Dear Benjamin, When You Say Barok Treats You Well, What Do You Mean? He Must Be Unfathomably Rich.

Prosecutor Asogi, how have you been holding up since Van Zieks' trial? And if it's not too personal, how much of your memories have you recovered?

Anon.

The trial was not easy. I doubt you would be surprised by such a thing, but it turned the beliefs of my life upside-down. I had to spend weeks questioning things I had believed for years. I needed to be alone during that time.

Lestrade, on the other hand, needed to be in good company. She convinced me to visit the Holmes household more often than I would have liked, and, I must admit, it was more fun than I had expected it to be. I know Mikotoba-sama often spoke highly of the fun he had in London, and I can understand why. There is never a dull day on Baker Street. Somehow, some weeks ago, that heinous detective managed to convince me to move in. I... have enjoyed my stay.

It is difficult to remember what you... cannot remember. How am I to recall what memories I've lost if I have lost them? I believe I remember most of everything, but even before my injuries I had trouble with my memories. I lost focus during conversations and seemed to wake up minutes later, or would feel as though I were a bystander to a conversation I was participating in.

I think... I hope. That I have recalled everything important. I remember flashes of my childhood and my father, but not much. I remember growing up in the Mikotoba house, I remember meeting my good friend Naruhodou, but... there is much that I cannot recall. It is impossible to tell what of that is from my fateful trip on that boat and what is natural loss over time.

Dear Mr Stronghart,

I do not care much for my parents since I was abandoned to an orphanage at a young age, and I don't normally use that surname but it is the only one I know of, as for if Mr Van zieks know about me....I don't think he does...

Signed,

T.V.Z.

To T.V.Z.,

Ah, such a sad fate he has bestowed upon you. I apologize for his foul treatment of you in this way, and I am not surprised that a woman who had a child by this married man would not want such a source of shame hanging over her head. It is impressive that you have managed to hone such skills in knifework despite your poor upbringing. You are clearly stronger than I had expected.

Signed, Mael Stronghart.

*another letter was left in Strongharts cell along with a small carved unicorn*

Dear Mr. Stronghart,

I am glad that you like the carved bird so I left you another gift! As for your question though, yes I am Barok's half younger brother.

Sincerely,

T.V.Z

To T.V.Z.,

I am fascinated by everything you have provided me with. I am a fan of the mythical unicorn, one of the symbols of our empire. Elusive, powerful, untameable. Much like the late Lord van Zieks.

I refer, of course, not to Klimt, but of your presumed father. I understand he was perceived to be quite the tomcat by those in his social circles, but I find it hard to believe that he would be able to hide such horrific promiscuity, adultery, and stupidity from the public for so long. How could it be that we have taken so long to learn of your existence, young van Zieks? Does Barok know about you? Do you truly use the van Zieks last name? It is brazenly foolish of you, if you wish your family to remain within any sort of social standing.

Had I known then that it was so easy to blackmail a family like yours, I would have done it long before Humphrey died.

Signed, Mael Stronghart.

miss iris, if you were to make a charm of dr mikotoba, what animal would it be?

Dearest Ribbon,

It is rather difficult to choose a proper animal for such a thing! I had Papa as a bunny, but then when I met Susie I realized that she would also be best represented by a bunny! I made Roxy a cat, and then I realized that Kazumie would also be a cat! So, I wanted to get some more variety within the animals I have.

With a mouse, a bear, two cats, two bunnies, and a hedgehog... Hm. I do rather like the idea of him as a fluffy little dog. A very cuddly, warm, sleepy creature... or perhaps another bear, like mine! That way, Susie matches Papa and I match his partner!

What do you think? Iris

(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.

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

Enoch, would you believe me if I said that one day man would reach the moon using an as of yet unexplored method of propulsion?

Anon.

You bring up a fascinating concept. I have long wondered myself whether it was possible for man to reach the moon, or perhaps even further. I think I may believe that it is possible, though I do not know how long in the future that may be.

It is something that I myself will have to look into. I know that propulsion could theoretically be used to lift something rather than trying to imitate the flapping of wings or, God forbid, Benjamin's inane ramblings on teleportation. That being said... yes. Yes, I will have to look into the science myself.

Thank you for the idea. Enoch Drebber

this more a question for the mod(s?) but um. how did you get such good sprites of all the characters? the ones on the wiki suck and im not sure how you did it </3 thanks if you do answer btw!!

Hello astonot!

I'm afraid I don't know the exact process, as it was actually @ask-modern-aceattorney who figured out the process! Essentially, I would pick the sprites I liked best, and they would put them through some sort of gif enhancer, one by one. I started sending gifs in our dms because we were both having fun setting up blogs, and they offered to upgrade, and I couldn't say no.

Thank you for the ask! I know this probably doesn't help too much but I'm so glad you enjoy my stuff <3

souseki-san, if someone, say, a century from now, wanted to include you as a character who is a silly goofy little man in their fiction, would you want your hypothetical descendants to agree to such a depiction?

Ribbonroad-san,

I am rather fascinated by your question! The mere idea that someone would choose a man like myself in a story a full hundred years in the future is somewhat absurd. Does this mean that I will gain some sort of notoriety? Will my musings be popularized and recalled long after I am gone from this earth?

While I am not entirely certain that I would like to be remembered as a 'silly goofy man', as you said, I am honoured that they will remember me at all. So, I suppose I would have to say yes.
