Telepathic IC 'Inbox' and Messenger Bird Reception

[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!]

Being a detective clearly requires a keen mind and logical insight. I must admit I'd never considered how tricky it could be until this moment.

One cannot truly fathom the challenges of a detective until one follows in a detective's footsteps, I believe. [Which is precisely why he kept spurring Naruhodou to tackle investigations.]

It is a curious world, and yet, at times it is a dreadful one. The truth can be ugly.

I have not found that to be a universal truth. As a detective, are you not routinely exposed only to the worst? It must be easy it lose sight of the beautiful truths and the wonderful world when you are constantly called upon to see only its darkness.

[greatestdefective]

Not at all. It is true; the darkness is evident and on occasion, it can wear one down. However, the beautiful truths are all around us, even in the simplest of things. Art, food, enticing conversation, friendship... The world shrouded in light serves as a reminder that not all is dark.

I think the darkness is a reminder of how warm and bright the light can be... oh, but listen to us speaking metaphorically about things that can be taken literally. My sister would be justifiably upset.

Your sister? What reason would she have to be upset?

[letteropener]

Why, she is the Princess of the Night, of course. And the darkness she brings when she raises the moon is very literal and certainly not negative in the slightest!

[greatestdefective]

The, errr, of course. Yes, Princess of the Night. Quite right. [He's talking to a royal pony, so this whole concept sort of fits right in.]

Though, does the act of raising the moon not bring light to darkness?

[letteropener]

Oh, I should explain -- in Equestria, the moon is to the night as the sun is to the day. I am told in human worlds that is different, and that the moon can even be visible during the day on some worlds, but Equestria is not the same. The moon lights the darkness, but it is still dark compared to the day.
