Sender ID: book2thehead (Shikanoin Heizou)
To: General Public
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...]

going voice for sherlock lmao

[indispensable]

The paneling might take a hit from the acid, I suppose.

[The nice, well-made paneling that Kaveh worked so hard to do so nicely...

Better be careful there Sherlock, not even being an adopted son will spare you the wrath that comes with ruining your father's work.]

Gotta be able to do the disappointed father voice

[astudyinviolet]

[ He didn't know Kaveh made the playboat! How much of Eltrut is Kaveh-Made? ]

Why is there acid now? Acid--

[ A pause as Sherlock realizes the completely wrong meaning from this. ]

Death by acid would be a new one for me.

:C the most disappointed

[indispensable]

[Alhaitham usually does not swear to the gods but Celestia wherever the fuck you are please grant him strength.]

The acid from your stomach should you throw up.

[Which he's like 90% sure is going to happen.]

8c

[astudyinviolet]

[ Celestia has no power here. The only strength Alhaitham can depend on is his own. ]

I'm not nauseous though, and this ship had sailed remarkable smoothly.

[ As in hasn't sailed anywhere at all. He's also only had one glass of wine with some food in his stomach, not that Alhaitham knows that. ]

Re: 8c

[indispensable]

Give it an hour.

[Probably less than that, actually. But he'll be generous for Sherlock's sake.]

[astudyinviolet]

[ There is a small click as Sherlock checks his pocket watch for the time. It's later than he thought it was. ]

Shall I report back in an hour?

[indispensable]

Sure.

[...if Sherlock is still conscious by then, anyway. If Alhaitham were a betting man, it would be very much on a resounding 'no'.]

[astudyinviolet]

[ He may in fact fall asleep into a peaceful doze if he gets to stay snuggled near Heizou. Having someone's close presence, a way from Sherlock to know he's not alone, does wonders for keeping his nightmares at bay.

Alas, it is not a very accessible option for Sherlock. ]

[indispensable]

[Well either way Alhaitham does hope that Sherlock will get a good rest for once. Archons knows that he needs it.]

[astudyinviolet]

[ He does need all the sleep he can get. Someone cuddle him in the pillow fort. ]

[indispensable]

[Surely the mountain of plushies will be enough for that. Sherlock does not want to ask Alhaitham for hugs.]

[astudyinviolet]

[ Alhaitham is free from having that happen. Sherlock doesn't know how to ask for hugs. It is why he bought two plush that make him feel like he's being hugged. Doesn't help with the comfort of knowing that someone is there with him though. 8( ]

[indispensable]

[Time to invest in a pillow that hugs him back.]
