[AUDIO: Eddie sounds like he might be fatigued or hung over.]

Why the fuck is there a shark in the level five common room?

[ooc; Still on hiatus, but around most of today/tonight and then back June 1. Please note, there is a shark. Eddie is not lying.]

I had assumed it was because that's where his tank is.

Unless it's a she-shark.

I don't know that she was a criminal, exactly, she was just very concerned with the well being of animals.

...Mr. Holmes is romantically involved with a criminal? He told me he was a bachelor.

Which room?

[acertifieduser]

Was she one of those protesting, tree-hugger types?

No. I'm talking about a guy in a story. It's totally different.

My living room slash office.

[19centconstable]

She organized protests, yes. I don't know about tree hugging, but it sounds a bit saucy, eh?

Mr. Holmes is the Mr. Holmes whom Mr. Doyle wrote about. I do understand your confusion, though. I had also thought Mr. Doyle had made him up, mostly on account of how he spoke of him. I'm afraid I haven't actually read his work yet, but he does drop by our station quite often. It's a shame about his wife.

That does make the most sense. I think I'd find a bedroom without wallpaper terribly dreary, though. I couldn't let a room like that.

If you're into that kind ofthing. My dad hated it. He called me a bleeding heart just for trying to write.

It wasn't his wife-- I thought you said you didn't marry your hippie girl?

You have something against paint?

[19centconstable]

Are you a writer, then?

I didn't; I mean Mr. Doyle's wife. Consumption, I'm afraid.

It's very plain.

[acertifieduser]

I guess so. I mean yeah, I write, but I did other things too. It kind of depends on the day.

Oh. That's Tuberculosis, right?

Sometimes simplicity is a good thing.

[19centconstable]

Jack of all trades, eh?

Yes. Terrible disease.

They have simpler wallpapers.

[acertifieduser]

When I'm in the right mood, yeah.

Wallpaper's a pain to put up though, and to repair. Painting is way easier.
