[consultantsdoctor]

[John is currently out of the apartment or he'd be asking this question in person.]

What languages do you know?

[of_deduction]

Several.

Why?
SH

[consultantsdoctor]

Might have a new project for you after you learn the native language. Someone wants to make a record of medical procedures in as many languages as possible. Thought you could translate into a few of the more popular ones from our world. Also Kedanese when you've finished with that.

You might learn something about Kedan physiology if you did.

[of_deduction]

[ Well that sounds incredibly boring but at the very least it'd give him something to do between cases. ]

Sure, why not. Bring the information back tonight and I'll start on it then.
SH

[consultantsdoctor]

[John is aware that it's probably boring by Sherlock's standards but it would at least be something to occupy his mind even if only for a little while.]

Alright. Also, I'm popping by the shop on my way home for a few things, anything you need?

[of_deduction]

Nothing off the top of my head. Might be running low on coffee though.

Oh, and get a book for Conan.
SH

[consultantsdoctor]

Right, coffee and a bunch of mystery novels then.

[Almost reminds him of the time he managed to find a few books for the kid back when they visited Rapture.]

[of_deduction]

He and I both thank you.
SH

[consultantsdoctor]

Don't get to them first and spoil the ending.

[Conan can do that for himself but it will at least keep him entertained for a little bit.]

[of_deduction]

I have better things to do with my time than upset a child by spoiling the ending of his books.

I only say that because he's annoying me.
SH

[consultantsdoctor]

Yes, I'm aware of both of those facts but also know how you can get.

[If Conan continues to annoy Sherlock, Sherlock might get childish and annoy him back.]

Wonder if this world has Cluedo. Bet you'd both like that.

[of_deduction]

If it does you should grab it. I'd like to know if little Conan would be able to deduce the truth of that game.
SH

[consultantsdoctor]

You could use it as a starting point to judge Penny's skill too. The three of you could play. Maybe throw in some more pieces to make it more difficult.

[of_deduction]

You know my thoughts on the matter, John. As you've repeatedly told me my deduction isn't possible.
SH

[consultantsdoctor]

Yes well, I won't be playing so you won't have me to argue with you.

[of_deduction]

Not even if Conan asks?
SH

[ Play with them John. You know you want to. ]

[consultantsdoctor]

The Queen herself could not order me to play a game of Cluedo with you and Conan.

[of_deduction]

John, the game requires at least three players. If Penny is out you'll have to make the sacrifice.
SH

[consultantsdoctor]

I'm sure you can convince other people to play a game with you.

[Until they figure out how absolutely terrible it is to play Cluedo with Sherlock and vow to never play it again.]

Detective Holmes, my name is Cheym. I work with many of the kedan in the agricultural fields. I understand you're something of an expert at solving challenging mysteries.

: voice;

[of_deduction]

Then you understand correctly. Would you like to discuss your case at my flat or should I come to you?

voice;

[ironcircle]

Well, seeing as it's field-based it might be best if you came to see the fields. [He appears faintly amused.] It's your attention to detail I'm interested in, you see. We've done a lot of work restoring the health of our soils, but small yet significant differences are sometimes difficult for us to detect.

[irongaze]

Detective Holmes, I trust you are well. I am Arbitrator Eliyen. I hear that you consult for the KPD on selected cases, is that correct?

audio;

[of_deduction]

That is correct.

audio;

[irongaze]

Excellent.

And have you any expertise in the other side of judicial matters? Matters of law, I mean, as opposed to investigation.

audio;

[of_deduction]

That depends on the law. There are some I'm intimately familiar with, others I might need to refresh my memory on.

...

This isn't a jury duty summons, is it?

audio;

[irongaze]

[What the hell is jury duty?]

...no, Detective, it is not.

audio;

[of_deduction]

[ You don't want to know. ]

Good. So what is it you need my help with?

text; anonymous console

[lostundercover]

Valdis approved.
I'll be in touch.

[And soon, you'll probably hear about him getting arrested.]

[of_deduction]

[ He receives the message but doesn't bother to respond as he's sure the man has work to be doing. ]

[commandandcontrol]

Please tell me this is working out how you planned it.

Mr. Holmes. I'm sure you're aware that Conan is bored. Being as you're his guardian, would you mind bringing him by the shelter for a game of soccer? I will, of course, be mindful of the people around, and keep him quite safe.
