Maybe paradisa

[loves_osaka]

D'ya really think ya can handle me, Kudo, and th' Thief?

Well, as long as th' prick doesn' show up I can't complain too much. Besides, I bet Kudo needs his best friend t' help him with th' difficult cases.

Comments

[modernholmes]

Hardly. I am perfectly capable of handling the cases here.

[loves_osaka]

If that were so wouldn'cha be back home safe an' sound by now? It seems t' me that ya could use a little help from th' best.

[modernholmes]

[He has no answer for that, but have an unhappy scowl.]

[loves_osaka]

[He loves it when he's right]

[modernholmes]

I do not need help.

[loves_osaka]

Really? Then when can I expect ya back at th' agency?

[modernholmes]

[...]

When this case is finished.

[loves_osaka]

And how long have ya been workin' on it?

[modernholmes]

Seven months. [So annoyed at having to admit that.]

[loves_osaka]

...Seven!?

..Oi... I think yer losin' yer touch.

[modernholmes]

This case may be more complicated than any I have seen before. There are no suspects and all the witnesses are unreliable. And that's not even taking all the impossibilities of the castle into consideration.

If your mun truly intends to send you to this castle, then you will find out for yourself.

[loves_osaka]

Eh, she's readin' over everythin' now so we'll see.

[modernholmes]

So it is time for that already.

[loves_osaka]

...

She's gonna make me lose the Omamouri. I just know it.

[modernholmes]

It could be worse. You will still have the memories, at least.

[loves_osaka]

Yeah, least it's not th' my hat.

....that too.

[modernholmes]

[He turns away, not looking directly at Hattori.]

...I lost all my childhood memories of Ran. The first I can remember of her is that night.

[loves_osaka]

Ouch. Tha's rough.

You mean the night. or Th' night she waited on ya?

[modernholmes]

Just before I saw them for the first time. The murder on the Mystery Coaster.

[loves_osaka]

Yeesh.

...Well.. at least ya remember her?

[modernholmes]

Aaaa, there is that.

[loves_osaka]

[ ....this conversation is slightly depressing ]

Maa, my mun is actually workin' on that app. So it really seems like I'll be joinin' ya.

[modernholmes]

[...Just a bit.]

Ah, already? I'll watch for you, then.

[loves_osaka]

Yeah, though she's still havin' a bit o' trouble with gettin' a good start.

[modernholmes]

The beginning is usually a good place. [So unhelpful.]

[loves_osaka]

[Totally ignoring you Kudo]

Well, I can't say I'm surprised- there is an awful lot to get in there. I'm pretty complex guy.

[modernholmes]

How many times has she used the phrases hot-blooded and Osakan food so far?

[loves_osaka]

None.

But she did just state I was pretty simple.

[modernholmes]

Oh? That's surprising.

...Accurate. You do have to admit you're a very straight forward kind of person.

[loves_osaka]

Oi. Stop givin' her ideas. She's supposed to write it. Not you, Kudo.

....there's a better word fer tha' than 'simple'

[modernholmes]

Singleminded? Uncomplicated? There are many words with similar meanings.

[loves_osaka]

All of those sound like an insult, ya brat.

[modernholmes]

Do they? That had not occurred to me.

[loves_osaka]

Then why do I get th' feelin' yer lyin' through yer teeth?

[modernholmes]

[And he just starts snickering.]

[loves_osaka]

[Just this face.]

[modernholmes]

Why make that kind of face? They were only suggestions.

[loves_osaka]

"He's pretty straightforward and usually comes off as a bit dense"

You had Somethin' t' do with this, didn' ya?

[modernholmes]

Oi. Straight forward is a positive trait, isn't it? You provided the rest on your own.

[loves_osaka]

Yeah. But the 'comes off as a bit dense' sure ain't.

[modernholmes]

Consider yourself lucky. My mun went into unnecessary detail on my social abilities. [Implied that he was antisocial and incapable of connecting with people in situations unrelated to mysteries.]

[loves_osaka]

No, but she did say I was better at readin' people than you.

[modernholmes]

Oi, oi, don't sound so happy about that.

[loves_osaka]

Well, she's got th' app done. Now just waitin' on an answer to a question.

[modernholmes]

What question is that?

[loves_osaka]

About my accent. Wanted t' clear it with th' mods and make sure it was okay t' use in th' samples.

[modernholmes]

I'm surprised you aren't shouting about it.

[loves_osaka]

Ah, that's because I'm so annoyed at such a stupid questions I have no words for it.

There's nothin' wrong with how I speak. An th' mods are sure t' realize it's part o' my character.

[modernholmes]

Oh, of course.

I doubt it will be an issue.
