Note

You’re actually a Sherlock Holmes character come to life, from a little seaside town and knows all the terribly fascinating and nautical goings-ons

Me and Watson have a good jaw about the sea novel he's reading, and whether or not the author got all the nautical details right.

(Watson takes the position that it doesn't MATTER if you get the details right, so long as you tell a GOOD YARN. Holmes, who is splayed out on the ground licking the caulking, snorts derisively.)

#I wish to emphasize that I am in this story purely for LOCAL COLOUR #maybe I give a little lecture on the different ways to splice a rope #which will turn out to be critical later #of course when Watson writes up the story afterwards #he gets all the splicing details wrong #and I am mocked in the local forever after #for not knowing an eye splice from an end splice #which I suppose is what you get for talking to AUTHORS #AUTHORS!#*shakes fist*#*spits tobacco*#ask game #sherlock holmes #weirdest theory about me
