Sherlock and Iris,

What is your favorite disguise that holmes has created?

Dear anon!

My favorite disguise my Papa has is that of an old and weary fisherman. He does a silly voice, he uses his old pipe, puts on shabby clothes, he even has a fake moustache! It's utterly delightful. He fits in perfectly in that role, you may have even bumped into him once in that outfit without you knowing. He truly disappears into that fisherman.

His favorite disguise is that of Irene, another character he can vanish into. He often asks for my help preparing Irene, doing her hair, rouging her cheeks, and so on. You can see the love he has for her. It is incredible to see.

Thank you for asking!! Love, Iris

Dear Sherlock and Mikotoba,

You two make an iconic duo. Between the two of you, who would you say is the Sinjin and who is the Burf? This is for science… I eagerly look forward to your response.

Dear anon,

I have absolutely no idea to what you refer! That being said, I can tell you for scientific fact! That I am a Sinjin, and my dear Yuujin is a Burf. Perhaps if I get further information I would consider changing my mind, but I know deep in my gut that my initial reaction is correct.

mr holmes, im sure you corresponded with dr mikotoba during your separation, so how did you hide that correspondence from iris? i cant imagine it was easy

My dear Ribbonroad,

It was indeed rather difficult to hide such a thing from such a precocious young lady. Fortunately for me, she is quite good at understanding my need for privacy! I did not lie to her per se, but she took to thinking that such things were secrets that could affect the outcome of various cases I was on. I simply indulged that belief of hers.

She did sometimes try to sneak a glance at our letters, but she knew better than to take them from my hands. She understood the need for my own privacy, as I gave her hers in turn. I know that Iris was intrigued by the contents of the letters mainly because she recognized the handwriting of my most dear partner.

Perhaps someday I shall share some snippets of our correspondences with her. Some, however, are a dearly private matter between the two of us.

Aha!

My dear fellow, it seems you have sent me an amateur puzzle. Fortunately for you, I am an amateur puzzle master, and therefore puzzed over this for about a minute.

It is clear that the first letter of every word is what is important, though I also wanted to see if there were any sort of deeper meaning to the words themselves. While there is not much in the beginning, there were a few words that caught my attention, those being 'key ask request mine attorney'.

As this is coming from an attorney, I am gathering that you are in some sort of deep trouble. Last not me, be careful, Karma. Or, perhaps, Last not me, be careful karma. Or, last, not me, be careful, karma. Or, last, not, m-you get my point.

What I gather, no matter what, is that we all must be quite careful.

Yours, Sherlock Holmes

To anyone,

WHY WEREN’T YOU AT ELF PRACTICE?

🎅

Ah, St. Nicholas!

Ah! My good fellow, I knew there was something I was forgetting. I am afraid it rather slipped my mind, as I had various cases going on in the foggy December evenings. I studied dentistry, astrology, heraldry, zoology... Elfistry somehow fell by the wayside.

My deepest apologies! I shall be better next time.

With love, Sherlock Holmes

dear sherlock holmes: do any of mr mikotobas friends ever ask you to dance. if yes, do they say "go white boy, go" and if not, would you dance for them hypothetically

Dearest Ribbonroad,

I'm afraid to bring the mood down, but Yuujin does seem to be running out of friends. That being said, Jigoku was a rather large fan of the term 'jig', and therefore he and I ended up doing a lively jig together whenever we saw one another.

He did not use the phrase you mentioned, as I have never heard anyone use that phrase before. As for if I would dance for him... Ah, it would be hard to say no!

(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.

Dear Mr. Holmes, erm, it's Gina. Inspector Gina Lestrade. You know who I am, we've met. This is probably a stupid question, but... would I be able to come live at Baker Street? Asougi can sleep on the floor. He said he's waiting on a special bed to come in for him. Or I could sleep in the same bed as him. Or I could sleep on the floor! I've certainly slept in worse places.

Inspector Lestrade!

How nice it is to hear from you! I have certainly been wondering if I would receive a request of such kind. There is always a spare couch at Baker Street if you so desire. You needn't pay rent if you cannot afford it, though I would certainly appreciate a spare bit of money. I am an avid spender! My methods are occasionally quite costly.

