Telepathic IC 'Inbox' and Messenger Bird Reception

[greatestdefective]

[Catch-all post for one-on-one messages that need to be delivered directly to Sherlock, either through the amulets or with a messenger bird. Meeting in person is also an option!]

Eh? [He stops, staring wide eye over at what the little bear charm was doing.] Did...did that charm just move!?

[greatestdefective]

Ooow... [At last, the effects of the initial tug die down and the bear stops convulsing around Holmes's thumb, instead focusing solely on its main purpose.] Yes, yes. It's to alert me that its significant other was activated, so to speak. The bear and the bunny are a pair, responding to one another. They're meant to communicate.

[Sure enough, while Holmes's words are already audible in the normal sense, they're being duplicated in a softer tone by the bunny.]

[ryuwrighthistory]

Wha-!? [He fumbles with the charm when he could hear Holmes' voice coming from it too.] What the heck!? It's been able to do that this whole time!?

[greatestdefective]

Isn't it brilliant? Aren't they wonderful? Back home, where we don't have things like telepathy or those newfangled radios they've been working on, this is ideal!

[ryuwrighthistory]

But...how!? [How is this thing able to function almost like an amulet then? He shakes his head.] So then, Iris-chan left this with us so we could contact you. That's...really is brilliant.

[Do not ask about the science behind it, Naruhodou. Holmes hasn't even mentioned the holograms yet.]

Right? It's genius! With these charms, one could ask for my advice wherever they are! [...] Well, perhaps not from across the world, but... I believe the range does venture outside of England.

[ryuwrighthistory]

Like...a town nearby? If you were in Sharnaath while I'm still in Verens for example, would it reach that far? [It's not amulet distance, but still impressive if it could.]

...Also, that tells me you had plans or intentions to go somewhere outside of England at some point. [It's a stretch, but why make something capable of that long a distance if they weren't going to utilize it?]

[greatestdefective]

I think it would reach that far! Though, I suppose it depends how far along Verens has drifted.

[He sets the bear down in the collar of his shirt, allowing it to hold onto his ear. There, that's way easier. It allows him to wave both hands at Naruhodou.]

And of course I had plans to go outside of England! Have you forgotten? I am the world's greatest detective! People far and wide enlist my services. Should Iris ever have need for me, I wish to be able to hear her calls. Perhaps, one day, these charms will be able to communicate on a worldwide basis after all. [And then... Then he could make one for Mikotoba.]

[ryuwrighthistory]

. . .Or if I do. [He hasn't mention the part about Mikotoba wanting him to go back to Japan. It's probably for the best to keep that detail to himself for now.] Well, I have something to look forward to whenever I get back to that case again. [He glances down at the photo they took at the hotel, picking it up.]

Do you...want to hold onto this?

[greatestdefective]

[Honestly, Holmes had intended to just take that photo without asking. It's for the best that Naruhodou asked about it.]

How about I trade you something for it? You may hold onto the rabbit charm in turn again. Perhaps it will serve you well, some day. [He walks over to Naruhodou, snatching the photo from his friend's hand.] As for this... I believe I'll have it framed and set up in the living room.

[Buuut he is going to fold it in such a way that Jigoku and his enormous suitcase are effectively removed from the shot, along with Naruhodou's arm. Nobody wants to look at a big, burly, bearded fellow all day long.]

[ryuwrighthistory]

[Wow, take the photo before he even says yes. He smiles none the less, hearing what he has planned for it.] All right. I'll need it back someday, so be careful with it. [As for the rabbit charm, he pockets it for now.]

[greatestdefective]

[Oh please, it's not like any damage done to it here will impact it back home, right? ...Right?]

Of course, of cooourse! What sort of person do you take me for? [He asks even as he slips the photo into his back pocket. ...Yup.]
