*leaves A Present With A Hand Carved Wooden Bird Inside The Box In Strongharts Cell*

Hello there I’m the one who asked about the Benbaro twin question and right now I wanted to ask what Barok and Albert think?

Sorry that my art is bad.

To childrenofozstory,

This art pierced through my heart. It is utterly wonderful, a delightful idea of what could be in an ideal world. I myself have never wanted to have children, but the thought of raising these two children with my lovely partner is... incredibly appealing. I adore the idea that Heather takes after her father in science, and I am a large fan of polka dots. (Additionally, Iris has been teaching me how to braid hair.)

As for Henry, I do quite like his hair. The mix of Albert's and mine, and the volume and texture of his hair... I know that Benjamin is quite a fan of his particular look, and I cannot help but feel the same.

Life with these two would be an absolute dream. These twins will be on my mind for... quite some time now.

With fondness, Lord Barok van Zieks

hosonaga-san what is your favorite disguise youve ever utilized on a mission

To Ribbonroad:

I shall have you know that I cannot, will not, be discovered this easily! As I am an incredible master of disguise and could be anyone, anywhere, at any time, it would be utterly foolish for me to admit what my favorite disguise is!

However, that being said, I suppose I could tell you about one of my disguises I have retired.... Hm.

All I will say is that I am quite fond of turtles.

Hey there everyone it’s me the creator of Benbaro Children. So I was wondering which design of the twins is better and why?

Old design or New design

Hello, creator.

I have to say, all art is subjective. No matter what I think of your art, what matters is that you enjoy making it! I like both sets of designs. The first set is more unique but the second is more cohesive, I like the first one because it's the one I saw first and the second one because it's clear you put time into editing the designs.

Thank you. 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

To Herlock Sholmes,

Take this!

Is this true, Mr. Sholmes? If so, do you have any favorite disguises of this kind in particular?

Your fan,

Mod Athena

Dear Mod Athena,

How did you access such a photo, and such a caption no less? I was unaware of any sort of camera in the room at Baker Street.

That being said, yes! I do have quite a closet of disguises. I can change into any person within a matter of minutes, it is one of my greatest skills. None but my partner have seen the true extent of this. I have bustles and blouses, facial hair and wigs, hats, pipes, canes, shabby and beautiful clothes, all sorts of things I have bought and scrounged and collected over the course of many, many years.

I am particularly fond of a character by the name of Irene. I greatly enjoy becoming Irene. She was named after a fantastic woman I once met, who changed how I view the world. I cannot thank her enough for this. The idea of becoming a woman to change other people's view of the world... it pleases me greatly.

Additionally, there is no better feeling than confusing all of my partner's friends by dressing up as different women every night. It made him seem quite the suave fellow!

Thank you for asking! Herlock Sholmes

Can ghosts of dead characters interact with the living characters? 👻

Hello!

I think that ghost characters can interact with the living characters. I cannot say that the stuff within those conversations will remain canon, if that makes sense? For example, if Klimt tells Barok some information he didn't know before, he probably wouldn't be able to recall it, but I think if they've talked before he would be able to remember it again.

Maybe he'd remember it like a dream, or something? It's tough, because this is technically happening through letters, but I would like to see some interactions like that happen. The one thing is, if someone sends an ask from a character but it feels too out of character, I may not answer it.

I hope that makes sense! Signed, Mod of the Baskervilles

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.

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.

Dear Benjamin, I’m glad to hear that Barok is treating you well! I do hope you don’t mind my curiosity, but what do others think of your, uh, friendship with him? All the best, Ivy

Dearest Ivy,

Yes! Barok treats me incredibly well. I could never have imagined living in such luxury, he is the perfect gentleman. As for your question...

I am not entirely understanding why you are talking about our relationship in such a way. Why do you hesitate to call it a friendship? As for what others think of it, well... despite my love for my screwdrivers, it is hard for them to formulate an opinion that is not my own. I rarely speak to anyone else.

You have me worried now. Should I talk to someone? Who should I talk to? What should I say to them? What do I do? Do you think Enoch would know something about this? He seems intelligent...

Concerned, Benjamin Dobinbough

Humphrey Van Zieks,

We hope you will take a few moments of your time to respond to our survey.

You are the father or lord Barok, yes? How many other children have you fathered? Is that number different from your amount your wife has had? Names of said children, would be appreciated.

Your response will be recorded anonymously. Thank you for participating in our survey

To the FDGSCB,

I find your questions rather insulting, though I feel I have no choice but to answer them. Yes, I am the father of Lord Barok. Of course I am. In terms of other children, I am the father of the late Klimt and Rosamund, with my wife, the late Eloise.

In terms of other children, how am I supposed to know? It is not my responsibility to keep track of them. I am not the one who was pregnant, nor did I live with anyone else who may have been. I was with my wife, with whom I had three children.
