Beautiful 1:30 AM decisions. Bust is best character.

[busted_moran]

[ What is this?

Why, it's a waxwork bust, cast in the likeness of one very famous consulting detective (the cheekbones may be off, given your interpretation. Just squint).

Do you:

> Admire the craftsmanship and cleverly place it in your window in hopes of busting a criminal?
> Get your poor housekeeper to crawl on her hands and knees to adjust it every few minutes?
> Shoot the damn thing and pray you don't end up in prison?
> Attempt to get your best chum to get rid of it because it won't look that nice riddled with bullet holes?
> Make puns? Think of all the puns.
> Ignore it. It will be forgotten in the next story anyway. ]

Ran-neechan! Look what I found!

[Warning: you may be close to being replaced in Shinichi's affectations by a wax model.]

[ then he only has himself to blame when he finds himself old and lonely one day ]

Where did you find it?



...And what is it?

[busted_moran]

[ Besides glorious? ]

[karates_doors]

[ I think the word you're looking for is "creepy" ]

[busted_moran]

[ Don't make me bust a cap. ]

[holmes_fanatic]

Can't you tell? It's the wax-model replica of Sherlock Holmes constructed to fool Colonel Sebastian Moran in The Adventure of the Empty House!

[tigers]

[ That is so obviously a lie. ]

[holmes_fanatic]

[Eep.]

[karates_doors]

That's Sherlock Holmes?

Where did you find something like that?

[holmes_fanatic]

It was just ... there.

No one was using it.

[karates_doors]

Conan-kun!! You can't just take things without asking!

[holmes_fanatic]

It's not a thing!

It is a perfect replica in wax of Sherlock Holmes' head!

[karates_doors]

That definitely counts as a "thing".

[holmes_fanatic]

...

Does it?

[karates_doors]

You need to put it back where you found it!

[holmes_fanatic]

Maybe we should keep it until someone shows up to take it home!

[karates_doors]

That's stealing, Conan-kun.

[holmes_fanatic]

It's keeping precious memorabilia safe for Sherlock Holmes!

[karates_doors]

If you want to keep it you have to find the owner and ask them!

[ what if I drag you off to do just that ]

[holmes_fanatic]

[Then dragged. You are the karate champ here.

WAIT FOR ME BUST! WE'LL FIND A WAY~!]

[karates_doors]

[ maybe that nice man with the sideburns knows who owns it ]
