Case 1: The Case of the Living Detective

[With a very undignified grunt, Watson manages to at least sit up and then look around the place, obviously something like a lobby if the decor and such were right, and well its Watson so he ends up just observing the area round him, even noticing the obviously open journal nearby, and even if he is dead acute observation is still a strong skill of

You're in Paradisa. [ the young, friendly and possibly chirpier than it should be - she's been having a good day - voice comes across the journal, ever so helpful ] And, unfortunately, this is another world.

[ she sighs, because there's never a good explanation for this ] Paradisa's a magical castle, as crazy as it sounds. It brings you here, can do things while you're here and then when it's bored you'll be sent back home. There are people that have been there for years without funding a way out so sadly, we're stuck. Sorry.

Paradisa hmm? I do dare say that people tend to lack imagination in naming things it seems, Paradisa, Sanctuary, Head of House...[He's just musing here, out loud yes but its fun no?] But another world entirely?

[Now he really can't take a young girl seriously when she's talking about magic...but then he remembers she sounds young and IS a girl, so, cue Victorian sensibilities much here?] A magical castle? I've seen creatures that could pass as unicorns, and dragons, and Bigfoot, and other mythical creatures, which were the by product of evolution. But magic? There is no such thing surely, everything can be explained by science, EVEN unicorns and dragons and Bigfoot, who is a very nice chap by the way.

However a castle growing bored? [Heavy on the sarcasm here even though it is true.] Well then I do dare say it doesn't grow bored of me considering I would go back to being dead in an underground tunnel.

As much as you'd rather not believe it - there aren't many who do - it's real. And those here that can use magic probably wouldn't appreciate being told it's not real. [ And yes, she's seen their magic thank you. She didn't think it existed either till she saw it - and that was on her first day too ] And I think there are dragons here, I know that there used to be a unicorn. [ She's going to watch for that Bigfoot now, though [

Hopefully it won't get bored quickly, then. [ While most people came from okay places, she knew that some came from worse. This would definitely be worse ]

You don't have to believe me but there's no other explanation for it.

Ahh but see young lady, if my ears don't deceive me and they rarely deceive me, I deal in scientific fact. Magic isn't real, its merely an ability derived from an as yet unknown source is all. Do remember electricity was seen as magic until it was studied, as were such things as the radio. [Now cue curiosity on this one.] Oh really? Now that IS interesting, seeing things like that here, dragons and unicorns yes? [And do please tell him if you see Bigfoot, he makes one heck of a good cup of tea.]

Yes well that would be nice of it no? I'd rather not go back to that.[Even though he was all prepared to die, staying alive is a nice thing too. Even in a funky castle with magic.]

Ahh well then as a man of science I will just have to see what I can do yes? Because as I said earlier, even electricity was magic until we tamed it.

Like I said, you don't have to believe me but it's here. You'll find out soon enough when either you run into someone or the castle does something. [ She shakes her head at herself ] There's one unicorn that I know, and a lot of talking ponies.
