week 7 post boom

[greatdeduction]

[He's just walking around here, having pulled out his pipe, smoking away. They left their daemons behind, exploded a bunch of people...]

[He turns to YJH with a light smile.]

A beautiful night after everything, isn't it?

[malewife]

... This place is not ideal for any type of viewing.

[ IT IS DANK AND STAGNANT HERE, SHOLMES? ]

[greatdeduction]

Ahahaha! It was beautiful for a moment, though! The Dust, illuminating it all...

[And he just. Sighs.]

But you're right. The Land of the Dead is...well, as it says on the tin.

[malewife]

... It is better than Tartarus.

[ Tartarus be torturing them souls forever. Anyway: ]

Good job on handling Seven.

[ Smacking him with the phone, that is. ]

[greatdeduction]

You mean...the Underworld?

[Of course he'd be there.]

Ah, of course. I promised him as much, you know. And a great detective always keeps his promises!

[malewife]

Yes. Getting a trip there is difficult, then the owners fickle.

[ But that isn't here. Here is nice, better, despite everything. ]

A great detective also lies.

[greatdeduction]

Well, I would be glad that it's difficult. Tartarus doesn't sound like a nice vacation spot.

[And he laughs at that.]

A great detective lies whenever he wants, and tells the truth whenever he wants. [Hehe.] But I meant it. And when I do mean it, I put in my all into it.

[malewife]

We all did well.

[ They did all that they could and in the end that was enough. ]

... What will you be doing when you return home, Herlock Sholmes? Will you concoct a story about your hand?

[ To like... Not sadden Iris too much. ]

[greatdeduction]

I'm glad you think that.

[And he tilts his head, looking at his hand. The gears whir.]

...I may have to. Though she's a sharp girl. I can lie to many. To her...that's another matter.

[It was enough to lie to her about her real parentage.]
