yogen | Case 2: the Curious Detective

Who: Sherlock and Whoever - open
When: Mid-June
Where: Various
What: Cooking With Detective, Flour sitting, etc.

A. Japanese Curry is British?! (Closed to Lucifer)
[As promised, a promise he only realized he made after the sleepover, he started to make curry in the kitchen once the staff left school for the day – having told Lucifer when to stop by. Thankfully curry is a common enough dish that he didn’t need to hunt too much for the ingredients, though the curry powder while having the appropriate subtle sweetness was much too mild on its own.

By the time Lucifer would arrive, he’d find things underway, the rice cooking, apple and vegetables sliced and the Detective mixing something in the powder]

Ah, there you are, would you mind trying this?

B. Flour sack check
[It was his turn to watch the flour sack, named Toby just because. His fingers trace the outside of it, lips pursing in thought]

You are quite a bit livelier than most substitute babies are...

[If he only had access to an x-ray machine, as Nene wanted this to succeed he won’t open the sack himself – he’s not completely heartless]

I hope this won't be a mistake.

C. Wildcard.

[Want something else? Catch him anywhere in the school, either in the library or examining the construction, beating up imps.

Or hit me up on plurk at

RShini or Shini#2300 on Discord]

[Lucifer hadn't entirely forgotten about that promise per-say, it just hadn't been the first thing on his mind for a while, considering the state of everything. Having been invited to a sort of after school lunch reminded him, oh yeah, that was a thing that was discussed — and he seems particularly pleased with the smells wafting from the kitchen when he meanders in.

He takes a small sample of the dish as instructed, pauses to savour the taste, and gives an approving nod.]

Not bad, detective.

[A good-natured smile, and then Lucifer leans against the countertop some distance away so not to disturb the process.]

It's not every day I get human-world varieties of curry.

Human-world implies there are... devil-specific curries.

[He glances back as he places filleted fish into the pan]

Is that spicy enough for you or should I add more heat?

I won't say no to more heat.

[Demons like it spicy, after all.]

There are, in fact, different varieties of food in the Devildom versus here. Depending on who you ask, human-world food is either a delicacy or the most vile thing in existence. There are different sorts of foods in the Celestial Realm as well, though they are... horribly sweet most of the time.

[He pauses for a moment, trying to think of one of the odder dishes that they have back home, and settles on:]

My youngest brother's favourite dish happens to be Quetzalcoatl brains, for example.

[A little more black pepper, some more cheyenne, it's a tricky balance to add heat without altering the flavor profile]

...

All right. That does give one a very different image than you probably intended. I suspect our idea of what Quetzalcoatl means.

[ Well he's been coddling his sack baby for awhile, except he has no idea what the fuck to do it with it. So it's been in his hands for a while. When he catches Sherlock with his, he cant help but give a strange look to the other. After a moment he approached with his own sack baby in hand. ]

A mistake? S-Sherlock are you not sure what this is either?

[He shook his head]

Not without tearing it open, or some form of imagining such as an MRI or X-ray. And Miss Nene did want to succeed in the project.

I see... I would rather not either, a part of me is so frighten frankly that it is a child inevitably... Or something of the sort. I don't want to risk it, this is rather anxiety inducing as it is... Not sure how you are handling it calmly.

[ He admits gently. Finding himself always envying the calm ways Sherlock handles situations. ]

Mostly because I have to be calm. Emotions simply get in the way of observing things objectively.

Whatever it is - it does seem alive.

(Legion has their own flour sack with them-a common occurrence, given the intensity of their dedication to caring for it.

They're carrying it with a care that might be rather surprising, though perhaps not as surprising as the overall calmness with which they react to seeing him.)

Greetings.

(They recognize him as one of those who tried to assist them when they arrived.)

Edited 2021-06-18 06:14 (UTC)

Oh, hello Legion.

[He picks up the flour sack, the inspection finished, he wraps it up the blanket again, no closer to an answer than he was before]

How are you holding up? You do seem less... guarded than previously.

All systems functional.

(They don't respond to the bit about being less guarded. Contact with other robots has helped, but the biggest thing, ironically, was the battle they witnessed. It has showed the truth that their fellow students are fellow victims.

Their flour sack makes a little noise, and they look at it with concern, taking a moment to shift it to a position they hope is more ... comfortable? Can it even experience discomfort?)

Good to hear. I am concern what would happen if you or Turing run into issues... this place is not exactly technologically advanced.

[He takes the lack of response to his observation as a suggestion not to push]

I... wonder if it's more comfortable if you hold it like a human child?

(They look at the flour sack in their arms, considering, before shifting to carry it more like a human child.)

Affirmative. Damage to musculature can be sealed with heat. Small quantities of circulatory fluid can be replaced with water.

(They are working on additional solutions, but do not tell him of their efforts.)

( admittedly, sidney is probably a little too used to acts of violence- but the sudden injuries among lone students was sickeningly jarring, and against invisible enemies... well. what can one man do? thankfully, it seems that sherlock is able to see the cause, however. )

Sherlock. What's the situation?

( it's time like this that sidney's grateful for the perpetual stoicism- as something digs into his forearm, he's able to just slam it against the wall with an uncaring swing, and though blood is drawn, he's free of whatever the hell that was. )

Imps everywhere, they're the ones attacking people. According to Lucifer, while they can be violent this is not typical.

[Sherlock had at some point stolen a meter stick from one of the class rooms, it's no cane, but it'd do for the time being as he spun the implement and thrusts it against something unseen by Sidney's eyes]

I suspect it's influenced by whatever is going on in the school.

( luciiiiii what did you do.

the worst part is that sidney can't see the threat- even if sherlock was calling out locations, he'd struggle. how big are they? the creature felt small. how fast? he's... ugh. he really isn't as good an ally in this as he wants to be. fuck. )

I see. What do you need me to do?

Right now if you can't see them - I recommend against trying to fight, the best you can do is travel with other people - the Imps primarily try to pick off loners. They are small and -

[A hop, sidestep, a leg suddenly snapping up to the side, swinging forward before pulling his leg back - the yardstick slamming on something soon as both of his feet are back on the ground]

- swift, with high mobility.

And make sure everyone else knows not to go skipping off alone.

( looks like he's going to be herding children for a little bit then, because he can slam an invisible imp off of him with ease. stephanie and some of the others, however... )

I'll spread the word.

( but it looks like sherlock's got things covered, here. )

I'll keep out of the way. Good luck.

Thank you... I do wonder, I recalled Mr. Morgan having an Adderstone - stones with holes naturally worn in the middle - they tend to have folklore ability to see the fair folk and like.

[He holds still, glancing about on guard, waiting]

Keep a look out for anything odd like that, it might be helpful.
