[ Wherever Sholmes is, they're in the same place, doing whatever that place is meant for. If it's a random place, then Joonghyuk is looking around. ]

... Herlock Sholmes.

[ oh, he wants to die and he hasn't said shit yet. ]

[greatdeduction]

...Ah, hello, my dear fellow.

[Just smiling!! Hi!!!]

How is my roommate faring this day?

[malewife]

Poorly.

[ He HATES this week, but he has accepted it as it is. ]

Despite being a disaster of a person, your deductions have weight to them, whether or not you're a great detective. I admire your willingness to test limits... While I do sometimes think it's stupid, it is what someone needs to do if they want to see any change.

[greatdeduction]

3/3

[greatdeduction]

[raising a hand to his ear]

Eh? What was that?

Re: 3/3

[malewife]

[ MISTAKES!! ]

I’m not going to repeat myself.

[greatdeduction]

You...did just say that, yes? You praised me? [His eyes are sparkling, boyishly.] You really praised me!

[malewife]

… I did.

[ He isn’t going to lie to a great detective who’s going to point at him and yell LIAR. ]

But you should already know you do good work.

[greatdeduction]

Indeed I do! And it's more than wonderful to hear people like yourself say the same.

[:DDD]

I do wonder what's brought you to such a conclusion, though.

[malewife]

... I always knew and felt that way.

[ So like it wasn't sudden or anything??? ]

1/2

[greatdeduction]

Is that so? Even better? To think, in that grumpy cat of a man was such a soft little heart...

[Basking for a moment...]

2/2

[greatdeduction]

[And then a clearing of the throat.]

Now, then. What are you trying to get in exchange for this from our masked benefactors?

[malewife]

... To get my pocket watch wound up and ticking again.

[greatdeduction]

Pocket watch...? Let me guess. It holds some ability for you to use?

[malewife]

No. It's sentimental.

[greatdeduction]

...I see.

Then I hope you get it running. Time moves on, as it always does.

[malewife]

Time is a strange thing for beings that don't die. It feels like the present doesn't truly belong to you, even if you're living through it.

[ Which includes himself. ]

You've been pretending to be Constellation for a bit. Have you enjoyed yourself?

[greatdeduction]

Somehow it almost sounds like you're speaking from experience.

[And a grin at that.]

Oh? Most certainly, though I've come to conclude that I simply don't have enough of a god complex for it. Though, I certainly do enough bothering of mortals in my own time already...

[Hehe.]

Guess this means I won't be on your neat little murder list. For now.

[malewife]

I am.

[ No point in hiding it. Everyone is getting memories, so. ]

When did I ever have intentions to genuinely kill you? [ ... ] Maybe a gentle hit.

[greatdeduction]

My dear fellow, doesn't your grand scroll proudly proclaim that a skill of yours is "killing Constellations"?

[malewife]

... I can tolerate some Constellations, especially useful ones.

[greatdeduction]

So I'm useful?

[shut up]

But...anyways, you work alongside some of them? I thought they were your natural enemies.

[malewife]

... They're much like people.

[ There are a lot of bad people, and then some not. ]

A few are tolerable, but that doesn't mean I don't hate the Constellations.

[greatdeduction]

Hm. So you know of a variety...

Why are they really a thing? These...literary gods, I'm assuming? Of a kind.
