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

[ Here will just give this instead. ]

[greatdeduction]

...

Powers? Dear me. That would be worth killing.

[malewife]

[ 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.

[greatdeduction]

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.

[malewife]

Yes. Some things don't change. [ It's funny, isn't it? ] Then that means you'll be feeding yourself?

[ He isn't feeding you. ]

[greatdeduction]

Yes! Despite appearances, I can feed myself, you know!

[SELF-AWARE???]

[malewife]

... You were never known for gourmet taste.

[ So. ]

Bread is barely sustenance.

[greatdeduction]

Ah, but who needs gourmet taste, as long as it gets you through the day? One needn't not be picky, in certain circumstances.

[malewife]

I feel like you would eat bread that tastes like cardboard.

[greatdeduction]

[mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm don't call him out like this]

Well....it's still bread.....

[malewife]

Just eat cardboard.

[ Actually, he KIND OF WANTS TO SEE IT? ]

[greatdeduction]

But I have, my dear fellow?



[DON'T JUST ADMIT THIS??]

[malewife]

[ HE ISN'T LIKE... SURPRISED? Cause this tracks for Sherlock Holmes and any rendition of him, but. HE'S STILL APPALLED? ]

For what?

[greatdeduction]

To see if cardboard could provide sustenance! After all, it is made from trees, and we already eat plants and such as part of our diet, no?

[malewife]

[ HE JUST SHAKES HIS HEAD. ]

There are no nutrients left in cardboard.

[greatdeduction]

And right you are! I almost collapsed later that day from starvation!

[malewife]

... If someone were to die here and it isn't at the hand of someone else, it would be you.

[ HIS PROPHECY. ]

[greatdeduction]

Ahahahahaha!

It takes a lot to kill someone like me, my dear fellow! I'm not unlike a cockroach!

[DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF TO THAT]
