As much fun as I would have had restocking my suit collection, I somehow managed to luck out with my entire wardrobe showing up up in my closet over the weekend. It's nice to feel more like myself again.

Instead, I'll get to work on restocking my wine collection. Maybe it won't disappear as quickly since my friend Mozzie isn't here to drink it all.

[SHERLOCK HOLMES]

Hello, my name is Neal Caffrey, and ~~I'm a BIG fan~~ I was curious if you planned to open or already had opened an agency here. Rumor has it that you're the best in the business, and I'd be interested in consulting with you on occasion if the need arises.

I have previous consulting experience with a law enforcement agency in my home world, and my record might even rival yours, if I may be so bold. My case expertise in is white collar crimes such as theft, forgeries of all sorts, code-breaking, the arts, and many other areas that I could touch on a later date. I'd understand that you may not trust my own word for my skills, so I'm open to a test or trial run, if you're interested. Thank you for your time.

	Careful. You might make Elijah jealous. I'm Tony. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I don't believe I've met an Elijah yet, but I guess that's not saying a whole lot since shortly after I got her, we were all invaded. I'm Neal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My best friend back home. Instead of using his own wine collection, which is pretty extensive on its own, he pilfers from mine instead. He can be a little... eccentric. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He sounds fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've gone back and forth. This place would either be his conspiracy theory dream come true, or he'd hole up in a safehouse somewhere and never be seen again. Each option is about 50/50. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It seems everyone is getting their wishes fulfilled- if they made a wish in the first place. I am of course operating under the assumption that you wished for your wardrobe. If I am wrong and you indeed did not? Which by the way? I do not think that I am but in the slight chance of that possibility? Congratulations on your 'suits' just somehow appearing out of thin air. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ihaveabadge 2021-02-16 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	No indeed, you're exactly right. I believe I wished for them and they showed up on their own. Many of the suits have sentimental value, as much as a suit can, so I it was a happy surprise. Did you make any wishes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aloneholmes 2021-02-16 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	Then congratulations on your happy surprise. I did. Only one and it was promptly fulfilled. Suspicious as it is? I am sure there is a perfectly logical explanation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ihaveabadge 2021-02-16 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	Why, thank you. I used to be of the same mind, but ever since I was brought to an alternate reality New York, I've stopped searching for logical explanations. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aloneholmes 2021-02-16 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	Everything has a logical explanation, you just have to crack the code. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ihaveabadge 2021-02-17 12:02 am UTC (link)
	Oh, really? And are you an expert at code-cracking? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aloneholmes 2021-02-17 12:55 am UTC (link)
	It is my area of expertise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ihaveabadge 2021-02-17 01:01 am UTC (link)
	Interesting. I've been known to crack or write one every now and again myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aloneholmes 2021-02-17 01:16 am UTC (link)
	Oh!? Could you perhaps write one for me to crack? I'm Enola. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ihaveabadge 2021-02-17 01:22 am UTC (link)
	I can definitely work on something and get it to you soon. Sounds like fun. Hello, Enola, I'm Neal. By chance, does your last name happen to be Holmes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aloneholmes 2021-02-17 01:24 am UTC (link)
	Certainly more fun than what has transpired here of late. It's a pleasure to meet you, Neal. But now I am curious as to how you deduced my name? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ihaveabadge 2021-02-17 01:26 am UTC (link)
	You're not at all wrong about that. You too. I believe we may have a mutual friend, and she recently mentioned staying with you and your brother during the ordeal of the last couple of weeks - Elizabeth Bennet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aloneholmes 2021-02-17 01:37 am UTC (link)
	Well, any friend of Lizzy's must be worthy of knowing. I'm fond of her and the way she handles my brother. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She seemed fond of you too and highly amused by your brother. Speaking of, I've actually reached out to Sherlock about the possibility of consulting if he happens to take up any cases while here, if my services might be needed, of course. It wasn't that long ago that I was tracking down leads and clues in this very city with my partner. Well, the real world version of this city.

	~~You should see them together.~~ I am sure he will answer you promptly. As to whether he will accept the help or not? I can not say. ~~It certainly would not kill him to learn to work closely with others.~~ Are you a detective as well, Neal? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

ihaveabadge

I would understand if he decides not to accept the help. I steer on the side of working with those I know and trust most of the time.

~~Heh~~. Not exactly. I was a consultant to a law enforcement agency due to my expertise in various areas. You already know about one of them, but I've skills in a handful of other areas too: the arts and antiquities, safe-cracking, forgeries, among others.

	Ordinarily, I work independently; however, given the nature of this place and its updates in technology, your skills would be of use to me. I am not averse to your consultation. This is a matter I will discuss with my sister, as I suspect she is keen to begin working to this degree as well. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	filter ihaveabadge 2021-02-21 03:58 pm UTC (link)
	That's completely understandable, and I'd be happy to assist you in any way that may be of use. I've missed working in the field, so if you do decide bring me on as a consult, you'd be helping me out as well. Of course. As it seems to be in this place, none of us are going anywhere, so please take your time making a decision. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	filter assertion 2021-02-23 07:40 am UTC (link)
	Your offer and cooperation are duly noted and appreciated. My sister will be administering tests on your behalf. We are in the process of discussing opening our own agency properly in the interim. (Reply to this) (Parent)
