Dictated; Open to Action for Kitchen

[modernholmes]

 [Today Conan is in the kitchen.  He's at the table, slightly smug at his victory over acquiring a full mug of black coffee with no adults in the room to object.  As he waits for it to cool slightly he opens his journal and begins to dictate out a few messages.]

Hey, do you still want to learn all about Holmes?  The real Holmes, I mean.  I'm going to be in the library later today if you want to do some reading.

Has anyone heard of any interesting mysteries?  I've been hearing about some place  called Insolitus I want to check out. 

Have you gotten over your tantrum yet?.

There have been some new developments.  We need to talk.
Ne, ne!  I've been wondering something.  What kinds of detectives do you have at home?  It would be interesting to compare, don't you think?

[And with his messages taken care of Conan goes to take his first sip of coffee.  And immediately spits it out in disgust.  The expression of distaste on his face only grows as he identifies exactly what his coffee had tasted like.]

Vermouth?

[Bucky wanders into the kitchen just to see him spit out his coffee. Well, what he assumes used to be coffee.] ...It turned into vermouth?

[Conan is glaring suspiciously at his cup. He really did not appreciate the hotel's sense of humor. But with this person there was no point in pretending he wasn't familiar with the differences between different kinds of alcohol.]

That's what it tastes like.

[blue_sniper]

[He wanders over and smells it.] Yep, vermouth. Or something close. I hope it's not all the coffee, because that's what I came in here for. [Which he now starts to make a cup for himself.]

[ Conan ]

[workaphilic]

Depends. Are you finished complaining about it yet?

[Sherlock]

[modernholmes]

Only if you have finished giving me things to complain about.

[ Conan ]

[workaphilic]

Then no.

[snacklist]

We don't really have detectives, we have a military that helps police the streets.

[modernholmes]

No, that isn't the same thing at all. Do you have law enforcement like police?

[snacklist]

Um, not really. The Amestrian military runs the law enforcement, it's mostly made up of regular guards and soldiers.

Detective Boys

[huffythedragon]

Not a thing. What's Insolitus supposed to be?

...

And Vermouth?

Detective Boys

[modernholmes]

A maze, I think. It sounds interesting.

...That doesn't matter.

Detective Boys

[huffythedragon]

That does sound pretty cool. So long as it's not the creepy sort run by mystical beings of chaos.

...Long story.

You sue about that?

[amiable]

Detectives? We just have regular kinds...

Re: dictated;

[modernholmes]

And what kind is that?

[amiable]

Like the ones who work for the police.

[wishmadeinfire]

Detectives?

[modernholmes]

Aaa, detectives. What kind do you have in your world.

[wishmadeinfire]

Ah, no, I meant, what is a detective?

[peacockherald]

_{[Vanyel learned about these from Carson!]}

We really did not have any, per say. A Herald might count, but overall, there was not a particular position for one.

[modernholmes]

If you don't have detectives who solves your crimes?

[peacockherald]

Well, a Herald could investigate, or invoke the truth spell.

[jammin_with_ed]

[Hey, Conan. Remember that annoying kid at your door? She's baaa-aaaack. She giggles as she dictates]

Edward's been in the Insolitus.

[modernholmes]

Oh? What did you see there?

[knightprodigy]

The world where I'm from... detectives tend to come in all shapes and sizes, from all ages and backgrounds.

[modernholmes]

That sounds similar to my world. I've met lots of different kinds of detectives.
