[Today, and only for today, there is a beautiful pool of water. Next to it, there is a large assortment of different fruits, oat cakes, and many different colors of string. Above the string is a sign:]

Happy Ooidal Flight of the Pelargic Fraternity!
Tie a knot with the string in the fashion you wish, drop it into the water, and let it glow. Your

... fascinating.

[hardlyboy]

Seven months, then later for about three and a half.

[takeme2urpants]

That is quite some time, yes. What of your family, if I may ask?

[hardlyboy]

I was raised for the most part by my grandfather, the previous head of the family. My parents died when I was very young.

[takeme2urpants]

I see. My apologies for your loss.

[hardlyboy]

[waves her hand]

It was a long time ago, and I have not felt neglected by their absence. I honor their memory by being the best detective I can be.

[takeme2urpants]

Were they in the same line of work?

[hardlyboy]

Yes, they were both detectives; my family has been known for our dedication in that field for many generations.

[takeme2urpants]

I must say, I am impressed by this dedication. It seems rare, does it not?

[Mess Hall get]

[hardlyboy]

Not rare, I think... but a tad unusual, yes.

I am glad you have such direction in your life. It is a challenging field, and, from what little I know, fascinating.

[hardlyboy]

[WTF]

Yes, I would agree with that. But I feel it is my calling, so to speak, and it can be incredibly rewarding.

[TASTES OF THE SEA, YARRRRR]

Do you normally deal with homicides?

[hardlyboy]

Yes, although this last case was a little unusual.