That being said, you are very near and dear to my family. It is clear that both Kazuma and Iris care for you quite a large amount. Kazuma has received the futon he was waiting on and therefore you could sleep in his old bed if you so desire, so long as you can put up with his general restlessness and tendency to stay up well into the night.

Please, come and enjoy dinner with us, if nothing else! Sit by the fire, recount some of your investigations for us, visit Iris's garden. We would love to have you.

Dear Mr. sholmes

While I know you use your great powers of deduction exclusively for good, with only the occasional frivolity. What would you do if you decided to pursue more unlawful activities? An evil alter ego perhaps?

Best,

My dear,

I am glad to hear that you have such an opinion of me! I will admit, there are times wherein I will commit a crime if I think it will right a wrong, though I do prefer to be on the side of the law.

In terms of my more unlawful activities, I do think it would be interesting to describe a theoretical crime that may be done, with just enough clues to solve it, and if the individuals I give such a puzzle to cannot figure it out, the crime would commence. Does that make sense? What a puzzle!

Signed, Detective Herlock Sholmes

P.S. - I do quite enjoy the indecipherable symbol you've sent me! It happened to puzzle me.

dearest mr holmes (or do you prefer mr sholmes?), i recently heard the most melancholy of... violin sounds (i am not certain it could be called a tune) emmitting from your home. i hope you are much recovered now! i cannot help but wonder what had you in such a state? with much love & concern,🌾

Dearest 🌾,

To answer your first question, I prefer Holmes, though I will certainly answer to both. I, in fact, will answer to just about anything. I am always listening, even when you think I am not.

As for your second question...

I assure you, normally I am quite an excellent violinist. You pinned down the issue exactly when you deduced it was caused by a great deal of sadness. I was exceptionally melancholy, having sent off a letter to my partner with no idea when I may receive a response. I was lonely.

Iris comforted me. Kazuma confided in me that he has experienced similar issues, though he was sending letters to Naruhodou, Susato, and my partner alike. I suppose the two of us will remain together in our misery until we get some sort of exciting postage.

Sherlock Holmes...

To Herlock Sholmes,

Take this!

Is this true, Mr. Sholmes? If so, do you have any favorite disguises of this kind in particular?

Your fan,

Mod Athena

Dear Mod Athena,

How did you access such a photo, and such a caption no less? I was unaware of any sort of camera in the room at Baker Street.

That being said, yes! I do have quite a closet of disguises. I can change into any person within a matter of minutes, it is one of my greatest skills. None but my partner have seen the true extent of this. I have bustles and blouses, facial hair and wigs, hats, pipes, canes, shabby and beautiful clothes, all sorts of things I have bought and scrounged and collected over the course of many, many years.

I am particularly fond of a character by the name of Irene. I greatly enjoy becoming Irene. She was named after a fantastic woman I once met, who changed how I view the world. I cannot thank her enough for this. The idea of becoming a woman to change other people's view of the world... it pleases me greatly.

Additionally, there is no better feeling than confusing all of my partner's friends by dressing up as different women every night. It made him seem quite the suave fellow!

Thank you for asking! Herlock Sholmes

To a Mr Herlock Sholmes,

Whatdo you know about Moriarty?

Trace.

Dear Trace,

Ah, Moriarty. That is a name I haven't heard in quite some time! Quite a caper, that was. My partner and I were on his tail for months, trying to suss him out, and when I finally encountered him, it was in the most dramatic of locations.

We were near the top of a waterfall! The rocks were slippery, the two of us were tussling, it was life and death, and I was winning! When all of a sudden...

Mikotoba pulled me to the side! He forced me to step away! Many times he has tended my bruises, set me by the fire, forced me to eat and drink, but never had he stepped in like this!

He pulled me back as I slipped on the rocks, tearing my favorite pair of investigating trousers! I attempted to pull myself up, but the mud put me back on the stony ridge! I looked up and Moriarty was no longer there... I never saw another sign of him.

I do believe he fell off of that ledge. Please do not tell Iris I risked my life like this. I don't want her to follow my decisions. She should be more like Mikotoba.

Thank you for your question,

Great British Consulting Detective, Herlock Sholmes
