Sherlock And Iris,

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.

Signed, Detective Satoru Hosonaga

Dear Kazuma

Never gonna give you up

Dear anon,

I appreciate the sentiment, though I am confused as to what you could mean by such a thing. Give me up to what?

Signed, Asougi Kazuma

To anyone

Thoughts on former queen Elizabeth’s passing?

Anonymous,

I weep for the life that has passed. Such a beautiful age of art, of philosophy, of theatre--the patron saint of the bard himself!! While it has been hundreds of years since our late leader Elizabeth, her impact will be felt for centuries to come, I know.

Death comes to us all, and while such a thought may be dreadful to some, he has wise words to share on such a subject, as with all others... She has gone to the undiscovered country, from whose bourn no traveler returns. To die, to sleep, no more. To sleep, perchance to dream-- and so on and so forth.

With slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

William Petenshy

Klimt van Zieks, Where does your first name come from? It seems more like a last name to me..

Dear Anon,

In terms of things I disliked about my parents, one that certainly stood out was their pretentiousness. Yes, Klimt is most certainly a last name. It was taken from a man that my parents met upon their world travels, a man who was very talented in the art of decorating things in gold.

My brother was named after the Baroque period of art, especially the more golden paintings. I am certain you may be beginning to see a theme.

They loved putting up appearances. Our names were simply further steps in that.

My dear cousin Henry,

I have solved your little puzzle and I must say, I fear for you. Truly, I do. I do not know what fate awaits you, but I can only plead for you to find some way to avert it. Holmesies and I will find some way to discover the truth about your circumstances if the need be, but I hope it does not have to come to that.

With great concern, Iris

Iris, do you ever plan to collect your stories in a more complete format than just the magazine versions? -💖

Dearest 💖,

I will admit, I've put quite a bit of thought into such a question. It would be quite a source of revenue for Papa and I, and I would love to make some new clothes for Ginebean and Kazumie... Though, I feel a bit of the reason for the success of the stories is due to their serialized nature.

Would it compromise the integrity of the story? The spacing? The mystery? Those are questions I have wrestled with. Papa likes to tell his stories all at once, which, while entertaining, does sometimes put me to sleep after the second or third hour. I cannot imagine how much worse it would be with this compounded through a full novel.

That being said, it is a great honour to have you interested in such a product from myself. I am proud of my stories, and I am proud to share them.

Love, Iris

Dear Mr. sholmes

While I know you use your great powers of deduction exclusively for good, with only the occasional frivolity. What would you do if you decided to pursue more unlawful activities? An evil alter ego perhaps?

Best,

My dear,

I am glad to hear that you have such an opinion of me! I will admit, there are times wherein I will commit a crime if I think it will right a wrong, though I do prefer to be on the side of the law.

In terms of my more unlawful activities, I do think it would be interesting to describe a theoretical crime that may be done, with just enough clues to solve it, and if the individuals I give such a puzzle to cannot figure it out, the crime would commence. Does that make sense? What a puzzle!

Signed, Detective Herlock Sholmes

P.S. - I do quite enjoy the indecipherable symbol you've sent me! It happened to puzzle me.

Sherlock, did you get your partner's letter? - 💜

My dear 💜,

I am very pleased to announce that yes, I have received my partner's letter. I can only assume he answered as quickly as possible, which delighted me more than I can state. The contents of this letter, I cannot share, but let it be known that my melancholic violin playing was unwarranted.

Suffice it to say, I shall be purchasing a boat ticket soon!

Signed, Sherlock Holmes

Dear father,

I have a request for you.

Please destroy any case files that has something to do with Victoria Karma.

Henry

My son,

While I understand you may be hesitant to re-experience a difficult time in your life, I will not be a part of any sort of destruction of evidence. I am honestly surprised that you would ask me, of all people, to do something like the conspiracy our family was dragged into all those years ago.

I will not be complicit in this. All I can ask is that you talk to someone about the trouble you are in. Particularly your Uncle Sherlock, if you can manage it.

With care, Lord Barok van Zieks

Enoch:

Not long after your incarceration in late October, and due to some tragic events, The Professor case was reopened. Following the trial Lord Van Zieks has made the truth of those events known to the general public.

Has anyone told what that truth was? If so, how has made you feel?

Dearest anon,

I feel about that trial the same way I feel about that entire portion of my life: a time that must be moved on from. I feel grateful for the knowledge that I was not imagining what I saw that night, and of course enraged that the truth was kept quiet through the ending and ruining of lives, my own included. I did what I did to bring the truth out of hiding, and I am glad it lives in the open. I wish it could have been sooner, but I am happy that the public now knows.

Gratefully, Enoch Drebber
