To Wagahai,

Susato, have you ever questioned your gender?

-⚙️ (yeah I'm new here! I like ur style of writing)

Dear ⚙️,

This is something that I debated on sharing with anyone. It took me a long time to be able to figure out how to word it to myself. Since that first day I dressed myself as Ryuutarou, I've felt drawn to his clothes. Er, my clothes, that is. The clothes that my father and I modified for that day.

I think of Ryuutarou as something different from Susato, as I have not been able to reconcile the two in my mind. I do not want them to be separate, I want to find some way to accept the feelings I have towards my situation in court, the way I was treated, how Haori interacted with me... it's not easy.

Looking back on some of the Sherlock Holmes stories, I noted that he on occasion would dress as a woman to disguise himself. Perhaps if I brought up my feelings on the matter to my father, then, a man who knows Sherlock so intimately, he may be able to help me sort through these emotions.

With love.... Ryuutarou.

Benjamin, how is living with Barok? - 🌹

Dear 🌹,

I love living with Barok! You would not believe the amount of money one saves when he need not pay for housing or food. I have put on a tad bit of weight--something I previously thought impossible, as my food was rather inedible. And yet now I have time! And food! And funding! And though Dr. Drebber may have had a point about my scientific abilities, well... I still enjoy my projects!

I am quite seriously considering visiting him. I do not know how long his sentence will be. There was something comforting about his presence, his designs, the whir of the robotics upon his hand. I do believe the two of us would make quite a formidable scientific pair, if given the chance.

And, Barok takes wonderful care of me! He buys me clothes, gives me allowance, he even allows me to sleep in his bed! What a kind man.

Scientifically, Benjamin Dobinbough

To mod of Baskerville

Is there anything that you are itching to write about or get an ask for?

To anon my beloved,

I am itching to write about just. Anything. I love writing stuff and I love answering questions, I love talking about random headcanons I have. If you have a question for even the most random of characters, it's entirely possible I have an entire backstory for them.

I particularly love exploring relationships we didn't get to see much of in canon, like Susato and Kazuma, Kazuma and Iris, the original exchange trio, etc. I love the original exchange trio and their weird group of friends so so much.

With excitement, Mod of the Baskervilles

kazuma-sama you are so right as suaul to be upset over the serving of grouse it is far too close to chicken. its clearly a fowl. van zieks should have known better and surely he put it on the menu to slight you

Ribbonroad,

I am so pleased to know that you agree with me on how rude and inconsiderate it was of him to do something like this to me. I cannot bring such things up with Iris, Lestrade, Holmes, or even van Zieks' pet scientist, as they all insist that I should have calmed down and listened to him.

I do not want to calm down and listen. It is not a thing that I am wont to do.

Fondly, Asougi Kazuma

Dear father,

I found the letter you send to my brother and I'm very confused my brother had been away for some time and for him to request something like this is strange. Because you see Miss Karma and my brother Henry had been very close very close I might add. So I don't think my brother would request to destroy evidence like that in fact when it came to a case he would gladly look it over again making sure everything is not fishy about it. May I say that also My brother is planning to look over Miss Karma’s case again after he is back from his trip so I don't think he would want to destroy any evidence about the case? Maybe you got the wrong letter by chance.

Your daughter,

Heather Van zikes

Dear Heather,

I must encourage you to be careful engaging in this matter. I would not be surprised if your brother is in serious danger. I would keep any news about your brother to a minimum in case your letters are being monitored. While it is unlikely, it is always a possibility. I do not believe he would want to destroy evidence if he was still interested in it, and would not be surprised if there were some sort of third party involved here.

Signed, Barok van Zieks

*a letter was left in Strongharts cell this time with a pencil and paper*

Dear Mr. Stronghart,

How are you feeling? I know it must not be the best but it is a formal thing to ask. I was the one who had given you the carved wooden bird and I was wondering if you liked it. I'm by no means an expert on wood carving, but I like to do it when my older brother is busy so I'd like to think I've gotten good at it!

Sincerely,

-T.V.Z.

To T. V. Z.,

I have been living in the dark for quite some time. I long for unbiased news from the aboveground as I rot in this pit of Hades. I am surrounded by the deranged people whom I had the misfortune of knowing in my first life, though I have been blissfully separated from them, as I am at a high risk for being attacked. I spend my time writing. There is quite a lack of things I am allowed to do.

I did quite enjoy the bird you gave me. I am not allowed to have violent instruments such as whittling tools or knives with which to cut my food (if the food were better than the bland slop they feed me). It was nice to see the work that went into it. I ran my fingers down every crevasse, feeling the mistakes, the details, the knots within the wood.

It has given me something to do, and I have noticed that my fingers are so often on the bird that the natural oils produced by man have begun to naturally weather the wood into a smoother texture, far more pleasing to the touch.

Signed, Mael Stronghart.

P. S. - I notice your unusual initials. Would you, perchance, be related to the van Zieks family?

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.

hey genshin will your ghost associate with klimt’s ghost

Regrettably, it does seem I am stuck with him.

...Though, I will say, it has been rather entertaining to spend more time with him... In life, neither of us got as much time as we would have liked.

Genshin Asougi

Haori, how do you feel after everything you've learned about Dr. Watson?

Dear Anon,

I must admit that I was entirely heartbroken when I learned of his death. I was angry and bitter and sad, knowing that a man who had taught me so much and been so kind to me had been killed. It was unfair!

And, regrettably, when Susato-chan came home, she told me all about what she had learned about him. That he had faked evidence, cooperated in a conspiracy to make an innocent man seem guilty... It was so much to deal with. I did not want to talk about it, but it was clear that my best friend needed someone to talk to about it with. So, I listened.

I've been thinking about our conversation for quite some time now. I think there may be a side to everyone's life that we would rather not know. It is hard to share every aspect of one's life, and to express your most shameful experiences. I do not know at heart what kind of man Dr. Watson was. What I do know is that he taught me great things and he was a good teacher. No matter what his character was, that will not change.

Signed, Haori Murasame

Dear Uncle Naruhodo,

Dear Henry,

I... I do not know if I can comply with such a request. I understand the gravity of the situation, and it is something I never would want to find myself in, but the simple matter of fact is that I am in Japan and it will take me an immense amount of time to make it to Europe. My previous trip to London took me well over a month.

While I would love to help you with such a thing, I do not think I am the man for you. I am so, so sorry. Is there anyone else you could possibly ask?

Regretfully, Naruhodou Ryuunosuke
