3.0 - week three

WEEK THREE

Last night might have been exhausting for any number of reasons - maybe it was the emotional

toll of dealing with those ghosts, or maybe you stayed up too late after watching Jim Shrok. Who knows, but Saturday is over, even if some of you haven’t quite left it behind and half spirits that are still hanging on, tethered to you and weighing you down…

But that’s not going to stop a new week from starting. There’s no breaks in an eight week course.

There’s very little fanfare to the start of your third week of the course, though it does seem like the fog has lifted even more. It’s a bit more of a trek down the abandoned streets of Estelline, but surely a mile is walkable? Or you could grab a bike or try to hotwire one of those cars in the mall parking lot… Whatever you plan to do this week is up to you. All you know is you've got some new locations to explore.

As always, Florence and Lorelei are available.

SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY

TASK LIST


( OOC Note: Luci, Mutsu, and Mae will each receive a small roomba! Congrats on the successful egg drop. It's a tiny little friend that cleans extra well, though this also means its trash compartment is a little smaller so it'll need to be cleaned more often. )

Oh?

[ He raises his eyebrows and looks to him. ]

I would like to know what you have received, of course. And if they do belong to me, I am sure I would very much like them back.

[herlocksholmes]

Behold.

[With theatrical movements, he takes out of his coat the lollipops]

These belong to you, do they not?

[He grins like he already knows the answer. Thank goodness I can handwave with 'naturally it was a deduction' for things like how he knew these were Gentarou's, haha]

[catarou]

[ He's also got lollipops on his and Bennett's door!

Anyway, his eyes widen when he sees those, because they're exactly what he and Dice have been desperately looking for. There are so few, though. Still, as he offers his hand to take them, there's a slight tremble to it. ]

... Yes. I have no idea how these came to be here, but they are mine. I would very much like to have them.

[ Like he's not two seconds away from snatching them from Herlock's grasp... ]

[herlocksholmes]

Go ahead! Have no concern -- I haven't tried them at all.

[Sholmes pretty much shoves them into Gentarou's hands]

Are they significant to you in any manner? You seem to be on edge, Mr. Gentarou.

[catarou]

[ Thank god he hasn't eaten any of them.

He takes them and tucks them away. Once they're safe, he clears his throat. ]

You could say that. As for my being on edge, it is a case of low blood sugar, I am sure.

[ Thankfully, he's got some snacks in his bag, so he doesn't have to resort to the lollipops. ]

[herlocksholmes]

A ha ha ha! Then I should stay in the area, to provide medical assistance in case you faint! Have no concern -- I used to be a hospital technician. I can handle it.

[Without waiting for Gentarou's response, Sholmes goes to a couch and gets his feet on the nearest table, getting comfortable.

He poses]

Pretend I'm not here!

[catarou]

[ Goodness, he really is incredibly eccentric... but Gentaro really has no room to talk about eccentricities. ]

Thank you, Sholmes-san. I do hope it will not come to that.

[ As for pretending he's not there... Gentaro chuckles. ]

Of course. Hopefully you have some excellent reading material, otherwise you may succumb to terrible boredom.
