Superstitions Smoocherstitions!

Subject: Drunk Detectives Dunk On Dumb Delusions
Warnings: beware of alcohol, kids

[It's that once in a blue moon time where Heizou makes a public appearance on the network. And it becomes quite clear why once the feed comes on: his face is quite pink and he has a big cheeky grin on his face and a bottle of wine in the hand that isn't holding the camera. So... Yeah, he appears to be drunk.

He also appears to be outside somewhere, despite how late it is. And he is also not alone! Beside him there appears to be one (1) Sherlock Holmes, currently laying down on his seat with his feet up in the air and his head dangling over the edge. He is also attempting to play his violin from this position, for.... some reason. Science? Science.

Either way, the video feed turns on to the sound of Heizou giggling and Sherlock's violin playing. And Heizou trying to figure out what position he needs to be sitting in to send out his Very Important Message. He finds it eventually, with the shellphone angled so that both he and Sherlock are in frame - or at least Sherlock's feet are - and he addresses his invisible audience with an even bigger grin.]


Ah-- Here! Helloooo one and all~! Your friendly local detective agency has decided to take on the mysteeeerious case of.... Sailor superstitions~! That is right my dear rift-jumping fellows, we've even decided to do this one pro bono! That means freeeee~

[There's a moment of fumbling the camera, and once it settles Heizou is holding the camera out at arm's length to reveal where he and Sherlock are: what appears to be a fake boat, crudely built and sitting on land (so to speak) like a playground for children. Did they find this? Did they drunkenly grab chairs and tables and bits of wood to build it themselves? Who knows. But it sure is... vaguely boat-shaped.]

Now as you can see here, the great Mr. Sherlock Holmes and yours truly are currently on board a boat! And as you can also see- [He tilts his head down slightly so that the camera gets a better angle on all his burgundy-colored hair.] -my hair is quite red! But have we run into any bad luck on our voyage? Nooope~! Aaaand POOF! Myth busted!

[At this point Sherlock chimes in drunkenly from off-screen:]

Heizou, did we test all the ways to swirl the alcohol? Did we forget one? [Since obviously up and down is an option-] The taste didn't change at all!

[Someone should... probably stop them. Or maybe join them! Decisions, decisions...]

If I managed to get drunk on a ship on water, then that means I managed to not get seasick and felt well enough to have a drink.

...I'll give you that.

(That is good luck.)

Indeed. I have been on longer sea voyages before, and consuming the bare minimum of simple fare is the most I can manage on calmer seas.

That must really suck.

If the seas weren't calm for long enough you could be in actual danger.


(It seems like a bad idea for him to even be on a boat.)

[ Yes, well, world of water here. He doesn't have much of a choice. ]

When I first got here, I felt sick while upon Eltrut. It was horrible but still better than on a ship.

That sounds painful.

Think you might be able to adjust to ships too?

[ There is a delay because Sherlock tries to think if it would be possible. There was the time John rowed them both in the bayou, but there were so many other factors at play that he cannot be sure. Unless John at the helm somehow interferes with his trauma? Can gay defeat seasickness? ]

Thus far, this landlocked ship is the only ship I've felt comfortable on.
