It was a graveyard smash!

[is dressed, as one might expect, as Sherlock Holmes--but of a decidedly different variety]

... I suppose it will do for now, although I remain critical of that particular adaptation.

[is dressed as the Cheshire Cat, even if that particular reference is beyond him.]

What would you have chosen, then?

[hardlyboy]

The traditional Holmes attire, which I find more suiting to me overall. Good evening, Hanbei-san.

[shigeharu]

I'm not familiar enough with any of it to know the difference, honestly. I suppose it's one more thing to put on my reading list...!

I hope you're enjoying yourself so far, Shirogane-kun?

[hardlyboy]

If you are interested in becoming familiar with the canon, I can provide some recomendations for you.

[shigeharu]

I'd appreciate that, actually.

[hardlyboy]

Certainly. The library should have the entire Sherlock Holmes literary works, although I may have one or two currently checked out myself. I'll see what is available.

[shigeharu]

So it's a favorite of yours?

[hardlyboy]

In particular, yes.

[shigeharu]

What else do you like to read?

[hardlyboy]

I have some interest in the Classical texts, of course, as well as books on criminal justice. For the most part, however, I enjoy detective fiction.

[shigeharu]

All so relevant! Your dedication never ceases to impress, Shirogane-kun.

[hardlyboy]

Thank you for the compliment.

[shigeharu]

I simply call them as I see them.

[hardlyboy]

Well, I will not deny the influence that particular genre has had on me...

[shigeharu]

Your interest in the genre came before your choice to pursue the career, or was it the other way around?
