malewife | I'VE CONNECTED THE DOTS (herlock sholmes)

Eating someone else's cooking invites death.

[ He means via poison. ]

Goodness, what are you, some walking advertisement for assassination? Though poison through what one eats would be a terrible way to go....

It'd be easier to loot my items that way... My world is like that.

[ Yikes. ]

[Ah.]

What items do you even have worth stealing?

[ HE GIVES HIM A LOOK. ]

Nothing on my person currently.

[ You raccoon. ]

Pardon? Goodness, who do you think I am? I'm no petty thief. I'm merely just asking.

[herlock "raccoon" sholmes]

Then why ask in the first place?

[ joonghyuk wild dog yoo and herlock raccoon sholmes ]

Because I'm curious? Goodness, if someone told me "Sholmes, my good man, people want to beat me up in a fury so that they can pick up the items that I have on me that are ever so supposedly valuable" would you not be curious as to what in the world said items were?

... Killing someone rewarded people coins to buy powers and the like.

[ Here will just give this instead. ]

...

Powers? Dear me. That would be worth killing.

[ It really is. Even he thinks so. ]

... Modern society became disestablished. Government and order were no more. [ ... ] But one thing my world retained from those times is that currency meant everything. The person with the most coins is the most powerful.

You've been through a handful of scenarios yourself, Herlock Sholmes. You must know what it's like, if only a number of times, to have a target on your back.

Ah, isn't that how society is? The richer you are, the better you are. And the poor are left to grovel.

[He lets out an amused huff at that.]

But of course. I may dance through mysteries as easy as anything else, but I have quite a number of enemies. Looking over your shoulder becomes as easy as breathing.
