[Hey, Paradisa, hope you weren't trying to sleep with your journal open or anything, because there is one very merry lawyer bellowing at the top of his lungs over the journals tonight.]

Everybody HOLD IT!

Listen to this!!

I CAN TALK AGAIN!

I fell out the window! When I woke up, I could talk!

HAA!

[This is really much too much excitement to be healthy...]

[And that was finally some good news.]

Congratulations.

[takethat]

Thanks! I'm so relieved, but I can't help but wonder if the castle took something else from me instead.

[modernholmes]

It's likely. Up to this point the castle hasn't shown much interest in kindness.

[takethat]

Yeah, so I've heard... and noticed. At least whatever it's taken from me this time isn't readily noticeable. I can live with that.

[modernholmes]

Only until you figure out what it is. I think sometimes the losses you don't notice at first are the worst.

[takethat]

Maybe... [Way to be a downer there, Conan] ...but I'm glad I didn't lose any other physical abilities, at least, as far as I can tell.

[modernholmes]

That's something. It could be a memory or a skill.

[takethat]

Ehh, I hope it's not anything to do with practicing law...

[modernholmes]

Have you tested those skills?

[takethat]

I haven't had a chance to. I don't see a lot of need for defense attorneys in this place.

[modernholmes]

There were a few trials a while ago.

[takethat]

Yeah, I've heard about that, vaguely. Doesn't seem like there's any current need for a defense attorney, then?

[modernholmes]

You never know. Wherever there are humans there will be crimes.
