[Well, it's nice to have an audience! He's just in a regular loose collared shirt and pants as he examining the tower in the center of the city, making little quick notes on a sheet of paper.]

[After a good while, however, he puts his pens away and folds the paper up into a little paper airplane, before tossing it at the other man's head.]

Do lighten up, would you? Your dreary countenance is rather bringing the mood down.

[malewife]

[ Joonghyuk will catch it and unfortunately his curiosity is too much. He will unfold the airplane. ]

Whatever you're seeing that is bringing down the "mood" is merely your delusion.

[ Since he isn't in a terrible mood... Or a more terrible mood than normal. WHAT DOES THE PAPER SAY i hope it's just a drawing of a dick or something. ]

[greatdeduction]

Not my delusion, no, no, no. Your grumpiness is enough to rival the Reaper's on a good day.

[And he can open it! And it's....actually a pretty thorough diagram of the tower, in proportion and all? There's a little bunny rabbit drawn near the top near the oak doors, smiling, and what looks to be gibberish written next to it.]

[Also a couple of actually legible notes, like "limestone and marble" around the drawing.]

[malewife]

I never thought you would be on speaking terms with Thanatos.

[ He looks at the notes. It's actually really good? Joonghyuk continues to be stuck between Sholmes is an idiot and a genius? ]

There is a glass structure at the top.

[greatdeduction]

Ahaha. Death is a great detective's bread and butter, is it not? Where death happens, a great detective follows.

[Not going to clarify that it is, in fact, a certain Reaper walking around here he's referring to.]

A glass structure? I have only made it to the oak doors as of yet in my investigation - do tell.

[malewife]

... Thanatos never seemed like the sort to keep any companions.

[ Are you in gay with this new reaper, Sholmes? He folds his arms again, paper hanging between two fingers. ]

It's a glass structure, or something that reflects light quite well. Unfortunately, I couldn't see it proper on the rooftop I chose.

[ Yes, he scaled another building. ]

[greatdeduction]

Companion? Ahahaha! Hardly! I'm a nuisance!

[DON'T LOOK SO PROUD SAYING THIS!!!!!]

Mmm, duly noted. Give that back to me, if you would please.

[his notes, binch]

[malewife]

As expected from the great detective.

[ Obnoxious bastard energy. ]

... If you planned on keeping it, why did you throw it away?

[ his note now, bitch. ]

[greatdeduction]

It is my business to know what others do not know, yes?

[Also no, he's trying to take it back.]

I was merely trying to get a reaction out of you with that paper dart of mine. But it is still mine. Would it not be?

[malewife]

[ He can try and Joonghyuk will keep moving the note elsewhere. ]

Who would enforce such laws?

[greatdeduction]

[RUDE?? HELLO????????? HEWWO?]

Such laws such as...? I do say, this is highly rude of you, sir. Give it back or I will be forced to take drastic measures.

[malewife]

Drastic measures?

[ He had always pictured Sherlock Holmes to be a twink, so he is curious. So curious. Let him see it. ]

[greatdeduction]

Hm.

[Actually, he really doesn't want to fight, but...]

[Well, he just stands there....and then quickly sweeps a leg behind Yoongjyuk's ankle to snap it forward and sweep him off of his feet.]

[malewife]

[ Sholmes is successful, but Joonghyuk is quick to recover. Usually, he would be pissed that someone would attack him except he asked for it. ]

Hm... I did read you boxed in university. Your form is not bad.

[ So he's satisfied with giving the note back. It is yours. ]

[greatdeduction]

[Note acquired! He pockets it gladly, happy for his victory.]

Indeed, you would have read that correctly. Baritsu...competitive boxing...simple additions to my list of many skills!

[And he's just going to do a bit of shadow boxing, here, because I hate him.]

My mind may be sharp, but I would never neglect the strength of the human body.

[malewife]

[ Joonghyuk is struggling so badly to figure out if this man is the real deal or a larper. ]

Has your sharp mind worked out this tower?

[ He looks over to the angel statues, then up. ]

[greatdeduction]

Hm, yes. I have actually discovered a vital clue.

[He points up to the oak doors.]

You see, there's no one living inside this tower.

[......................................]

[malewife]

[ I MEAN… MAYBW HE ISNT WRONG? OR MAYBE HE IS? Joonghyuk has considered it to be empty, too. ]

… Because it’s locked?

[greatdeduction]

No, you misunderstand, dear sir.

There is no one living inside this tower.




[what the hell does this mean]

[malewife]

[ HE... I... DOES HE WANT TO KNOW. ]

Elaborate, Herlock Sholmes.

[greatdeduction]

If you knock on a door, and someone inside tells you that "no one is home", then no one is home, yes?

[malewife]

... You would not consider no one is home in that case.

[ HE HATES YOU SO MUCH ]

[greatdeduction]

Ah, but it's "no one", isn't it? Ahahaha!

[OBNOXIOUSLY LAUGHING please hate him more]

But do forgive the play on words, my dear fellow. I just wanted to let you know. A tower like this is not unlike a box, brimming with secrets. I am not in haste to give it away, but knowing this, I would hope you would keep this fact in mind.

[malewife]

[ i hate that the mingle just reveals that icly sholmes is right in some way ]

Secrets are meant to be unveiled and brought to light before they kill us. If you were a Constellation, then you would know that.

[greatdeduction]

[Now he's just going to turn to give him a level stare.]

And if you were a fool, perhaps you may be self aware of your inadequacies. [...] For all you know about me, it seems you know the bare minimum. It is as if you've barely read a single page from any of my exploits. Mysteries are multifaceted things, my good fellow. If you were to rush to reveal things simply out of haste, one might welcome a more unfortunate end than what may be prevented.
