a significant amount of grey in his hair. He had a delightfully well trimmed moustache to match, as well... it took everything in me to focus on the astonishing importance of the case I was on, rather than admiring my partner.

I would give him a 10, regardless of his babygirl-ness. Sherlock Holmes
