Did anyone see the news story about the business owner in Maurtia Falls this week? The one about Sally Cunliffe, a 68-year-old woman who died of a heart attack? It got Sherlock excited when he first heard it. He called it a suspicious death, so we decided to do a bit digging around to see what we could find out about her.
There are a couple of things we've found that the media didn't report on. Firstly, she had no family history of cardiovascular disease. She was actually in good health and relatively fit for her age when she died. Secondly, she died with a look of terror on her face the police can't explain.
And they still haven't found the person Sally transferred the money to before she died either. Like Sherlock, I found that a bit odd. Most people grab the phone to call for an ambulance when they have chest pain, not send money over.
So now Sherlock thinks she was murdered. He's sure of it. But I was just wondering, has anyone else heard anything about this?

Do you mind telling me about the import who died? I don’t think I've ever heard about it.
no subject
[Any more than that... Well, there was no evidence of any of them having been here yet, anyway. But one can never be too careful.]
How long have you or your partner been here? And how much do either of you know about the place that came before this?
no subject
You sound like you do though. Were you there for very long?
no subject
But I was there in the "beginning", I guess you could say. Do you know what the year was, when you were in The City? That's assuming you remember about being there.
[There was a chance, however slight, that he would recognize names. And if so... "Sherlock", huh?]
no subject
So this murder happened fairly early on?
no subject
Wait, someone drew WHAT on the moon?
...And I MISSED THIS?
[What have you done, John]
no subject
Yeah. Someone also stole Big Ben and put it in New Jersey. I never did find out who did it.
no subject
[Carmen SanDiego, what a lady.]
Anyway, 2012 is way after I was Ported out, and unless one of them reappeared after I left, you wouldn't have frame of reference for them. Technically, none of the murders happened in The City, anyway. But I know what they could do, and this sounds very similar.
Further details, I'm not really willing to divulge here. You got a safer way of chatting?
[Normally, he wouldn't be especially willing to just offer this kind of information to someone he'd never met- but he was curious. "Sherlock"? Was he serious? And if it was true, then if any of them were there again, he's sure they would have spoken, at least to satisfy their own curiosity and egos. Detectives...]

Oh, but you'll probably have to sign my field trip pass or whatever for the Porter, being unregistered and all.

Look for the priest at the Porter.
