[ well at least he's aware...? to yomiel's left, their daemon gives a little hiccup and shifts into a goshawk. ]

Does anybody really like doing things like this?

[ don't sulk, yomiel. ]

[greatdeduction]

Some people do. Some people don't. But I think any rational person would rebel against the idea of being stuffed into a suit and made to play a part on a stage.

[Unless they're a theater kid but theater kids are naturally insane.]

I like disguising myself when necessary, but even I would be tired of being in disguise all the time!

[grigori]

I'm not into the whole disguise trick, but acting isn't really my thing. I'd rather just be myself.

[greatdeduction]

Then....


Well, act like yourself. I'm certainly not going to stop you. The more trueyou are to yourself, the better, no?

[grigori]

I never said I wasn't acting like myself. It's not like anyone would know one way or another.

[greatdeduction]

Very true. But what matters is that you know what's real or what's not.

[(kingdom hearts voice) like is any of this real, or-]

Well, regardless. I guess to get to know you, I would also need to get to know your animal friend. You have one, yes?

[grigori]

[ helped set up the whole daemon game and i've already forgotten the daemon can you believe it

an ocelot prowls from around yomiel's legs to peer up at sholmes! ]

We all have them, just like you.

[greatdeduction]

[instant death for forgetting the daemon]

Oh! What an enchanting animal. [He does a little bow to it.] What is their name?

[grigori]

Zimri.

[ the ocelot bows its head. at least one of them is being polite! ]

[greatdeduction]

A king.

[Nobleman theory: STILL VALID???]

And I assume you didn't have Zimri before you were brought here so suddenly?

[grigori]

What king?

[ what is sholmes on about now? ]

That's right. The "daemon" thing is new to me, too.

[greatdeduction]

Never the mind. [EXPLAIN THINGS] And...pardon? "Daemon"? Is that what they're called?

[grigori]

[ EXPLAIN THINGS. ]

Sounds that way. It's your soul, so be careful with it.

[greatdeduction]

[no]

My soul...?

[There's an amused noise, like he's laughing at some inside joke. The great detective he is, having a soul...]

[Irene, in hare form, leans her head against him.]

If she dies, then I die, I suppose?

[grigori]

Good guess. Can you try not testing that theory, though?

[greatdeduction]

Ahahahah! Don't worry, my dear fellow, you will have to tolerate me for a little while longer.

[Though...]

I do say, having that sort of vulnerability....it quite concerning, isn't it?

[grigori]

[ sholmes. sholmes, you aren't even on their team. ]

Yeah. But there's not much we can do about it now, so you'll just have to be careful to make sure nothing happens to either of you.

[greatdeduction]

[team, schmeam]

I thank you for the advice. So, the next phase of this conflict...are we expected to hear more about it in the coming days?

[grigori]

Not sure. Something is supposed to happen before the week ends to kick start it all, but we haven't been told what.

[greatdeduction]

Was it your leader who told you that?

[grigori]

The ones we agreed to help, yeah.

[greatdeduction]

"Ones"? There are multiple?

[grigori]

[



sholmes, being sholmes, may not realize he's being judged right now! but it's definitely there! ]

Did you think we're working for the same ones as the Celestials?

[greatdeduction]

No, of course not, my dear fellow!

[He poses! Judge all you want! Haters gonna hate!]

But rather, what surprises me is that you have multiple for each team, not simply one individual for one team and one for another. Angels of a kind, I'm guessing?

[grigori]

I can't say I know them that well yet when it's only been a week.

[ just saying? ]

But we must have similar ideas or something if they asked us to do this for them.
