Old Sherlock muse resurfaces

[solvescases]

A canon review? Splendid, you are entirely overdo. Spending too much time watching that ungainly Brett fellow.

[Well, um about that...the dvd is not exactly here yet.]

I despise waiting. Give me problems! Give me work! [He flops in his chair with a sigh.] At the very least, give me Watson. Compu-droid or otherwise.

Well hello there Mr. Holmes. I hadn't expected I would meet you of all people here, but I suppose it was a matter of time.

Don't mind the creaking...

[gentleman_thiefal]

[Lupin nods in understanding.] I'm afraid that the mademoiselle must do that as well. [He takes out a cigarette from his case and lights it up. He offers the case to Holmes.]
Would you care for one?

[solvescases]

I believe you have the advantage of me, Mr....?

[solvescases]

Thank you. [Sherlock has not even been able to light up his pipe since being reanimated. He takes the offered cigarette gladly, smelling it with a sigh of recognition.] That takes me back...

[gentleman_thief]

You can call me Trilby.

You will find this place has rather strange properties. Many people will recognize you while you will not recognize them.

[solvescases]

Strange indeed. However, not uncommon, my colleague Dr. Watson's stories seem to have put my reputation before me in most cases.

[And Watson is sorely missed.]

[gentleman_thief]

Yes although most people where I'm from think you're purely fiction, but seeing as I was deliberately made to seem as if I was fictional I'm now not so sure. It was shockingly easy to fade into obscurity.

[solvescases]

Fiction indeed. [The very idea is ludicrous.] I suppose its easier to believe such a thing than the truth.

[gentleman_thief]

Certainly. I've found that to be true in my previous line of work as well as my current.

If something seems impossible people are willing to push aside all evidence that it is true.

[gentleman_thiefal]

[Lupin puts away the case, and takes out a match. He strikes the match on a Convenient Wall(tm), and lights up Holmes's cigarette.]

It is my pleasure.

By the way, my lady wishes to tell your writer that he/she could find your exploits here.

[What Holmes says piques his interest.] Do they not have such pleasures where you are?

[solvescases]

Thank you. She is quite aware... [He takes a drag on the cigarette.] However, she seems most excited about finding all such exploits complete on a disc of some sort.

I'm afraid not. Smoking is all but disappeared in the 22nd century. I'm partial to a pipe myself.
