Klimt Van Zieks, Where Does Your First Name Come From? It Seems More Like A Last Name To Me..

to Benjamin- you sound very fond of Barok. What made you want to get back in contact with him after ten years?

Dear Uniquartz,

You are quite the astute observer! I am rather fond of Barok... The two of us were very close friends in our years at university. He is the closest friend I've ever had! One of the only friends I've ever had...

Oh, my... I can think of only three friends... well, that is to say, three human friends... that I have ever had. That is rather worrying. Perhaps I should get out more. (Not to mention one of those friends tried to ruin my dreams...)

That being said, I had missed him greatly. He invited me to visit him in his home and I could not turn down such an offer. I have struggled with money in the past, and he is helping me to save my pennies. As I said, he is a very, very kind man. I care deeply for him.

Best, Benjamin Dobinbough

Dear Enoch,

What is your stance on Mormonism.

-Joseph Smith

Dear Joseph Smith:

Respectfully, get buried.

William Shamspeare,

If you were a type of equine what kind would you be? Unicorn? Pegasus? Regular horse but with a flamboyant color scheme perhaps?

Best wishes

Dearest anon,

I haven't the faintest idea how you learned of my proclivity for horses. Majestic creatures, are they not? Whether tis nobler to be the beast that trots and whinnies in outreaching forests, or to grow wings through a seabound deity and by opposing use them.

I know that I am not a fan of the work horse. Though they have their place, I would not want to be used in such a way. I have always had a connection with the racehorse, the ones with an attitude, a prance in their step and a preference for various foods. As for colour schemes, I don't know how flambouyant a horse could be. Though, their racing uniforms can be quite fancy.

Signed,

William Shamspeare

(chucks chuunosuke at sherlock) woe. chuunosuke be upon ye

Whoa!

This adorable thing Iris has created seems to have a life of its own, and is rather fond of climbing into my hair! I thought I had finally escaped its insatiable wrath for tormenting me, and yet it continues to find me again and again.

He climbs my sleeves, tugs my ears, nestles in my hair, and takes naps in there. I have no idea how Iris has managed something like this. I wish I could stay mad at something like that.

dr mikotoba do you think other people feel the same positive emotion about mr holmes' strange and peculiar vibe that you do, or do you have to pretend you are merely looking past it

Dear Ribbonroad,

I am afraid that many people cannot appreciate Holmes' unique charm. He is a fascinating man who can add so much to one's life if they simply let him, though most people are far too afraid to let him do so. He is an unpredictable man, and his particular flavor of spice of life occasionally rubs the wrong way against his friends and colleagues.

And by occasionally, I do unfortunately mean most of the time. My friends always asked why I cared so much for him, as he was such a strange person... I'm afraid it's something I cannot explain, but it is something I cannot apologize for. He is a uniquely wonderful man.

Hey Enoch… how do you feel about vinegar?

Anon.

I have a wealth of feelings about vinegar, particularly a fine, distilled version of it... the beauty of a chemical that can be found in many a kitchen and has the power to cause such chaos... near nothing can match.

I find it particularly useful when it comes to keeping my hand free of rust and grime, something that is quite necessary when you depend on such things to be able to do somewhat basic tasks.

As for the taste, well. I eat whatever is given to me. When I was feeding myself, most items I created were rather bland or even burnt. Vinegar, however strong the taste, surely cannot be worse than that.

Signed, Enoch Drebber

P. S. - I have heard from Dobinbough that quite a few barrels of wine in the van Zieks cellar have turned into vinegar. We both find the situation to be quite comical.

Erm...

I know I've only been reading for so long, but I'm pretty sure that's a goat. I do hope that helps.

Mod Update: brief hiatus!

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to take a brief hiatus from answering questions. You're absolutely still free to send them in, in fact, I encourage that! But I probably won't get around to answering them for another week or so. Sorry for the trouble!

Signed, Mod of the Baskervilles

Dear sister,

Who is the man living in our house? The tall one with the white hair. Why is he here? Did you allow him into the home… on purpose?

-Barok

[modverse]

Dear Barok,

I have grown rather fond of the strange man living in your house. He is so very fun to watch! He sits upon any surface open to him, crawling inside of cabinets, bathtubs, closets, fireplaces... He reminds me of a feral cat in a very charming way.

As for who let him in, it was actually you! Benjamin asked you if he could have a friend visit, and that person just so happened to be Enoch. It seems you may be stuck with him, as he appears to be rather happy there.

Best of luck!! Rosie
