In light of recent events it seems apt that I make an advertisement offering my services to the general public. I am Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective, amply acquainted with the solution of murders, thefts, arsons, and the generally unsavoury, etc. Inquiries of a general nature may be directed to me at any time, though I take cases at my own discretion, and will generally request an interview to establish both the particulars and the legitimacy of the case. The suspicious may refer to Dr. John Watson for a no-doubt superfluously effusive list of my general accomplishments, and when he proves unconvincing I should be delighted to provide a demonstration of my capabilities. In what will no doubt be vastly more appealing than any of the previous to some of you, I shall add that all services will be rendered entirely gratis.

((ooc: Permissions post/opt-out here, for anything you'd rather Sherlock not pick up on. Additionally, there may be some threadjacking here and there by the aforementioned Dr. Watson since it is his lot in life to babysit this gigantic infant, and if anyone would like to address him instead of Sherlock they can note as much in their subject lines.))

Whatever is appropriate to the situation. When advertising one's talents, perhaps best not to play dumb.

... okay fair point.

anyway what kind of mystery do you usually solve? murders or arson or what

[could_be_dangerous]

Arson is typically straightforward enough that even the police can handle it. Disappearances are more tricky; private clients generally, occasionally police. Murder has more potential. Much more interesting and generally considered more urgent, therefore my consultations frequently involve at least one corpse.

huh. well they might be less challenging here - i hear people come back to life afterwards.

[could_be_dangerous]

Does seem a rather unfair advantage, doesn't it? Though you're assuming that I only have an interest in investigating crimes against imPorts, not entirely a safe one despite the venue in which I have chosen to advertise.

....... i guess i don't even talk to non imports. outside of superhero stuff. not the same.

uh, if you're trying to help the police though, i do know a sheriff. stilinski. haven't talked to him in a while though, dunno if he's still here.

[could_be_dangerous]

Good to know. I'll have to reach out. Always useful, sheriffs. Frequently out of their depth.

pfffft yeah. that's him. he's nice, though. cares a lot i think.

[could_be_dangerous]

Someone has to, I suppose. As being nice generally doesn't solve crimes, so much the better for me.
SH

[microbrobotics]

well no. being nice doesn't build robots either. still feels good sometimes.

[could_be_dangerous]

Does it? I haven't noticed. Mostly it just seems to make people insufferable.
